Denver, Oct. 1.-THE Republican says:
Those who have been watching the

RICHARDSON HELD UNDER $t,OOO BOND
CONCLUSION OF PRELIMINARY HEARING OF CASE OF POLICE, MAN WHO SHOT OSCAR LEE, A 15-YEAR.oLD BOY.

James Richardson, the policeman who shot and killed Oscar Lee in Second al- ley about ten days ago, was bound over under 5000 bond yesterday to await the action of the grand jury, which meets in January After hearing the evidence and the arguments by counsel for the state and the defendant. Justice of the Peace Benners decided there was probable cause for holding Richardson until a thorough investigation of the case could be made The bond was made.
 The only argument made at vest erday's session of the court was by Attorney Ru- dulph for the defense. Solicitor Fergu- son falling to appear. Mir. Ferguson had stated previously that he desired to make no further argument. and the case was closed by the defense
 In seeking justification for Richardson's s act, MT. Rudulph read from section 5211 of the criminal code which excused an officer from shooting an escaping felon provided he had done everything in his power to arrest him. He argued that if the defendant had good reason to believe that a felony was about to be committed, even though 1t was afterwards found that 1t was not felony, he was justifiable He said this position was supported by the case of Williams vs. the State in the 44th Alabama report. While discussing this feature of the case, MT. Rudulph said that the evidence showed conclusive ly that Richardson had blown his whistle to summon assistance, and had also or dered the fleeing boys to stop. That he had used every precaution possible before firing, as a last resort.
 When MT Rudulph had concluded. Jus tice Benners decided that he would bind the defendant over. 9s

ASK COUNCIL TO
 STOP A SALOON
REV. pR. WATSON AND DELEGA- TON OF WOMEN PROTEST AGAINST PLACE AT FIRST AVE. NuE ANI EIGHTH STREET.

A delegation of women. led by the Rev. Dr. Mann, appeared before the City Coun- ell last night asking that the license of the saloon at Firs. avenue and Eighth street be revoked.
 Dr. Mann, pastor of the Peoples Tenn pie, situated near Eighth street and First avenue. addressed the board requesting the revocation of the license. The min ister said as 1t was residence section of the city the women and good men had requested him to make such a protest. He said saloon at Eighth street and First avenue would not only cause drunkenness among the young men but would influence the boys to gamble.
 In answer to questions from Aldermen Wheeler and Harrington Dr. Mann said the licenses now held by the saloon were not legal as twenty freeholders had not signed petition to that effect.
 Hasn't that man been paying money into the city treasury for twenty years '' asked Alderman Wheeler.
 Don't interrupt him. suggested some one near MT. Wheeler.
 Well I have got a right to interrupt him." hotly replied MT. Wheeler.
 ''I know that the man has not been there fourteen years" spoke up a woman from the lobby.
 '.Well I have been here longer than that said MT. Wheeler, 'and I know he has been there fourteen years, and this thing has just come up all of a sudden,''
 Mrs. Glade. one of the members of the women's committee then addressed the board and said she had lived there for fourteen years and that the saloon had been disgraee to the neighborhood. She said she had known of two sets of boys having been ruined by the place and third set was coming on now. She said the women of the neighborhood were afraid to go to the mall box, as ft was in front of the saloon and bad lan- guage could be heard there.
 When Mrs. Glade had concluded Alder man Kerr moved that the license in spector be instructed not to issue any license to the saloon in question after January 1.
 Alderman Ward said that the people of the neighborhood should be protected the same as in other sections of town.
 Alderman Wheeler said, We are not like some people. We don't get behind a bush to get glass of beer
 Alderman Linnehan said but one man had ever been arrested in that saloon and that he was in favor of fair play. He said 1t was manifestly unfair to re- yoke one mans license and let another continue in business
 The motion was then put and resulted in tie Mayor Drennen therefore ruled that the motion was lost.
