President Reaches Home.

Washington. May 13.-President
Roosevelt reached home at midnight
Thursday night from his Western trip.
which he regards as one of the most
enjoyable journeys he has taken since
he has been President. He travelled
6.006 miles and passed through twelve
states and three territories-Marylan
Fennsylvania, Ohio. Kentucky, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri, Kansas. Indian Ter
ritory, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico.
Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa.
Every state and territory in the
United States except Florida and Ar
kansas have been visited by Mr.. Roose-
welt since he became President, and it
is his intention to accept the hospital
ity of these states before his term is
finished. 1t is probable that he will
make tour of the South some time
before the convening of Congress in
the fall.
The demonstrations at every point
where the President spoke are said by
the official members of the party to
have been the heartiest that have been
accorded him on any trip.

Pierce was an employe of Rothschild
& Co.. as driver of delivery wagon.
He was shot by Special Deputy Sheriff
+. 7. Waldorf. He is the only union
man who has lost his life during the

a martyr to the cause. Pierce is said
to have assaulted a non-union driver
in the presence of Waldorf. Waldorf

LAKE GEORGE CUTOFF
DENVER & CRIPPLE CREEK LINE
New Route Planned by Colorado G.
Southern-From Platte Canon to
Great Gold Camp,

Denver, May 15.-The News this
morning says: Cripple Creek is to be
within two hours of Denver. instead
of five. as at present. the distance to
be reduced from 13l miles to less than
ninety. This is what the Lake George
cutoff of the Colorado a. Southern will
do toward bringing the principal
points of Colorado closer together.
Four years ago the proposed cutoff
was surveyed. and II was the intention
to build it then. The change in the
ownership of a number of the Colo
rado railroads changed this. however,
and the plan was practically given
up. although It was realized that ii
would be of untold benefit not only to
the great gold camp, but to Denver as
well.
Now that the Colorado G. Southern
has perfected all Of Its plans for be-
coming great continental system,
this cut in both the running distance
and the time will be put into effect as
soon as the new road can be built.
The cutoff will probably begin at
Dome Rock. on the Leadville branch
OF the Colorado & Southern. Dome
Rock is thirty-two miles from Denver.
and from there a cutoff of forty-two
miles will be run straight across the
country, meeting the Colorado Midland
road at Lake George. From there 1t
is about ten miles into Cripple Creek.
This is not the only extension
planned by the Colorado & Southern.
AS foretold in the News. the intention
is to make 1t a transcontinental line,
reaching from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific. 1t is to carry out these plans
and to look the ground over that Presi-
dent b. l.. Winchell OF the Rock
Island. who is also interested in the
Colorado & Southern. will arrive in
Denver to-day or tomorrow with
party of railroad men. In the party
is w. II. Moore of Moore Bros. who

Young Man Commits Suicide.

Denver, May 13.-A Republican spe
cial from Golden last night says: Be
cause he loved in vain, Roy Arnold. a
ranch hand who for several months
had been employed in the Ralston
creek neighborhood. about seven miles
northeast of Golden, committed sui
eide to-day by swallowing carbolic
acid in front of the house where the
girl he loved lived.
Arnold was desperately in love with
Miss Bessie Hansen, a pretty young
girl who lives with her parents near
Ralston crossing. Last night he went
to see her and on her refusal to accept
him he left the house in a despondent
frame of mind. This morning he pro,
cured a bottle of carbolic acid and pro.
ceeding to,the Hansen home again, sat
down by the roadside and swallowed
the poison.
A passerby found him in an uncon,
scious condition and notified Coroner
Davidson, who. with physician, went
to the scene, finding Arnold still alive.
He was removed to the hospital at the
county poor farm, but although every
effort was made to save his life he did
not regain consciousness, dying at g. 40
this evening.
