n smooth little Englishman whose
surname is Mum, worked everybody
he had a chance to talk TO in Leadville
from So to $50 by means of forged
| checks and false representations, and
then skipped the town before the po-
lice could lay hands on him. But he
could not pull the wool over the eyes
of the landlady in Colorado Springs as
easily as he did the gullible Leadville-
ties, and consequently he is behind the
! bars in the former place He made a
| great buster and demanded that the
| British consul at the Springs be noti-
! fed, claiming that he was a British
subject. but his remonStrances were in
vain. While under arrest at the sta
ton house, Mum tore up photo
graph also a number of letters. The
pieces of the photograph were picked
up by Captain Henry and pasted to-
gether and the likeness was recognized
as that of Lucille Camden, a young
woman well known in Leadville, Den
yer and Cripple Creek. The Camden
woman figured very extensively in po-
lice circles in Denver nearly two years
ago by her penchant for bicycles be-
longing to other people. The police
think they have man for whom they
have long been searching.
Directors of the Pageant of States
made contract for large display of
fireworks in connection with the re-
union. Everything gives the greatest
encoura cement to those in charge of
the project.
The railroad war between the Flor
ence & Cripple Creek and Midland Ter
minal has settled down into a peaceful
fight and the only evidence of a hostile
character is the presence of consta-
70 CHI

Terminal people served an injunction
on Chief Engineer Stewart of the Flor
ence & Cripple Creek. The whole mat
ter will be settled in court.

of the operatives. 1t is understood that
the demand made by the miners is for
an advance of 40 per cent. The opera
tors representative stated positively
that this demand would not be met.
Ralph Thompson, a youth of IS, left

employment in the Gold King boarding
house in Gold King basin. His body
was found in saw mill near the lat
ter place on Tuesday, bearing the
marks of a struggle. At the coroner's

distance below the saw mill, and it also

Articles of incorporation of the Pu-
eblo and Southwestern Railway Build
ing company were filed at Pueblo. The
company will construct railway to
Beulah, where are located the marble
quarries from which the marble and
onyx for the interior of the state cap
itol have been taken. The line is said
to have the financial backing of David
H Moffat of Denver, and will open up
an agricultural and mineral country of
not little richness. 1t will be of
standard gauge, some 80 miles in length
with a probability of an extension to
Florence and other coal fields of that
section.

test takes place at o'clock every af-
ternoOn, which causes the greatest mer-
riment among the spectators.
