is RESPONSIBLE.

AN organization similar to the
Molly Maguires. once the terror of
the Pennsylvania mining district. is
responsible for the killing of Manag-
er Collins of the Smuggler- Union
mine in the Telluride mining dis
trict, according to the opinion of
William A. Pinkerton. sthe head of
the great detective agency which
bears his name. Mr.. Pinkerton ar
rived in Denver last night from Los
Angeles, California, and at the
Brown Palace hotel last evening dis
cussed the murder. Mr. Pinkerton is
of the oppinion that the murderer of
Mr.. Collins can be discovered and
that systematic efforts Will result in
the apprehension of the leaders of the
organi .ation which is responsible for
his death.
81 have just come from the Pacific
coast and am therefore not entirely
familiar with the situation in Tellu-
ride. - said Mr.. Pinkerton, ''but am
satisfied that the killing of Mr.. Col
tiii' was btStotOt W VI oiSahibdpiol
imilar to the Molly Maguires, who
caused the death of so many men in
the Pennsylvania district in the
seventies. and which. when it was
broken up, resulted in % men being
hanged, and more than twice that
number sent to the penitentiary.
1.-THE murder of Mr.. Collins was
brutal, cold -blooded and dastardly.
AS near as l can find out. Mr.. Col
lins had not personal enmey in the
world. The fact that two other men
have disappeared in the district indi-
Gates that this last act was not with
out generalization. But this very
co dition should assist in the detect
ion of the perpetrators of the crime.
1t shows that more than one person
is implicated in it and therefore the
chances of apprehending the criminals
are increased.

4 WESTERN REPRESENTATIVE ON
BATIJE LOSSES.

We laid under a weight an article
containing extracts from a speech of
Representative Warnock, in the house
great war for second independence, but
other matters have commanded our at
tention. The statistics are not new,
but interesting. They are really worth
preserving. The 120 volumes of the
War Records are sealed volumes TO the
multitude. The losses were greater in
the American war than those sustained
in European vars. There were 1.SS2
engagements of all kinds and IL regu-
lar battles in which over 800 men were
killed and wounded on each side. There
were I'VE a half million in all killed
outright, and quite a million injured for
all time. North Carolina alone buried
Al, 200 in the war. The losses as com
pared with European losses are gwen in
this wise: In the English the Light
Brigade at Balaklava, there was a loss
of 247 out of G73 men. or 1861 per cent.
There were $50 regiments in the Amer
lean warts on each cide-that lost over
40 per cent. In the Franco-Prussian
wal the greatest loss of any regiment
in any engagement was that Of
the Third Westphaiian, at Mars
La Tour, 49.4 per cent. In the Ameri-
can war 120 regiments, Of both sides,
lost more than so per cent of the num-
bers engaged-some as high as go, 20 and
IS per cent-and one on each side lost
over 50 per cent.
OF the loss of the Twenty-sixth North
Carolina at Gettysburg Mr.. Warnock
said:
That regiment was $40 strong. 1t
had Sc killed and 502 wounded, making
a total of $50, or III per cent. That was
on the first days battle. But the most
remarkable part of it was that this regi-
ment on the third days fight, turned
up with a little regiment of 216 men
out of their 500, participated in hat
gallant charge and came out with only
so men left. That I z AZ the most
remarkable loss in history. There was
a company in the reglment-Capt. Tut
ties company-that went IL with three
officers n S4 men. They came out
