second hand building materials, and must
be removed by April -. when work on
the new building will begin
Some historical interest attaches to the
sale from the fact that the buildings stood
on the site OF the old Manhattan Water
works. of which Aaron Burr was the
head. early in the century.
A parcel with six feet front. which was
not sold for lack OF bidders, was the east

frame dwelling with old-fashioned dormer
windows. in which Aaron Burr lived. A.

TERRIBLE MURDER
IN A TEXAS TOWN
An Old Man Burned to Death by
His Nephew
LyNcHING IS THREATENED

Houstpn, Texas, Sept. 2S.-The
murder of Otto Harness, for which
his wife and nephew are now in
jail, proves to be one of the most
fiendish deeds ever perpetrated in
the state.
Julius Harmes, the nephew who
has confessed to the murder, said
it was esteemed necessary to get
the old man out of the way, and
that in the evening he secured an
ak and concealed himself in the
attic. During the night, when the
elder Harmes was fast asleep, Ju-
lius went to his bedside and struck
him on the head with the ak. Sup
posing the old man to be dead, he
carried the body out into a corn
field where he burrieo.it under a
pile of rubbish, to which he set
fire and went back to the house.
In the morning when Julius re-
turned to the cornfeld he found
that the fire had gone out and that
his uncle was still alive. The
young man then, to complete his
dastardly work, relighted the fire
and with diabolical composure
watched it burn, stirring and pill
ing up the fragments until only a
smouldering mass of bones re-
manned.
There is a strong sentiment in
favor Of lynching.

COLORADO VOLUNTEERS

Thanksgiving Dinner for Colorado
Soldiers In the Field
GOVERNMENT SENDS 1T FREE

DeHNeF, SOiO.i tOtpt. lO-I ue
above organization has been
formed for the purpose of looking
after the comfort and welfare of
our soldier boys now in the field.
To that end an arrangement has
been completed with the Quarter
masters department of the United
States Army whereby the Govern
ment has generously offered to
transport free to Manila any
boxes of luxuries that friends and
relatives may desire to send to the
First Colorado Volunteers, so
that they will arrive there on or
about Thanksgiving Day, under
the conditions and specifications
hereinafter named.
Each person may send box
not larger than Is inches in
length, IL inches in width, and 10
inches in depth. These exact
dimensions should be followed
when possible for convenience in
packing. Boxes should be made
preferably of tin for protection
against damage on the ocean 10Y
age, though where tin boxes can
not be obtained, wooden ones will
not be Objectionable. Pasteboard
boxes will not be accepted under
any circumstances.
These boxes should be shipped
by express, charges prepaid, ad-
dressed to the Colorado Volun-
tesrs' Relatives Union, Denver,
Colo, each box bearing, plainly
marked, the name and company
Of the soldier for whom it is in
tended and also the name of the
sender. The committee will pre-
pare and re-pack these smaller
boxes in large and secure cases for
shipment,-hence the necessity
for uniformity in size of the boxes.
Persons in the city will send their
boxes to the Armory on Glenarm
street.
OF course, persons are permitted
to enclose in the boxes what they
choose. 1t is suggested, however,
that, owing to the distance, change
of climate and length of time oc-
cupied in shipment, care should
be taken that nothing whatever
be sent of a perishable nature.
OF edibles, fruit cake, plum pud-
ding, preserves, jellies or any can
ned goods may be sent, but no
fruit or cooked food of any
kind other than that named
above should be included, for the
reason that it would not only
spoil but would taint other articles
contained in the large packages.
Clothing and trinkets OF any kind
may be sent in safety.
These boxes should be shipped
SO as to arrive in Denver not
earlier than October 9th, nor later
than October 18th, as it is the in
tention now to make the shipment
from here on the latter date, and
anything arriving after the 18th
Is liable to be left behind.
The committee would gladly re-
ceive donations of boxes other
than those for designated individ-
uals, for the purpose of providing
for soldiers whose friends cannot
afford to send and whose relatives
cannot be reached, and it is the
earnest desire that no soldier in
the gallant First shall be omit
ted. We need at least 200 boxes
other than those sent by relatives,
to supply these. Let each one
who can, send an extra box un-
marked or get friends to do, and
the committee will see that they
are properly addressed to some
soldier who would not otherwise
get one.

MASS MEETING
Friends of Silver Listen to Emil
nenf Speakers
AT THE UNION OPERA HOUSE

Last night Union Hall put on
her best suit of red, white and blue
bunting to properly greet Colo
radios distinguished Senator, Hem
ry M. Teller, who was to appear
and address the people upon the
question of bimetalism.
At s o'clock the hall was crowd
ed to overhowing, and as the speak
ers of the evening were escorted to
the platform cheers arose from all
parts of the room.
Frank P. Warner called the
meeting to order, and at his sug-
gestion Hon. w. d. FELTON, of Can
on City was made chairman.
Mr.. FELTON, made a short address
in which he declared himself to be
Silver Republican, eulogized
Senator Teller, and strongly urged
a fusion of the silver forces in state
ploitics.
Hon. A. M. Stevenson, chairman
of the Silver Republican State
Central Committee, was then in
troduced, who talked briefly about
the work of the Silver Republicans
in Colorado, and warned the Silver
Republicans of Florence and Free
mont county against the danger of
their falling into the ranks of the
administration party. Mr.. Steven
son declared that Thomas would
be elected by a larger majority
than any other governor of Colo
RADIO ever received.
M. d. Campbell of Pueblo fol
lowed, declaring that he was a
Populist, but in the matter of po-
litical principles the silver issue
was paramount with him, and that
he was willing to lay aside his
populistic affiliations for minute
in order that the cause of silver
might be saved.
Mr.. Teller was next introduced,
and as he arose to address the au-
dience he was met with round OF
applause. The speaker was affiict-
ed with extreme hoarseness, but as
he warmed up to his suject his
voice grew clear and he spoke for
an hour ard half.
Mr.. Teller was bitter in his de-
nunciation of political methods
employed by Mckinley Hanna Re
publicans in the east, and said in
this connection: Il have obliga-
tions that I must discharge to the
satisfaction of my constituents,
and one of them is to see that the
rotten politics of Ohio shall not be
introduced into this state"
Mr. Teller said that he alone is
responsible for the removal of Mr..
Broad by Chairman Towne, and
that he wished to assume all re-
sponsibility in the matter The
speaker also referred to Mr.. Gug
genheim's candidacy, declaring
that gentleman to have no qualifi-
cations for the high office which
he seeks, and that he wo uld never
have been thought of, except for
his wealth. Mr.. Teller then said:
I'D rather vote for a beggar, if he
had true worth, than for the
richest man that ever lived if ,he
had no other qualification than his
wealth"
At the close of Mr.. Teller's
speech Mr.. Stevenson invited those
interested to remain for short
time and arrange for convention
to be held at Canon City on Sat
urday, Oct. /. Only few stayed,
and at the suggestion of Mr.
Stevenson the chairman, Mr.. Eel
ton, appointed a committee of ten
to make all necessary arrange
ments for such a convention to be
held jointly with the silver con-
vention called by the Democrats
and Populists, and to appoint
delegates from the different pre-
