port favorable to seating Mr.. Dupont

DENVER, April pa special to the
News from Cripple Creek, Colo, says:
The Cripple Creek district was visited
by the severest and most destructive
blizzard ever known today. An inn
mense amount of damage has been
done and in all probability some hives
have been lost in the hills, rumors to
that effect being in circulation, and
general fear is entertained for the pros
pectors. A light snow started in at III
O'Clock last night and about this
morning the storm renewed and the
velocity of the wind, which was from
the northeast, increased and contin-
ued to blow at the rate of sixty miles
an hour all day. A score of more of
buildings in this city were blown down
and tents, signs, and loose lumber were
scattered over town. All the telephone
wires out of The camp are down and
no trains arrived or departed this af-
ternoon.
At 1890 the Cripple Creek Commits
sion three-story building on Carr ave
nue. near the Midland depot, fell with
crash and it caught on fire from an
overturned stove, and was complete
ly destroyed. The building is isolated,
which prevented a general confiagra-
tion.
The Boston Cafe building ait Carr and
Second was partially wrecked.
A large rooming house on Warren
avenue, was blown down about noon
and several occupants were injured.
The city is in darkness, as all the
electric light wires are down. Com
munication is cut off with all outside
points, with the exception of one tele-
graph wire.
Many store fronbs have been blown
in and some of the business houses,
as well as residences, will need repair
ing.
Rumors of the loss of life in the out
lying districts are in general circula-
ton.
In the hills hundreds of prospectors
live in tents and the majority of them
were blown away
The damage to property throughout
the camp will not fall short of $500 00O
The 1:20 p. m. train over the Florence
& Cripple Greek road was stalled be-
tween here and Anaconda. ONE of the
suburban trains from Victor is stuck in
the snow at Eilqton.
On the Midland Terminal two pas
senger trains are blocloaded at GilIeln.
A dozen buildings or more were blown
down at Gillett, and a number at AIT
man, Gold Field and Victor. Shaft
houses and surface improvements an
over the district were badly damaged.

The Matabeles surrounded and attacked

enemy's line. They succeeded in cutting
their way out with a loss of five troopers
killed and sixteen wounded.
1t is estimated that 10 of the MatabeleS
were killed.
In response to Captain Brands mes

fears expressed of an attack by the en-

If you can penetrate a purse
And take" the coins within it resting;
If you can photograph ones bones
Inside the flesh that's them investing;
Forebodings must perforce arise,
Lest as your wondrous skill advances,
You may be able to expose
Views of our Utmost thoughts and fan

IT'S bad when rude "snap-shotters' take
Our features, all complaints deriding;
Twill be much worse when they can
snap
The motives which our breast is hiding
And when some new development
For, doubtless, you in time will score it
VIII make Our heart as visible
AS though upon our sleeve we wore it.
Should politicians then display
For cryptic speeches any leaning

Would soon elucidate their meaning.
