Speaks Well For The Big Five compar

Regarding recent editorial in this
paper, calling attention to the extensive
operations Of the Big Five company in
this place, on Tuesday we received the
following letter from a Denver subscriber
which certainly shows the company in a
favorable light in another direction. The
writer says:
''rhe citizens of Idaho Springs will find
that the Big Five not only cares for its
property, but 10 ,ks to the uplifting of its
help. Master Elmore Miller. son of Mrs.

things speak volumes for this company
and its policy of successful and helpful
cooperation. Would that we had more

was in the suit of Branch against Branch,
and came up on appeal from the district
cour, of Pitkin county. The opinion
was handed down last year but it was not
made public un,ilyesterday.
In it Judge Steele holds. Chief Justice
Campbell concurring and Judge Gabbert
dissenting, That unless the parties con-
sent thereto jury of three cannot law
fully try divorce suit. We must not
be understood as holding that in case of
defanlt where an attorney has been ap-
pointed by the court to represent the
absent defendant the attorney so appoint
ed can consent for the defendant to have
the case tried by three
For the last ten years the custom has
been in this state for the court to appoint
an attorney to represent the defendant
when he does not appear in court. and
the court records show that fully o5 per
cent Of the defendants absent when their
cases are called. As soon as the defend

HORRIBLE DEATH.
JAMES o'BRiEk. OF THIS CITY, VICTIM

STEPS INTO UNLOCKED PIPE SHAFT
JuRY's VERDICT BtAmEs EQUITABLE
BUILDING EMPLOYEES.

The intelligence that James p O'Raen,
formerly of the Bullion King mine OF this
district, had me, his death by falling
eight stories down the pipe shaft of the
Equitable bu Hing, Denver, shocked
those of our citizens who bad an acquaint-
ance with him. The details of the acci-
dent, as far as eau be gathered, are as
follows:
O'Brien, who had been stopping at the
Albany hotel. had had access 10 an Office
on the seventh floor of the Equitable
building until few weeks ago. but the
same had been withdrawn owing to the
fact that he bai been drinking heavily

is kept locked and il is mystery to those
having charge of the building how Mr..
O'Brien gained entrance. II is known
that be had been drinking heavily for
some we ks, and it may be that in trying
to locate his former Office he wandered
up to the eighth story and mistook the
probable than the theory advanced that
he had in some way obtained possession
of key and had deliberately committed
suicide by the pipe route.
Mr. o Brien was one Of the weil-known n
mining men of the state and had made
considerable money at times. He was
the original locator OF the old Sullivan
mine of Leadvilie.
He was IS years Of age at the time ct
his death and is survived by q daughter
and two sons II is said that he was the
father Of four daughters. all Of whom be-
came mothers superior in converts and
only one OF whom is now alive. George.
one of the sons. lives near Alma, and the
other lives near whitehorn. Colo.
The coroncr's jury returned verdict
that the deash was due TO accidental
causes, and that those whose duty Il was
to guard the entrances 10 the pipe shaft
were guilty Of negligence. particularly as
regarded the care of the keys. 1t seems
that the pipe shaft door had been lef,
unlocked, and that O'Brien had appar-
entity mistaken it for the door to the
iavatory and had stepped in to horrible
death. The supposition Of suicide is no
longer entertained.
The people of Idaho Springs deeply
sympathize with the children of the de-
ceased in their great trouble. and espe-
cially 50 because Of the manner Of his
death. During Mr.. O'Bri-n's mining
operations in this district he made many
friends. He was Straightforward aud

can learn. His craving for liquor vas
his great failing. and seems to have had
something 10 do with his death.

MODERN CAVE JEWELLERS.

although there il nothing inner
emily improbable in the circum-
stance, it is not generally known
that the race of troglodytes is not
yet extinct, and that there are At
least quite number of cave dwcllers
in modern Britain. The inhabitants
are by no means half savages.
At Kinver Edge, near Birmingham,
are two rows of modern villas,
formed mainly out of the "imme-
mortal caves followed out of the
hiil,' with stone-front projections.
These dwellings are said to be .'far
more comfortable and luxurious
than the less-original houses to be
round IN more pretentious neighbor-
hoods" The rooms are spacious
and rain-proof" and the people of
Enville, "as the village formed by
these houses is called, are Justly
proud of their quaint homes, and
speak with patriotic affection of
Holy Austin rock, the stone from
which their dwellings, are hewn."
There are several remarkable cave
dwellings in Knaresborough, in York;

une, the proprietor" of one Of which
has adorned the various levels of his
hillside cave home with battlements
and calls it Fort Montague IL =.
