one of the bandits sniekered and a
false pair OF whiskers slipped down off
smiling. rosy coun,enance. did the tour
lists suspect they were being made the
veins of practical jokers.
The two y ung ladies, with party OF
friends. are touring the Yellowstone
Park. To create a little diversion they
arranged with the driver of the stage
that they would hold him up on the
thick timber The girls attred them
selves in chaps, strapped on two six
shooters, the barrels of which had been
sailed by the military authorities OF the
park, borrowed two car bines from the
troopers, and, with their friends and the
sold .ers concealed In the nearby timber

compelled to alight and keep their hands

After the girls had secured everything
they could lay their hands on, they re-
yealed their identity and returned the
valuables to the startled passengers. Civ

CHANGE Of VtNUt GRANiID
The New Trial Will be Held in
WdShOe County

The District court this morning grant
murder and robbery cases, upon the
ground that a fair trial could not be had
element Truly the ways of the law are
strange and past all finding out to a lay
man, for on the day the case was brought
up on the motion there were only few
boys present, and this morning only
eight persons Were in urt outside of the
officers. If there is any public excitemer,
it j. certainly of a very undemonstrative
character, for there is not the slightest
mana estation of it anywhere. The piis-
oneis have been here SIX months. and SO
far there has been no.hing TO interfere

a heart so big and kind and mind of
such gentle, patient nobility. that even
little children made of him as ne made

c. A. Rodgers. HIS life was filled with
beauty and unselfishness; his death was
a noble sacrifice to his ideals. He never

of danger was always his to share with
none. In the meridian of his usefulness.

always in his thoughts, he went out upon

DEEP GLOOM HANGS
OVER PUEBLO
Pathetic Scenes at Burial of
Victims of the Denver &
Rio Grdnde Wreck

Pueblo, Aug. 10.-The beauty of today
was marred for hundreds of Pueblo citi
zens who witnessed the passing of friends
and relatives whose bodies were being
conveyed to their final resting places.
Early In the day all preparati ms had
been completed for the funerals. The
undertakers and liverymen were severe
ly taxed in supplying hearses and We
hicles. but all were finally accommodated
and soon long lines were vending their
way to the various cemeteries. Many
bodies were sent to other cities last night
and today. Sad indeed were me of the
pictures to be seen; instances of father
and mother being borne 70 the grave
followed by three and four orphan chll-
dren were not rare. Down town the
streets were wded with people watch
ing the professions and business was
almost at standstill.
The search for victims which has been
so faithfully conducted the past two
days was resumed at dawn today, but
the chances of further recovery of dead
grows fainter as time passes, although
many pers- ms supposed to be victims are
as yet unaccounted for.
The work of identifying the victims
has been difficult, but perhaps not me
SO than in other similar cases The
names have been duplicated and quadrup-
licated with trifiing variations until the
lists have been swelled to even more
than one hundred. The list of Identified
dead as rep rted this morning, with the
addition of the bodies recovered yester-
day, numbers II with three still unidenti-
fled and IS missing.
The coroner's jury was brought togeth-
er again this morning and resumed its
Investigations. mass of evidence is be-
ing collected. but has been of little c n
sequence, but resulted in bringing our
the fact that party of ghouls were
driven from their nefarious work by men,
who say, however. that they secured little
plunder. Holding of bodies FIR ransom
has also developed
one of the unidentified bodies was rec
ognized shortly before II o'clock this
morning as being Mrs. Ada Campbell, of
Pueblo. This leaves two unidentified bod
les in the morgue.
The wrecking crews succeeded in enter
ing the overturned chair car this MORN
ing, but no bodies were found. This was
about the last place where bodies were
expected to be f. und at the scene of
the wreck and any further discoveries
will probably be made further down the
river or dug from the sand.

Government telephones

Washington. Aug. 9.-Because 1t is be-
lieved that the local telephone company
is preparing TO raise rates 1t was sug-
gested at the cabinet meeting day that
the government install its own telephone
system in Washington. The subject was
put into the nands of Secretary morton
for inves ,igation.
The question was suddenly brought up
at the cabinet meeting by statement of
several f the cabinet officers tha- the To-
cal telephone company had within the
past few days presented to the depart
ments blank contracts for another year
that fixed the charges at a figure con-
siderably above the charges in the last
contract.
The idea is to have an interdepart-
mental telephone system constructed,
owned and operated by the government.

Building Notes.


Work on the court house is pro-
crossing slowly but surely. The
offices and court rooms are practi-
callv finished with the exception of
lighting and furniture, but there is
much work to be done on the stairs
and corridors. The workmen have
begun placing the marble wainscot-
ing and the marble work on the
stairs, which will take considerable
time to complete.
After about two weeks delay,
work on the First National Bank
building is progressing. The car
penters have begun laying the joists
and false floor, and will soon be
ready for the brick layers. The
Lathrop-Bennett building is almost
completed and Mr.. Lathrop expects
to commence moving the first of
next week. The fixtures for the
drug store have arrived and are the
finest in the city. The monstrous
box car which has been standing on
the side tracks the last few days
was required to bring them and was
filled to the top.

SENATOR HOAR DEAD.
Venerable Stateman Passes Away At
His Home In Massachusetts,.

George Frisbie Hoar, senior sena-
tor from Massachusetts,, died at his
home in Worcester Friday morning
at 1:35. The end followed a period
of Inconsistencies that had con-
tinued since early Tuesday and
came SO gently that only the at
tending physicians we're aware of
the exact moment of dissolution.
The physicians despaired Of the
senator's life six weeks ago, but
such was the vitality exhibited by
their patient that even they were
surprised and the public was at
times led to cherish faith in his
ultimate recovery.
On Sunday last, however, all
hope was abandoned after the last
unsuccessful attempt to administer
medicine and nourishment. Brief
lucid intervals were followed by
longer durations of Inconsistencies
until Tuesday morning when the
venerable statesman sank into a
state of coma from which all efforts
to rouse him proved futile.
There were present at the bedside
when death came the senator's son,
Gen. lockwood Hoar. his daughter,
Mary Hoar, and DR.. Warren R. Gill
man.

Work on Park Begins.

The cleaning-up bee at the park
Thursday was not as much of a sue
cess as could be expected. The
heavy rains of Wednesday night
made the park so wet that nothing
could be done during the morning,
and in the afternoon the number Of
citizens who reported for duty was
small. Notwithstanding the size of
the working force, however, a great
deal was accomplished in the way Of
Improvement. A half dozen large
piles of stumps were rolled together
and burned, and a great deal of the
rubbish which has accumulated for
years was disposed of. A large
number of worthless trees and snags
were cut down and worked up into
cordwood, which will be sold and
the proceeds applied on the work of
Improvement.
The way in which the business
men attacked and conquered the
tough and gnarle d trunks would do
credit to lumbermen of the North
ern forests. The work was done in
neat shape, the wood set in ranks
and the stumps and litter cleared
away, so that a casual observer
would never suppose that unsightly
wrecks of trees once stood on the
smooth sward that remains. The
work is not completed by any
means, and whenever Lancaster
people feel a superabundance of
muscle, there is an excellent chance
to dispose of it at Schreiner Park.

A Successful Stock Sale.

The auction of blooded Hereford
cattle held by Thomas Carmody
and sons last Tuesday was decided
success. Although the crowd was
not large, those present were there
for business and the bidding was
hard and fast. Notwithstanding
the low price of cattle everything
sold well-even better than the
proprietors expected. Yearlings
sold for $500, calves for SIG and
thereabouts, and the choice lot Of
bulls brought from $50 to $3.50
according to age. Conrad May, the
Dubuque cattle buyer took one fine
lot OF thirty-four animals at a top
price, leaving for Dubuque with
them Wednesday morning.
This sale has placed more money
in the pockets of the thrifty pro-
prietors than the proceeds alone.
Their representative animals are
well distributed throughout the
country, and almost without excep-
ton those who purchased Individual
to head their herds spoke for others
latter on. 1t has demonstrated
their ability to produce the kind Of
beef that sells at sight, even in the
face of the market conditions
brought about by the strike. The
Carmody boys are highly elated
over the result of their labors, and
have every reason to believe that
future sales will prove even more
successful.
