that has occurred in the family. One
OF the sons was stricken last Septem-

field one day and died the next. Fiji
teen months ago a daughter also
died very suddenly. The circum-
stances that led to suspicion in the
case of the elder Throckmorton and
the evidence produced led to an in.
vestigation OF the other cases.
Recently the boys body was taken
up and an examination by an expert
disclosed sufficient poison to cause
death. Some very startling develop

Joe, have been bound over to await
the action of grand jury without
bond. The other son was discharged.

me poison at Norman, but when /

made up to go buffalo hunting and my
greatest desire was to see and shoot a
buffalo. l hunted up this party who
were old buffalo hunters OF the wild
and woody character, but as afterward
proved to be men of the best of stuff.
I told them I was from the east and
would like to go with them, assuring

party had been massacred by Indians,

Resolutions.

Wheresas To the Hon. James H .
Peabody, present governor of Colorado,
do we fell more deeply indebted than
to any other one person for making
possible the formation of our Band
during the trying days of it's infancy
and also for the encouragement and
assistance from its formation up to the
present time; and
Whereas; We feel that owing to the
fact that ut the time of his greatest
aid and assistance to the organization
Mr.. Peabody was only private citizen
and could not, therefore, have had
anything other thah friendly interest
in the Bands welfare; and
Whereas; We desire at this time to
show some small appreciation of his
efforts in our behalf and also to give
expression to our gratitude for his
many favors, therefore, be it
Resolved; That the thanks of the
Peabody Band of Canon City be here
by extended to Governor James II. Pea
body for his unselfish interest in our
welfare, and we wish to assure him
that he has the best wishes of this
organization for his future welfare and
success.

MINING COAL.
Old Number Five Now on Railroad
And Shipping Coal
Every Day.

Coal Mine No. 5, as it was known
under the Santa Fe' management, but
listed as mine No. 80 in the catalogue
of the Rocky Mountain Coal Company,
is destined at no distant day to be-
come an important factor in the coal
production Of the Upper Arkansas VAL
ley. The company is pursuing plans
ulated a couple of years ago. Every day
shows an advance towards the realiza-
tion of the scheme adopted at that
time. 1t has taken many months to
pump out the water and clean up the
debris which accumulated during the
long period of its abandonment, but
that has now been accomplished and
the era of development begun.
During the last week the Santa Fe
Railroad company has built a switch
from its spur running out to the EN-
pire Zinc plant to the mine and in
the course of few days coal will be
loaded directly into the cars from the
mine tipple. At present only about
sixty or seventy tons of coal day is
being taken out, but the increased
facilities for handling its product will
enable the company to greatly in
crease its output, for which the Pueblo
steel works, with which the mining
company is affiliated. will afford a
practically unlimited market.
For all ordinary domestic ard steam
making purposes the product of No.
3, was famous throughout the state
twenty years ago and did more than
anything else to advertise the superb
ority of the coal measures of this Sec
tion than anything else. 1t is expected
that in the course OF another twelve
months four or five hundred men will
find steady employment at No. 80 at
good wages and that its prosperity will
contribute in no small degree to the
material welfare of the community

A Bold Robbery.

One of the boldest robberies that has
occurred in this city for long time
took place near the Christian church,
corner of Sixth street and Harrison
avenue, about 8 O'Clock last Thursday
afternoon when Miss Julia Caldwell,
sister Of Mrs. E. F. Mansfield, had her
purse containing small sum of money
snatched out Of her hand by strange
man who ran down a near by alley and
disappeared. Miss Caldwell, who had
been down town shopping. was on her
way home when the incident happened
and the robbery was great shock to
her. The thief came up behind her
and grabbed the purse before she was
aware of his presence.
Miss Caldwell, who came here from
Florida for her health, was almost
prostrated by the nervous shock con-
sequent upon the bold character Of the
robbery. She was unable to give a
description of the thief and the police
had no clue to work upon that might
lead to his identity.
