made his appearance, and seeing his brother down and a second shot about to be fired, shot at pr. Hodges. Then fol- lowed the lynching of these two Italians. Joe and Charles Defata. The mob took them before they had been arrested.
 Only Two Had Figured in 1t
 t4C.,- mtfw yawad fwafwtftmtfw mtfwy
 Up to this point, according to the Italian report, only those two Italians had fig ured in the affair. The report goes on to state that throughout the occurrence the three other Italians, Frank Defata, Jos Feducio and John Cerami were in another store and did not know what was occur ing. It is stated that they did not take part in the attack on Dr. Hodges, and that they did not even know of it until some time afterward when the officers came to arrest them. The arrest was accomplished and the three Italians were actually placed in jail. The report then brings out the mob having already lynched Charles and Joe Defata turned their attention to the three Italians under arrest. Two of these men, Joseph Feducio and Frank De- fata, were first taken from the officers and lynched.
 Three Distinct Movements
 Subsequently and little afterwards the mob returned and took John Cerami and lynched him. In this circumstantial way the report brings out that the mob made three distinct movements against the Italians and there was sufficient time for the blood to cool and for the anger of the lynchers to abate after they had disposed of the first two men. Particular impor- tance is laid upon this feature for while it is said there may have been some exten- uating circumstances in visiting such sum- mary punishment on those immediately concerned in the affray with pr. Hodges, yet the time elapsing before the second and third lynchings is regarded as an elaborate atrocity. The full report has been forwarded to the Italian office and copy, of it placed in the hands of the state department.

REMEDY FOR INSOMNIA.
sound and Refreshing Sleep Follows
the Use of n Simple Remedy.

OF all the ills to which human flesh is
heir, perhaps the most wearing and mis-
cradle is that inability to sleep, which
doctors call insomnia. Sleep is more neces-
sary than food. \ man would perish from
want of sleep sooner than from lack of
food
1t becomes, then, a matter OF the deepest
Importance to know of some simple remedy
which will seal our eyes in sweet forget
iuiness. Such an agent has been discov-
cred. 1t is needless to reproduce the let
ters, letters which come in hundreds, but
we may mention the case of a lady in
Massachusetts, who for six long years suf-
fered from nervous prostration and from
insomnia
The most famous doctors tried and tried
IN vain, to bring refreshing sleep to her
tired faculties until at last, under the ad-
vice of her physician, for she was strict
temperance woman, she tried Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey, and now she sleeps as calm
ly and as soundly as a little child.
The letter ends with the following:
While Mrs. Chase has always been
stanch in her temperance principles and
consistent in practice, she has no hesita-
ton in recommending to invalids. who need
a gentle stimulant, Duffys Pure Malt
Whiskey."

The meeting today decided that the
next session Of the Chautauqua would

the association consumed much of the
boards time today. and just what was
done could not be learned as regards
the past session. However, Mayor Rick
etts, of Boulder, said that the matter was
satisfactorily adjusted and that the forth
coming session would far exceed the last
in point Of excellence and attendance.
He said that the outlook was most fiat
terlng.
There will be no trouble about the
financial backing in the future. as the
Fort Worth & Denver and the Colorado
& Southern railroad companies have
guaranteed to see that the money neces-
sary to meet all expenses of the coming
session is forthcoming. An executive
committee was selected from the board
OF directors who will have entire charge
of the Chautauqua management.
Committees we're appointed to look
after the summer school, music, talent,

Denver, Jan. 1.-THE capitol building
was packed this afternoon on the occa-
sion of the reception TO Col. and Mrs.
William Jennings Bryan, by Governor
Thomas and the members ot the state
legislature. The chamber OF the house
of representatives was beautifully decor
ated and was crowded with the largest
number of people ever gathered there.
COL Bryan addressed the legislature
in an lmpromptu speech on the subject
of silver and expansion. He bitterly de
nounced expansion policy. He declared
that nee his retirement from the army
he had found the silver sentiment of the
country on a steady increase. The
money plank of the Chicago platform
be asserted would not be changed by
the Democratic convention in 1900.

c. & N. WILL BUILD.

Assurances of Permanency Will Induce
This Step by the Management.
The despatch from Fort Worth this
morning gives more encouraging aspect
to the chances for transportation to the
Chautauqua grounds. The matter of
constructing a branch line is being con-
sidered by Colorado & Northwestern Of
6cials, but their consideration is prompt
ed mere by spirit of public spiritedness
than from any hope OF profit. Eventu-
ally. of course. the line will yield returns
but the officials regard this as remote
possibility. Under the circumstances
they necessarily hesitate to spend the
necessary sums IN the enterprise until
positive assurances Of its permanency
are given. Mr.. Culbertson, secretary
and treasurer of the road, stated to a
Camera representative this morning that
the branch will probably be built, not
withstanding the unfavorable features, if
the necessary assurances are forthcom.
ing. A letter was written to President
Culbertson week ago with view to
obtaining his opinion of the advisability
of building the branch. The reply, which
will not necessarily be in the nature OF
an official statement, has not yet been re.
ceived, but is expected daily. If it is
favorable it will have considerable
weight in deciding the matter.
"The question" said Mr.. Culbertson,
"is entirely one of assisting the city to
get out of its difficulty. We cannot pos
sibly hope for financial gain from the
venture. Conservative. estimates place
the cost of the branch at $4,000. The
c. & S. agree to furnish the rails and
ties for the construction. but ultimately
this expense must be borne by US. The
branch will be operative but six weeks
out OF the fifty-two and hardly think it
will pay for operation alone during that
six weeks" When asked il he did not
think that the facilities that such a con.
venient method Of transportation would
offer would not greatly increase the
amount of attendance at the grounds and
50 insure good returns for the six weeks
at last admitted that it might be so. II
is practically certain that when the
Boulder members of the directorate re.
turn from Fl. Worth. they will be able to
give the management of the road infor
nation that will decide them in con
structing the branch. At any rate. with
al the negative features considered. ths
prospects for railroad branch to ths
grounds this coming year. seem roseate
hned.
