Fort Collins, Colo-A bitter fight
has started between the union work
men of this city and some of the bust
ness houses. The elimination came at
a meeting of the union painters at
which the following resolutions were
passed:
I'VE the painters and decorators of
Fort Collins regret that some or our
leading business firms and banks are
having and intending to have their
decorations done by nonunion men
from Denver, and employ men
sent out from strictly non union shops.
and as we have resident painters equal
in skill to any that can be sent from
Denver, and as our members have had
no chance to bid for the work, we feel
that we are justified in condemning
the actions of these firms, and we hope
in the future that they will patronize
those who patroniZe them
The union men in Fort Collins are
well organized, and a general move
ment is being made among the men to
withdraw their deposits from the
banks that have employed non-union
men and to boycott the mercantile
houses who have employed non-union
men. The painters and decorators
asked. at their meeting as matter OF
retaliation on the banks. that they
would withdraw their funds and de-
post them in a Denver bank.

TRAIN ROBBERS IN NEBRASKA.
Masked Men Hold Up Rock Island and
Loot Passengers.

Omaha, Neb.-The Rocky Mountain
Limited, the Denver-bound train on
the Rock Island road. was raided near
Murdoch. Nebraska, by three masked
men.
The robbers went through the chair
car, robbing every passenger. securing
their pocketbooks and purses. covered
the train crew with revolvers and es-
capped by leaping from the train.
Railroad detectives and sheriffs
posses started in pursuit. but the rob
bers had several hours start of the
officers. ...
The robbers were passengers on the
train. Shortly after leaving Murdack
the men arose in their seats. their
faces covered with masks, and with
revolvers In each hand they covered
the passengers.
The leader ordered everybody to
keep still and not resist, else they
would be shot. Two men went down
the aisles with hats In hand. while the
third kept the passengers covered. All
the passengers were ordered to throw
their pocketbooks into the hats, and
this was done.
The conductor appeared in the car
with pistol In his hand but was
promptly covered with four guns and
forced to drop his revolver.
After getting all the money in the car
the robbers jumped from the train
which had slowed down for grade
An attempt was made to enter the
sleeper, but the door was locked and
the attempt was unsuccessful.

The place where those with slant eyes
had settled became China. The man
with the abnormally large amount of
color pigments was hemmed in in AZ
RIGA. The children of each of these
races had to breed in line and each
generation retained the abnormal fea-
lures. So, when there is no attempt
made to do away with these imperfec-
tons they become so emphasized that
the race is destroyed. The race in
Africa, then. had its defects empha-
sized and gradually became darker
and darker. finally developing into
the negro race of the present time. and
the family with the small amount of
color pigments went towards Europe
and became the Caucasians.
Il believe, as the nations have al
vanced in civilization, the tendency
towards amalgamation has gradually
increased. The United States mas
made the most progress and | think
the best is yet to come. think the
amalgamation of the white and black
races is not far off. and then all the
different families of the world Will
finally been united. And when that
time comes universal peace will pre-
vail"

Colorado Springs.-Like Bob Acres
in Sherio ms comedy of THE Rivals.
Shorty Stein went to the dueling
ground in Colorado City with Bob
Cummings. willing in spirit but weak
in the flesh. A quarrel arose between
Stein and Cummings in Dougherty' s
saloon, and in the custom of the
West, st was time for the kill
ing" Mutual friends then secured re-
volvers, loaded with blank cartridges,
but Stein did not know OF the trick.
Seconds were chosen, and the crowd
went down near the city pond, where
the cutomary twenty steps were paced
off.
After the combatants were given
revolvers they were placed back to
back and at the word Fire" they
turned and emptied their revolvers at
each other. Stein shivered from head
to foot as Cummings sent imaginary
bullets at his head. When Cummings
had emptied his revolver Stein still
had two cartridges in his revolver. and
he then fired twice at the head of his
opponent.
Cummings reeled and fell. He is shot
through the brain" said the mutual
friends. Stein walked straight to the
police station, where he asked that he
be taken In charge. Mr.. Cummings
and friends returned to Dougherty' s
saloon, and wondered why Shorty
Stein had not backed down and out at
the moment he was TO take another S

CHASED BY LITTLE RED DEVILS.
Insane Man Who Has Been Wandering
for Years Recaptured.

Denver.-Chris Jensen, who three
years ago made a sensational escape
from the insane hospital at Pueblo.
where he was committed. charged with
the murder July 10. 1901, of Mrs. Anne
mia Bulls, who owned little ranch on
Myrtle hill, was arrested recently near
police headquarters by Detectives Con-
nor and White.
Examinations during the prepare
lions for trial found Jensen to be In
sane and he was sent to the Pueblo
hospital as n dangerous maniac. OF a
peculiar cunning. he one day wormed
his way out of confinement and made
his escape so successfully that weeks
of searching proved useless.
Where he has been since his escape
is a mystery. He showed up at po-
lice headquarters. and, hungry and
tiNed. asked for lodging. He was given
temporary shelter in one OF the cells
OF the city jail. The Waterman was al
tracted by hallucinations of Jensen and
listening to them concluded that tho
man was mentally unsound.
Jensen was taken into the office OF
the police surgeon, where II was found
that his mind was unbalanced, and he
was ordered returned to his cell in tho
jail. As he sat in chair In the sur
geon's office he moaned that he didn't
want to go out because he was afraid
that he would kill someone. Then hc
said that he had been pursued by thou
sands of little red devils. They don't
come into the JAIL" he added.
Jensen was released the following
morning, apparently in his right mind.
But late yesterday afternoon he rushed
into police headquarters shouting that
he was being pursued and asked for
assistance "They cant chase me into
the jail" he said. II want to go In
there" He was sent away. but Capt
Frank Lee later remembered the man
as Chris Jensen and Detectives Common
and White were sent in pursuit. They
captured him at Fourteenth and Lario

see the world. on the southeast
coast of Brazil, in the South Atlantic,
the boat was thrown out of its
course by a storm, and a boats crew.
including their passenger keen for ad-
venture. went ashore on a precipitous
island named Trinidad for water and
such fresh provisions as might be
picked up.
The crew found an abandoned Portu-
guese settlement, buildings falling to
decay, all signs of cultivation hidden
by wild vines and plants.
The Imagination of Jacques Harden
Hickey was fired. He saw that with
cultivation crops might be raised.
There were fields of guano and pasture
enough for sheep raising and. best of
all, the island was unclaimed by any
power. Some day he would be king of
this island.
On his return to Europe he met
Anne Flagler, and in less than year
had won and married her by special
dispensation of the pope, who also
created him a baron. This was in
1889. In 1893 he realized his ambi-
ton. Financed largely by his wife
and her relatives, though there were
rumors of 100000 loan, he landed
his colonists on the forlorn little
island of Trinidad, and there he set
up his court. His overseers were
white, but the land was cultivated by
poems. His palace was mere hut.
but it stood apart from the rest, and
his court was held as punctiliously as
that of st. James. To be sure, there
was great shortage in court ladies',
but the beauty and enthusiasm of his
devoted wife, who entered into all his
plans. made his peculiar kingdom a
paradise.
But one fatal mistake had been
made. The foreign powers had been
formally notified that the Island of
Trinidad had been colonized as I'm in
dependent state or principally under
Prince Jacques l.. and two years later.
in 1895, Great Britain decided that she
needed just that island for future
coaling station. Their movements &C
celebrated by a British gunboat. the
colonists fled from the island in the
yacht of their prince and princess.
For years jacques j. of Trinidad
fought for the recognition of his
rights and almost made Trinidad an
international issue. But after being
mixed up in a filibustering scheme
aimed at one of the Hawaiian islands
not yet annexed to the United States.
the Harden-Hickey star waned. Al

wife, he led a more or less adven-
turous career, and finally wound up in

Chance for An Argument.

Longmont. Colo.-W. II. Dickens of
this city thinks he has the best seven
ty-acre field of wheat that has been
produced in Colorado this year. He
has told the secretary of the CONNER
cial association that 10 is willing to
back this claim by offering to wager
500 that his wheat will prove the best
upon comparison. Each man may put
up his 800 separately or all may
lump their sums and the person who
proves his field the best may take the
entire amount. In view of the fact
that there have been reported and
proved yields of nearly eighty bushels
of wheat to the acre here this year. it
seems that Mr.. Dickens has fine
field of grain. He has made himself
almost a millionaire in his fields about
Longmont. SO his claim is one that
challenges notice.
