REVOLUTION IS
At A STANDSTILL
WHEN THEY SAW HOW MUCH IN
EARNEST UNCLE SAM WAS
THEY QUIT FIGHTING.

Special to the Herald.
Washington, D. c., Sept. 17.-De-
spite the fact that the battleships
Louisiana, New Jersey and Virginia
have been ordered to Key West,
where final orders to continue to
Cuba may await them on arrival, navy
officers are sanguine, and think the
Cuban revolution is practically at a
standstill. Naval officers say the
Cubans made a spectacular exhibition
to show themselves fit for selfgovern-
ment, but when they found how much
in earnest Uncle Sam is, both sides
became frightened, and are doing
their best to come to an agreement
before the arrival of Roosevelt's ennis
saries.
Sleeper. at Havana, advises the
state department that the insurgents
have agreed to temporarily stop fight
ing until conference between govern
ment and the rebels can be held, and
the result laid before Taft on his ar
rival.

FREIGHT WRECKS
AND CARS BURN
FOURTEEN CARS DESTROYED
NEAR PRICES SWITCH YEsTER-
DAY.-No ONE WAS HURT.

Yesterday afternoon a very serious
freight wreck occurred near Prices
Switch, a few miles north of this city,
in which fourteen cars we're wrecked
and burned.
The wrecked train was one that
left this city at o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and the wreck occurred
about an hour after the train left this
city.
1t is thought a broken axle was re-
sponsible for the wreck. and when
the cars piled up in a heap a car of
gasoline became ignited. and the four
teen wrecked cars were burned.
Conductor Charley Stewart was re-
ported hurt, but proved to be only
bruised up and stunned. Just after
the wreck he was dicovered in the
woods near the right-of-way, wander
ing around, grip in hand, in a dazed
condition. He was conveyed to the
shade of a tree, and was soon re-
vived. and was able to assist at the
wreck.
Several of the wrecked and burned
cars were loaded with costly mer-
chandise. and the loss to the company
is a very heavy one.
All traffic was stopped for several
hours, as three or four hundred feet
of the track was destroyed, and the
telegraph wires were all down.
The regular passenger from the
north, due here at G:35, did not reach
the city until 2:1O this morning, and
other trains have been more or less
delayed today. The wrecker and a
large force of men are at the wreck.

SUPPOSED TO HAVE
COMMITTED SUICIDE.

J. W. Lawrence, veterinary sur
geon who has made his headquarters
at the Eclipse Livery stables for the
last six weeks OF two months, died in
his lodgings at 231 River street shortly
after O'Clock Monday night under
circumstances that indicate self-de-
struction, although the acquaintances
OF the dead man are unable to assign
any reason for the rash act
While ordinarily sober man, Law
renee became intoxicated soon after
the beginning of the fair last week
and remained from that time until his
death in drunken stupor. In his
room was found a bottle labeled
''laudanum." and 1t is believed that be
had taken about four ounces of the
drug during the last six or seven days.
He had visited Canon City at intervals
for two or three years, but was never
before known to get drunk nor was
he suspected OF Incorporate habits of
any kind.
Lawrence came here from Rocky
Ford and has relatives living at thst
place. He and his wife separated
last April. but whether they had been
divorced or not It has been impossible
to ascertain. The dead man was a
skilled and successful veterinarian and
is reputed to the owner OF valuable
property in Pennsylvania and other
eastern states. He spent number
of years in California. and. according
to his own account, was engaged with
his son in the grocery business in
that state. He is said to have inher-
tied large farm in Pennsylvania and
to have owned a highly profitable sum
mer resort in that part OF the country.
In accordance with instructions re-
ceived by telephone from daughter
of the deceased at Rocky Ford this
morning the remains were taken to
whltmore's undertaking parlors where
they were prepared for burial and
where they are being held pending
the arrival of relatives from Otero

ty-eight years of age.

and hurled him to one side of the
track The wagon was completely
wrecked, only one unbroken wheel
being left, and the lumber scattered
in every direction Fortunately the
horse he was driving was uninjured,
although how 1t escaped is little short
of miraculous.

was placed in carriage and taken to
his home on Four Mile where a physi-
clan was summoned to attend him. He

been awarded more Demorest medals
in W. c. T U. declamatory contests
than any young lady of her age west

weeks later she was awarded gold

WERE SHOT AT FROM
TOP OF HOGSBACK.

While out for horseback ride
Monday night, Messrs. Garth Duell.
George Hadden and Misses Minnie
Baker and Florence were shot at three
times by some mysterious rifieman on
the top of the hogsback as they were
riding up Sand Creek valley. half a
mile OF SO beyond Soda Point The
frs, bullet passed over them, but too
close to be comfortable. the second
tsruck the road few yards ahead of
the horses, and the third few feet
to one side. In each case the dirt
was seen to fly where the bullet struck
bu; 1t was impossible TO distinguish
the exact location OF the man behind
the gun.
The white sweaters worn by the
young ladies afforded an excellent tar
get and that they were not hit seems
to have been due to poor marksman-
ship on the part OF the rifieman hid
den away among the rocks at the top
OF the ridge.
What could have prompted the
schooling Is difficult TO conjecture.
The fact that so many shots were fred
disproves the theory OF carelessness.
The party rode home along the sky
