Cendiary RunorS.

CRIPPLE CREEK, May 1.-The
town is perfectly quiet tonight, not
withstanding the turbulent day. Since
the sun went down last night. the air
has been filled with all sorts of rlImors
of shootings and lynching and at
tempted arson, but none of them have
proved true. The report that two bod
les would be found in the ruins of the
Portland was stopped by the presence
in the flesh of the supposed dead peo-
pie.
During the day relief was furnished
in the shape of provisions and tents
from Denver, Pueblo and Colorado
Springs and Invitations. were extended
to the homeless from the citizens of all
the towns in Cripple Greek district.
There will be no great suffering.
Railroads have offered free trans
portation ITO all who cannot purchase
tickets. Relief headquarters have
been established and hundreds were
cared for.
Insurance agents are in session and
are endeavoring ito make as early a
settlement as possible.
In a general way the ground within
the fire limits does not present even a
decent ruin. The fire swept every
timing before it just as If a flaming
broom had passed over the district.
The fire moved in a general northern
direction, spreading out eastward and
westward under the impulse of a ter
rifle wind.
The Masonic temple, postof11ce and a
few other scattering business struc-
lures remain. No yestige is recog-
nizable of furniture or fixtures, iron or
glass, everything having been melted
away.
As the day advanced thousands of
people who sought shelter in the neigh
boring district focked back ito the
scene of their Losses. Women and chill
dren came with husbands and fathers,
but in most instances were turned
back. Snoldering heaps of debris
were constantly burning into flame
and famed by the rising wind. Twenty
acres of ashes are not very easy han
died when the wind gets into them.

Landlord.

DENVER, May benjamin Bower
of this city, who is president and man
ager of the Portland Hotel company,
indignantly repudiates the insinuation
of Mr.. T. J. Moynalhan, owner of the

to Insurance Commissioner Walpole
that the furniture was worth only
$1,000 and that Mr.. Brewer had the
half of lit which he owned insured for
$4,000. Mr.. Brewer says the furniture
cost $1,000 and was insured for only

AMONG FARMERS.

Saturday last was a big day for wheat
IN the Chicago market. 1t began to
climb and reached IS cents. England
Germany and London were among the
buyers. There is every prospect of
further advance and IN any event the
market will continue good. Armour
bought wheat for May delivery, thus
showing his faith Ia continued good
prices. The sales of last Saturday have
added millions to the wealth of the Unit
ed States and the money comes from
abroad. One good feature of the advance
Is that other agricultural products are
sure to follow, particularly rye and corn,
No wheat will be exported from India
this year. In fact that country must i'm
port wheat The Argentine crop is a
failure and thus the two great competit-
ors of the United States are out of the
field. England and the other European
countries which import wheat allowed
their stocks to run down IN the belief
that wheat would be as plentiful as ever.
When wheat famine was reported from
India they perceived the necessity Of
making immediate and heavy purchases

this fall.
Not as much fall grain as usual has
been sOwn in this county this fall.
The farmer who has not heard polite
al speech in this county this fall has rea-
son To congratulate himself.
A singular feature of present advance
In the price Of wheat IS that SPECTATORS
have made but little money out of 1t.
Reports Of shortage have come before but
proved to be without foundation. Specu-
lators feared similar outcome this
month and kept their lands off in large
measure. The advance has come solely
from demand.
During Monday wheat took another
