Chicago, who was a passenger on the
train, and who happened to be on the

Cured
Mr.. Mackin called at the office soon
after arriving in the city yesterday
| and gave the following account:
Il was a passenger on the Pullman
car ''Harluck'' from Salt Lake to
this city and was in my berth, but
was not asleep. When the train reach
ed Helper, l noticed the smell of
smoke, which grew more dense every
moment. | supposed that we We're
passing in range of some forest fire
and paid no attention to the matter.
| But as the smoke grew worse instead
of better, | got up and went out to
investigate it, and found to my sur
prise that there was no fire near us.
The smoke must then be issuing from
some portion of our car
Il notified the pullman conductor and
together we made an investigation,
and found that the smoke came from
between the roof of the car and the
top, where the gas pipes are laid. 1t
was apparent that one of the gas pipes
and bursted, and the gas was on fire.
AS quietly as possible, without alarm
ing any of the passengers, we got the
train crew and porter and extinguish-
ed the fire, as we supposed.
''We had proceeded II few miles fur
ther, however, when the smoke again
began to pour from the crevices i'll the
walls and we were obliged to stop
and get at the fire again. The second
time was successful and there was no
more trouble, at least not that | knew
of. Had the passengers found out
that there was danger. they would
probably have created a panic, but as
it happened those who knew of the
danger were all level headed and made
no disturbance The "Harluck' is

Denver, Sept S.-On the eve of the
democratic convention there is more
hope for Olman. Some of the smaller
counties have been heard from through
their delegates, who have reached
town and II majority seem to be for
the Pueblo man.
The News tomorrow will state that
Orman will be nominated ON the sec =
ond ballot
The Stimson leaders are apparently
very sanguine and insits that Ormau
cannot be nominated on the first bal
lot and that after that has been cast
the Orman strength will fall to pieces.
There are several dark horses waiting
to be called or struck by lightning
their hope is in IA deadlock between
Orman and Stimson.
Robert w. Speer has promised ma :
jority of the Arapahoe delegates to
Orman and he is kept busy herding
them. Orman is not very popular,
but there are powerful influences
behind him.

And so he was, but he didn't know
it. AS result stop-over passenger

According to the gentleman S story,
which must be taken for what it is
worth because he desires his name
withheld from publication. he was
asleep in the smoking car. He dream
ed tina. the train was being held up;
that the;outlaws had entered the car
and that every passenger therein
threw up his hands. Then the robbers
went through each mans pockets i'll
turn. He distinctly remembers the
peculiar tickling sensation as the
train robber inserted his hand into his
pants pocket and extracted his purse.
When the train pulled into Grand
Junction he was awakened by the call
of the brakeman-h drowsily arous-
ed himself and after rubbing his eyes
he felt for his watch to note the time,
The watch was gone. Remembering
his dream he felt in his pocket. The
purse was gone.
The car was empty save for himself.
1t was too late to make complaint
Half dazed he wandered down to a
hotel and sat up and then finally went
to bed.
That is all there is TO the story
which may or may not be true. At
any rate it affords students of physico-
gioal research an interesting oppor-
tunity to study out whether a man
may be asleep and at the same time
awake.

The Political Situation is About
As Confusing As 1t Can Be-
Orman'S Friends Hopeful.

Denver, Sept S.-The democratic
political sitaution ON the eve of the
state convention is about as confusing
as it possibly can be. Although the
convention is at hand. there is no deal.
no set programme, and the man on
whom the gubernatorial nomination
will fall cannot be predicted with any
pararently up in the air, and who il
who and what is what are questions
that no man can answer until the big
convention gets down to work.
There has been many rumors of sec
ret meetings and conferences between
heads of the factions regarding agree
ments and dark horses, but they were
run to earth and found to be ground
less.
1t is safe to assert that no under
standing between the Thomas and Ad-
ans forces exists at all; neither has
either side made any dicllers with the
dark horses
1t is equally safe to predict that
there will be no nomination ON the
first or second ballots. That being
true, "A fight such as has never been
witnessed in "A political gathering in
Colorado seems to be inevitable.
Whichever of the now leading candi-
dates wins it will only be after des-
perate struggle. Stimson will go into
the convention with more instructed
delegates at his back than either Stew
ems or Orman. He has not enough in
structed votes. however, to elect him
on the first ballot; Stevens has far
from enough, and Orman will get only
the complimentary votes from Mr.
Speer in Arapahoe county and several
of the smaller counties that will vote
for him solidly.
