Lost His Mind Over Lynehiags

Bob Faust, colored, 80 years of age,
of the Greenwood section has gone
crazy, thinking over the recent lynch
ings, and announced that he would
assault every woman he met. Three
times he attacked colored women and
was driven away without doing them
injury, and at last he entered the
premises of Benjamin King, white
farmer, living in the Coronaca Sec
tion, loudly proclaiming that he meant
to assault the women of the place.
He had a gun, but King succeeded in
disarming him, and later, securely
bound him, he was taken to Green
wood, apparently raving maniac.

Farmers, hold your cotton. T here
is no use to sell at present prices, for
it is bound to go up before long. All
you have to DO is to stand firm. The
spectators expect you to flood the
market with new cotton, but don't do
it. There is no reason why cotton
should not bring an average price of
eleven cents this season.

The widespread winter storm has

UNDER MIGHTY AVALANCHE
At Least One Life Lost and Terrible
Destruction at Camp Bird Mine,
Near Ouray, Col.

Ouray, Gol.-An almost unprecedented
snow slide in the Mount Sneffels dis
trict, six miles south Of Ouray, Satur-
day night, wrecked the Camp Bira mine
mill, tram house, boarding house and
reading room. William Gressey is
known to have been killed, and it is
feared that other lives we're lost. A
number of men, 1t is reported, were Sc
riously injured. The property loss is
estimated at from 100000 to 100000.
The Camp Bird bunk house, adjoining
the reading room, which was wrecked,
narrowly escaped being engulfed and
crushed. There were about $50 miners
and mill employees in this building when
the slide came down. The residence Of
General Manager Cox also escaped de-
struction by a narrow margin. The
slide had largely spent its force before
reaching the assay shops and general
offices of the Camp Bird mine.
