Breckenridge. Colo, March 31.-This
morning, while bringing in the morning

1t appears that Smith had been sig

several hours at Boreas, and as the

After doing all he could to stop the

sion unavoidable, he jumped II on a
snow bank. which proved treacherous
and broke. throwing him under the
train. which ran over him, killing him
and dragging his body some distance.

to Breckenridge and put them in

takers, who will put them in a casket
and send them to Como tomorrow,
where Mrs. Smith resides.

A wEYLER
Five Cubans Garroted In a Very Bung-
ling Manner.

Havana, March 31.-Never in mod
ern times has there been a more sicken-
ing spectacle than that which today at
tended the public execution of five
Cubans. The men had been CONDEMNED
to death by the garrotte as "murderers,
violaters and incendiaries." Troops
were drawn up in the hollow square,
and in the middle were placed the
chair and post. Ruiz, the public exc
%cutioner, had deputized an assistant
to conduct the affair. The condemned
men having received the Offices of the
church we're brought into the square
to meet their fate. One of them had
confessed his guilt, and affirmed the in
nocence Of all the others, who also pro-
tested that they were guiltless.
The first man to die took his seat in
the chair calmly; the iron collar was
fixed about his neck and the cap drawn
over his face. Then the executioner
undertook to apply the screw. but was
SO excited that mis- hand slipped re-
peatedly, with the result that the VIC

The second execution was accom-
plfshed with even more distressing
awkwardness, the executioner being
almost on the verge Of collapse as he
performed his horrible function. The
protests of the officers and priests
forced Ruiz to undertake the third
execution. but he did little better than
his assistant had done. The fourth
victim Of the bungling g%arroters wa
likewise tortured and then Ruiz liter
ally fed from his post. leaving his as
sistants to put to death the fifth Of the
unfortunate Cubans. who escaped none
of the agonizing experiences that had
attended the execution of his fellows.
The whole affair left upon those who
witnessed fit a feeling of the utmost
horror.

Denver last night at 7:45 and due here

aDOu 3 o'clock this afternoon by a
burning bridge across the Navajo
river.
The outgoing passenger crossed the
bridge several hours before and sparks
must have fallen on the bridge, which
isnited the dry timber.
In coming this way, just before
reaching the bridge. the track circles
around a cliff. and when too late to
stop the train the engineer discovered
the bridge to be on fire.
In an instant he gave the danger
alarm by blowing the whistle and re-
versing the throttle and with the fire.

fore the engine struck the burning
bridge.
The timbers gave way and the en-
CINE went crashing to the river bottom.

fortunately the connection between
the mail and baggage cars was broken
and the latter car. along with the
coaches, were brought to a standstill
just before reaching the bridge. The
postal clerk in the mail car heard the
alarm in time to reach the door and by
jumping saved his life.
The mail car along with the wood
work of the locomotive at once took
fire, the water being shallow, and were
entirely consumed. including the let
ters and paper mail for Durango, Sill
verton, and other points in southern
Colorado and northern New Mexico.
In jumping, the fireman, engineer
and mail clerk escaped injury and in
this particular the wreck was a lucky
one.
A wrecking train left Durango i'm
mediately for the scene and is expected
to transfer the passengers and bring
them to Durango some time during the
night.

Or IL II oliver P~ike-Other Crimes OF
Day Reported From All Sec

Chicago, March 31.-The mysterious
body in a box has been positively iden-
titled as that of Prosper Chazal. the
Identification being made by a possible
phenomenon so rare in medical an
nails that the occurrence under present
Circumstances is looked upon by ply
sicians as almost a miracle. The phe-
nomenon referred to is the formation
OF a~dipocere. a corpse "a which has,
in this instance, formed in large guam
titles and partially preserved the body.
Under ordinary conditions it would
have been a formless mass of decay,
but it can be recognized by well known
marks as the body of Joanes Prosper
Chazal. murdered in Salt Lake three
years ago, it is claimed, by a man
known to the French population of
that city as Jules l.. Assassin. The
body was enclosed in a zinc box, placed
in a trunk and the trunk in turn, pack
ed in a dry goods case. being complete
ly surrounded by sawdust, which must
have absorbed any moisture which
came heal it. The case, with its con-
tents, after it arrived in Chicago, was
deposited in a dry and airy warehouse,
where it remained undisturbed for
three years. Nevertheless there is no
longer any % for much doubt as to
the manner in which Chazel met his
death. Henry Devere and Bias Marcel.
two of his Salt Lake friends, now in
this city, told this afternoon what they
believe is the whole story. According
to them Chazel was the victim of a
cold-blooded. deliberate plot to rob and
murder him. He was decoyed and MUIR
dered by Jules l.. Assassin and his mis-
tress. Jules was a Frenchman and
earned his title before he came to
America. He and his paramour disap-
peared shortly after Chazels disap-
pearance and the last heard of them
they were in Caracas, Venezuela. Cha
zal disappeared in February, 1893. He
left the house to go to the safety de-
post vault and get his diamonds.
These were quite valuable and he re-
marked as he ven out that he had I'M
expectedly learned of a purchaser, who
would pay him a good price for the
gems. He never returned. A friend of
Marriott was sent a few days ago, to Salt
lake and the safety deposit vault
where the diamonds were known to
have been kept was opened. The Jewels
were gone. Apparently the young
Frenchman had gone to the vault and
secured the diamonds, and went to the
address of the prospective purchaser.
He fell into the trap carefully laid and
was added to the victims of Jules As
sassin. When the fatal trunk was once
despatched, the murderer and his mis-
tress lost no time in fleeing from the
