western states, but from every state
in the union.

spectfully requested to select men sin

Gore Canon Rumor Denied.

Denver. July 31.-The Republican
yesterday says: Opposition from the
New Century Light and Power Com
pany will have no effect upon the des-
TIMES of the Moffat road. Such IS the
statement made by General Manager
Ridgway of the Colorado-Utah Con
struction Company, which is building
the Denver, Northwestern G. Pacific.
There was an article published yes
terday," said Mr.. Ridgway. "of which
the substance was that the New Cen
tury Company had driven us out oil
Gore canon, and that resurvey had
been ordered by Mr.. Moffat. looking
to a roundabout route. There is not
a word of truth in the statement.
Neither Mr.. Moffat nor any officer of
the company has ordered any new re-
survey made for the purpose of aban-
dohing Gore canon, nor will such re-
surveys be made. We will, without a
shadow of doubt. build our line
through Gore canon as proposed at the
outset"

DARING ENTERPRISE
VALUABLE INFORMATION SECURED BY CLEVER
WORK OF UNION SPY.
999999999s 99S99 9s9999999a9a9S9

One morning while Grant was be-
sieging Petersburg, Va, man of jew
ish cast was riding on train between
Richmond and that city. He seemed to
be taking pains to conceal his features
behind newspaper. Several persons
in the car whispered that he was the
confederate secretary of war, Judah
p. Benjamin.
When the train reached Petersburg,
the Jewish gentleman took carriage,
and, having driven several miles out
of the city, alighted at the entrance to
one of the principal forts. A sentry
endeavored to stop him, but he paid
no attention to the man, who threat
ened to shoot him if he did not halt,
relates the Dallas (TeX.) Herald.
Call the corporal" said the gentle
man, turning impatiently.
Corporal of the guard No. A." cried
the sentry.
The corporal came, and the gentle
man ordered him in thoritative tones
to conduct him to the officer command
ing the fort. When they reached head
quaCters, they found the colonel com
manding engaged with a party of Off
GERS at game of draw poker.
"a gentleman wishes to see you, SIR"
said the corporal, saluting.
The Jewish gentleman pushed by
the corporal and stood glaring at the
poker party.

expecting to find the place bristling
with bayonets. Instead L find the COM

VIEWED HIS OWN GRAVE.
Strange Experience of nm Indiana
Man on a Civil War Bat-
tlefieId.

William C. Phipps, of Indianapolis,
accompanied the governors party to
Shiloh, April A last, for the dedica-
ton of the Indiana monuments, for
the purpose of seeing whether he was
still dead. He desired to view his
resting place again, says an Indian
apolis exchange.
81 am especially anxious to see this
old battlefield" said Mr., Phipps, "for
here l fought, bled and died in my
youth.
81 was staggering about out of
ranks when / was ordered to get to
fighting. / told the officer that I
was shot and he ordered me to the
rear. My comrades saw me making
for the nearest hospital, when shell
crashed into n decaying ash. The
dirt and bark flew everywhere. I es-
capped with my eyes and mouth filed
with the debris. My comrades felt
sure that / was killed, and long aft
erward they picked up the mangled
body of man near the site of the
explosion. 1t was mangled beyond
recognition. They tenderly bore it
away and buried it, and the rough
board above the grave bore the In
scription:
WIN. C. PHIPPs.

his nose, rubbed some paint off his face
and, divesting himself of his frock
coat, loose sack appeared beneath.
Tossing a silk hat aside, he took cap
from his pocket and put it on. Then he
started on foot in the direction of the
enemy's works.
The next day while Gen. Grant was
sitting in his headquarters at City
Point one of his principal secret service
menwas announced.
"Glad to see you back" said the gen.
eral.
The bullets that sang by me as
sured me the signalwas SEEN"
"Yes, and your exact position was
noted with theodolite.''
"The magazine is ten PAGES to the
south of where stood, the center of
the fort 80 PAGES to my rear"
VERY good. The engineers can now
tell just where to locate the end of the
tunnel. You have achieved work as
important as it was bold"
Il could never have accomplished the
makeup necessary to play the part if
had not been an actor"
Three days later the fort visited by
the Jewish gentleman was blown up
with several hundred barrels of pow
der. But that is a matter of history.
