Denver. March 10.-Mrs. F. M. irish
has been discharged from the position
of superintendent of the State Indus
trial School for Girls. She gave up her
position last night, and Mrs. Jennie G..
Dunkel, a member of the board OF con-
troll. took charge. William F. Living
ton, brother of Mrs. John b. Hunter OF
the board, remained at the school. os-
tensibly as a guest, but in reality to
give aid and protection to Mrs. Dun
kel. Secretary John II. Gabriel was
unable to attend the meeting. He sup
ports Mrs. Irish and claims he will not
leave the board until the present scan
dal is cleared up.
The discharge of Mrs. Irish means
that three others directly connected
with the institution will leave. Gov
ernor Peabody yesterday received the
reports of Judge b. B. Lindsey and o..
S. Storrs. who acted as his personal
representatives in the investigation.
The governor says he sees no reason
for taking action at present. Members
of the board did not announce who
would succeed Mrs. Irish, but it is be-
lieved that Mrs. Imogene Clark, sister
of Robert NJ. Colder. president of the
board. will get the place. She may take
charge to-day.

FIRING TAKES PLACE BETWEEN
TROOPS AND STRIKERS PICKETS

Denver, March 10.-A Republican
special from Colorado Springs last
night says:
Shortly after Z o'clock tonight an
apparently concerted assault was made
on the Standard and Telluride plants,
the Portland mill being unmolested,
partly by virtue of its isolation.
During the afternoon threats were
made, according to information that
reached brigade headquarters. by the
strikers, that violence would be resort
ed to to prevent further work at the
mills and that an attempt would be
made to intercept the entire midnight
shift at the Portland mill and possibly
to take possession Of the plant.
AS a result the guard was doubled
at this point and sentries put out an
additional 100 feet all around the plant.
Colonel James II. Brown, accompa-
MED by detachment of fourteen SEN
tries, visited the executive committee in
the union headquarters found Charles
Burr, l.. N. Edwards president of the
Millmen's Union, and seven other
memb1ss of the union. and informed
them that threats had been made;
placed picket of fourteen men about
Edwards that he would hold him per-
sonally responsible for any outbreak.
The pickets allowed free access to the
headquarters, but took careful note of
what transpired.
Shortly after / o'clock a sentry at
Camp Peabody at the Standard mill,
halted a man who was trying to creep
through the lines. The man refused to
stop and was fired upon. He escaped.
but during the exchange of shots at
the Telluride mill few minutes later
a second man dashed past the sentries.
secured entrance into the camp, and
has not been discovered.
A few minutes after the first skir-
mish with the sentries at the Standard
a 1910 bullet from smokeless rifle
was fired from the brush into the pump
house of the Telluride plant, passing
within six inches of the pumpman's
head.
A moment later the sentry outside

MRS. IRISH DISCHARGED FROM
GIRLS INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL

The board of control discharged
Mrs. Irish after she had formally de-
clined to reinstate Miss Emma f.
Page. instructor in the educational de-
partment, who had been dismissed on
the ground that she had devoted much
of her time recently to obtaining state
ments from the girls against the hus-
band of the superintendent, who was
acting as her assistant.
1t required almost an all-day session
of the four members of the board to
effect the discharge. President Colder.
Mrs. Harriet G. r. Wright. Mrs. Dun
kel and Mrs. Hunter were present, Sec
retary Gabriel being unable to attend.
The meeting began after the arrival of
the first train from the city. about 3
o'clock 1t was o'clock in the after
noon before Mrs. Irish was dismissed.
While the board was in session the
entire situation was talked over. Fin
ally a note was sent to Mrs. Irish, ask
ing her to reinstate Miss Page. The
superintendent replied by note that
she could not rescind her former ac-
ton. Then the board asked Mrs. Irish
to resign. She refused. The board
then formally removed her. the change
to take place when the inmates Of the
school retired for the night.

reached by the Due d'Abruzzi. We shall
probably strike north in July for Franz

Buffalo Hunt at Salt Lake.

Salt Lake City, Utah, March 10.-A
buffalo hunt-a rare occurrence even in
the West. where formerly they roamed
the plains in herds many thousands
strong-took place Sunday on Antelope
island. in the great Salt lake. fifty
miles from the city. The hunters were
q party Of Salt Lakers. and their game
three magnificent bulls among private
herd OF buffalo on the island. These
animals had become SO vicious that
their presence was constant menace
not only to human life, but also to the
herds Of cattle grazing on the island.
The hunt was an exciting affair and
several Of the party had narrow escapes
from death. Several times the animals,
maddened by the stinging bullets.
turned upon their pursuers, who es-
capped only by urging their mounts to
the utmost speed
The buffalo fought with all the ira
ditionRl courage and ferceness OF their
race. and not until their bodies were
literally riddlcd with bullets did they
give up the struggle.

the pump house was made the target OF
five or six shots fired in rapid success
sion.
Unhurt, he returned the fire, and a
score OF deputies and militiamen, both
mounted and ON foot, were at the
scene. No trace of the attempted as
sassins could be found, their escape be-
ing made easy by the dark brush.
Almost at the same time sentry on
the Colorado Midland track between
the Standard and Telluride plants and
nearer the Standard, was fired upon

and assistance was almost Immediately
at hand, but the assailant escaped.
From reports made by the sentries
and the flashes from the guns, the men
doing the shooting were located on the
hills surrounding the reduction plants.
Most of the shooting was done at long
range.
No one was injured.
Other sentries stationed around the
three mills were fired upon at mid
night. There were physical encounters
between workmen going to and coming
from the mills and employees. were
guarded from their homes to the mills
by details of infantry. Deputy sheriffs
were held up at the points of guns,
and two narrow escapes were reported,
one a sentry, the other Deputy Sheriff

About midnight a number of scatter
ing shots were fired from the hills
around the Portland plant So far as

hurt.
At o'clock this CTuesday) morning
Colonel Brown and Adjutant General
Bell said that the blame must rest upon
the strikers. Colonel Brown stated that
only one gatling gun had been sent to
Denver, leaving one on guard at the
Telluride mill and one at the Stand

Colonel Brown stated that tomorrow
no regular strikers pickets would be
allowed and that the only pickets that
could possibly be stationed were those
who mingled with the crowd at the
public thoroughfare and would be un-
distinguishable as such.

TOM HORNS GUN
ON EXHIBITION

Denver. March 1O.-The Republican
of yesterday morning says:
A gun lost by Tom Horn near Den
yer about two years ago will be placed
on exhibition this morning in the win
dows OF A. S. Carter's store on Six
teenth street. The revolver was brought
in on Saturday by James A. Scott. who
conducts the White or Mill Iron ranch,
near Deer Trail. According to the
story told by Mr.. Scott. Horn was a
decent citizen, or was posing as such,
at the time he lost the revolver. In
the fall OF 1900 couple of men brought
a lot OF horses to the Mill Iron ranch
and asked to have them pastured. They
agreed to the terms offered and drove
away. That was the last ever seen Of
them.
Mr.. Scott waited until January Of
1901, and then he looked up the brands
on the horses and discovered they be-
longed to owners in Wyoming. He
wrote to them and in response Horn
appeared in February. The horses. he
said. had been stolen from different
Wyoming ranches and diligent
search made for them had failed to
discover their whereabouts. The first
word from them had been Mr.. Scott's .
letter.
While riding In the field looking up
the horses. Mr.. Horn lost his revolver.
He made an extended search for the
weapon, but was finally compelled to
leave tho farm without It. He asked
Mr.. Scott to look 1t up and II he found
1t In condition to forward 1t to him.
Four months later the weapon was
found, but so rusted that II was thought
to be worthless. MIR. Scott threw 1t
into pile of rubbish and paid no fur
ther attention to 1t. But when Horn
was sentenced to death last winter he
recalled the fact of the old gun. Look
ing up the weapon. he brushed It and
oiled 1t and found It to be a mighty
good make of modern revolver. The
trigger even had the safety catch, to
prevent its being discharged in a pock-
ct or holster.
On one side Of the butt were found
four notches. and on the other there
were two, one of the latter being sort
of double, with long and short notch.
Every notch on Western mans gun
means something. Found on the gun
0f a noted desperate, the notches
would mean SO many lives taken. Such.
at any rate. Is the meaning put upon
the notches in the gun spoken Of. The
two notches are supposed to mean q
boy and . man killed ct the same time.
