ment attended dealing on the stock

them, advanced heavily. Third Ave

Had a Big Kick Coming.

IF. O'Brien, of Colorado Syringe. &C.
companied by his wife arrived in the city
last night over the Midland. Mr..
OBrien is not stopping in the city Of his
own volition. He believed when he pur-
chased his ticket over the Midland to
Salt Lake City that he would be able to
go right straight through without any
change whatever and without any an
noyance, but it seemed that his cup of
annoyance has been pretty nearly filed
since starting on his pleasure trip to
Salt Lake City.
Mr.. O'Brein paid for a Pullman
berth to Grand Junction with the prom
ise from the Pullman agent that berth
should be reserved for himself and wife
and baby from this city on to Salt Lake
city. When he boarded the train he
found that his Pullman ticket only read
to Cripple Creek and that a ticket for his
berth had been sold in Denver for Di-
vide and this was his first bubble of dis
appointment.
He however. did get through to this
city, but was greatly disappointment to
ind that the agent had asked for no res
ervation for him on the car going to
Salt Lake City. and that the Pullman
was 10 crowded that he had to lay over
The Pullman which arrives on the Mid
land on the day run, goes through but
the Pullman which arrives there in the
middle of the night lays over here, when
it would seem that this car of all cars
would go through without change.
Mr.. O'Brien is an old newspaper man
and of course he came to a newspaper
Office to mako known his kick and it
looks very much il he had a kick COM
ing. No telegram asking for reserva-
ton for HIM was sent from Colorado
Springs and Mr.. O'Brien when he goes
back home will make his talk to that
agent sound lobd and long, as in travel
ing under the conditions that he is with
q small baby and his wife, it certainly 10
quite annoying to meet 60 many obsta-
cles, when you have thought that you
had provided for any contingency.

Mckinley Notified.

Canton, o. July 12.-William McKin-
ley was today officially notified of his
second nomination by the republican
party for the highest office in the gift OF
the republic.
There was enthusiasm to spare and to
many OF the pointed uttersnces Of both
Senator Lodge and the president there
was hearty and cordial approval shown.
Important features Of the speech of no.
tiflcation by Senator Lodge and the re-
sponse by President Mckinley were the
references to the Chinese situation.
This caused great deal OF discussion
during the conferences following the
formal speech making and tho impress
ion created was that these utterances
were notification to the world that the
United States intended to preserve all
its rights in China. The most impress
sive parts of the presidents speech were
his reference to the maintenaLce OF the
gold standard and this financial public
faith the preservation Of a protective tar
itf, the enlargement OF our market, es-
pecially the phrase. prosperity at
home and prestige abroad"

news that Matt Rash, stock grower
and an old timer ia Browns park and
neighboring country, was found dead In

body at his ranch near Ladore. Every
thing indicated that he had been shot

having been shot.
Rash had about 700 head of cattle and
was generally respected. His brother
and sister in Texas have been notified of
his death. Although no explanation is
given of the killing, it is sonceded by
some who seem to know, that it has
some connections with recent happen
ings in Browns park and Ashley valley,
Utah. Developments are awaited with
much anxiety.

FOR A SMELTER.
A Prominent Smelter Man Visits
The City--Lookins Over The
Territory--As a Possible
Location,

Morton Lindley. the Chicago capital
ist and smelter manager and owner, was
an arrival in the city today from Denver
accompanied by his wife and child.
Mr.. Lindley returned to this city on a
telegram from Manager Nikirk, of the
Grand Junction Town ard Development
company to look over the field here with
the possibilities pointing toward the
erection OF a smelter. Mr.. Lindley was
here on the Fourth of July and was fav-
orably impressed with the outlook pre-
sented for the location Of smelter and
returns again at the solicitation OF Mr..
Nikirk to meet number Of our promi-
nent citizens.
This afternoon MIR. Lindley is being
driven to points of interest in and around
the city and tonight will meet several of
the prominent citizens for an informal
talk on the matters appertaining to the
erection of smelter. Mr.. Lindley has
several smelters in operation at points in
Nevada and they are very successfully
conducted One OF the points Mr. Lind
Icy makes, contingent upon the success
of smelter ie that the citizens them
selves become interested in the venture
sufficient to make them at all times
work for its success
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Lindley
will be impressed with the geographic
cal location OF Grand Junction as a
smelter point and the possibilities it pos
sesses to secure ore from points in the
San Juan country.

Destructive Forest Fire.

Eldora, Colo. July ia disastrous
forest fire has been raging for the past
thirty hours to the east of Eldora and at
this time, 8 p. m, it is but five and one
half miles east and south Of here. The
canons are filled with smoke clear to
the range and q conservative estimate Of
the amount OF timber destroyed would
be from 100000 to 100000 feet and
the work of devastation is still going on.
The fire started about noon yesterday
at the Caviness saw mill, located about
seven miles south on the Boulder Mag
nolia road, or what was formerly known
as the Gregory trail, over which wagons
went thirty years ago to Central City.
The fire soon got beyond the control of
the mill hands and ran up the noun tain
sides, headed toward the Jack Pine
mine, but before reaching it it switched
to the north and west and is now on the
northeast of G. l.. Giggey's ranch.
Hope is entertained that it will stop up
on reaching Boulder creek.
II the wind should rise no one can es-
timate the outcome, as Nederland, Carl
bou and Eldora would be an easy prey.
Desperate efforts are being put forth to
cheek the FIRE and save the buildings on
Giggey's ranch, also the school house.
Parties started out from Nederland to
assist but were driven back by the dense
smoke.
The shaft house at H. Winegran's
mine and some cabins have been burned,
and while no loss of life has yet been re-
ported, many tales of narrow escapes
were told this afternoon.
An area Of about one by three miles
has been laid waste and great flames
have shot skyward, and dense timber
tracts were met with the pines burning
like tinder. The town of Magnolia,
which lies about four miles to the east of
the burnt district is nearly suffocatsd
with smoke, but in no immediate danger
The weather is very calm and 1t is possi-
BILE thst tonight may see the end of this
great destruction of timber. All are
praying for rain or contioned calm.
