Denver.

The fact has Just been made public
that j. NJ. HOughton, of Denver,
one of the oldest stock brokers of the
state, with offices in the mining ex-
change, was robbed of $685. 900 worth
OF jewelry and stocks which were
sec 'eted In small box In his Office
Mr.. Houghton has always preferred
placing his valuables into some nook
In his office, thinking that burglars
would go to the safe for booty and
overlook his secret hiding place. His
friends claim that his real HISS is be-
tween fifty and seventy-fve thousand
dollars.
The burglars apparently watched
Mr.. Houghton when he placed tn,
small box away and returned at night
and made the raid.
Mr.. Houghton came here from Ne
braka where he was In business for
several years prior to coming here.
AS yet there is no clue to the burglar

Colorado Miners caught by Mountain
Avalanche.
The most terrible snowslide acct
dent ever known in Leadville,, Colo
RADIO, caused the death of from thirty
to seventy-hve men at the Ii G ty
Bell mine on Smuggler mountaiO.
Although the scene Of the disaster is
scarcely two miles from this town,
information is difficult to obtain On
account of the precipitous character
Of the reads and the vast amount of
snow. Nearly all the buildings Of the
Liberty Bell mine were carried down
by the slide, all the books which show
the number of names of the men
employed being lost SO that the death
list can hardly be known for many
hours, possibly not until the rescuers
have removed the immense quantity
Of snow, rocks and logs from the can
yon where the victims lie buried
, 1t seems that two slides occurred
practically in the same place, the Sec
Dnd burying those who were trying
TO rescue the victims of the first.
The first slide occurred at 1880 o'clock
this morning, while the men Of the
day shift were preparing for their
days work.
About 200 men are employe In the
mines and mills Of the Liberty Bell
company, and less than half of these
were work at the time CT the acct
dent. The others were In the board
ing house or in the clubhouse nearby.
! Both these buildings were carried
Gown the mountain side distance of
R,000 feet and crushed to kindling
wood by tons Of snow. 1t was ~
o'clock before news Of the disaster
reached Telluride. At once a number

Iotte s. Nichols.
The jury in the case of DR.. Orville
s. Burnett, who has been on trial
charged with the murder OF Mrs.
Charlotte S Nichol of Nashville,
Tenn, returned verdict Of guilty
and recommended that Burnett be
sent to the penltentiary for fifteen
years. Burnett's attorneys will ask
for a new trial tomorrow. The ver-
dict was a surprise as Judge Bakers
instructions to the jury was consid-
cred favorable to the defendant.
The case was one of the most I'M
usual that has ever been tried in the
Cook county criminal court. Burn
ett, who is a young Centist, was
charged with being an accessory be-
fore and after the act to the death Of
Mrs. Nichol, even though it was ad-
United by the prosecution that Mrs.
Nichol had committed suicide. The
state endeavored to establish the
point that Burnett and Mrs. Nichol
agreed to commit suicide together
and that the man weakened. allow
ing the woman to go to her death
alone.
The defense disputed that there
had been any agreement between the
two to end their lives together and
asserted that Mrs. Nichol had taken
her own life while Burnett was lying
Intoxicated at her side.
