HELD UP SMITHS
SALOON LAST NIGHT
Re5bed the Cash Register and
the Bartender
TWO MASKED MEN GOT $50

A few sleepy men were sitting
or lying around in Smith & Duffy's
saloon, on the corner of Union and
Railroad streets, opposite the Den
yer and Rio Grande depot, at ,
o'clock this morning.
Bill Davidson, the bartender,
was the only person ON duty. He
was reclining on billiard table.
A colored man named Frank Riv-
ers was talking to him.
The door opened and tall man
with white handkerchief over his
face and revolver in his hand
stepped in. He walked to the
center of the room and remarked:
We'll, its all off. Hands upr'
The revolver seemed to point at
everyone in the crowd. The hands
went up. Frank Rivers was little
slow in putting up his and he was
sharply admonished. Davidson
told the robber that the fellows
asleep in the chairs were only
buns and the hold-ui3 seemed to
agree with him and didn't disturb
them.
Another man came in the saloon
when the hands were in the air.
He stepped behind the bar, rang
up twenty cents and took what
money there was in-the cash regis
ter. The drawer yielded sack
with $40 in it. Then he turned
his attention to Davidson and re-
lieved him of 81 and his watch,
missing $40 in bills. Frank Rivers
had only 81 and he pleaded to be
allowed to retain it but the robb.r
made him hand it over.
The second man, who also wore
an ordinary white handkerchief
over his face, walked out of the
saloon with about $50 booty in all.
Then the other fellow backed out,
keeping his gun laveled and warn
ing the victims that an attempt to
follow him would result in the
blowing off of their heads. He got
away without trouble.
The men are described as about
six feet tall. One was well dressed.
in black clothing, with black
Fedora hat. He had black hair
and grey eyes, according to Frank
Rivers. The other fellow was light
haired and squarely built. They
seemed between 25 and 80 years
old.
There is apparently no clue to
either of them. A man who has
been loafing around for several
days was arrested this afternoon
on suspicion.

STORY ABOUT THE MESSAGE
Have Two Versions Been Prepared
Congress rlay Act Anyhow

New York. April According
to Washington despatch in the
Evening Sun, the President is
having two messages prepared for
him, one that embraces the rea-
sons for war, by the Attor-
ney General. The other is being
written by Assistant Secretary of
State Day and it pleads for peace.
With both before him, it is said
the President is to choose the bet
ter of them.
This gives rise to rumor that
he will appeal TO Congress to give
Spain SO many days in which to
restore peace in Cuba.
Should he do this the war
party is likely to act on its own
account in accordance with popu-
lar clamor. By its members in
Congress the destruction of the
Maine is believed to be sufficient
casus belli.

Washington, April 4--Despite
the peace talk caused by the an
nouncement that Pope Leo will
act as mediator between the United
States and Spain, there is a
strong current of feeling in official
circles that such settlement will
not be satisfactory to the numer-
Gus members of the war party in
the Senate and House. The latter
1t Is asserted will take the entire
matter out of the hands of the adj
ministration and proceed to act
promptly.

A WORD To TIE WISE
Review of the Question to be De-
cided By the Voters

Tomorrow. to the cool, calm
Judgment of the people of Flor
ence, will be submitted the ques-
ton at issue in the present elec-
ton.
The Peoples ticket has adhered
to one vital issue-the welfare of
Florence firmly believing: First,
make Florence 90. Then the very
best Of every thing possible, and as
fast as it can be done, This issue
has been completely ignored and
dodged by the opposition, and a
course of vile personal abuse, be-
meath the regard of any decent
community, has been pursued to
the disgust of every right minded
person in town.
Loud boast of what the Union
candidates will do if elected has
been rung in the ears of every one
until the public is very tired. 1t
is one thing to talk for cause,
and a very different thing to uorL-
for it. If these would-be reform
ers" are sincere, why have they
not done something in the last ten
years for Florence?
On and for the Peoples ticket,
are found those who have made
Florence, and are determined that
it shall not be ruined by incompo-
tence. You, good people of Flor
ence, are TO decide between takers
and workers, between men that
have the welfare of Florence at
heart, and those that want control
for what there is in it, with
malice towards none, and charity
for all'-vote for the right, as you
are given to- see the right.

Carmi, His, April "A scene OF
devastation is presented today
where the prosperous village of
Shawneeville and its 1000 people
existed yesterday.
Not a vestige of the town re-
mains. AT least $50 people must
have been caught by the food and
many bodies will never be recov-
cred. Hundreds who caught to
trees and other objects that with
stood the rushing flood gradually
relaxed their hold and dropped off
towards morning.
The wave of water was 20 feet
high as it came from the levee.
Most of the people were at supper,
and before they knew of their
danger, their houses were either
falling upon them or aAoat.
AS the houses were swept from
their foundations one caught fire,
and soon others ignited from it.
The poor wretches clinging to the
burning roofs one by one dropped
off into the flood and drowned in
preference to cremation.
All valley lands are flooded and
cut off from communication The
action of the water as il. struck the
outlying houses is described as
like that of a cyclone.
Aid has been asked and sur
rounding towns have responded
rapidly. The survivors are taken
to places of shelter as quickly as
the limited means of transporta-
ton will allow.
Mayor Bencke, of Shawneeville
has telegraphed to Washington
for government aid.
