 FLAGRATlON. People Are Terrified At the Havoc Wrought By the Flames, But
 Are POwefless to
 Resist.

Denver, October 2d.-The forest fires on the west slopes of the Rockies continue to spread, aud only heavy rain can stop them. In the vicinity Of Steamboat Springs there has been q rainfall which checked the fires there, but they are still smoldering, and will start into life again unless there shall be more rain or snow. Local Fore caster Brardenburg says he has ob- served no change in the weather conditions to noints,to rain, though the welcome prediction of the weather bureau at Washington for Colorado is "showers.
 Within day or two fires have appeared on the west slopes of Pike's Peak range, large sections of timber being destroyed. Great volumes of smoke can be seen roll ing over the crest of tbe range. The fires seem to be burning fiercely along the west side of Mount Baldy, which rises to an altitude Of 13, 900 feet, four miles south of Pike's Peak. At sundown the volume of smoke decreases pereeptibly.
 Tha people of Pitkin county are becoming terrified over the havoc wrought by the flames.

ATTEMPT OF A PROMINENT SOCIETY GIRL TO ELOPE FOlLED BY HER
 FATHER.
Miss Mary Mitchell and A. r, Arrow of New York Started for St. Louis, Where They
 We're to Be
 Married.

Hot Springs, Ark, Oct. IA. P. Arrow, Q prominent business man of Norwich, N. Y, created sensa- tion here this morning by clipping with one of the most prominent young ladies of Hot Springs. Through the efforts of her father the matter was hushed up through the day, but tonight the affair leak ed out through a servant ID the fHmily,
 Mir Arrow, who is stopping at the Dewey hotel, was not a7erse to giving his connection with the af- fair. He is man of thirty years. He is of athletic build, with broad, straight shoulders, erect stature, with black hair and mustaehe. His dress is faultless. He came here about three months ago to visit some friends. Two or three weeks ago he attended lone of the fancy balls given sin the Arlington hotel. These are always attended by the elite of the city. Among the dancers was Miss Marie Mitchell, daughter of one of the most promin- enJ men in the city, and an ex-city official. She is pretty, about twen- ", perfect blonde, with heavy eye lashes overlooking pair Of beauti- full eyes. She is short in stature, rather plump and extremely vivac- ious. She attracted the attention of MT. Arrow the first time she glided over the floor. He deter mined to make her acquaint tance, He secured an introduction to her through a friend he met here and was soon engaged in animated con- versation with her.
 It seemed to be case of love at first sight. He found her to be re- fined, cultured and educated. She was fattering entertainer. Arrow was indeed smitten with her charms. After the ball was over he asked that he might call on her. She con sented. The parents did not take very kindly to Arrows attention to their daughter. As Arrow relates the story, the old man forbade him the house. He has been meeting the girl clandestlnely for the past 10 days. The girl made the excuse that she was visiting lady friend.
 They ageeed, finally, to elope.
 It was arranged to go on the 5:20 o'clock Iron Noun tain to St. Louis and be married. Miss Mitchell had arranged the night before with the colored porter to get up early and take her satchel to the train. He thought it strange proceeding, but said nothing. Arrow was at the depot to meet her So far all went well. They boarded the train and were fast speeding towards the Mound City, when the father was informed by the porter of the rather mysterious proceeding. The par ents hastened to the telegraph office and wired the Chief of Police at Lit tie Rock to stop and hold the couple when they came through.
 He left on the next train for Lit tie Rock, aud when he arrived there he found his daughter and would-be son-in-law in charge of the chief Seeing that she was foiled she broke down and threw her arms around her fathers reck and wanted to be forgiven. Arrow received a severe rebuking for his act. The girl re- turned to the city with her father, and Arrow went to the Dewey Ho- tel, where he swore tonight that he would have the girl yet.

Brandon would sound a warning to bicycle
riders and to horse drivers TO keep Off. More
