ing the noise Van Dyke went forward to
investigate. Thinking Sayre about to
draw weapon, Van Dyke shot him with
cat rife The small bullet passed
through his neck, causing his death.
Sayre had no weapons. 4 coroner's jury
Investigated the case and exonerated
Van Dyke, as there was no malice in the
matter, the two men not having any ac..
quaintance with each other.
Sayre was educated at Harvard college,
enlisting in troop g when the war with
Spain was declared. lie started with
the Rough Riders, but never got farther
than Tampa, Florida. During his ex-
perience with the Rough Riders he gain.

Assay nmrss ,rlnra,up..

Eight so called assay offices located in
Independence, Cripple Creek, Victor and
Goldtield were blown up entirely and
partially destroyed by dynamite last
Monday morning. There is no clew to
the perpetrators of the act. 1t seems to
have been the result of a concerted
movement on the part of those who be-
leved them to be a menace to the min

simply run for the purpose of buying
high grade ore stolen from the bonanza
mines, in the interest of the band of ore

WHAT RUSSELL SAGE SAYS.

There may come a time when the
state will put limit upon mans for
tune.
To put a premium on brains and
honesty is the only way to level things
up.
Any restriction of the rights of cap
ital would work incalculable injury to
the workingman.
Persons who are unable to acquire
money are necessarily not capable OF
it's proper use or care.
The people know that up to the pres
emit time the great capitalists have
been only captains of industry.
So long as some men have more sense
and more self-control than others, just
so long will such men be wealthy.
It is observable that the very rich
men of to-day are far more democratic
than ever before in the history of the
world.
Intelligence, industry, honesty and
thrift produce wealth, and those who
possess such qualities are best fitted
for its custody.
It is just as wicked to intrust some
men with large amounts of money as
it would be to put an idiot in charge Of
an express train.
