CRIPPLE CREEK MAD.
Wagonload After Wagonload Of Un-
delivered Mail Ordered Burned

Denver, May ga special dispatch
to the Times from Cripple Creek. Colo,
says:
Wagon load after wagon load of mail
matter was taken from Cripple Creek
postofHce yesterday afternoon to the
city dump. where an attempt was made
by the postmaster's assistants to burn
it, What was not consumed was cover
ed with offal When it became known to
the public that a wholesale destruction
of mails was going on, many citizens
went out to the dump and saved some
of their mail In nearly every instance
the mail thrown away was plainly ad-
dressed, the box number appearing in
full view. Mail was there for some Of
the most prominent citizens Of the
camp.
One Of the worst features of the affair
is the fact that mail addressed to other
places was destroyed
When Postmaster Rose was called up
on for an explanation he said the IlIrn-
ing was done on authority of the post
office inspector
The postmaster acknowledged that
some mail was destroyed which ought
not to have been. Reputable citizens
say that they pay into the pOstoh1ce at
certain intervals a stipulated sum of
money for the privilege of receiving
mail in advance of other people, who do
not pay extra An Official Investigation
will be asked for.

Death From Maliciousness.

St Joseph. May 23--Fifty persons
were poisoned at Oketo. kan. last
night at Wedding. lit was thought
at first to be due to the ice cream eaten
by the guests, but an investigation be-
gan today shows that not only the
cream. but the food was doctored-
While all the victims are believed to be
out Of danger there is great excite
ment in the town.
The poisoning took place at the
wedding of Prof Il. A. Shephardson
and Miss Gertrude T. Chapman. About
so guests were present. composed Of
the best people of the place and neigh
boring counties. After the ceremony a.
feast was spread of which all partoolz
Shortly afterwards nearly the entire
party was taken sick.
Physicians were called in from ad-
joining town and worked hard al
night. but were only able to relieve the
worst cases for want of time An an
alysis of the cream and food was made
today. but at a late hour last night the
authorities refuse to give out the re-
suit. or disclose where the cream and
food was bought While there are sus-
picions of foul play those interested re
fuse to talk Developments are prom
