WITNESSES TESTIFY AGAINST
STONG in THE DAMAGE SUIT

Denver. Colo. April 2o.-After the
close TO Miss Lewis testimony In the
Strong case last Friday the plaintiffs
introduced Charles b. Ferguson, whom
the reporters describe Is . man Of
/ rather low intelligence.
Ferguson testified that while he was
working In repair shop at Colorado
Springs Strong came to see him. In
reply to the question: what did he
say to you during that timer Fer
guson answered:
HE said that he was the owner OF
the Strong mine and asked me II had
ever worked on 1t. He said that those
were trying to do him
out Of his mine and that he was going
to get even with them some way. He
said that he would give any man $500
to blow up the mine. He said that q
man who was hard up would do the
job and that II he needed the money
he would do the job. He then said
that he would get some one to blow up
the mine all right. When be went out
said he was talking through his
hat"
During a lengthy cross-examination
Ferguson got pretty badly mixed up
but adhered to his original story,
though varying a good deal in de-
tails.
John ]. O'Brien was the next wit
ness called. He said that he was in
business at Independence, in Cripple
Greek district: stated that he had lived
In the district for great many years
and was well acquainted; was work
ing for q telephone company In 1893;
started q saloon in 1894 and ran 1t for
several years.
OBrien testified to a conversation
with Sam Strong In George Strong's
saloon. He said:
II met Sam and we had drink or
two In Georges saloon. He asked me
If had anybody around my place who
was a good man and a miner He
said that he wanted a good man; a
fellow that could handle powder well.
I sent him to Jim Gilmore. ran
across Gilmore at eight o'cloct that
night"
Witness further stated that he had a
conversation with Strong later about
Gilmore. Strong stated that he could
not do any business with Gilmore.

said, Is made up Of two classes. Indi-

CHAPTER III.

1t was nine o'clock when Goddard
reached the city. Immediately on
leaving his train he engaged a hanson
and was driven over to Fifth avenue
and up that thoroughfare to the Pal
ace hotel.
BY temperament he was given to in
trospection and an almost morbid
habit of analyzing his feelings. es-
Pecially when his feelings were hurt.
Tonight his emotions had crowded
him into an attitude of deep self-pity.
He told himself that no man had ever
suffered as keenly as he was suffer
ing.
The cab took him past the building
OF which the second floor had been
occupied by Jeanne's fashionable es-
adjustment when he had met her,
fallen under her inexplicable charm
and married her hurriedly. 1t was
now with a feeling bordering on sus-
picion that he saw the brown stone
walls of the unlighted structure fit
by. He remembered how she had
made him faithfully promise that he
was never to ask her about her past
connections. She had wept copiously
at this juncture and he had somehow
gathered that her relatives had be-
longed to such humble walks in life
that she dreaded the loss of his love
II he were to come in contact with
them. He had laughed at such an
idea, but in the years of Jeanne's rigid
silence on the subject this very mys-
terry had heightened her charm in his
eyes.
He alighted from the hanson under
the arched portico in the fare of
lights about the entrance OF the Pal
ace hotel and went into the commo-
dious Office, which was at the juncture
of two long corridors filed with we'll
dressed men and women seated in big
chairs or strolling about. Strains of
music from n Hungarian orchestra
filled the air and there was afoat an
odor which emanated from a Turkish
smoking-room, where dim, sensuous
lights burned under massive shades of
crimson silk. As he threaded his way
to the counter behind which stood
the clerks of the house he had a queer
feeling in his knees as If he had been
sitting too long in a cramped position
In the train. How strange for him to
ask to be conducted to the room Of
his own wife, At that moment she
seemed quite separated from him.
My wife is here, believe" he said
to one of the clerks.
What is the name. please2" asked
the man.
Mrs. Goddard" replied the major.
The clerk consulted a big book of
entries with penciled remarks oppo-
site the names.
You were to come right up, Mai.
Goddard" he said. "But YOUR wife

said that perhaps it would be better
for you to send up your card"
Goddard fumbled in his pockets; he
had forgotten his cardcase.
Il have no card" he said, "but I will
write one"
The clerk gave him . blank card and
a pen.
The majors hands were cold and
numb, and the pen slipped from his
fingers and fell. The clerk gave it to
him again.
Il shall go up without that formal
ity'" the major said, drawing himself
up as il on parade. What is the num-
Der of her apsrtment?
"Fifty-six, at the top of the hrst
hight-second door to the left"
The major decided to walk rather
than to take the elevator, and he has
tened to the stairway indicated by the
clerk. he found that his wife had Sc
cured one of the best suites of rooms
the hotel afforded. She met him at
the door and received him in a most
splendidly appointed private parlor.
1t was coy, too; a lamp with porce-
lain green-lined shade stood on a CEN
ter table surrounded by books,
late papers aud magazines not far
from a cheerful CRATE FIRE.
"Come in, Rowland, and don't scold
me-" she said, throwing her shapely
arms round his neck. II know you
must have been frightened when you
missed me-"
He found himself all of tremble,
and his voice refused to come to him
readily. He could only press her to
him convulsively as he moved towards
the sofa and drew her down by his
SIDE. Despite her warmth of greet
ing he was unable to conquer the
fears which had laid such firm hold
on, him during his lonely ride.
why did you do this, Jes.nne?" he
managed to say. presently.

they do it of their own accord, and that
the women have nothing to do with IT..
The w. 9. I. u, however, will follow
with petitions to the same effect, and they

The fact must be acknowledged how

that one man, not so prominent in BUSH
ness as in liquor matters, said he wanted
to sign the petition, for II there was no
liquor sold in the place he shouldn't
drink any. Is not that word for prohi-
bition? No doubt there are many who
drink when they are exposed to the tenn

men and would use their money and
