Better Than pills.

The question has been asked, "In what
way are Chamberlain's Stomach q Liver
Tablets superior to pillsY Our answer is:
They are easier and more pleasant to
take, more mild and gentle in effect and
reliable as they can always be depended
upon. Then they cleanse and invigorate
the stomach and leave the bowels in
natural condition, while pills are more
harsh in effect and their use is often fol-
lowed by constipation For sale by 1. H.

ATTEMPT

BASTILE
Sheriff Sandberg Discov-
ers Plot Of Prisoners
in Nick Of Time.

young Corbett and Art Bowers, both well
known characters of this city, made an unsuccess-
full attempt to break Jail at Georgetown few days
ago. 1t was fault of theirs that their plans were
not carried out, however for they had made all ar
rangements to make their escape.
Sheriff Sandberg learned of the plans through
Clark Cleveland, who is serving a short sentence
Corbett and Bowers took Cleveland into their con-
fidence and when asked if he wanted to get away
he told them that he did not Cleveland then told
Mr. Sandberg of the plans of the two prisoners and
an investigation was set about. 1t was found that
the men had in their possession knife and they
had sawed the bars of the window leading to the
cage they are in.
Their idea was to crawl through the hole and
make break for liberty. In the event that they
were caught or discovered by the sheriff the plan
to blind that official with pepper, quantity of
which they had on hand.
1t is stated that the two men had sent letter
to this city asking couple of the inmates in Vir-
ginia canon to furnish them with bottle of chlor-
oform, which they would use on the sheriff. The
women are said to have attempted to purchase the
same but were denied the drug at the stores.
1t is well known fact that there is a young
lady in Georgetown who is in love with Corbett
and is surised that she smuggled the knife in
him. This party has been making frequent calls at
the Jail up until a short time ago when her visits
ceased. 1t is now thought, that having furnished
the knife, she was biding her time and awaiting
the day when the should escape
Corbett is better known in this city than Bow
ers He was familiar figure on the streets for
many months and during his entire residence here
was never known to work fight in the resort
on Chicago creek resulted in his arrest on a charge
of beating up one of the women. He was tried be-
fore Justice Whiting about three months ago and
drew sentence of six months in the county iai1.
Bowers came to the city short time afterward
and one night got in fight in Virginia canon. He
assaulted woman and received like sentence
From this time on until their sentences expire
both Corbett and Bowers will have anything but an
easy time. The sheriff will watch them carefully
and they will not have the privileges they have had
in former times

Now is the time to set the ball rolling for a
state monument for Idaho Springs.
Let us have splendid monument to the mern-
DRY of George A. Jackson, the discoverer of the
precious metal in Colorado.
Let us have appropriation from the state of
Colorado to build this monument and let it be built
at cost that will best evidence Colorados respect
for the pioneers who produced the first evidence of
her greatest industry to the world.
There is work in this for the chamber of COM
nerce for the city council for every citizen of the
county and for every friend of the great mining in
dustry in the state.
Siftings believes the representatives in the leg
islature this winter will favor such appropria-
ton 1t believes that they will have the state pride
to make royal fight for such recognition. 1t be-
leves that Senator Roberts and Representative
Kneisel will work hard to the recognition
for Idaho Springs.
1t is not improbable that certain ground would
have to be donated to the state and that the city
would be obliged to keep the park in good condi-
ton This we could well afford to do.

that Gregory discovered the famous lode that bears
his name, and from which millions upon millions
of dollars have been extracted.
'''When I arrived, said Mr. Strain, there was
only cabin or two where the city of Idaho Spr'gs
now stands 1t was not yet enough of a place to
have name. I found the Mexicans panning gold
on Spanish bar and they were using wooden bowls
for this purpose. On my way across the plains we
were bothered with herds of buffalo and the Indians
made no little trouble for those who carried freight.
Central City was then called Missouri City, from
the large number of Missourians who comprised
the early settlers The hills and gulches surround
ing the camp, now entirely bare, then
overgrown with timber and trails had to be made
with great difficulty owing to fallen timber.
'''This entire section was overrun with Indians
and there end of game for the settlers.
The Indians were not troublesome here, excepting
that they made a practice of stealing everything
they could lay hands on.

ties that he found here doubtless the inspira-

they Go West
"As young man Mr.. Strain began packing in
provisions with the mules he had brought across
the plains. He established a provision depot in a
tent at Idaho Springs and furnished prospectors
and miners with outfits He would pack flour near
the present city of Golden and his profit was $500
per sack when he sold it at Idaho Springs, some
twenty miles away His pay in gold dust and
nuggets, there being very little money in circula-
ton at this time.
Like many pioneers, Mr.. Strain has acquired
a large competence, and has extensive mining and
real estate interests in this section He thinks the
most of his mining interests, though his thousand
acre ranch near Idaho Springs is very profitable.
''All of his pioneer friends are dead but he is
still hale and hearty at seventyseven and is more
of hustler today than the average young man.
Speaking of the district and its growth, he
said this district looked so promising in all
my forty-three years experience it does today.
1t is yet in its infancy and certainly has great fu-
ture before it,"

liberty to use a story from the pen of w. w. Kirby
which appeared in Mines and Investments of Colo
rado Springs this week 1t is written in that con-
servatve but happy vein that characterizes the
writing of the genial manager of the Lucania tun-
nel and for this reason we are inclined to give him
the credit
"The Fifty-niner did the same for Colorado
that the 'Forty-niner' did for California Many
who sought wealth in California during the mem-
orable rush of 49, drifted back to Colorado ten
years later when the rich discoveries were made
along Clear creek. Indeed, it was Forty-niner
who first discovered the placer beds within the linn
its of the now beautiful city of Idaho Springs. G.
A. Jackson, Missourian made this important find
and the story of his discovery spread like wildfre
and brought thousands to the new diggings.
MANY of the pioneers who came at this early
period have passed away and it is therefore all the
more interesting to find who was here at the
beginning of this important epoch in Colorado S
history.
"a representative of Mines and Investments
recently had an interview with one who carries a
clear recollection of this period in the person of R.
A. Strain, of Creswell Colorado. Mr.. Strain came

T.. Doty @ Co.'s Stock Of
Goods in Possession
of His Creditors.

1t was quite surprise to the residents of this
city when they learned last Sunday morning that
the firm of E. Doty & Co.. dealers in gentlemen's
furnishing goods, had made assignment for the
benefit of their creditors.
For some time it had been known that Mr..
Doty was in Strengthened circumstances financially
but it was thought by his creditors that he would
be able to pull through
The Merchants and Miners National bank has
secured possession of the stock of goods under an
attachment of $2oo. Other creditors were princi-
pa1ly wholesalers but large number of bills had
been accumulated in the city.
The greatest loss will be felt by the Claytons,
Ernest and James, who had been induced by Mr..
Doty to purchase half interest in the establish
ment These two gentlemen went into the affair
in good faith and it is quite evident that Doty did
not play fair in the deal They were led to believe
that the stock of goods clear of all indebted
ness, and in making the investment they staked
their money against poor business judgment.
The stock of goods is worth in the neighbor
hood of s. 500, while the Indebtedness will amount
to S3,ooo When the stock of goods is disposed of,
those who losers will each receive portion OF
what is realized.
Doty is married man and when he left the
CITY he did not take his wife. Mrs Doty was not
aware that he left the state she was expecting
him to return to this city the day that the fore
closure proceedings were begun. For some time
Doty had been telling his friends that his wife was
going to take trip to her former home and that
the delay caused by the failure of her father to
send the money which he had requested. Howev-
er, Mrs. Doty will go to her home in the east in
short time.
1t was later learned that Doty had secured
position with mining company in Arizona and
that when he left Idaho Springs he went direct to
his new field. He is said to be employed as an en-
gineer at the present time but as soon as the COM
pany receives its stock of goods he will have charge
of the store.
The cause of the failure is attributed to two
practices For some time it has been known that
Doty had been drinking quite heavily and in addi-
ton to this he was known to have done consdera-
bic gambling in the last three months.
When the Clayton brothers invested the money
their understanding was that Doty was to draw
salary of $50 per month and all the excess earnings
were to be used in increasing the stock of goods.
