Mrs. Armenia A. Bulls Killed on
The Outskirts Of Denver by
Christopher Jensen.
A GIRL FRIGHTFULLY STABBED
Jensen Is the Man Who Has
Committed the Numerous
Assaults Made Upon
Women at the Capt.
tai of Colorado.

Denver, COL, July 9.-Jessie Kin
port, the ID years old daughter of Mrs.
Carrie d. Kinport, who resides at lie
West Ninth avenue, was assaulted and
horribly mutilated in her room, during
the absence of her mother, last night.
Mrs. Kinport had been away during
the evening, and, upon returning nome,
found the doors open. fastening to
her daughters room, she found the bed
clothes strewn about, and blood spat-
tered over the room. The girl was
nowhere to be seen. Mrs. kinport
aroused the neighbors, who began
searching the neiehborhood. About
midnight, they found the girl in a
vacant lot nearby, unconscious and
with numerous cuts On her body.
The authorities were notified, but
not before Chris Jensen had been
brought to the station by Policeman
Lambert, who had arrested him on the
outskirts of the city. As Lambert ap.
preached. Jensen whipped out knife,
and shouted 10 the officer that he would
not be taken to Jail Lambert disarmed
Jensen, and brought him to the station.
On the way, he repeatedly spoke of
having been compelled to defend him
self from a woman, saying that he had
cut her badly. The knife he had
threatened the officer with was covered
with blood.
Shortly after Jensen was locked up,
the Police Department was notified OF
the assault uron the Kinport girl.
From his actions, the police are con
yinced that Jensen is demented. An
Investigation of the footprints at the
scene of the crime show that the shoes
worn by Jensen fit the marks exactly.
The police believe that Jensen is the
guilty person, and that he committed
the numerous assaults made upon
women Of late. The victim OF last
nights assault is still alive, but in a
critical condition.
Jensen confessed to the police that ne
assaulted Jessie Kinport, and also said
he stabbed woman during the night
near the end of the University Para
1 Oar Line. Search was at once begun,
and the dead body of Mrs. Armenia A.
Bulls was found this morning at the
place described by Jensen. She had
been stabbed in the breast, and the
blade of the knife had penetrated her
heart, causing instant death. The body
lay in the roadway, and there was no
evidence OF struggle. Jensen said
the woman Twas after him." and for
that reason he stabbed her. Mrs.
Bulls was about 60 years OF age. She
conducted a dairy near the place where
she was killed.
Chief of Police Armstrong says Jen-
sen undoubtedly ia insane.

who hos been in prison for several
months, will today be placed on trial
tor his life. for having shot and killed
Edward p. Lynch, near the town of
Gumboro. Four judges will sit in the

night. and then drove TO Georgetown, n,
seeking advice as to what course he
should pursue. He was advised to first
warn; then shoot. lie gave the warn
ing, but, on his return home. few
days later, he missed his wife, and
went in search of her.

Baltimore. Md, July 9.-Traffic
through the Union tunnel of the Penn
sylvania railroad was resumed yester-
day, after having been suspended for
more than week, as the result of the
caye-in, which occurred on the night
OF Friday, June 2sth. Only one OF the
TWO tracAs which runs through the
tunnel is as yet available, but it is
thought that full service will be re-
sumed within day or two. The cause
OF the CAVERN is still q mystery. but it
is generally believed to have been the
result of quicksand or loose earth at
point above where the masonary gave
way. Extraordinary precautions have
heen taken by the railroad company to
insure the safety Of the tunnel in the
future. 1t is estimated that the loss to
the company by the accident will reach

ROUND ABOUT SMYRNA.

| woodcock Plentiful = Scarcity of Farm
Laborers-Other Matters.
Smyrna, July 0. - Woodoock are
plentiful along the marshes adjoining
Woodland Beach. The dry weather has
caused this game to leave the woods and
branches, and look for food on the
marshes. One gunner yesterday killed
20, and was only out few hours.
The prospect OF an unusually large
yield of wheat does not seem to meet
the expectations Of the farmers. Some
estimated at least 20 bushels to the
acre, while others were equally as con
fident of getting 30 and 35. A few have
threshed, and the yield is only ranging
from 10 to 16. This is heavy fall off
since last season, when % bushels were
an, average yield. In addition to this,
the dealers are Offering 10 cents a
bushel less for new wheat than thoy
did last year.
This section was visited Sunday
night by heavy thunderstorm. While
the lightning was not severe, the wind
blew gale, and the streets were strewn
with the limbs of trees, and few trees
were blown down. The growing corn
was either leveled to the ground, or
the tender stalks snapped in two. In
some places, hail did considerable
damage
There is general complaint among the
farmers of Upper Kent county about
the scarcity of farm laborers. The stu
alton Is bet tuming worse, and the farmers
may attempt to secure emigrants. The
farm laborers of this section are almost
exclusively colored people. A few years
ago, when the farms were large, the
colored people seemed content, from
seven to ten being employed by each
farmer. Now, most of the farms are
small, and few farmers need more than
one or two regular hands. This does
not suit the ooored people, who like to
have company when they work, and the
result is that they are leaving the
farms and securing employment on the
Delaware railroad, that corporation now
employing a large number of extra men
in extending the double track down the
State.

The Decision Based on Supreme
Courts Holding in the

AS foretold by his remarks Tuesday
Judge Gear yesterday decided against
the government in the application by
Attorney Brooks for the release of Co
to Mazzo and All Oh upon writ of
habeas corpus. Both prisoners were
released by the order of the court and
the demand of the attorney general
that he be allowed the privilege of
appeal to the Supreme Court was re-
fused. Evidently, by his decision, the
court decided that the constitution does
follow the flag.
The decision rendered in this case
cannot affect other prisoners now IN
confinement unless application is made
in each individual case for writ of
habeas corpus
Referring to the Peacock case, in his
decision, Judge Gear said:
The reasoning of the Peacock case
and other cases, in which Chief Justice
F'rear wrote the opinion of the court,
is based principally upon what the
|court terms transition period and it
is this transition period theory upon
which the later decision in the Mar
shall case is based. This theory this
court does not think sound
Commenting upon the alleged tran
sition period, he says:

That ,this state of things may contin-

that until Congress enacts otherwise
it still remains a foreign country. To
hold that this can be done as mat
ter of law we deem to be pure judi

for it in the Constitution or in the
powers conferred upon this court. 1t
is true the non-action of Congress
may occasion a temporary inconvs-
nience, but it does not follow that
courts of justice are authorized to
remedy it by inverting the ordinary

Right here it suggests itself to the
