ilicted an ugly wound. The physicians,
however, say Tucker may recover
Abrams was lately the anti-railroad

suited.
Abrams immed lately surrendered.

A capital story is told of the way In
which New England senator was once
aroused TO make stirring speech. At
the outset of his political career he had
been known as n remarkably clever
''orator of the stump" and later on, in
the lower house of the legislature, he
made brilliant name for himself. But
when he became a senator he ceased
talking, much to the regret of his
friends and admirers. Finally the
liquor law came up for discussion, and
the wife of friend of the senator, who
was much interested in its passage, was
greatly disappointed to see that the
brilliant man had no apparent intention
of joining in the discussion. She sat
down and wrote a few words on sheet
of paper, which she inclosed in an en-
velope and sent by messenger to the
senator. do speak! Even Balaam's
ass spoke once!" This brought the SEN
ator to his feet, and ELECTED one of the
best speeches he ever made.-Youth's

With the death of John Bynum the
feud smoldcred for several years. His
only brother, led. who was absent al
the time of the lynching. moved 10
Texas a short time afterwards, and
there were left only the widow and her
four children on tho small farm In the
cove. Ii is TO he supposed that the
woman, who was n Bynum by blood as
well as by marriage, did not fail TO
teach her children the catechism of
vengeance; but, however this may he,
hostilities were renewed as soon as the
boys were old enough 10 follow i'm the
footsteps of their elders.
Col. Latimer. the squire's son and
heir, inherited little of the peace-loving
temper of his father. The first time he
found his fences thrown down and the
cattle in his fields. he armed himself
with a heavy riding whip and went
nbout nursing his wrath till his oppor-
tupity should arrive. Meeting JEFF
Bynum in the street of Tregarthen, the
indignant colonel proceeded 10 mete
out TO the younger man such measure
vi tnaAllSeineul as ne NnOnknt the case
demanded, paying for his satisfaction
a few days later with a broken arm,
shattered by the bullet of an ambushed
enemy. This incident was conducive
10 another interval of peace. for two
reasons-it taught the colonel that un-
less he were willing TO adopt the un-
scrupulous tactics of bis antagonists he
was likely 10 lose his life in an unequal
contest; and the Bynums were re-
strained from further immediate ag-
gressions by fear of some such conse-
quences as had overtalxen their father.
Col. Latimer was quite as popular in
lis way as had been the squire; and
there>ksi been ominous threats of an
other outburst of public indignation
after the breaRiRg, of the colopel's arm
threats which were loud enough 20
cause the elder Bynum TO disappear for
a time, rumor said in Texas.
The fire of enmity, however, was
never suffered 10 die. There were fit
full bursts of fame from time 10 time,

and fresh fuel was added when the
sleepy village Of Tregarthen awoke one
morning to find itself the headquarters
OF the Tregarthen Coal e. Iron CON-
peny. All Of the coal and iron land on
the mountain belonged originally TO
the Latimer estate, but the Bynums had
disputed with the colonel the owner
ship to one of the coal veins which
cropped out near the boundary of Nc
Nabb's cove. They were defeated in the
litigation that followed, and the old
feud lost none of its rancor by the de
cision of the courts. When its right TO
the McNabb vein had been established
the company had endeavored TO open il,
but the oycrhanging stratum of sand
stone proved to be singularly intracta-
able, and the further development of
the vein was postponed until such time
as the depth of the other workings
would make it less costly TO timber the
Nc Nabb tunnel. Opinions varied as
TO the cause of the difficulty in the
McNabb. Expert mining engineers
had declared that the sandstone form
ing the roof OF the tunnel was as
tenacious as that everything the other
veins, and that there was no apparent
reason why it should require timber
ing; but the indubitable fact remained.
While the work Of development was in
progress, the miners frequently found
the labor of a week undone in a single
night by a caving of the roof which
filed the tunnel with broken rock.
Ludlow had it's own theory about these
mysterious accidents, but he kept il to
himself. II was suggested by the smell
of black powder which he detected
one morning when he was examining
the debris that had fallen during the
previous night. 1t struck him as be-
ing curious, because he knew that the
miners were using dynamite; and it led
10 q series of casual inquiries among
the jewellers In Harmony Valley near
est to the entrance TO McNabb's Cove.
The replies were not entirely convinc-
ing, because the nocturnal noises heard
by the valley folk might have been
nothing more than the conclusion of
the falling rock; but Ludlow heard
enough to make him believe that when

lived here, her husband being engaged
In mining and was not at home at the
time. The Lougneeker family were
upstairs in their home when the flood
came. He saved all but one member Of
his family, little boy called Jake.
GoLbEN, July 2T.-Three bodies, all
that are known to have been lost in
Saturday nights flood in this city, have
been recovered. The dead are: A. A.

report That the track and roadbed is
about all gone between Golden and
Beaver Brook.
About seven o'clock Saturday night
threatening clouds came over the hill
from the direction OF Morrison. 1t had
been cloudy and foggy all day, and the
clouds gathered into ominous looking
masses. Rain fell in torrents from the
start, followed by hail, then a wall of
/
! In height came rushing down Clear
creek, carrying everything before
| it. The flood lasted about half
an hour, and was followed by a
| heavy rain. which continued until
about 10 o'clock. At that hour a body
of water, greater in volume than the
first flood, came down Tucker gulch,
emptying into clear creek. II was this
second flood that carried away tho
house of johnson and his wife and
which drowned Mrs. Edwards.
Two bridges have been washed out
and three piers of the Denver, Lake
wood and Golden bridge were knocked
out by the iron work of the Ford
street bridge.
The loss is estimated to be between
forty and fifty thousand dollars.
DENVER, Col, July 27.-The victims
of Friday nights flood were three in
Golden. four in Mt. Vernon canyon
and 81 near Morrison, making the total
2s. The servant girl, Anna Hansen,

scquently escaped. A charcoal burner

Sunday afternoon that he had four
bodies in the bed of Clear creek about
a mile above the town of Arvada-
The coroner at Golden was notified and
will take charge of the bodies.
Up to the discovery of these four
bodies, no report OF any missing per-
sons has come from Golden Arvada is

These bodies, therefore, either flOated
