A Reunion of Cowboys.

Denver. July 1.-THE cowboys of
Colorado. and possibly of the whole
West. will be invited to hold Il round
up near Denver. The roundup is to
have all the features of the genuine
one of twenty years ago. except that
the men will be expected to omit the
old style method of settling difficulties
over maverick. In the evening. after
the days labors are over, II cowboys
dance will be given in one of the lar
gest halls In the city. To this event
the cattle wrastlers' are expected to
appear in high-heeled boots, chappara-
jos. pistol belt and the other accessor-
les that made the real balls so pictur-
esque and so uncertain as TO the end
ing. The termination might be love
feast or n young battle. The dances
will be given the range names so pop
ular when cowboy dances Were n social
event of the season. There will be the
corral quadrillc," the Graveyard var
souvienne," the "necktie waltz" and
the other familiar numbers.
The roundup is to be one of the en-
tertainments that will accompany n
reunion of the old cowboys of the
range. In the years since they rode the
range and kept bright eye out for
mavericks many of these riders have
become prominent citizens of their
towns. II all could be brought togeth-
er bank presidents. merchants, county
and state officials. in fact men in ev-
cry walk of life in the West would be
in the meeting.
The preliminary meeting to provide
for the reunion of the cowboys. headed
by C. NJ. Miles of Hugo. John c.
Twombly of Denver. r. l.. Monson of
Fort Lupton. Henry Gebhardt of Dem
yer and I. III. Johnson of Lovcland
was held yesterday afternoon in the
office of Postmaster Twombly and the
call issued for meeting of cowboys
of the state TO discuss the reunion. c.
NJ. Miles was made chairman of the
meeting. and the following call was
authorized:
''All old-time cowboys of Colorado
are requested TO meet and each county
in the state Is invited to send repre-
sentatives to Il meeting TO be held at
the Chamber OF Commerce building.
Denver. Colorado. on the 23rd day of
July, 1900. at 2 o'clock p. m., for the
purpose of perfecting arrangements
and appointing the necessary commit
tees for the preliminary work in prepa-
ration for reunion of the cowboys OF
Colorado. AT this meeting date will
he fixed for holding the reunion and
everything pertaining to its conduct
and success will be discussed.
I'VE believe that the old boys who
participated In the roundup when
Colorado was known as the Plains
state should effect an organization
that win preserve the ups and downs
of the pioneer days in history"

The Famine in India.

London, July 9.-The secretary Of

viceroy Of India, Lord Curzon, of
Kedleston:
"The rainfall has been fairly general
this week in Bombay, Deccan, Berar,
Khandeish, the central provinces of the
Gangetic plain and the Punjab, but
has been much below the average for
these tracts, except in southern Dec
can. Little or no rain has fallen in
Rajpootana, GuZerat and central India.
The cholera mortality continues
high in Bombay. The May mortality
there was appalling. The number Of
persons receiving aid is 6,113,OOO."
The governor of Bombay telegraphs
to the foreign office as follows:
There We're 1O,32O deaths from
cholera and 6.502 fatalities in the fam
inc district during the last week in
June. The total deaths among the
numbers on the relief works in the
British district We're 1924. The num-
ber on the relief works is increasing
rapidly in consequence Of the drouth.
The number on gratuitous relief is in
creasing throughout the infected dis
tricts."

Ouray, Colo. July 9.-The Denver &
Rio Grande railroad experienced loss
of several thousand dollars last night
about o'clock through the daring act
OF, as is alleged. William Sinclair, who
ran the regular passenger engine out
of the round house and started with it
for Montrose. The theft OF the engine
was discovered by Agent Mittendorf,
who Immediately sent kilograms to
ditch 1t at Ridgway, but about four
miles this side of that station, the en-
gine left the track when it was moving
at a speed of fifty miles an hour, caus-
ing the tender to split in pieces and the
boiler and cab to be thrown twenty
feet and badly damaged.
A freight engine with large posse
started in pursuit of the fleeing engine.
The posse found Sinclair washing in
the river and arrested and confined him
in the county jail.
Sinclair is cook by trade and
worked in Ouray in 1892. He was par
TALLY intoxicated and. If it was his act,
1t was probably owing to drunken fren-
Zy. A wrecking train was dis
patched from Montrose and after
working all of last night carried the de-
bris TO that city.

free ride toward Grand JUNCTION, but
his coat and hat were found in the
cab and no other man was seen near

ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO
ASSASSINATE THE PRESIDENT

New York, July 1.-The World says:
A plot TO assassinate President Nc
kinley has been frustrated. 1t was
concocted by group OF Spanish and
Cuban conspirators who had headquar-
tiers in New York One OF the plotters
weakened and sent a warning letter to
a member OF the Republican national
committee. The letter was. placed in
the hands OF Secretary Charles Dick,
who referred II 10 Chairman Odell Of
the New York state committee for in
yestiga;ion. Chairman Odell engaged
detective. who speedily verified GER
tain allegations made in the warning
letter. Thereupon Mr.. Odell reported
10 Secretary Dick. who laid all the
facts before Chairman Mark Hanna.
Mr.. Odells' report caused great alarm
among the Presidents friends and ad-
mirers
Mr.. Odell made il plain that he re-
garded the plot as a matter Of the ut
most seriousness and urged extreme
precautions to be taken to keep the
President out of harm's reach. Messrs.
Dick and Hanna laid the whole matter
before the President shortly before he
departed for Canton. They instructed
Mr.. Odell TO continue his investigation
and cautioned him TO work with the
utmost secrecy.
To World reporter last night, Mr..
Odell admitted that he and certain
members Of the national committee
had discovered n plot to assassinate
the President Yes. 1t is true" he
said. but exceedingly regret that the
matter has become public" He was
extremely anxious that no reference
whatever should be made TO the matter.

London, July 10.--As Lord Roberts
dispatches reveal, the Beers are un-

kind occurred in New Jersey the other

his human fellow workmen enjoyed of

notice that they would gladly resume

that matters have been settled to the

'back-scratcher," once the property OF
the wife OF a Fijian chief. which is
made from the leg bone OF mission
AIRY who was killed and eaten by the
islanders early in the century. The
late owner inherited the item from his
grandfather. but as his newly welded
wife would not permit him to keep in
the house an article possessed of such

II the suggestions Of Charles w.
Garfield of New York. are acted upon
the statue Of Liberty in New York
harbor will have flaming torch
worthy OF the name. AT present the
giant lady bears a brilliant but tiny
spark in her hand, which, when the
outlines of the figure are obscured at
night cannot be distinguished from a
low-hanging planet. Mr.. Garfield
suggests that jet of steam be sent up
through the arm and hand and, as
night settles down the cloud OF vapor
would catch the glare OF the arc
lamps and have all the appearance of
h veritable fame. The idea was pre-
sented to his mind by noticing the
appearance of a cloud Of steam from
an elevated train upon which search.
light from one of the big dry goods
stores played. This arrangement for
increasing the effectiveness of the
great statue might be carried out with
almost no additional expense, as the
government has its own plant on Bed
loe's island for making the lights in
the torch. A pipe carrying steam
could easily be run from the boiler
room to the torch.
