SOME OF HAYKEN'S FICTION.
The first was without date and ran
as follows:
Agreeable to your advice, have ar
ranged for a 'serieS of articles in Her
aid" and inclosed send you a clipping
of today's paper. There will be some
spicy editorials in the next issue.
The Argus will follow in the same line,
perhaps Tribune About the way
arranged. another letter will contain
explanation. The sentiments Of the
people, in general, is decidedly against
the Lexowers. 1 have failed to hear
anything from you, or have received
the promised and muchly desired rec
ords, which I regret exceedingly, for
it would have enabled me to make

MYSTERIOUS TELEGRAMs.
1 have received two kilograms from
s. L. today, one from JOS. R. Morris,
saying: Answer any telegram that
you may receive that you will come
here when so directed by Dey. An
other from there signed Oh. c. Dey
saving: ''Whitmore wants to know
when it will be convenient for you to
be here?'' In view of Dey's message,
which 1 sent you On Sunday from
Denver am rather of the opinion the
last one sent today is 'spuriousD-a
feeler, and l wired as advised by JOS.
r. NJ Will come whenever direct or
ders from you consider it necessary,
and wrote letter to Dey for better in
formation. I am almost sorry l can't
have my hand in when Weary testi-
fed!

BELLICOSE INTENTIONS.
The next effusion was dated Denver
June Is, 1895, as follows:
Fred A Holbrook, General Manager:

TO postpone, since 1 would have wiped
the floor with him right then and there,

have smelled my intention, for he then
and afterwards sneaked away at sight of
me, and l failed to get at him. He called
at Capitol inspecting goods, saw First
