On the 18th of May, 1859 Denver
turned out to welcome the first through
coach OF what was destined to grow
into the Overland Mail" an enterprise
which for sheer American pluck and
daring must be forever linked with the
fame of the Pony Express Red
shirts drifted TO the outskirts of the
hamlet and dotted the hills around.
Hard faced bartenders made ready for
the hottest night that ever tore the
camp loose" The artillery of holster
and saddle boot was unlimbered for an
ecstatic fusillade. There was lively
betting in dust and nuggets that the
hrst through stage had been gathered
in by Indians with takers as eager TO
stake their faith that the scalps of
driver and guard would come through
intact At length Il swirl of dust show
ed far down the trail 1t grew into a
yellow cloud that crept toward the
eager hamlet Then six mules, stretch
ed out on the gallop, emerged from
this curtain, and behind them was the
numbering, swaying stage come safely
through on time. and Denver was in
touch with the world where men wore
white shirts and lived In real houses.
The cheers that roared welcome to
this heroic enterprise We're echoed in
every western town which hoped and
longed for 4 link Of its own with the
home country, "way back east."-Out-

writing the Likins letter. 1t said
on Saturday:
''Mr. Emery's letter is much too

have been terse, and it says many
things which had better have been
left unsaid for the advantage of the
writer and the cause.

think, to accept for himself in the

A FATAL SNOWSLIDE
One men KILLED and PROPERTY
DESTROYED NEAR OURAY, col.
Camp Bird Mining Company Mill De-
stroyed and Loss viii Be over $780,
ooo-T~o Men Injured and Second
Slide Occurred in Evening, Making
a Clean Sweep.

Pueblo, Col, March ia special
to the Chieftain from Ouray says:
A snowslide at 1 o'clock Sunday
morning killed one man, injured two
and damaged property belonging to
the Camp Bird Mining company to the
extent of 100000. William Cressey
was caught in the slide and Instantly
killed, and William Albright and a man
by the name of Stickney were injured,
but not seriously. The Camp Bird mill,
which had recently been installed at
cost of over 100000; the reading
room of the mill and IA strands of
tramway were carried down with the
slide.
In the evening a second snowslide
occurred, which carried away the an
gle station, the shed building Of the
Camp Bird dump, the blacksmith shop,
storeroom where all the provisions
were kept and two miles of the camp
Bird tram
The destruction of the provision
house cuts off the food supply. The
$50 men employed in the mine, fearing
other slides might come, have taken
refuge in the tunnel. Preparations are
being made to rescue the men or get
provisions to them before the snow
makes it impossible to reach them.
In addition to those mentioned
above, slides have run among the
mountains around Ouray. The lines
Of communication have been interrupt
ed to the following mines:
The Bankers National, employing 80
men; the Revenue, employing 200
men; the Atlas, employing 16 men;
the Camp Bird, employing $50 men,
and the San Pedro, employing 100
men.
During the afternoon a slide took
out the power line of the Animas Min
ing company Later a second slide
took three quarters of mile of the
Telluride power plant, which furnishes
power to the Revenue, San Pedro and
Atlas mines
The Camp Bird clubhouse was one
of the finest ever built for similar
purpose. Camp Bird is the mine sold
by Thomas Walsh, the millionaire mine
owner, several years ago, to an Eng
fish company.

Caldwell-The sensational allega-
tions made against A. B. Moss, fore
man of the grand jury which indicted
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone, were
not sustained when testimony in the
matter was taken before Judge Frank
Smith. Mr.. Moss testified that he had
talked with no one about the case
outside of the juryroom and that he
never had expressed any opinion as
to the guilt or innocence of the &C.
cused men.
Afldavits of Governor Gooding and
Attorney James H. Hawley, denying
that they had had any conversation
with Moss in regard to the evidence
in the Steunenberg case, as alleged
by the defense, also were introduced.
The motion of the defense to quash
the indictments was denied.
The questions raised by the defense
on demurrer were argued at length
and were taken under advisement by
Judge Smith, as was the question OF
admitting the defendants to bail.

SPORTING NOTES.

Umpire Jack Sheridan announces
that he has signed his 1906 contract
with the American league and would
leave for the east next week.
Joe Cans of Baltimore decisively
defeated Mike (Twin) Sullivan of Bos.
ton Saturday at Los Angeles in 10
rounds. While Sullivan was not
counted out he was on the floor and
practically helpless when the police
instructed the referee to end the
fight.
Splendid progress was made by the
committee which has in charge the
collection of subscriptions for the
proposed Helena club in the North
western league fathered by w. H
Lucas.
Harry Berthong, who, in 1868, ran
the bases in IA IA seconds, making
the record, which has stood for nearly
40 years, disputes the claim of Marty
Hogan that he ran the bases in 10 10
seconds. He says that the perform
ance credited to Hogan is physical
impossibility.
Noah Brusso, the fighter, who, un-
der the ring name of Tommy Burns
made show of Marvin Hart at Los
Angeles February %, is one of the
most unique characters seen in the
square circle in years Brusso is a
French Canadian, being born at Han.
over, Ont, "a years ago. The pugilist
came from a good family and adopted
ring career to the great chagrin OF
his parents However, there was nc
keeping the boy out of the prize ring
as he was so completely fascinated
by the sport that he was profes.
sional boxer before he realized it.
Brusso is one of the best all round
athletes in the business.
A great number of the eastern base
ball players are drafted from the west
ern league. There is hardly an east
ern team without several western
players. On many teams they are in
the majority.

Rockefeller Located.

John D. Rockefeller, for four months
a fugitive from process servers, has
been located in his home at Lake
wood, N. j. He was in conference to-
day with his personal counsel, s. C..
T. Dodd, former general counsel for
the Standard Oil Company.
Dodd came to Lakewood yesterday
and at once went to the Rockefeller
house. He spent the afternoon there
and was again in consultation with
Mr.. Rockefeller today. 1t is understood
the conference referred to the hear
ing in the suits brought against the
Standard Oil company by the state Of
Missouri which will be resumed in
five days. Mr.. Rockefeller is practi-
cally a prisoner in his home. His es-
tate is patrolled night and day by
armed guards, who have orders to
shoot any one found on the grounds
after dark.
Searchlights mounted on a tower
sweep the place all night. One reason
assigned for such extraordinary pre-
cautions is that the richest man in
the world is in constant dread of kid
napers; he fears he will be taken cap
tive for ransom. Mr.. Rockefeller has
resigned his Office as trustee in the
Fifth Avenue Baptist church. The
reason given is poor health.

property loss is $4,000.
The entire town was laid waste by
the flames, and the little population
had to flee for safety. They arrived at
Lynden and were afforded temporary
relief, but it is uncertain how lasting
this will be, as the flames are creep

flames had been slowly gathering for
hours. Then they commenced to in

noon it became apparent that the town
was in the path of the fire and doom

gether their valuables and other eff
fects that could be carried and made
haste toward Lynden.
There are three single mills be-
tween Northwood and Lynden which
it will be impossible to save, as they
are directly in the path of the fire.
The loss to farmers is also great, as
many buildings near Custer and Fern
dale are completely wiped out. So far
no reports of loss of life have been re-
