THE sMUeaLER FIRE
Little Good Done by Attempts at Elk
tinguishments

DENVER, Col, Nov. ia special to
the Republican from Aspen, Col, says:
While 1t is generally conceded tonight
that there is but little danger of the
Smuggler fire spreading beyond the
large stope where 1t is now burning, the
indications that a lingering fire may ex-
tend into months is greater than since
the fire started Sunday morning. The
management is now confident that the
seat Of the trouble is located somewhere
between the seventh and eighth levels,
but just where they are unable to say.
The cribbing in this stope between these
two levels is 80 by 1874 feet and 10 feet
thick filled solid with waste.
All efforts to locate the fire have now
been abandoned and the fight Is carried
on in q general way between the sew
er1th and eighth levels with water from
above and steam from below. At 1880
both the steam and water were turned
or for n-examination. To all appear
ances no progress had been made. There
IL an increase Of smoke in the vapor,
which Is looked upon as an indication
that the fire has reached some of the
watersoaked timbers and is smoulderine
rather than burning. The gas issuing
from the shaft Is not SO dense,

ney and two miners had a narrow es-
cape from death while examining the
mine. All but two were overcome by the
gas while on the eighth level and were
with great difficulty saved from death

A TRAGIC EVENT
A Robbed Russian Countess Blows
Out Her Brains


EDINBURGH, Nov. 17.-Taere was
a tragic occurrence in a police station
here last evening. "A woman apparently
about 20 years of age and fashionably
dressed, but In the deepest mourning,
VINO said she was the Countess Teresa
Ufeld, Russian, adding that she had
come to Scotland fortnight ago via
Copenhagen, and that she was in
mourning for her dead lover, complained
to the police officer on duty that she had
been robbed Of her purse containing
large sum of money. The countess
was apparently in great distress and
as the officer turned round to enter her
complaint in the station blotter she shot
herself through the temple with re-
volver.
Only few shillings were found on her
person. At the examination of her room
all her correspondence had been torn up
In such small pieces as to render it al
most impossible to reconstruct 1t. She
had given her address as the cloister OF
st. Mary's Moscow. Two photographs
were found among her effects On was
that of young officer in the Russian
army and was signed Alexander Ro-
manoff." and is supposed to be that Of
the fiance. The other photograph was
that Of Spanish officer who had visited
the countess since her arrival in Edin-
burgh. The hotel people say the de-
ceased countess was well educated and
had evidently been accustomed to move
in the best society

Brazilian Troubles

+ NEW YORK, Nov. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,
says: The police, through confession
made to them, have learned that the plot
to Kill President Moraes is Of far greater
magnitude than was at first thought
AS a result of this confession many ar
rests have been made. The Brazilian
press demands that the government In
vestigate the distribution by the Italian
legation of the indemnity paid two years
ago as the result of the anti-Italian
riots in San Pablo.
Relations between Italy and Brazil are
daily becoming more complicated. The
legation insists upon the degradation of
the officials of Spirit Sancti, who are
accused of connivance in the recent
Italian outrage. The government has
SO far evaded a reply to this demand.

When Galloway called on Miss Efie

refused to do so on account of an old
grudge. When Galloway was at the
barn stabling his horse, Sims got gun
Miss Boring ran out to warn her lover
No sooner had she met Galloway than
Sims arrived and fired. and the young
man fell almost into Miss Boring's
arms.
Sims was followed many days before
he was captured and narrowly escaped
lynching twice. So great was the ex-
citement produced by the death of Gal
loway that Miss Boring was nervously
prostrated, and after several days OF
intense suffering she died.

Aublc, who searched the city for Love
in vain. The detectives believe that he
was not in the city at that time, but
that he had left and returned later.
Yesterday afternoon Randolph. a
colored policeman, was talkinElt6' an ac-
quaintance, whcdis a Pullman car porter,
when the latter remarked that he had
seen on the street man wanted at In
dianapolis for murder. He had met
Love in a city restaurant. The police
man Immediately came to the station
and inquired If Love was still wanted.
He was told that the man was badly
wanted. and the picture and description
which had been received were turned
over to him.
About o'clock officer Randolph found
the man he was looking for in the res
taurant at 119 San Pedro street. He en-
gagged him in conversation and became
convinced that he was not mistaken in
Loves identity. Then he quietly sent a
man out to telephone for the patrol
wagon, and when it arrived a few min
utes later placed Love under arrest. The
prisoner made no show of resisting the
officer but accompanied him peaceably
to the station.
going by the name OF Harry Brown
since his arrival here, proved positively
that he is the man wanted. The de-
scription received from Chief Colbert
stated that the initials r. L. and a star
would be found tatooed on the fugitive's
right forearm and an anchor similarly
tatooed on the left arm. These marks
were found exactly as described.
The prisoner was turned over to De-
tective Goodman, who questioned him
last night as to his antecedents. Love
was surly and refused to answer ques-
tions. He denied that he was wanted for
any crime in Indianapolis or that he had
ever been in the state of Indiana.
Love is mulatto and 20 years old. He
is feet 6 inches high, slender build and
weighs $50 pounds. Since his arrival in
Los Angeles he has been working in a

BALTIMORE, Nov. 17.-Otto zeiglel
OF California has written the following
letter. giving reasons for asking rein
statement III the League Of American
fWheelmen:
(, "First-The new league of this coast
10 far as I can Judge. Is about on its last
legs.
."Second-The prizes under the coast
league are so small that when a seasons

Of pocket in the racing game. To cite
an instance of this I will state that ]
went in the California Associated Cy-
cling clubs circuit this year at my own
expense and cleaned up on Mr.. Welch's
percentage scheme just $1.15 as a result
Of my efforts in three race meetings. in
which captured six flrsts and one Sec
ond, which In the east would have paid
me $3.50 at the very lowest. Again, the
eastern cycle manufacturers do not conf
mand the business on the coast that they
do In the east and therefore a racing
man cannot command q salary on this
coast, which he can in the east. 1t was
purely on the advice of an eastern firm
that I was induced to be again rein
stated in the League OF American Wheel
men. and they could not afford to pay
me salary for riding only in California,
the only place the California Associated
Cycling clubs has any jurisdiction. An
other thing, cycle racing is dead so to
speak, In California. Cycle tracks of the
finest kind are being torn up, as they
do not pay the owners. All this is on
account OF the eastern riders keeping
clea- of this new league. as 1t is against
the l.. A. w. rules to ride on Sunday and
th' California Associated Cycling clubs
Is only petty organization in opposi-
ttOn to the l.. A. w.
Let me say in conclusion that cycle
racing needs new faces to keep up the
enthusiasm of the public. The fact that
the eastern men will not winter out here
has put quietus on the sport realized
only few weeks after rode in the CAL
tfornia Associated Cycling clubs meets
that made mistake. Then only rode
to help the California Associated Cycling
clubs, as at that time 1 thought Of CIV
ing up racing. Why. when r. A. Nc
Farland and c. s. Wells saw the new
governing body was to take control in
California in opposition to the L. A. W.,
they Immediately left for the east pre-
ferring not to mix up with Welch and
others, who had deserted the L. A. w.
because the L. A. w. refused to sane
tion Sunday racing in California. I
would have done the same thing. but at
that time I thought, as said before,
that would end my racing career. In
what few races rode for the Califor-
mia Associated Cycling clubs, do so at
their urgent request. This year the east
ern riders will boycott California. Nc
Farland and Wells will return to the
coast, however. and some good racing
under l.. A. w. rules will be the result. Z"

Our bank is simply trustee for the

in the classes for harness horses varies

carriage horse class for light and heavy
weight animals have the same exhibit
