balance of Mr.. Nobles' repertoire. That
he believes it is among the strongest of

THE M'coY LABoRERs.
3 hey Besuesed Judge Davis Court This
MurnIag.

\ The trial of G. H. Mccoy for obtain
dng money under false pretenses was to
have occurred this morning before Justice
Davis court. An effort was made by
Mr.. Davis to have the trial take place in
the County court room, as a means of
precaution to Mr.. Mccoy, W hoseper sonal
safety, the Justice considered, was in
danger, but he was unsuccessful. All
the morning these laborers, to the num-
Der of so to 60, thronged the sidewalk in
ontof the JUSTICES Office. waiting to
confront Mccoy, who was expected to
arrive under the custody of the sheriff at
10 o'clock. The hour came and passed, /,
but the defendant failed to appear, and
soon word came that he was trying to
effect settlement through his attorneys,
Dufur & Menefee, and that no trial
might occur. The man seemed to look
to Mr.. Erickson, the contractor, as their
leader and consellor, and his attitude
was eagerly scrutinized when the news
came. The men were determined that
them if it was possible for them to pre-
vent it. Mr.. Erickson was assured that
Mccoy would remain in custodyuntil the
trial took place or Il settlement made and
the men were satisfied.
Mr.. w. c. Graves volunteered the fol-
lowing info nation concerning the situ-
alton. He has been time keeper since
the 2lst of March. On the 10Th of May
Mccoy came to him and asked him to
maze out the pay roll till June 1st, cay
ing he was anxious to pay the men up
to that date, and explaining that the
ditch had bad names and he wanted
to remedy its reputation. Graves did
SO, and after the pay roll was in the
hands of Mccoy about three hours he
came back with a request to make the
time up to May 25th. This was also
done, and the ti.ne checks made out anG
furnished the laborers. McCoy's next
step was to gather u these time checks
giving them due bills in return. Graves
states that the object of this was to pre-.
vent the men from having a lawful lier
on the ditch, and that In case the du,
bills proved worthless the men had NJ
recourse. To accom- plish this eve still
quote Mr.. Graves) McCo. used every en-
deavor- to assure the men that he wa
anxious to pay them their money; h
had tile money and could get it at
half hours notice; he was getting oil,
and had but few more years to liv
and he had no desire to swindle anyone
He therefore arranged to 20 for tn
money, and that Erickson and Ander
SOD should meet him at Wapinitia witt
a wagon on the 25th of May, when h
would be there to meet them with tn
money. The wagon was there on tha
date, but Mccoy was not there, an
soon after steps were taken which lie
to his arrest in Portland.
As an evidence that McCoy's inter
tions were mot honorable, Mr.. Grave
states that on the 23d of March McCo

A C'hild,s Health

depends almost wholly on the mothers,
not only before its birth but after
wards. A sick mother can't properly
care for her child's health. A sick
mother sometimes bears a healthy
child, but it isn't to be expected.
Maybe the baby will possess the ap-
pearance of health, but win lack
stamina. Maybe innate weakness will
develop in after years. Every woman
should be particularly careful of her
health during the period of CESSATION
when the child is really part of her
self. During all this time. she should
keep her body strong and pure and she
should take proper precautions against
her time of labor. For this purpose DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is pre-
scribed. 1t has been used in thousands
of cases, with the most gratifying re-
suits. 1t is a tonic to the whole body,
but particularly to the organs distinctly
feminine. 1t so prepares the system
for childbirth, as to render it almost
painless. 1t cures all female troubles
and promotes regularity

ENORMOUS ENGINE.
Much Interest Taken in "A Monster
Rio Grande Iron Horse.

Much Interest Taken in "A Monster
Rio Grande Iron Horse.
When the Salt Lake express of the
Denver & Rio Grande pulled into the
Union station on time last night,
crowd of railway employees and sew
eral officials gathered around the loco
motive to critically examine it and
learn what experiences the engineer
and fireman had enjoyed on their trip.
Interest in this particular locomotive
was due to the fact that it is a big
one built expressly for speed and power.
Yesterday it pulled its first passenger
train, taking the morning express down
to Pueblo in the morning and return
ing with the overland express in the
evening. The locomotive behaved very
properly on both runs and came in at
night in very comfortable humor
with itself. Mart Monroe'S eyes twinkled
when he climbed down out of the
Gao at the end of his double run ITS
just like play to pull trains with her"
was his remark. and then he went into
particulars for the edification of the
interested spectators
The locomotive certainly impresses
the spectator when he stands by it's
side. The tender is as big and nearly
as high as an ordinary express car and
when filled with water and coal weighs
$4,000 pounds, the engine weighing 49,
GOO pounds. The driving wheels are 60
inches in diameter In general con-
struction the locomotive differs from
the regular modern engines on the Den
yer & Rio Grande only in size, no new
devices or novel mechanism being no
ticeable. The piston rod extends beyond
the piston head. through the cylinder
head into a small cylinder lined with
packing rings. This keeps the piston
head perfectly true in the cylinder and
is the only change in construction that
would attract the attention of a casual
inspection.
There is now no doubt about it be-
coming a record breaker, both as to
speed and power. 1t was run carefully
yesterday, but no time was lost on
what are called fast runs. Leaving the
station in the morning with ten coaches,
one was dropped off at Burnham for
lack of passengers to fill it, and the
six minutes thus lost were made up
when Palmer Lake was reached The
big machine took the nine loaded cars
along as easily as need be. etarting
quickly out of stations and maintain
ing an average speed of 35 miles an
hour up the ascent to the top of the
divide. Dropping down on the other
side it slipped over the new rails with
out fretting, making some of the miles
in 20 seconds each which was fast
time for new machine.
1t was like play to handle train of
seven cars on the return trip and from
Palmer Lake to Denver the locomotive
rode as easy as cradle while spinning
off the miles When thoroughly broken
in, the locomotive will handle ten
loaded coaches easily and will take a
regular gait of mile minute-Den-

THERE is NO MISTAKE

When the supply comes in the way
shown. The spinner surely gets all new
wool and no shoddy Just so, there's no
mistake about our suits, for they're
all of new wool and no shoddy. For
that reason there's all the wear in them
that a wool fabric can give. Our fall
suits are kodak pictures of fashion, and
are perfect in style and first-class in
workmanship and finish. We can fit
you as well as any tailor at much
lower price. The difference between
the cost of our suits and those of the
tailor represents the amount thrown
away by those who fail to take advan-
tage of our clothing opportunities. Our
Furnishing and Hat Departments are
complete to give Style and Neatness.
