The Colorado officials who attended
the dedication of the fair at st. Louis
have kick coming, and are bitter in
denunciating the manner in which they
were received in st. Louis. They do not
claim that there was any intentional
slight or discourtesy, but there was such
lack of ability and tact on the part oi
the committees and sub committees, that
the arrangements for the reception and
entertainment of the invited guests were
totally inadequate to the occasion. Gov
ernor Peabody when interviewed in re-
gard to the matter, said it was catch as
catch can from first to last. There
seemed to be no arrangements for eating
or drinking or transportation for any
body and visitors were robbed unmerci.
fully. He says he was compelled to pay
$500 for hack to ride one mile, and
very many of the prominent officials OF
the different states were unable to get to
the fair grounds, and did not witness the
ceremonies at all. This is not compli-
mentary to st. Louis which of all the
cities has hitherto bourne the reputation
of being the most hospitable ofall. The
people of st. Louis are ashamed and in
dignant and say that if the matter had
been left to the citizens at large that the
guests of the city would have been taken
care of. 1t was all for lack of business
ability and tact on the part of the COM
mittees who had this part of the pro-
gram in charge, and will probably be an
object lesson to them, and it is fair to
predict that it will show them the neces-
sty Of thorough organization that such
a disgraceful affair shall never occur
again.

According to reports from Newcastle,
the belief now prevails that Sam Clifton,
the confessed murderer of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Church, who were shot down at
their ranch south of Gillette, had an &C.
complice in the tragedy. There are sew
eral things that point strongly to this be-
lief. In the first place, 1t is argued
Clifton could hardly have committed
the crime unaided, and in the Second
place considerable property that was
stolen has not been recovered. All that
Clifton admitted having taken has been
recovered. He says he took nothing
else. But why Clifton would shield an
accomplice cannot be understood, unless
it is that Clifton realizes that he would
gain nothing by telling on his companion.
The authorities are now working on sew
eral clues and it is possible that before
Clifton's case comes to trial they may
unearth something.
