Red and blue lights were burned outside Tn honor Of the guests and the jinks- room was splendidly decorated with flags ana bunting. Suspended from the wall were knapsacks and other military trap pings, giving the room martial appear ance.
 Everything was done to give the Col oradoans an enjoyable evening. Refresh ments, cigars, cigarettes and pipes were passed around, and as they smoked and drank they listened to sweet singing, cleVerly told yarns and instrumental music which made them for the time for get the dangers ahead of them and may be the loved ones at home

The railroad rented the privilege to outside parties with the proviso that the boys were to be charged 15 cents a day, or S4 50 a month.

 The pay car for the railroad employees arrived yesterday and the boys were pald or. The $4 50 for the meals during the month of June had to be paid in ad- vance.

COLONEL GUTHRIE's BLUNDER
He Ignored His Superior Officers in the National Guard and Will
 Be DiScip1ined

Should the Second Regiment of the Ma uonal Guard of California, composed of men In the Sacramento Valley, fail to be mustered into the United States serv- ice under the second call for troops, the failure may be charged to Colonel Guthrie. The story goes that Colonel Guthrie, ignoring his superior officer. the the State forces, rendered his regiment to the President through United States Sen ator Perkins. The unusual and unmili- tary request was at once transmitted to the Governor and Colonel Guthrie will certainly be called to account.
 The companies of the Second Regiment ought not to be punished because the colonel made blunder When the Gov ernor and adjutant general consider all the points involved it may be deemed ad- visable to create new regiment from or ganizations of the Second and Fifth Reg ments of the National Guard

MOODY KILLED.
Murdered in the Early Hours
Of the Morning.
W. W. Badger Arrested for the Aw'
full Crime.---A Woman in the
Case and Threats Figure.

This morning at about Ills II. NJ.
Moody, barkeeper at the Lewis.
town hotel bar and leader Of the
brass band, was shot in the back OF
h head and instantly killed.
Moody had a few moments before
stood with several friends In the Big
Tepee saloon, and going out by the
back door, started across the narrow
foot bridge over the creek, when the
shot vas fired from behind and he
fell into the stream.
Several heard the shot and ran to
the spot, recovering the body. Al
Bebb, who was with the remains OF
Robert Shaw in a small building on
Janeaux street. heard the shot and
saw the assailant flee south on JAN
faux street, Mr.. Bebb folio wing until
the pursued was lost in the darkness.
His belief is that the man was of me-
dunn size and dressed in a long, dark
cOlored macintosh and that he fled
further south on Janeaux street.
Shortly after, on complaint OF
County Attorney Smith, w. w.
Badger. manager of the Lewistown
Telephone Co., was arrested for the
crime and lodged in Jail. The evil
dence which led up to the arrest was
reported threats made by Badger,
the result of alleged undue intimacy
between Moody and Mrs. Badger.
Mr.. Badger was found in the tele-
phone Office, where he sleeps, and
when arrested neither acknowledged
OF denied the crime. A revolver was
found under the pillow, fully charged,
and having no appearance OF recent
use
The terrible affair made 4 deep i'm
preston on all citizens. Deceased
was well known. but bore a reputa-
ton of being morally wild.
Mr.. Badger came from White Sui
phur Springs last year. He is the
son of Judge Badger of the Springs
and a man of excellent reputation
and of responsible position, without
an enemy, SO far as known. Mrs.
Badger is q daughter of DIR. Hill, of
TIBET, and u young woman of much
personal charm. They have two
children.
