Tragedy at Denver Dance.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 27.-James Ham
ilton Rothwell, nineteen years old, en-
gineer on the Colorado & Southern,
son of DR.. Edward ]. Rothwell, and &
cousin of Young Corbett," was shot
and mortally wounded last night about
II o'clock Gu the sidewalk in front OF
Normal daace hall, 1543 Glenarm
street, by Patrolman Emerson L. Nc
kinnon, special officer detailed for
duty at dance that was being given
in the hall above by the Bachelors
club.
Albert Rothwell, student, brother of
the wounded young man, sixteen years
old, was badly beaten over the head
with a pistol by officer McKinnon i'm
mediately preceding the shooting, and
in the midst of a melee that had
swamped the policeman. The latter
was being beaten, it is said, by the
Rothwells and six or more other boys
in the crowd with them.
James Rothwell had snatched Patrol
man McKinnon's billy from him and
was whacking him over the head, by
ISLANDERS say, when the officer pulled
his gun and, almost knocked down,
fired towards James feet The ball,
however, penetrated the abdomen, in
ficting mortal wound.

CHAPTER VIII.
The Nihilist Rendezvous.

A long, low room, with heavy wood
en- rafters supporting the ceiling,
which was grimed and blacked by
the smoke of a dozen oil lamps.
4 room with a hot sitting, suffo-
eating atmosphere-ther result of the
smoking lamps, the fumes of tobacco
and an almost red-hot stove, which
had raised the temperature to an un-
comfortable, almost an unsupportable
degree.
A long table. upon which was scat
tered a miscellaneous collection of
implements, couple of rude benches,
chair or two, and some rough boxes,
utilized as seats, constituted most OF
the furnishings.
The half-dozen steps, leading up to
heavily barred door, indicated that
the room was cellar, and the two
small windows, both with heavy shut
tiers of solid wood, which We're only a
few inches higher than the bottom of
the door. were of apparently little
practical use, either for light or ven
tilation.

on which the events described in the
last chapter occurred. some twelve or
fifteen men and three women. Their
faces. darkened even beyond their nat
ural color by the smoke and CRIME
were marked by suppressed excite
ment. while their conversation ami
mated in the extreme. was carried on
in that suppressed way suggestive Of
extreme caution and ceaseless appre-
hension.
Not that all were talking.
There were workers there, men who
toiled and delved and whose grimy
hands, hard and knotted, gave evil
dence that theirs had been no child's
play. A long coil of wire. some cleo
trical instruments, and some curiously
suggestive metal globes. were some
of the objects on the table of which
mention has already been made.
The conversation, after an interval
of silence. had begun again.

ARMIES AT The FRONT
VAST BODIES READY TO FIGHT
Both Sides Largely Reinforced-Jap-
anese Firmly Established
in Manchuria.

Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, Aug. IS
Intelligence of the constitutional
grants by the government has been re-
ceiyed by the army and general infor-
nation relating to department affairs
continues to reach here from three to
ten days late.
Since the Japanese reconnoitered the
Russian center about twenty-five or
thirty miles on August 10th, which re-
suited in retaliatory sliirmishing as
well as the checkmating of a wide
movement of considerable bodies of
troops throughout three days, nothing
important has occurred.
During the long quiet there have
been reinforcements to both sides, CIV
ing the the theater of war much
changed appearance. The front has
been greatly extended, made possible
by the use of wireless telegraph and
because of the unexampled sized OF tho
armies, the character of the third stage
of the war, whether it be general hos
tilities or the garrisoning of contested
territory, will be complicated.
The relative positions of the two
armies is comparable to that of year
ago and the country Immediately fac
ing the Japanese is almost identical
Lao Yang.
The acquisition OF the railway and
rivers by the Japanese at Mukden, to-
gether with their Feng Wang Cheng
communications and General Kawa-
mura's new line of communication and
defense, moved from the head of navi-
cation on the Yalu river across to
Kaiyuan, with the occupation of the
Chang Paishan mountain region,
makes control of the administration of
South Manchuria as complete as that
achieved in the North. By similar or
ganization and rapid consolidation of
these connections, the destiny of Man.
churia is closely fixed regardless Of
other influences.
The Associated Press correspondent

old imperial hunting reserve Oh the
east flank of which was opened to set.

crops of oil beans, millet, maise, in

tensively secuted by the Japanese,

NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT.
Great Hosts of Grand Army of the Re.
public Coming to Denver.

Denver, Aug. 2S.-Next week the
streets of Denver will be swarming
with people. Not less than $4,000
are to be provided for in this city, and
unless the public awakens to the re.
sponsibility that will be imposed upos
it to keep its promises of entertaining
this vast throng from all parts of the
United States, it will find that it has
invited guests and forgotten to provide
the promised hospitality.
Officials of the Santa Fe road alone
have stated to the executive commit.
tee of the G. A. r. that it is preparing
to bring in $1,000 from the state Of
Kansas alone, while the Union Pacific
says it will bring in 10000 from the
same state.
More than a month ago the chair
man of the Western Traffic Association
stated that $4,000 people had already
booked for the trip, and since then
thousands more have signified their
intention of being here.
Perhaps 100000 persons will be here.
The Union Depot Company will build
two large baggage platforms to handle
the encampment traffic alone, and will
install forty-four extra baggagemen,
who will work on regular shifts night
and day. Besides that ]. G. Campbell,
baggagemaster at the depot, says that
fully 100 extra men will have to be en-
gagged to work through tie encamp.
ment week.
Every hotel and roomlng house and
private home will be taxed to provide
quarters. The hotels will turn ordi.
naries and bathrooms into dormitories
and install cots. All the school houses
will be turned into sleeping quarters
! for the soldiers, and 5000 mattresses
alone have been contracted for to fur
nisb free beds to the soldiers who are
coming who could not afford to make
the trip if they had to meet all of these
expenses.
