A Pueblo dispatch of the Goth says:
Pueblo is excited tonight over the
most atrocious crime ever committed
In her history. Two innocent children
are lying dead in the morgue and a
eolored woman is at the Pueblo hos
pital with two bullets in her body. Cal
vim kimblern, a colored cook in the en-
ploy of the Fries Orphan home, is
the murderer of the children, and the
would-be assassin of his wife. The
murder was committed Mt 1:30 o'clock
this morning at cottage No. 2 of the
Fries Orphans Home in Central Park.
According TO the wounded woman's
story it was the result of insane 1eal.
Ousy on the part of the husband, who,

: Lake county can, by absolutely iden-
tifying the funding bonds issued in ex.
cess of the constitutional Indebtedness,
repudiate them except there be clause
on the face of the bonds sdpIlattng
that the bonds are not issued in excess
of the Limitations. This is the ruling
Judge Riner made in the federal court
yesterday in the case Of Flora @. Lucas
against the county commissioners and
| involving about $4,000 of the bonds in
dispute, which reach a total Of half

tain sheep. Buffalo Jones on the
22d brought in the first results Of his
hunt. a fine buck lamb about q month

The camp is in the Coal basin valley,
about eight miles from Redstone where
the sheep have been located for four
days. In the morning the eve and
lamb We're discovered in an accessi-
BILE place. An attempt was being
made to get near them when the eve
discovered she was being rushed. She
at once bounded up the side of the
steep mountain. The lamb followed,
and gaining a good height the mother
and lamb disappeared. Shortly after
wards the eve was seen ascending
still higher, but the lamb had been
hid. 1t was impossible to reach the
point from below where the lamb had
disappeared. Miss Olive Jones, her
father and the guide made a long de-
tour and reached point as near as
| they could judge directly over where
| the lamb was thought to be. Miss
Jones was swung out over the clin
with rope tied under her arms, and
search found the little fellow hid in a

| back over the cliff with the lamb in
her arms. This Is the first of the six
pair that Buffalo" Jones expects to
secure under his permit from the state
of Colorado.
