Boulder Mon
F0|0Iy Injured
WOMAN IN THE CASE.

Pete Farley. of Boulder, Shot in Quarrel
Over woman.
Pete Farley. butcher for w. w. Wolf,
of Boulder, was shot and dangerously
wounded in Denver last night by J. E.
Roberts. The tragedy was the result of
a quarrel over Nora Fox, the widow of
J. E. Fox, former Boulder miner.
Farley, 1t seems, was engaged to the
Fox woman but was thrown over by her
a couple of months ago. Roberts, the
man who did the shooting, was his sue
cessful rival and succeeded him in the
womans affections.
According to the woman's story, Far
ley went TO Denver on Christmas day
with the express purpose Of making
trouble with Roberts He found Roberts
in the woman's room, I84o Champa, and
a quarrel ensued in which he was him
self shot and seriously wounded. Rob-
erts escaped from the place but was af
terwards arrested A physician was
summoned by other roomers in the house
and the wounded man removed to the
county hospital. The doctors were un.
able to determine whether or not he will
die.
W. w. Wolf, Farley's employer here,
received telephone despatch telling of
the tragedy shortly after the occurrence
last evening.
1t was stated that Farley was nephew
of Chief of Police Farley of Denver, but
the latter denies the relationship

Adjutant General Barnum Discusses Ac-
ton Regarding Bouider's Militia.
81 shall investigate the affair, and shall
take summary action if | fnd that the
circumstances warrant it" AoJutant
General Barnum of the Colorado Nation
al guard was discussing last evening the
affair that occurred in Boulder Saturday
night, when a squad of men under ser
geant searched ball room 70 locate, if
possible, member of the company who
had failed to report tor drill.
For the past two days | have been
absent on business" he continued, ad
dressing a News reporter, and as con-
sequence am uninformed regarding the
particulars in the case except as to what
read in the papers. However. the
matter must be sfted to the bottom. and
the guilty parties punished unless sat.
lsfactorv excuse is offered. Probably
when | reach my office in the morning
I will find correspondence relating &c
the affair which may throw some light
upon it."
AS to just what was meant by ''investl'
CATION" and summary action" the ad
iutant general would not commit himself
but to anyone who is familiar with mill
tary affairs it would seem to indicate
something in the nature of court mar.
tial.
The remarks of the chief active Officer
of the guard would tend to show that he
is inclined to reprimand the officers o.
the Boulder company for using force ir
an attempt to discover the whereabout.
of the absent private. In time of wal
such tactics are, perforce, allowable, Du
in time of peace, according to the gen
eral impression, it is unwarranted.-Den

Bryan Thinks Silver Sentiment Stronger
Than In 1896.
Chicago, Dec. 27-Colonel William J.
Bryan was in Chicago few hours. He
met Ex-Governor Altgeld and also had a
short conference with Mayor Harrison.
In an interview he stated that his visit
had no political significance and that he
knew nothing Of the local fight in the
Democratic ranks.
He would not be interviewed on the
presidents expansion policy or the i'm
perialistlc doctrine as he termed it, as he
remarked that he had said enough for
the people to know where he stood on
the question.
Regarding the fears that the expansion
question would be dominant 20 the ex
clusion of the silver question he said
that issues cannot be moved as easily as
might be wished. AS issues arise they
must be met, as they involve the future
of the government.
Mr.. Bryan said that he believed the
silver sentiment to be stronger than in
1896, and he denied the Republicans
claim of a gold bug majority in the SEN
ate for six years. The silver men will be
able to ge: majority in 1900. He said
that he had called on Carnegie in New
York and had discussed expansion for a
few moments.

Triumph of Our Locomotives.

The placing of an order for twenty
freight locomotives with two well known
American firms by the Great Midland
Railway, OF England, one of the bigges,
railway corporations IN the world, comes
as capstone to the achievements OF
American manufacturers during 1893. All
the world but England had recognized
the fine points of the American locomo
tive, and now England bows to our skill
and ingenuity in this line. A variety oi
circumstances has brought about this
happy consummation-vlz.: the condl
ton OF the English building trade, the IN
creasing friendliness between England
and the United States, and lastly, anc
perhaps moie than anything else, the en-
viable reputation for merit which oul
locomotives have made in every quarter
of the globe. This order, half of which
comes to Philadelphia, is but the begin
ming, we believe. Our locomotives have
never been used anywhere without the
creation of a demand for more OF the
same kind, and with the types which we
shall send them in filing the first orde>
IN successful operation, there can be i;tt!'
doubt that the American locomotive will
so fix itself in the favor of British rail
road officials that further orders will b'
forthcoming in due time.-Philadelphi;

DR.. NOTMAN'S SUCCESS.

A Splendid New Pipe Organ Secured for
the Presbyterian Church.
The Scotch are said to be clannish, and
it seems as if this saving were true. DR..
Notman's Scotch descent has helped to
secure a pipe organ for the Presbyterian
church, and Mr.. Andrew Carnegie is to
be the donor. The organ is to be put in
at once, and it is to be adapted in every
way to the church.f Exactly how this
came about is not stated, but it is detin-
telv known that the result of DR.. NOT
mans recent visit to New York is pipe
organ for Boulder. The church and the
town are to be congratulated

of the Union Gospel Mission in discon-
tinung the service of Mr. c. E. Will
state that the directors action was
based ON the fact that after thirty
days trial of Mr. Wilson, they unani-

and no attention was paid to the diff
