WOODEN LIMB AFFAIR

A romance of wooden legs has ex-
cited South Denver, and set the
tongues of the gossips wagging.
James U. Lutes, an artificial limb
manufacturer. has eloped with Mrs.
Rose Greenway, a divorced woman.
Lutes has a wooden leg. The wood
en- leg factory in the Clayton block at
nth and Lawrence streets is closed.
Mrs Greenway recently secured di-
yorce from her husband, George E.
Greenway on the ground of desertion.
Despite her afiiiction and limp, she is
attractive little woman. She went to
work in Lute's office as stenographer
directly after her divorce was obtain
ed, and it was not long before a
friendship that developed into real
love sprang up between them. Mrs.
Lutes heard of the attentions her hus-
band was paying to his stenographer
and admonished him for it, but her
talk availed nothing.

MURDERous ASSAULT ON
WILLIAM r. MASON

William X. Mason was badly injured
yesterday afternoon by a cowardly
ruffian named Henry Williams.
Williams has been employed at the
Hesperus coal mine for about three
weeks. Yesterday afternoon while
Mr.. Mason was going through the
mine Williams asked him for certain
place to work in. Mason replied that
he had promised the place to another
man who was doing special work.
Williams thereupon left the workings
and going out the tunnel men heard
him cussing Mason Mason remained
in the mine two hours looking after
the work. Upon emerging from the
mine and enroute to the office, Will
liams intercepted him and again said:
Are you going to give me that
placer Mason replied as before that
he had promised it to another but that
he would do what was right by him
where he was working. Williams
thereupon said: Give me my time"
Mason replied that when he got ready
to pull out, he would At that Will
I'll kill you, you s-o-b-," and at
that reached to where some rocks
were and struck Mr.. Mason over the
head. knocking him down and also
senseless by another blow In the
face. Williams thereupon jumped on
Mason. when some men near by heard
the racket and stopped the man in
his murderous undertakings. When
Mr. Mason came to one of the rescu-
ers was holding him and the other
assisting in bringing him to. Williams
was going across to his house.
Mr.. Mason came to town last night
and had the injuries dressed by DR..
Raider, returning to the mine this
morning. A warrant was sworn out
for Williams arrest and Officer
Thompson went to Hesperus at 2
O'Clock this morning to arrest the
man, but found he had skipped out.
Mr.. Thompson now believes Williams
arrived in Durango on the freight, but
as he had no description of the man
last night did not arrest him.
1t is believed by some that the
.Jackson-Thompson robberies may
have sequel in the above. The at
tack was wholly unprovoked as the
man is much larger and stronger than
Mr.. Mason. and the latter is known to
be courteous and gentlemanly at all
times.

VERY RARE OPERATION
IN SURGERY


NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-One of the
rarest opportunities known to sur
gery-the sewing up of severed ven
tricle of he human heart-has been
performed at Bellevue hospital The
patient was Annie Kingsley, who was
stabbed by her husband during a quar-
rel. She was thought to be dying
when the ambulance reached the hos
Dital. The blood was pouring from
a long wound in the left ventricle.
The surgeons knew the flow must be
checked at once II the woman was
to be saved. The operation was de-
cided upon. II was performed by two
surgeons with fifteen more looking on.
The heart was laid bare. During in
teryals between the beats the needle
was inserted six times and the flow of
blood was stopped. The wound was
carefully dressed the patient rallied
rapidly, and the surgeons expressed
the belief that she will recover.
Mrs Kingsley left her husband
three months ago. She says It was
her intention to return. but her hus-
band stabbed her before she did 80
He was captured few hours later

DESPERATE
MIDNIGHT
ROBBERS

1t was not hold-up this time. but
daring robbery committed between
the hours of l and o'clock this morn
ing. when the town was wrapped In
slumber, but from the fact that the
burglars took only guns, II would
seem as If something else were com
ing. Officer Alexander, quietly walk
ing up and down his beat. between 7th
and Sth streets last evening, heard
what seemed to him like someone
dumping an armful of iron to the
ground. He couldn't think what 1t
was nor where 1t came from, and
walking down towards the depot with
eyes and ears on the alert few min
utes later. saw nothing to arouse his
suspicious. The fact was that Harry
jackson keeps no lights burning In his
hardware store o. nights, and thus en-
abled the robbers to do their work
admirably. Although he sleeps over
the store he heard not a sound, and
was most unpleasantly surprised to
find, on going into the store this morn
ing, that the old saying troubles
never come singly," was fulfilled in
his case, for the large plate glass win
dow lay in fragments on the floor,
having been broken by the sharp blow
of good-sized rock. which was also
left inside, and four Colts revolvers
of 3S and 41-calibre. which had been
hanging, suspended on rifle against
| the window glass, were gone. The RI
fie remained in its place. and nothing
else had been touched. The loss on
the revolvers was about $40
The robbers evidently wanted moth
Ing but Colts revolvers for some reas-
on, or other, for going down to Thom-
sens second hand store, they broke
his window also, carrying OF one
more Colts. They didn't have time
to get anything else. however, for N
T. Thomson. who sleeps in the rear
of store, heard the noise OF the break
ing window and ran out in his bare
feet shouting at the robbers, who
made haste to run away with what
spoil they had. Mr.. Thomson saw
only the dim outline OF one man, as
the store was dark. and could give no
description OF him. The time, he
said, was 2:20, which agrees with Of
ficer Alexander's story that 1t was be-
tween and o'clock when he heard
the noise like falling iron.
1t cannot be known whether Thorn.
sens or Jackson's was the first place
entered. The large plate glass in
Jackson's store was fully insured, SO
that he will suffer no loss from the
breakage. Hood & Fritz replaced 1,
today. Apparently the robbers are
known only to themselves and will ge,
a chance to use their ill-gotten weap
ons without molestation.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Oct. 25.-
The number of persons killed in train
accidents during the months of April,
May and June last, as shown by bull
letin issued by the interstate com
merce commission, giving the reports
made by the railroad companies, was
14O, and the injured 1910. Accidents

sulting to cars, engines and roadway
by these accidents aggregated s1,S13.-

ualties during the fiscal year ended
June 80. last. including the above hg'
ures. was 2.s19 killed. and 39.SOO in

a winter head covering with scarcely
any work. Beaver hats are OF them
selves ornamental. and frequently long
graceful plumes are a sufficient adfif-
tion to convert them into chic models.
Now that rosettes. tiny choux and
fancy knots may be bought in the shops
ready to use upon hats, 1t is a simple
fective trimmings with wings or feath-
ers. Filmy fabrics are hardly suited to
this style of hat, and it is much better
taste to keep to the idea of richness.
Besides the ostrich tips and plumes,
which are always good style. there are
soft, downy marabout feathers, which
give a graceful beauty to beavers. Some
times these are used with velvet rib
bons. as in the illustration.
Nothing could be lovelier than one of
these shaggy hats in a rich, deep brown.
suggesting Russian sable in its tint,
trimmed with one long. curling plume,
fastened with knots of velvet. shading
from burnt orange to dark reddish
brown. This vivid shade of yellowish
red is one of the fashionable notes OF
the autumn. and in velvet 1t is par
ticularly handsome.
Mapped hats are almost always large
and built on picturesque lines. To Sc
cure this effect frequently one side of
the brim is rolled up, and this mode Of
fers an excellent opportunity for the
use of dropping feathers. or. when such
are the fashion, clusters of velvety
petalled flowers
On the third hat in the illustration lit
tie ornamentation is disposed on the
top OF the hat; in fact, 1t consists OF
silk scarf drawn in simple folds across
the crown and fastened under the tilted
side of the brim with roses to match
the shade Of the hat. From these flow
ers start sprays of beautiful paradise
plumage. which mingle prettily with
the dark ostrich plumes curling over the
top at the back.
OF all the beaver hats. the most at
tractive and the most expensive are the
pure white. made with a nap so long
and thick that it resembles genuine fur.
There is an air Of elegance about these
beaver hats that is equaled only by vel
vet head coverings. and the woman who
can construct a stylish one may well
herself on her cleverness,
for she will have a hat for the winter
that is lovely enough for any occasion.
