FATAL ACCIDENT.
Clyde, the 6-Year-Old Son of Mr..
and Mrs. w. E. Stevens,
is DROWNED IN EUREKA GULcH.
While Playing He Falls in, and the Rushing
Waters Garry Him 10 His Death.

A most distressing accident occurred
last evening about 6 o'clock through
which Clyde, the seven-yeer old son OF
Mr.. w. E. Stephens of the Colorado Tel
ephone Co. of this city, lost his life by
drowning. Clyde in company with other
playmates was standing near the fiume
leading down Eureka gulch short dis
tance above McFarlane's foundry, where
they were engaged in throwing stones
into the water, which is very high and
running very swift at present. Suddenly
the bank upon which the boy was stand
ing gave way precipitating the boy into
the flume and the water carried him
down. The alarm was Immediately given
and men with lanterns entered the hume
at different places searching for the body.
In about an hour Nose Marehal and his
companions who had entered the fume
in the rear OF the First National Bank
came across the lifeless body at a point
in the fume under Main street. The
body was taken to the undertaking par
lors OF Ed L. Harris, where it was found
that he had received bruises on the back
of the head sufficient to have produced
death. AS tho death Of the lad was the
result of an unforeseen accident an in
quest was deemed unnecessary.
The body was embalmed and will be
taken to Denver this afternoon for burial
The grief OF the mother and father
was heartrending, and the sincerest sym
pathy OF the entire community goes out
to them in their sudden loss. The deatt
of the lad caused a widespread gloom o
sadness to settle over the community
when it became generally known.

lor'7 lawyer will Immediately file
an application i'm the federal court
Tor an injunction restraining the
Beckham legislature and state courts
from interfering with Taylor in any
way 80 far As the office of governor
is concerned.
In the event of the Injunction be

way open for redress and that is
through revolution.

will not stand unless the legislature

And here i where another hitch
-tarc- the democrats in the lace.
They do not assert that GOebel was
legally governor before hi- death.
Taylor has called the leglature to-
ge.her at Frankfort. If the demo-
Gratis meet there under the call they
will be recognizing Taylor a. COVER

With this knotty problem con-
fronting them, they are naturally at
sea
The situation does not seem any
clearer than it did week ago.
Taylor is determined. for he is un-
douhtedly backed by his party to a
