suddenly pulled chair out from the
table and sat down in it, At the same
instant he displayed a huge army re
yolyer. Bill made noise between 1t
grOan and gasp and stretched forth
his hand for his own weapon, but to
touch it was death, and he shrank
back.
I've been listening at the door," said
Murdoch calmly, "and I've sized this
thing up. | saw this fellow prowling

He waved his enormous revolver
gently to emphasize this remark, and
then, taking the burglars cheap weap-
on in his left hand he looked at it with
contempt.
Expected to do me up with this
thing, eh?" said he. We'll, you are a
back number. Say, why didn't you
bring an injunction? Then you'd have
been up to date. If I'd tried to take
that away from you I'd really have
been in trouble, and old man Harrison
would have paid you for serving it.
He'd have paid you twenty times what
that stuff is worth" And he pointed
with Bills revolver at the silverware
upon the table.

that's what you are. You're a jailbird

he answered the question by fiinging
it on the table.

"Oh, yes, you are" responded Muir

now he added more seriously, Il

He rose and motioned to Bill to do
the like. The burglar moved heavily,
as If he were old and II, while Muir

He stepped with heavy and despond-

went stumbling and staggering along

men got under the darkest shadow of
the trees to let him pass, and he did
not see them. They were Murdocks

ROMANS DENIAL.
Says He Was Not in La Junta at the
Time Of Independenee Explosion.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 13-The local
officers are much interested in what
Robert Roman will have to say after
he has talked with his wife, Roman
has said several times that he would
tell something as soon as he had
talked with his wife.
1t Is expected that an officer will be
here from Colorado to talk with Ro-
main and that the officer may have a
requisition on Governor Bailey.
Roman says that the stories pub
lished to the effect that he was In La
Junta at the time Of the blowing up of
the depot at independence are all
fakes. He says that his statement can
be verified by Colorado officers, and
expects they will do this at once. In
the Jail tonight Roman said:
This talk about me being in La
Junta is all bosh. The men who make
that statement are interested in the
case. and their action is natural. /

not in Cripple Creek at the time the

Roosevelt Coming West.

Denver, Sept. 13.-The Republican
this morning says: President Theodore
Roosevelt is anticipating a couple of
weeks of diversion among the bears
and mountain lions of Wyoming some
time during the late fall or early win.
ter The President has already ar
ranged with John B. Golf, the famous
guide of the Western slope, to go with
him, the guide to select the country to
be hunted over.
The President has set no particular
time for the trip, his letters merely
stating that he intended taking a hunt
as soon as the busy season was over"
These words are taken as meaning
that he will go on his hunt shortly
after the presidential election, in order
to get rest from the hard work of
that time.

Moffat Road Carrying Cattle.

Denver, Sept. pa morning paper
says: They are shipping cattle from
Rollins pass on the continental divide
Stockmen of North Park and Middle
Park are busy driving the herds to
market and loading them on freight
cars for the long slide down hill to
Denver. Twelve cars of stock came
to the Denver yards last night from
Rollins pass and this average number
will come each day from now on until
10000 head have been taken out OF
Rollins pass and Arrowhead.
Every car that comes from the yards
at Rollins pass must have steel
wheels. The long slide from the sum
nit to Mammoth and from Mammoth
to Denver heats car wheel of iron
to white heat from the constant fric-
ton of the brakes. Unless steel
wheel is used the cooling process,
when the cars stop, viii so impair the
iron as to make it dangerous to take
the wheel on another trip. Every
passenger car and freight car on the
Moffat road that is supplied with
brakes for sliding down the heavy in
cline has the best steel wheel that can
be bought.

Denver, Sept. 13.-On September
goth another and very important con-
struction contract on the Moffat road
will be let. being for grading from Ar
rowiiead to Hot Sulphur Springs This
will be the first OF number of big con
tracts that will be let soon.
The contract will call for the expen-
diture of 100000 and will be for TWEEN
ty-fye miles, including all the section
between Arrowhead and Hot Sulphur
Springs except Fraser canon.
DuHphy & Nelson, who have the con-
tract for the grading in Fraser canon,
have been at work for some time and
are progressing rapidly. This is the
heaviest part Of the work and they will
have their work finished early in the
spring.
The contract for the rest of the
grading between Arrowhead and Hot
Sulphur Springs will call for work to
begin October LIST, and that it must be

tourist rush for Hot Sulphur Springs
begins. The springs are situated in
one of the picturesque sections of
Colorado and it is said that the Moffat
road will make it one of the big resorts
of the state. BY the railroad it will be
possible to get to Hot Sulphur Springs
from Denver and back in day, the
time each way being only about four
hours, as against three days for the
round trip now.
The county commissioners of Grand
county have put to work force Of men
on the Gore pass road in connection
with force of men working in Routt
county to shorten and improve the
wagon and stage road between Hot
Sulphur Springs and Steamboat
Springs, and 1t will shorten the dis.
lance fifteen miles between Arrowhead
and Steamboat Springs
This new road will be desirable for
passengers and freight and staging AS
soon as the Moffat road reaches Arrow
head, which will be this week, stage
service will be established between
Arrowhead and Hot Sulphur Springs
and Steamboat Springs. This brings
both towns much closer to Denver and
by an easy road.
