CITY PARK THE SCENE
OF \ VERY BOLD HOLDUP.

Last night, or rather at an early
hour this morning, a pretty bold
holdup took place in the City park.
A gang of seven men held up two
men at the point of guns and robbed
them OF every cent of money ON their
persons.
Last night a Mexican by the name
of Juan Mascarinas, here for the pur-
pose of registering. was in the Pas
time. a man Joined him, and enter
ing into conversation with him,
asked him to go with him down to
the railroad yards. One of the EN-
ployes in the Pastime advised the
Mexican not to accompany the fell
low. as he was hard-looking char
acter, and might be trying to lead
him into a trap. As result the
Mexican refused to 80 with the fell
low.
Several hours later Mascarinas and
an American named MurdoCk were
down at some point in the southern
part of town. En- route to Main
street on their return trip they
passed through the City park. AS
they were about half way through
the park, they saw seven men sitting
on one of the benches As the two
approached, the men arose, and one
or two of the seven pulled guns and
commanded the Mexican and his
companion to throw up their hands.
which they promptly did. The other
members of the gang then made a
rigid search of Mascarinas and Muir
dock, relieving them of over SIS.
The gang then told them they could
go, and they themselves made their
escape.
The Mexican and his companion
at once notified the officers. and a
search for the bold highwaymen was
instituted.
Later in the evening, about the
time for the midnight trains from the
east to arrive, man approached DR..
Price, one OF the special night Of
fiCers, evidently with the intention of
going through Prices pockets. How
ever, he did not know his man, and
surely did not know that Dr.. Price
was police officer. The first sus-
picious move the fellow made the
officer placed him under arrest and
brought him to the city jail. The
two men who had been held up in
the park at once Identified the man
as one of the gang of holdups.
The fellow gives his name as Red -
Campbell. He is an entire stranger
here, and evidently he and his com
panions came to Grand Junction with
the intention of perpetrating robber-
les.
Campbell. according to the state
ments of Mascarinas and Murdoch,
seemed to be the leader OF the gang.
His arrest is fortunate, and Dr.. Price
is to be congratulated upon his cap
ture.
The holdup was one of the boldeat
that ever took place in the city.
Several instances have come TO
light where, during the last few
days. attempts have been made at
night by certain parties to entice
men to the outskirts of the city, evil
lently for the purpose of leading
them into a trap, and it is thought
that this gang was the one that did
the work I'm the City park last night.

BuNCo MAN AT WORK.

This morning a Russian laborer.
hardly able to speak word of Eng
1ish. appeared at the city hall and
told a story OF how he had been bun
coed by some oily-tongued CRATER.
The man says that he came to
town yesterday looking for work and
met a man who told him that his
name was Robinson and that he was
superintendent of the Book Cliff Coal
mines. He asked the Russian If he
wanted work and the latter told him
he was in search of employment.
The Russian had a number of tools
and S27.5O in cash. Robinson told
him that he would reqnire a deposit
i'm order to guarantee that the work
man would be on hand. He induc-
ed the Russian TO let him have the
$3.50 and the tools, gave him re
ceipt for same signed &C. Robinson
Supt. Book Gin Mines, and told
him to report for work Monday. He
further informed the Russian that
the money and tools would be re-
turned to him an the end of the first
week. impressing upon the man the
fact that he required a similar de
posft from every fellow he employ
ed.
OF course the Russian never saw
Robinson" again. This morning he
went down to the Book Clih yards
and informed Manager Phillips of
the contract he had made. Phillips
told him that he had been buncoed
and sent him to see the officers.
The man finally found the officers
and told them his troubles.
The Russian tells a straight story,
and has an honest look, and there is
no doubt that some swindler has TAX
EN- advantage of the ignorance of the
Door laborer as to the ways OF the
world and aecced him out Of his
hard-earned cash.

for the crowds. they
are very much surprised. The re-
ports scattered along the railroad
lines that the town is crowded and
are poor have done
the town much injury. There never
have been any grounds for such re-
ports. Everybody that has come to
Grand Junction TO register has Sc
cured comfortable quarters at most
reasonable prices.
NO disorder whatever was reported
last night. 1t has been necessary
to make but few arrests during the
registration days and all of these
with possibly two exceptions, We're
for minor onenses.
The total registration at Grand
Junction for Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday is 400, and today S
registration will run the total to at
least 5000. Conservative estimates
OF the total for the II days would
be 1900. Many think it will 90
as high as 5000 while others do
not think il will exceed 1900.
People are coming to the city at
about the average of 500 every "a
hours, and going out at about the
same rate. People who have regis
tered are leaving here daily for the
reservation on a tour OF inspection.
Many think that the largest crowds
will come TO the city to register next
week. Reports from various points
tell of large delegations that are
coming during the last six days. Hun
dreds of people will come in on Au-
gust s. the date of the next eNcur-

Commissioner Richards, when he

way:
when a man files on his land, he
should be prepared to put in his ap-

he has done everything he can and
placed himself in the right position" "

THE IRON AND METAL TRADES.
1.-THE Iron Age" says:


New business has been rather light In nearly all
branches of the iron and steel trades and in some
of them, what is virtually a deadlock between buy
ers and sellers continues Yet there is little un-
easiness in any quarter. On the contrary, senti-
that is tangible in the way of orders justify
it. In pig iron there come reports, from some dis
tributing markets, that inquiries little more
numerous, but the tonnage being placed is light,
and buyers securing some concessions in prices.

delivery aggregating l000 tons. but the market is
easier, and $12 is being shaded for No. 2 foundry.
