tanned the following dispatch:
Florence, Colo, July 29-(Spec-
ial al)-The Tribune tonight publishes
a report to the effect that the Denver
lessees of the Rocky Mountain Smelt-
ing company an independent concern
here, have gained possession under "a
bond and lease for the purpose of
turning the plant over to the Ameri-
can Smelling q Refining company.
All readers of The Tribune know
that this paper never has published
such statement, and that yesterday
it didn't even mention the smelter.
In justice to Mr.. Williams, the regu-
lar correspondent for the Republican,
we wish to state 0iat he has proven
to our satisfaction that he is not re-
sponsible for the article in question
Where it came from we have not yet
been able to determine. bat we would
like to see the color OF the mans haiI
that is so prolific of pipe dreams.
The Tribune has reliable assurance
that the smelter will remain an inde.
pendent plant, and that the work OF
rebuilding will commence very soon.

1t is not the Londoner only who

receive decorations for their endeav-
