OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

On Friday evening Mr.. Cabanski,
agent for the Pacific Mutual, and Mr..
J. P. Coleman, of the Rio Grande
Western railway, went to a musicale
given at 237 West First South street.
About midnight they started out to
take some young ladies home and were
on their way back when. as they
reached a point at Sixth West and First
North streets, they noticed three men
standing on the sidewalk. The men
looked like suspicious characters and
had their hats pulled well down over
their eyes. AS Mr.. Coleman and Mr..
Sabinski passed them they suddenly
turned and ordered them to throw up
their hands. Instead of obeying the
young men broke and ran. Mr.. Ca
binski is said to be a good runner and
he soon left Mr.. Coleman far behind.
The latter saw that he was pursued by
the holdups so he suddenly stopped and
faced them. He had no gun, but point
ing his finger at the footpads he or
dered them to stop and cried if they
advanced a foot more he would shoot
them. 1t was very dark and the bluff
worked so that Mr. Coleman was able
to go about his business without mo-
lestatlon.

Quite crowd was attracted to c. S.
Martins commission house yesterday
afternoon by a struggle between a man
and officer Carey. The man, was taken
to the police station, where he gave
his name as McCOOk. 1t appears that
McCook went into Martins place and
seeing one of the employees asked him
to pay him the money he owed for the
work he had done. The surprised man
said he owed him no money and that
he had never been in his employ. Nc
Cook insisted that he had and said he
would whip him if ne did not pay. Just
then officer Carey came in and seeing
the disturbance put McCOok under ar
rest. McCOok, it seems, had been en-
ployed by a man named King and he
mistook one of Martins clerks for
King. When arrested, McCook resisted
the officer, but after a hard tussle he
was taken to the station. Here the
affair was explained and the mans
father came for him. He explained that
his son had been very i'll and he thought
that his mind was somewhat muddled
as "A result He was charged with dis
turbing the peace and allowed to go
upon putting up s. bail.

trouble was reported to be in progress.

ricks was found standing in front of
one of the houses crying and wringing
her hands. Asked what was the mat
ter she said that her husband had just
taken poison. He had said he was go
ing to kill himself because she was not
true to him and would not live with
him. She saw him drink the contents
Of small phial just before the wagon
reached the place and then he went up
