The institution has acres of land IN

dents, showing what can be done OF
acre plots of land. A large part of this
garden will be devoted to bush fruits.
but an acre has been sowed with wheat
and a farmyard is to be added. In a
laIgepotting shed with a matched roof
. carpenters benches are included, and
the students are taught the funda-
mental principles of carpentry, in order
that they may be able to make frames,
poultry houses or do any work of the
kind that is required.
A mushroom house and greenhouse
were added during the year. Arose gar
den is to be one of the first innovations
of the coming season. The propagation
of vines, bush fruits, roses and shrubs,
budding, grating, summer and winter

At present the greater proportion O

Killed nj I.eN,lyille.

Senator j. p. Gallagher of Clear Creek
county was instantly killed at the Meyer
mine at Leadville last week. He had
drilled two holes, and after putting in the
powder he lit the fuse and went n con.
siderable distance from the breast of the
drift. Only one shot exploded and the
senator returned and attempted to pull
the fuse from the unexploded hole, when
it exploded and he received the full force
OF the shot in the face and upper portion
OF the body, producing instant death.
Senator Gallagher had represented Clear
Creek county in the state legislature six
years. He had but recently arrived in

Thinks That the Warden of the Peniten-
tiary Is Hampered by Politics.
State Senator Sam " Newell of this
, city, returned to Denver Friday morning
last from trip to three OF the state in
stitutions, the penitentiary, insane asy-
lum and the soldiers home. HIS visit
was for the purpose of posting himself
intelligently in relation to the institu-
tions, which is summed up in Fridays
Denver Times as follows: He is of the
opinion that the home should remain
where it is and does not approve of it's
removal to Denver. He states that there
are 10 comrades on the roster, who are
satisfied where they are. The only com
plant is it's remoteness from town.
or the insane asylum he says the state
made good change when it cleaned out
the old management. He visited the in
stitution with Senators Stewart and Pot
terrified. The superintendent was not
aware of their coming but everything
was found neat and clean as wax work
MIR. Bussey the superintendent, is sole
manager, knows everybody, is familiar
with every feature and trusts none of
the management to any one but himself
Senator Newell confirmed the reports
that the inefliciency Of the guards at the
penitentary is not chargeable to Warden
Hoyt, but to the political combine. He
considers the warden one of the best
prison men he knows of, but his hands
are tied by the triangular political deal
and he cannot get away from his poiti-
cal influence that lie operating the prison.
The senator said that the truth of the
matter was that the penitentiary guards
and officers are all men that have been
put in there by the political leaders. He
thought that the warden did not have
the privilege of selecting any of his help.
They are sent HIM with Instructions to
put them to work. He thinks Mr.. Hoyt
good man for the place and that he is
not responsible when such conditions
exist. If the warden had the selection
of his guards such conditions would not
exist. The steam ana boiler arrange
ments of the institution are in fearful
condition and should be pulled out.
There are other needed improvements
and alterations that ought to be made at
once. He thinks Hoyt is doing the best
he can, with what he has to do with.

In Which W. M. Allen Kills His 16. .
Year-Old Daughter, Then Shoots
His Wife and Himself.
DAUGHTER DIES INSTANTLY
The Mother lingers With Little Hope Of Re.
covery-The Father Taken to Hospital
in Denver and May Recover.

Citizens of Black Hawk residing or
doing business on Gregory street were
very much startled at o'clock yesterday
morning upon hearing the report of five
pistol shots in rapid succession. While
those on the streets were trying to locate
the place of shooting a woman rushed
down the stairway from the rooms over
Clark and Rogers hardware store and
stated that w. NJ. Allen had killed his
daughter, and shot his wife and himself.
Fred X. Hughes and his assistant rushed
up stairs and entered the room where
the shooting occurred and which was vet
filled with powder smoke. Here they
found Zula, the 1G year old daughter,
with bullet through her heart, Mrs.
Allen lying on the floor, having been
shot in the left side and through tho
lower part of the body near the groin,
Allen was on the floor, the bullet enter
ing the body Just above the left nipple
and passing nearly through the body,
it being easily extracted by the physc-
ians. Mrs. Aliens condition is very SER
ious and thers j. not much hope for her
recovery. Allen is not seriously wounded
aad will soon recover unless blood pois-
oning or pneumonia should set in.
Allen came to Black Hawk a little over
year ago and secured work from the
tramway company, but for the past three
months has been working on the new
all hpinu arartal -, n
November Mrs. Allen and daughter re-
moved to Black Hawk from Kansas City,
Mo, where the family had been residing
for some six years. Mrs. Allen did not
like the idea of living in Black Hawk,
constantly wishing to return to Kansas
City. This led to quarrels between HIS
band and wife, and it is supposed that
during one of these quarrels, and be-
ing financially unable to appease his
wife's desires, he determined to end it
all. Securing his revolver he first killed
his daughter, then shot his wife and
himself. The man must have been NOM
entarily insane, else he would not have
killed his daughter, who was a beautiful
youh6 anu WIZ lldl uOI AWAKENED
as yet from her nights sleep.
Coroner Richmond Immediately took
charge of the body of the girl, but de-
cided not to hold an inquest until Thurs
day afternoon at 2o'clock, to await the
result of Mrs. Aliens injuries.
When it was announced that Mrs. AL.
len would probably die, deputy prosecut-
ing attorney Hurd summoned George
Forman as notary public who took her
dying statement.
Sheriff Cody yesterday afternoon ar
rested Allen, but the county not having
proper facilities for the caring of wound
ed prisoners he was taken to Denver on
the afternoon train where he WIS placed
in the county hospital and guard
placed over him.
Mrs. Aliens condition this morning
is about the same with no improvement
noticeable.

NEW ROASTING FURNACE.

The Chlorination works at Colorado
City last Monday started up one of the
new roasting furnaces of the Hulthotf-
Wethery pattern, erected by the Allis

state, being about 100 feet long and hav-
ing daily capacity of 16O tons. The
furnace is automatic throughout, the
ore being fed automatically through

by the time the ore passes to the end of
rhe furnace it has received n dead roast
and passes back through the cooling
hearth to the point of delivery, where it
is delivered to cars or conveyancer, as
may be required, while another auto.
matte contrivance carries off the ashes,
and still another feeds the coal or other
