Republicans.
Rush TO Capture the Hall Met
by a Volley From Those
in Possession.
Police Take Control and Find
a Complete Arsenal in
the Building.
Tragedy Followed Removal OF
State Chairman Broad for
"Disloyalty."

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Sept. 81
The political war between the two fac.
tons of the Silver Republican party
resulted in the death of Charles Harris
of Denver. 1t was the result OF an at.
tempt by the Broad faction to capture
the opera house which was guarded by
the Sprague faction. At I o'clock o
rush was made by IS or 100 of the
Broad men from both front and rear Of
the building, and the Sprague men,
who held possession, in repelling the
attack fred a volley into their assail-
ants. Harris fell with a bullet through
the abdomen, and is past medical aid.
The clash between the factions was
preceded by the action Of National
Chairman Towne in removing Richard
Broad from the craftsmanship of the
state committee on the ground of "dis.
loyalty 10 the Silver Republican party
and the cause it stands for," it being
alleged that he had joined in a con
spiracy with friends Of Senator VOL.
colt to defeat the proposed fusion with
Democrats and Populists.
Police in Control OF the Place.
Harris died soon after he was shot.
Another man was struck in the cheek
by the same bullet that killed Harris.
Sheriff Boynton and Chief Gathright
took control of the opera house and
made a thorough search. The sheriff
said they discovered q whole arsenal in
the building. The officers seized six
Winchester rifles and ten revolvers.
The opera house is now in possession of
the police, deputy sheriffs and adher.
ents of ex.Chairman Broad. No one
is allowed to approach the doors.
James A. Howe, Walter Russell, j.
j. Lang and A. G. Smith of the party
in the hall were arrested.
The sliding doors which form thu
entrance to the auditorium show thu
effects OF the shooting. The right hand
door to the room is perforated with tn,

Colonel Watterson's Mistake.
Baltimore American)

IT seems impossible to permanently
oyertake an interesting misstatement
after il gets into print. This is espe-
cially true with the statement about
setting THE Star-Spangled Banner to
music. The first fiction got into Har-
per's Magazine years ago, and 1t has
made the rounds regularly since. We
are not surprised, therefore. that 1t fool
ed so careful writer as Colonel Wat
terson. This is the form 1t took In his
address:
published in the succeeding issue of
the American, and elsewhere reprinted
II went straight to the popular heart.
1t was quickly seized for musical adapta-
tion. First sung in a tavern adjoining
the Holliday-Street Theatre, in Balti-
more. by Charles Durang, an actor,
whose brother, Ferdinand Durang, had
set il to an old air, its production on
the stage Of that theatre was the occa-
sion of spontaneous and unbounded en-
thusiasm. Wherever IL was heard its
effect was electrical, and thenceforward
1t was universally accepted as the ma
tional anthem"
The truth of the matter is easily given.
With the song on its first publication
was this line: Tune: 'Anacreon in
words. but he selected the tune. This
original copy is in the files OF the Ameri-
can. The Durang story cannot be sup
ported from any documents of those days.
The record shows that the song was
first sung by an actor named Harding,
at the Holliday-Street Theatre.
