MURDERED BY ROBBERS.

thyst Electric Power Plant Burned.
Denver, Sept. "a special from
Creede last night to the Republican
says:
A hold-up and murder occurred here
last night at IL 80 o'clock near the cor
ner of Fourth and San Luis avenue.
Joe McCalfcrty and Webb Colby We're
going home at that hour when they
We're met by two men who told them to
hold up their hands.
McCafferty complied but Colby ran.
One robbcr took after the latter and
fired, striking him under the right
shoulder blade. the ball making its
exit near the nipple.
Colby died fifteen minutes later with
out uttering a word. The robber who
did the shooting became frightened
when his victim fell, and returned to
his companion, who had he'll McCaf-
ferty, and the two escaped.
About one hour after the murder n
fire alarm was given and 1t was found
that the Amethyst Electric Power and
Light Company's plant wns in flames.
1t was almost completely destroyed.
The loss is about $4,000. The Creole
Fire Department and citizens did no.
bic work, and soon had the flames un-
der control, saving most OF the machin-
cry and the residence portion. where
the manager. George r. Cooper. lived.
by $50 o'clock the fire was complete
ly extingulshed.
II Is believed that the fire was start
ed by the robbers, as there had been no
fire In the furnaces Of the plant since
Wednesday night, the plant not run
ming last night on account Of lack OF
water.
The citizens Of the place are much
enraged and steps Will be taken TO rid
the town OF the toughs and suspicious
characters that now infest the camp.
They have wired TO Canon City for
bloodhounds and will trail the murder
crs.
The holdups are described by McCaf-
ferty as being one tall. and light COM
plexion, and the other short and dark.
