RUSSELL BOLLES
FOUND GUILTY

Denver, March 6.-"We. the jury,
find Russell Bolles guilty of murder in
the first degree as charged in the in
formation. and fix tne penalty at life
Imprisonment" 't
This was tho verdict of the jury in
the case of Russell Bolles, charged with
the murder Of Harold Fridborn, Decem-
ber 81, 1901.
AS the twelve men. selected to be the
judges of Bolles, filed into the West
Side court room yesterday morning al
11:45 o'clock, and took their places in
the jury box, solemn hush fell over
the room. and Russell Bolles, who was
sitting behind his attorney. ]. Maurice
Finn. leaned forward, his white face
and tense muscles betraying the awful
suspense he labored under as he
watched 1t, knew that he had been con-
yicted Of one of the most heinous
crimes ever committed. He bowed
his head on his hand and said in low,
broken tones, as though speaking to
himself. MY God, they're going to
murder me. anyhow"
At a motion from the court. Clerk
Bishop addressed the jury: Gentle
men. have you agreed upon verdict?"
he asked, and Foreman Frank O'Neill,
rising, handed the written verdict to
the clerk. who in turn handed 1t to the
court. Judge Dixon read the pages
several times. then nodded and gave II
back to the clerk, who said: Gentle
men. you will now listen to the reading
of your verdict"
The Fridborns were exultant They
shook hands with District Attorney
Lindsey and his assistant. s. N. San
born. complimenting them, and also
shook hands with each juror in turn.
After the reading of the verdict Mr.
Finn arose and addressed the court:
your honor" said he. II wish to
note an exception to the verdict and. in
behalf OF my client. request a stay OF
execution for thirty days. that may
prepare plea for a new trial"
Gould you not prepare such a plea in
ten days. Mr.. Finn?" asked the court
Ordinarily. yes. But In this case ]
will need longer time"
You may have twenty days" said
Judge Dixon.
In discussing the verdict after 1t had
been rendered, Foreman O'Neill said
that the first ballot showed that it was
unanimously believed that Bolles was
guilty.
THE only difficulty we had" said he,
was deciding what punishment should
be meted out to the guilty man. Ten
of us thought that the evidence in the
case only warranted life Imprisonment,
but there were two who wanted to
hang him."

Washington, March S.-Another
chapter in the postoffice investigation
OF last summer was revealed yesterday
when Chairman Overstreet of the
House committee on postofflces and
postroads laid before the House Of
Representatives a closely printed doc
ument of 21S pages, recounting the In
stances on file in the Postoffice De-
partment in which members of the
Senate and House OF Representatives
have used their influence with the Off
cials of the Postoffice Department with
more or less success. to secure in.
creases in salaries of postmasters, ad-
ditiona clerk hire and advantageous
leases OF buildings for postoffce pur-
poses.
Some of the transactions involving
members OF Congress records in the
report are held to be technical viola
tons of the statutes others are pro-
nounced by members who have read
the report as clearly censurable. while
In the majority of cases 1t is held that
members in making their recommend
atoms to the department expected
nothing not In harmony with the rules
and practices of the department
Two cases are set forth in which
members of Congress own buildings
which are leased to the government
for postofiice purposes.

Important Freight Ruling.

Denver. March, S.-Judge Booth NJ.
Malone in the District Court has de-
cided that a railroad claim agent is
not the arbiter of all the disputes over
excessive freight charges, as the COM
panies have been claiming for many
years. There is law on the books
saying in effect that all such differ
ences shall be laid before the claim
agent: but yesterday Judge Malone
ruled that an aggrieved party could go
into court direct without any consider
alton OF the claim agent.
This ruling was given in the case of
the South Platte Canal and Reservoir
Company. which Is suing the Colorado
e Southern railroad for excessive
freight charges on stun hauled to the
Cheesman dam. The railroad hoped to
sustain demurrer on the ground that
the reservoir company had not pre-
sented its claim to the claim agent and
therefore had not complied with the
law. But the court held that the courts

Attitude of China.

Paris. March 1.-THE official view
here does not share that which is
said to prevail at Washington and in
Berlin that the threatening anti-Rus
sian attitude of the Chinese Generals
Ma and Yuan Shi Kai, the command
er-in-chief, may lead to breach of
China's neutrality and compel France
to take action in behalf of Russia.
Reports received here confirm those
which have reached Washington and
other capitals. that the Chinese troops
are showing much activity in northern
China and along the Manchurian bor-
der. They also Indicate that bands of
Chinese brigands are taking advan-
tage of the opportunity to resume their
depredations and raids through Man
churia. but the officials here say It is
a mistake to connect such action of
irregular Chinese forces with the ac-
tions of the Chinese government.

Marines Mot Sent to Mlnes.

Washington. March 6.-To be out OF
danger all American women and chill
dren at the gold mines near I'm San.
Korea. which are operated by j. Sloat
Fasset and other Americans, have
been sent to Ping Yang. Henry C.
Perkins of this city yesterday received
a cablegram from Anju stating that
the mines were still held by the
American operatives. They have not
yet been molested and are hopeful
they Will not be. The men left at the
mines number about 100. Mr.. Perkins
does not think the American minister
has sent marines from Seoul to guard
the mines against possible interfer-
ence by the Russians or Japanese. The
State Department has had nothing
from Seoul to-day, nor has the Navy
Department.
No secret is made that this govern
ment will strongly condemn any or
ders for the marines to go to Anju.
which is in the center of the theater
OF war. The possibility of friction
with one or the other of the belliger-
ents would thereby be greatly in
creased.

Owing to the prominent part which
has been taken by Henley he is much
disliked. and Attorney Richardson

pressed his dislike in the court room
He referred to Henley as "an over
grown giant" "a pusillanimous vii
lain with a gatling gun strapped on to
him." and bully" He also scared
City Marshal Runnels.
When the cases were dismissed and
court adjourned. many people fiocked
toward the hotel. While going across
from the court house to the hotel, Mr.
Richardson was accosted by Deputy
Deputy Sheriff Henley. who said:
Why did you call me such names
and what apologies have you to offer?'
The attorney replied:
Il am not making any apologies In
Telluride" to which Henley re
sponded:
You will either make me one, or ]
will knock 1t out OF you'll"
He then struck Mr.. Richardson in
one eye. and again in the mouth, the
lawyers teeth cutting cash in the
deputy's hand. Mr.. Richardson re
ceived q discolored eye and four of his
teeth were loosened.
He started to run toward the hotel
but the deputy sheriff caught him and
struck him in the face again. A. H.
Floaten then offered some remarks and
the deputy struck him on the chin.

Denver. March ga Republican
special from Telluride last night says:
County Judge Wardlaw tonight or
dered the sheriff to release the fifteen
men who were found guilty OF
vagrancy early in the week and who
were being required to work out the
fines Imposed. at the rate of 50 a day
on the streets OF Telluride and the
roads near the city. Judge Wardlaw
held that there was not sufficient evil
dence to convict the men.
Within a few minutes after court
adjourned. Deputy Sheriff Henley, who
had been made the target for much
abuse by Attorney Richardson, who
was representing the men who had ap-
pealed to the County Court when found
guilty OF vagrancy. assaulted Mr.. Rich
ardson. Before the latter escaped he
had received q black eye and four OF
his teeth had been knocked loose
No case tried in Telluride in months
aroused the people to such an extent
as the one tried to-day. During the
entire trial the utmost interest was
manifested. After the evidence was
ali in, and while Attorney Richardson,
for the defense. was making his clos
ing argument at the evening session,
he applied abusive epithets to Deputy
Sheriff Henley.
Probably he did SO because ever
since the troops were ordered to Tel
luride last November. Mr.. Henley has
made daily trips from Placerville to
Montrose and return.
1t has been his duty to see that min
ers coming to the district to obtain
work were not molested, and also to
prevent men deported from returning.
After warning men who tried to return
as they boarded the train he reported
them to the military detail at Placer
