Commercial Club Meeting.

The Superior Commercial Club held
its first annual meeting and election o.
officers Tuesday evening when very
large per cent of the members were
present. The first business to be taken
up was the election of officers resulting
in the reinstatiIlg Of the old officers as
follows:
President, C. II. Sunderland; Vice
President, c. F. Tryon; Treasurer,
George Rolph. The following directors
to serve for three years were also
elected; l.. y, Brochon, Carl c. Pope,
and Louis IIanitch.
The commercial Club endorsed the
action of the county board of supervis-
ors with reference to the Milwaukee
and Wisconsin, semi-centenial Celebra-
ton. 1t was the sense Of the meeting
that Milwaukee was not justified in its
premature action, and a committee con-
sisting of the following gentlemen was
appointed to draft further resolutions
along the same line; JOhh Brennan,
W. T. Boland and Kirby Thomas. The
committee will formulate resolutions
for presentation at the next meeting of
the club.
The most important discussion of the
evening was over the question Of i'm
proving the harbor at the entrance OF
Howard's pocket and Tower slip. The
report OF the committee was accepted
and unanimously adopted, except that
no contract be made with Messrs Pey-
ton. Kimball & Barber, and that nc
land be taken from Connor's point al
this time. The committee recommend
ed the dredging out of Towards Pocket
to the fullest extent along the present
| harbor line

Denver, Aug. 4.-The Republican last
aight received the following from
Fruita, Colorado:
This evening at $50 o'clock James
Powell purchased IA 32-caliber revolver
Of Menefee & Brown and box OF car
tridges. Ills actions at the time were
regarded us suspicious by the dealer
shortly after purchasing the weapon
Miss Jennie Knox, with whom he had
been keeping company for some time,
and to whom he was reported to De en-
gagged after making some purchases,
accepted his invitation to ride hoiae
with him. He assisted her into the bug
Ry, and they started out Of town. In q
few minutes horsemun dashed INTO
town with the startling Information
that Powell had shot Miss Knox. The
town was at once thrown into the most
intense excitement. and large party
at once set out for the scene or the
tragedy. mile or more out OF town,
near Hildreths Lake, Miss Knox was
found dead and Mr.. Powell dying.
Eye witnesses to the AFFAIR state that
when q little way out OF town shot
was heard which caused everyone To
turn their attention toward the buggy.
the occupants OF which were seen to be
engaged In struggle for life. A sec
ond shot was fired and the girl fell on
her knees and begged piteously for
moment In which to explain. Miss
Bruner and friend were standing
close enough TO hear all that she said.
but the replies of the man to his vic
tim were inaudible.
Blood was squirting from wound In
lad -, I.,.. In hn hpnh
was deaf alike to her plea for mercy
and cries for help. The spectators
were frozen with horror. The buggy
continued its course. Miss Knox was
seen to leap from the buggy and run
down the road. gaining quite start on
her murderer who seemed undecided
as to his course.
Soon he leaped out and started In
pursuit. The lady undertook to get
through fence and he caught her and
holding her to the ground he fired a
bullet into her brain and ended her
life. The murderer then started to es-
cape. but the shots and the girls
screams had attracted men from all di-
rectiOns and seeing escape was impos-
sible. he fired bullet into his own
brain.
Miss Knox was to have been married
and her intended husband was to have
been here on the 10Th. Mr.. Powell and
the young lady had been schoolmates
and 1t Is reported that they We're at one
time engaged to be married. The fam
lily OF Miss Knox are among the old
timers here and are highly thought Of.
Mr.. Powell and his brother were
among the promising young men OF
this vicinity and not n breath has ever
tarnished their reputation. Both fami-
lies were nearly crazcd by the affair
Powelrs wound is probably fatal. and
that fact alone saved him from the rope
in the hands Of the murdered girls
friends.
