LEGISLATIVE NOTES

The second class license and the
makeup of the local License boards are
very important III alters for the joint
committee on temperance to consider.
The iniqulty growing out of the for
mer, and the temptations which may
lure the latter are very emphatically
commented on by many members of
the Legislature and the "third house. I"
Fifty men in the present House have
shown that they can talk intelligently
and intelligibly. Some Of them have
talked only minute or two but
that's long enough, ordinarily, to
prove whether man can or can.

hanging about, etc. The officers made
the search and found refreshments of
various pleasing kinds in sufficient
quantities to furnish food for enjoy
ment' both for the officers themselves
and for the other guests.
Whist and an informal social time
made the evening pass quickly. Ru-

New Castle. Colo, Thursday.-A posse of ranchmen and cowboys living in the ne.ghborhood of Garfield, wesi of this place. came upon three men, supposed to be the Denver and Rio Grande train robbers. who dynamited the express car of the train near Para chute. Colo, Tuesday night, and in the
 battle which followed one of the pur- sued robbers was killed and the other two escaped into Garfield Canon. and at last accounts they were completely surrounded. It is thought that es- cape is impossible. The dead man was brought to this place tonight and identified as one of the three men who worked several days last week on the Denver and Rio Grande section near Parachute. It is reported that at least two hundred men, heavily armed, are watching for the two men in Gar field Canyon tonight. and will shoot them down if they attempt to escape.

Griesser had been sitting, passing through a pad of paper and then continuing its course through the desk into the wall of the building.
 Then took place a struggle between the two men which meant life or death. to at least Mir. Griesser Tight ening h.s hold on the revolver and at the same time grabbing Fences arm. Griesser, who is a stoutly built man., began trying to wrest the wea- pen from his antagonist, who is also a good specimen of physical manhod. In the struggle he managed to turn the gun around until it pointed in Fences face.
 With the gun in this position the two men struggled out in the hall. Griesser calling for help at the top of his voice His cries attracted the attention of Officer Mannen Clements, Henry Bloom and Joe Dunn, who happened to be standing down on San Antonio street near the building The three men ran upstairs and there confronted Pence and Cries ser at the head of the stairway hold ing one another in a death Ike grasp. The three men wrested the gun from
 the struggling men and separated them, pushing Pence aside while
 Greisser ran back into his office.
 Officer Clements, assisted by Mir
 Dunn, then took Pence off to the
 police station. On the way to jai i he stated to the officers that he fired
 the shot at Griesser, thinking that his | life was in danger. He says thai
 when he presented the Bili to dr 1! Griesser. the latter suddenly opened
 a drawer in his desk, and, thinking I that Greisser was going after gun ! he pulled his weapon and pointed i l at him.
 At the police station Pence supple I mented his statement that he made tt l the officers on the way to the jail l by saying that when he first pulled hi. l gun he cooked it and leveled it dowI I on GriesSer. When, however, oe saw
 that Griesser pulled no weapon out O the drawer he started to lower thu  1 gun with the intention of putting it up 4 but at this point, he says, Griessei | grabbed it and in the struggle it wal

 Yesterday. it is said, Pence con- suited with Judge Edwards, attorney for Griesser. about the bill and left in such a huff that Judge Edwards advised Griesser to look out for him.
 Yesterday Mir Griesser swore out two complaints against Pence in Jus tice Marshalfs court, one charging him with assault to murder and the other with intent to rob.
 He then went before Justice Mitch ell and swore out a peace warrant against Pence. At the police station the offense of carrying pistol is also charged against him, making foui charges in all.
 Pence gave bond in all the cases and was released.

 Man Takes Shot
GEORGE PENCE TAKES A SHOT AT 4 BREWERY PRESIDENT.
Presented a Bill for Commissions Claimed to Be Due Him-Mr. Cries ser Denied the Obligation, Where upon Pence Took a hot at Him.

A pistol shot, followed by a wild struggle for the possession of dan gerous looking revolver between two men. attracted a crowd to the third floor of the Coles building Tuesday at 11:30 o'clock. The nasty response of three men who heard the struggle and cries for help doubtless prevented a very serious affray.
 The parties to the excited incident were George Pence, the real estate man, and Wilhelm Griesser, the presi- dent and superintendent of construc- tiOn of the new brewery. The scene of the difficulty was MT. Gresser's office on the third floor of the Coles Block and the man who fired the shot was MT. Pence.
 The stories of the two men are slightly at variance as to how the shooting came on, but that Pence fired the shot is not disputed.
 According to the story of MT. Griesser, this morning at about 11:30 Mir. Pence walked into the formers of flee while he was sitting at his desk, and presented him bill for commis- sion which Pence claimed was due UlIn luC puiN1dot OA PAORNASy -U- Griesser.

 Griesser says that when Pence presented him with the bill, he re piled that he did not owe him anything and that he did not want to see il Immediately, MT. Griesser says. Pence pulled from his pocket a dangerous looking revolver and leveled 1t on nin with the statement that he could pay the bill or take the consequences.
