Letter from Long m ont, Colorado

Dec. II, 1906. Editor Sheaf
Warren, MINI.
Dear Sir: I saw a letter in your
paper from Lyman P. Weld. He
touched on the climate situation
and told you about your friends
that left Warren for this part of
Colorado. I want to tell you about
city run without saloons. I have
lived here Is months and have seen
only one man drunk in Longmonu,
City of 5000 inhabitants. If l go
to small town where there is
saloons I see dozen men drunk in
one day. There is such town near
Longmont, Boozeville. My daughter
and I passed Boozeville Sunday on
way to the cemetery. If they had
named it Shanty town they would
have hit the mark for it Was a hard
looking place. If the four saloons
were shut out the place would have
hundred fine cottages built in less
than year. 1t is a lovely town-site
with most beautiful view OF Longs
Peak but twenty miles distance.
Longmont voted out saloons three
to one, now why can't Warren do
the same. Are you not paying too
big price for privilege Of having
your city disgraced? Two suicides
in six months. When l read of Chas.
Klingborg's death l thought the
price too high. Charles was my
frie nd, a good mechanic, a kind
father, but the saloon was open to
him and he hung himself to escape
the bondage. Don't I know, I have
been there. Charles was a very low
ing father and very meek. He bought
things for his children and he loved
his family, but the saloon door was
loo near his shop and he fell another
victim. Aren't you paying too high
for your privileges?
Yours truly,
E. Slee.

TRAGEDY IN a box CAR.
Charred Body Found and Posse Kills
the Supposed Murderer.

A dispatch frem Pendleton, Ore, gives
an account of the mysterious burning OF
a freight car near Foster and the death
of two persons, one of whom is thought
TO have been murdered. The other was
shot by a member of sherif's posse in
the belief that he was the murderer. The
car contained the household goods and
two horses of COL S. w. Taylor, COM
mandant at Fort Worden, Wash. 1t was
in charge of Private William Wilson,
Twenty-ffth battery, coast artillery, and
was on the way from Fort Riley, Kan.
to Port Townsend, Wash. According TO
Wilson's statement, while he was curry
ing one of the horses the other morning
the animal kicked him, causing insensi-
bility. When ne revived, he says, he
found the car on FIRE. He turned the
horses out and they were killed in falling
to the ground. Wilson says he then made
his way to the caboose, where he notified
the trainmen, who cut the car out at Eos
ter Siding. After the car had been left
a body fell out. A man who had been on
the train declared that two tramps were
riding in the car, and that both had been
burned to death. This man escaped. A
sheriff's posse followed him and ran down
a man near Pine City, few miles west
Of Foster, who was thought to be the
fugitive. When ordered to surrender he
made a motion as if to draw a revolver
and was fatally wounded by Otis Nc
Carly. Before he died the man gave the
name of John Condley of Pendleton. 1t
is said he IS not the one for whom the
posse was hunting.

PLAGUE IN a1uMMIEs.
Scientist Says Wrappings Are Alive
with TubercuIar BaciIIi.


"Egyptology Versus Health" was the
title of monograph received at the head
quarters Of the tuberculosis Institute of
Chicago the other day, in which it was al
legged that the great spread of tubercu-
iosis in Europe and America in the last
100 years found its causation in the dis
lnterment and shipment broadcast over
the land of the mummies which had re-
posed so long in the tombs of the Pha-
raohs. The monograph was written by
DIR. Rafaelle Sorgnac one Of the lectur
ers. at the Sorbonne in Paris, who was an
interested visitor at the recent tubercu-
loslS exhibit in this city. THAT the dis
inferred mummies started the spread of
the tuberculosis germs in Egypt cannot be
doubted" says DIR. Sorgnac in his mono
graph. "Champollion did much for the
world when he discovered the key to the
hieroglyphs, but loosed death on the
world when he caused the mummies to be
disentombed. The tuberculosis germs live
for thousands of years, as has easily been
proven, and the exhumation of the bodies,
even the well-preserved ones, caused an
epidemic of consumption among the work
men and scholars who first exhumed the
cases. 1t is also well known that the
keepers of the mummy cases have been
subject to the disease. The start of tu-
berculosis in France in serious sense
may be traced to the great Importation of
mummies and mummy cases at the time
OF the Napoleonic invasion of Egypt and
this start gave the disease its first great
foothold in Europe, whence it has spread
all over the western world

Vice Admiral KuZmich, commander of

saying that he could not agree to their
leaving work at 2 o'clock and the matter
was left open.
About 80 a. M, according to an Off
Ger who was at the gate of the works. the
admiral was emerging from small shop
in the works when a workman, who had
been concealed around the corner of the
building, leaped on Kuzmich from behind
and drove a long dagger into his back.

Immediately. The assassin fed into a
large forge, where he was lost among the
men employed there. The works were
promptly surrounded by troops mad police,
but the search for the murderer was un-
awaiting, his comrades processing ignor-
ance of his identity.
The police say it is evident that the
assassination of the admiral had been
planned in advance. The dagger which
was found on the spot was concealed in
a stick, like a sword cane.
Among the workmen are many former
sailors and revolutionists. Kuzmich had
bad reputation among the workmen, be-
ing regarded as hard and despotic.

TRUSTED EMpLoYE RUINS FIRM.
philadelphia Brokers Fail Owing to
EmbezzIenent of SI5O,OO0.

EmbezzIement of 100000.
Thefts, continuing over a period of sew
eral years and aggregating S150,000, caus-
ed the downfall of the brokerage firm of
Harrison Snyder Co. at Philadelphia.
According to a dispatch Edwin S. Green
field, for twenty years an empioye of the
firm, is said to have confessed to en-
bezzling the funds of the firm. He was
arrested and taken to Moyamensing pris-
on. Greenfield was confidential clerk for
several years and co-executor of the es-
tate of the late Harrison Snyder. When
taxed with the thefts he is said to have
broken down and said he had lost the
money specializing. A petition in invol-
un-ary bankruptcy was fled against Har-
risen Snyder & Co. Greenfeld's duplic-
lty, as reported, makes a story of cold
blooded betrayal of implicit trust, almost
without parallel. When he left school at
the age OF is, a poor boy, Harrison Sny-
der gave him position as clerk. His APP
parent reliability was recognized by adj
vancement until at the time of the death
OF the older Snyder, in 1902, Greenfield
held the position of senior clerk. AS evil
dence of the regard in which he was held
ne was made co-executor of the estate.
His defalcation, according to his alleged
confession, had begun two years before
that time. The man is now only % years
old. lie has beautiful home in the ex-
elusive suburb of Amber, where he has a
wife and two young daughters. There he
was received in the best families, was a
regular attendant at the Episcopal church
and was highly regarded.

FIND HEADLESS BODY.
GREWSoME DISCOVERY MADE
IN MADISON, ILL.
Corpse, Which Had Lain I'm CesspOoI
for Several Months, Bears No
Marks of VfOIence-Court Rules
Against Ohio Auditors.

The headless body of a man was found
in pool in the rear Of a Madison, H.,
saloon, not far from where John Hickey,
an overland traveller TO Oklahoma, was
sandbagged and killed recently. The body
was taken to an undertaking establish
ment in Granite City. The absence of the
head, it is believed, indicates that the
man was murdered by an injury to the
head and that it was removed TO prevent
Identification. No marks Of violence were
found on the body itself. 1t is believed
the clothing may lead to Identification.
The body evidently had lain in the pool
for several months. Several negroes had
been put to work at cleaning the pool and
they discovered the body. A stiff Nat
was also found in the pool. Coroner
Streeper said he would at once begin an
investigation
