body yesterday appointed Lewis H.
Cheney of Rio Grande county to be a
member of the state soldiers home
commission, and Mrs. Martha A. Shute
to be secretary of the State Board Of

stitutions.
Mrs. Martha Shute was first ap-

ly due to her efforts that such prog
ress has been made. Reports and cir
culars setting forth many interesting
and useful facts are compiled and sent
out by her. Mrs. Shute has thorough
ly systematized the work. She has
been appointed by successive admin.
istrations.

HOLDUPS COMMIT
nURDER IN PUEBLO

Pueblo. Colo. March 16.-At 7:30
o'clock tonight two masked men en-
tered Lousteau's cafe on Fourth street,
and pointing two revolvers at the head
of Mrs. Lousteau, wife of the proprie-
tor, demanded the money in the regis
ter. She screamed and rushed through
the room to the kitchen. Both men
wore masks and had guns in each
hand.
DR.. j. w. Turner was seated at ta-
BILE in the front part of the cafe. and he
rose to his feet when the shorter of the
two hold-ups aimed his revolver at him
and discharged it. The bullet entered
the right arm and passed through it
into the heart, killing him almost in
stantly.
C.. e. Bishop. employed by tho Pueblo
& Suburban Traction G Lighting Com
pany, seated at a table near the doctor.
started to rise when the second man
fired at him. The bullet passed through
the stomach. He was taken to st.
Mary's hospital, where at o'clock this
(Monday) morning. it is said he cannot
recover and is sinking rapidly.
The police were notified and Chief
Shoup called in all his night men and
day men and instructed them to spare
no work in running down the hold-ups.
Every part of the city is being secured
and the chief is still at work hunting
down the men.
An order has been sent to Canon City
for the bloodhounds, and as soon as
they arrive they will be put on the
trail. The police believe the work was
that of novices or the result of some
grudge between the men shot and the
men who did the deed.

SALIDA ROBBERS
UNDER ARREST

Denver. March ia Republican
special from Salida last night says:
Early this morning the officers sue
ceeded in capturing j. w. Ryan. one of
the men directly implicated in the
swindle perpetrated on the First Ma
tional and Salida State banks yesterday
afternoon. Ryan is the man who
worked the telephone end of the
scheme.
The officers had obtained a clew of
the whereabouts of one of the men and
at o'clock this morning went to in
vestigate. AS they approached the
house near the corner of Third and e
streets. in the residence portion of the
city, they saw man dart across the
street toward a pile of bricks on a va
cant lot The officers called to him to

diately after the robbery and later

The officers say that they have
enough evidence to convict these men
of the robbery, and they will be held.
The officers are very reticent regarding
the matter, and have no further infor-
nation to give out.
Little can be learned regarding Ryan
and Mitchell. Ryan came here from
Colorado Springs about March list. and

He frequented saloons and associated
with gamblers. 1t is known that Nc

COLORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY
AND DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL

Representatives Aitken, Kinsey and

! sail of Colorado City. called on Cover
nor Peabody March 10 with petition
signed by. 700 citizens of the town.
asking withdrawal of the troops. The
Governor stated that no militia would
be withdrawn until Sheriff Gilbert in
| formed him the soldiers were no
longer needed.
Wednesday, March 18th, was a hard
day on pure food bills in the House.
| House bill No. 173. by Mr.. Moler. being
an act to create the office of pure food
and dairy commissioner. was taken up
in connection with II. B. No. 81, by
Church, and H. B. No. 2S1. by Pace.
which also provide for pure food
commission. The fight over the bills
resulted In party fight. the Republic
cans trying to force the passage OF
the Church bill. while the Democrats
wanted the Moler bill considered. Mo-
Ter moved the usual favorable motion
on his bill. and Church then moved as
an amendment that his bill be consid-
cred instead of Moler's amendment.
The Democrats then presented another
amendment. which would bring Mo-
lers Dill up. but Representative Breck-
enridge ruled that the Church amend
ment was the only one that could be
made. and ruled that the Church bill
was before the committee. A wrangle
followed. but Breckenridge stuck to
his ruling. and called for vote on
the Church amendment. 1t was de-
clared lost by a vote of 26 to 26. Morris
then moved that the enacting clause Of
II. B. No. 173. by Moler be stricken
out. This prevailed. and Church then
moved the usual favorable motion on
his pure food bill No. 81. Moler here
secured revenge. and moved that the
enacting clause of II. b. No. 81 be
stricken out. This prevailed. and
both pure food bills were killed amid
laughter. Later similar action was
taken on House Bill No. 2S1, by Mr..
Pace. and this disposed of the last Of
the House pure food bills.
