A special of eight coaches, after walt
ing for the second section, with COM
panies from Greeley, Boulder and
Longmont, also long line of freight
cars loaded with provisions, horses
and ammunition, pulled into Leadville

pitch camp on the old base ball grounds
near the depot, which has space suffi-
Gent to hold several thousand men.
The movements of the militia are being
sullenly watched by groups of strikers.

EDISON KEITH SUICIDES.


CHICAGO, ILL.,, September % -
Edison Keith, head of the great millin-
cry firm of Edison Keith & Co., the
largest in the United States, committed
suicide by jumping in the lake at the
foot OF Thirteenth street, last night,
but the fact was not made
known until late this morning.
He was seen to jump from the pier of
the Illinois Central railroad, but his
identity was then unknown. Two
crews are dragging the lake for bis
body, but without success.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, September 22 -
Later reports show that Keith took his
life Sunday night or early Monday
morning. When Mrs. Keith tried to
open the door of his apartment, Mon
day morning, she found it locked. She
summoned her son, who found that his
father had occupied the bed, but was
missing. Believing that mental trou-
bles had overcome him, the police were
notified and spent all day yesterday In
a frultless endeavor to locate the miss
ing man. This morning information
was received that hat and coat had
been found near the breakwater at the
mouth of Weldon slip. These were
identified as having belonged to Mr..
Keith, and convinced the searchers of
bis suicide, doubtless while temporarily
insane. Physical ill-heaIth and fear OF
possible troubles to result from the
coming presidential election are the
causes assigned for Mr.. Keith's break
down. His financial affairs are said to
be In the best shape. Mr.. Keith was
in many great enterprises
and was considered one of the largest
capitalists in the west.

The people IN 'he vicinity OF Mansfield,

what appears 10 lie the gradual sinking Of
the earth IN certain localities. II has
been a littls more than a year ago since a
whole field fell an average OF Il little more
than two feet. Within the last two weeks
the ground has become very dry rom
want of moisture, and as a result. crew
ices, some Of which are a foot wide, have
appeared in the earth. In Douglas
County there is a very noticeable depres-
sion OF several inches covering more than
a section OF land.
Another evidence of this inexplicable
phenomena occurred in Texas County a

of the earth swallowed up a horse while
Ajtched to a plow, and II was with diff

REDS BAR NEGROES.
Blacks Can No Longer share III
Tribal Relations of the Creeks.

The final decree has been promulgated
from Okmulga, the capital OF the Creek
nation, as It has been handed down by
Judge Adams, chief justice OF the su-
prelne court of the nation, in the citZen-
ship case. 1t strikes from the roll OF clti-
zenship OF the nation the names Of over
100 negroes. The decision held that the
action of the Indian council after tie pas
sage of the emancipation act by the
United States, in admitting negroes TO
tribal relations was unconstitutional. aud
therefore is at this time invalid. Since
the passage OF the act these negroes have
drawn in annujt!es 81 .009, 900 from the
Creek Government, have held positions Of
official trust and improved farms and edu-
Gated children at the nations expense for
twenty years. From tie decision of the
court there is no appeal. The Interior
Department has held the same opinion IN
a similar case. The Dawes commission,
which has been appea.ei to by the de-
posed negroes, claims ii has no right 10
interfere with the deciSi on Of the Indian
court.
