YOUNG SUICIDE NEAR BOULDER
Bcdy of Elmer K Kaugh Who Hat
 Taken Poison.

Boulder, Colo, Sept. 20.-Early this morning as F. M. Churchill, farmer living about one mile this side of Ni-wot, went out to hunt his horses, he found lying near an irrigating ditch the corpse or a young man. He i'm mediately sent word to Coroner Ire zise of Boulder, who answered the summons and investigated the cause of the death. He found the body ly- ing on its back with one knee drawn up. A short distance away on a log was a half empty box of rough on rats About fifty feet away lay the mans clothes. In these the coroner found two notes. On the first of them was scrawled in lead pencil the following:
 My name is Elmer M. Kaugh My home is in Missouri. I am 20 years old and have trouble that no one knows anything about, so I am better off dead. My fathers address is New land postoffice, Pettis county, Mis- souri,
 On another strip was written:
 This is my fathers address: Arch Kaugh, Newlands postofice, Pettis county, Missouri"
 The coroner says that from all ap- pearances the body must have been there at least two days. No one in that neighborhood had ever seen him before or knew anything about him. The remains were brought to Boulder and the father of the man notified by wire by the coroner

LOSING GROUND EVERY DA
General Lees Opinion of the Spanish
 in Cuba

Washington, Sept. 2O.-Consul-Gen- eral Fitzhugh Lee, in conversation with personal friends since his return, has repeatedly exp essed the opinio that the Spanish are losing ground every day in Cuba and that their chances of subjugating the revolution 1sts are more remote now than ever In his official Intercourse with the state department he has not ventured to suggest a policy for this govern ment to assume, holding that it would be improper for h.m to do so. In pri- vaite conversation, however, he is more free and dces not hesitate ito say he believes this government eventually will be obliged to interfere and put a stop to the barbarity now being prac- ticed on the island.
