PREACHERS TO ORGANIZE.
In Denver They win Form a Vigilance
Committee to Kid the City of Thugs
and Other DIsreputables.

Denver, Col, July 1.-THE min
listers of this city are considering the
advisability of organizing vigilance
committee. The idea is to overthrow
thug rule. They say they will work
i'll conjunction with the police de
partment but it is possible that the
police force may be an entirely super
iuous contingent, Although it is
against the thugs that the ministers
will primarily direct their attention
the work which they propose to do at
once is only preliminary to the really
gigantic scheme they have under con.
sideration, looking to the uplifting OF
the entire community. They propose
to establish an organization of power
as far reaching as Tammany's in New
York city, but with view to estab-
fishing law and order instead OF politi-
cal supremacy. The plan for this or
ganization was prepared by a judge
now on the bench.

Nebraska People Condemn Gov. Savage for
Releasing Ex-state Treasurer Who
EmbezzIed Nearly 100000.

Omaha, Neb., July 16.-The release
on parole from the state penitentiary
at Lincoln of Joseph S. BARLEY, the
defaulting state treasurer, reopened
the bitter fight which marked the tri-
al and is denounced as unwarranted
by the great mass OF citizens who re-
joiced at the conviction of the former
official. Already those who took sides
in the feud which was a feature of
the famous case are lining up for
a renewal of the struggle. Nearly
100000 was lost to the state during
Bartley's term as treasurer and it is
limited that the convict has agreed
to tell what became of all this mon.
ey as condition of his release. While
friends of the prisoner uphold the
action of Gov. Savage, the majority
of taxpayers fail to find excuse for
hberating after four years man they
deem entitled to serve every day of
his 20 years sentence.
