Who It Was That Killed Harris, of
Denver-The Whole States
Shocked.

Colorado. Springs, Colo, Sept. o.
The cOroners jury in investigating the
killing of Charles J. Harris on the seiz
ure Of the opera house by anti-Tellel
Silver Republicans, Wednesday, re.
turned verdict that he came to his
death by shot fired by some unknown
person.
The verdict also says, I'VE further
find that number of men made ap un-
lawful attack on the opera house which
was in the lawful possession of a com
mittee appointed by the Silver Republic
an state convention, during which at
tack the doors were violently broken
open. We further find that all shots
fired from the inside of the opera house
were fired in an attempt by the commit
tee in possession to defend their legal
right to its occupancy. We also believe
that the deceased Charles j. Harris was
with the attacking party at the time he
was shot, but we have been unable to
determine who his companions were"

MEXICAN END OF THE STORY.
Gringoes Seem To Think That the Yanks
Have "A Lot OF Cheek.

Mexico City, Jan. 1.-Official intelli
gence received from Mazatlan shows
that when the Mexican gunboat FL
Democrata arrived at Clipperton ISL
and, which is thirty miles west of Aca-
pulco, II was found that a party OF
Americans had raised the American flag
and had coolly appropriated all the
guano beds where they were operating.
They built houses and permanently es-
tablished themselves. The Democrata
had very stormy passage and found
the island of very difficult access and
a boat load of Mexican marines was
upset in getting through the surf. the
men losing their rifles and swords.
They saved themselves by swimming
and a Mexican flag was carried ashore
by Julian Santos, the stoker of the gum
boat, who ran the risk of being de-
voured by sharks that abound in those
waters.
Captain Genesta ordered the Ameri-
can flag hauled down and the Mexican
flag was raised, there being little pro-
test on the part Of the Americans, rep
resenting q guano exploring company.
This formality having been accom-
plished, the gunboat returned to Mazat-
Ian. There are about 10000 tons of
guano on the island, valued at 5000, 900
in gold. Representations showing that
the action of the guano company Is
one of mere usurpation will be made.
Clipperton island is undoubtedly in
Mexican territory. although not settled
by Mexicans. There has been no ex-
element over the matter
