MAY Be JOHNSON'S PAL
City Park Suicide Believed to Have
Worked With Man Suspected Of
Killing Marshal Of Lamar.

Firm in the belief that John @.
Bragg, who committed suicide at the
City park March 21 by swallowing q
quantity of arsenic, was a partner
and accomplice of Andrew johnson,
the man now held for the murder Of
Night Marshal James Fl. Frisbie of
Lamar, and that he committed sui
cids through fear Of arrest. Sheriff
Georeg Thomas, of Lamar, who came
to this city yesterday to remove john
son from the Denver county Jail to
Lamar, spent most of the day in
gathering data to substantiate his
theory.
He visited the county hospital and
received an opinion from surgeons
there who operated on Bragg for the
smputation Of his left arm, to the
effect that the arm was not lost in
sswmill, as Bragg stated when he
went to the hospital, but had been
shot of. Thomas himself shot in
the left arm one. of the men who
participated in the murder of Frisbie
and he believes that man was Bragg.
The amputation took place at the
county hospital shortly after Christ
mas and the murder Of Frisbie oc-
curred December 26, so that Bragg
would have had plenty Of time to
reach this city. Sheriff Thomas also
visited the coroner's Office and Sc
cured . description of Bragg which
tsllies almost exactly with that of
the taller of the two men who
murdered Frisbie and who was shot
in the left arm in the running battle
which followed before they made
their escape.
THE DESCRIPTIONS.
The descriptions of the two men
are as follows: Bragg-Height, FIVE
feet elevon inches; weight, 1856 lbs;
complexion, dark; dark mustache;
age. 40 years.
Unknown Murderer--Height, about
six feet; weight, 1876 or 100 pounds;
dark complexion, dark mustache.
1t is charged that Bragg was at
one time an active participant in the
notorious Hatfield Mccoy feud in
Kentucky, aud more recently men,
ber of the desperate band Of outlaws
who, under the leadership of Tom
Horn, was hired by the cattle barons
of Wyoming to wage war against
the sheep owners. Gleanings from
q statement made by his wife, Mrs.
Mary O. Bragg, after his death, also
lead to the belief that he was con-
stantly in fear of the officers of the
law, and that while living with her
he slept with an AZ and . revolver
under his pillow.
He stayed in the county hospital
only long enough to permit of the
wound caused by the smputation,
to heal. After leaving the hospital
he went to the home OF his wife,
Lincoln terrace, and while there, &C.
oording to Mrs. Bragg. told her that
the officers were after him and want
ed her to secrete him in the event
any of them visited the house while
he was thers.-Dsnver Times April

NEIL BURGESS.

TheatergOers who enjoy a good laugh and wholesome comedy, should not fail to see that popular, eccentric comedian, Neil Burgess, when he comes to Polls on Christmas day and Thursday, matinee bargain each day, when he will be seen once again in that mirtl provoking play, The County Fair" with Mir Burgess in his original role of Aunt Abby, a char acter he has played over 2,0OO times. Nearly all playgoers are familiar with this play, which as played by Mir Burgess, stands as inimitable. There is probably no actor on the American stage who can give such d natural representation of the shreWd and prudish old woman as Mir Burgess, and therein lies the secret of his long success that his followed his efforts in this line of parts. Everyone re- members the corn husking scene in the old barn and the famous race scene where "Cold MOlasses" wins the race and saves Aunt Abby's farm. So per fectly natural is every action of this play that it ranks in a class by itself and people must laugh whether they want to or not. Mr Burgess has in- troduced male quartet ill the barn scene and they are said to be very good. He also brings some of the ar lists who have helped make the play so popular and welcome. such as Bartley McCullum, Annie Blanks and Gail Y. Towers. Prices. evenings 25c to Sl; bargain matinees, 2 and 5C cents.

UNITE ID CRUSH TAFT
Senators Foraker and Dick of
 Ohio Form a Coalition.
FOR UNPLEDGED DELEGATES
Plans of Combination Involve Split ting the County Representatives and Swinging Majority In Favor of For aker at the State Convention.

Cleveland. O., Dec. 23--As result of conferences held with Senator For aker here his lieutenants and those of Senator Dick in this section will unite in an attempt to crush the Taft boom in Ohio.
 While Mir. Foraker would make no comment on the political situation, it was learned from some of his friends that the two Ohio senators have form ed a coalition against the secretary of war. AS a step in this direction plans were laid to obtain an unpledged dele gation from Cuyahoga county to the state convention and as far as pOssi- ble to carry out the same idea ill the other counties of the state

 Taft on Way to Ohio.
 It was learned that the Foraker men are in favor of holding two state con ventions, one to select the four dele gates at large from Ohio to the na- tional convention and the other to nominate state officers. The story was circulated that the state central con- mittee would decide in favor of this plan. Senator Foraker left Cleveland for Cincinnati.
 A dispatch from Washington says Secretary Taft left that city for Gin cinnati, where he will take the legal process necessary for him to become the eXecutor of his mothers will. Be fore starting for the west he made a few hurried calls, leaving a card, among others. on Secretary Cortelyou, who has not yet recovered sufficiently to receive visitors. Arthur l. VOrys. Secretary Taft's campaign manager, arrived in Washington and spent part of the day in consultation with his principal. after which he returned to his hotel, where he may remain for several days Mir. VOrys would not discuss the result of his interview and said that he had nothing to say in re- gard to the secretary's satisfaction with the way in which his campaign has been conducted.
 Vorys Is Noncommitta.
 "Was the interview satisfactory to you?' Mir. Vorys was asked.
 II can only say that I saw the secre' tary and that we discussed his candi, dacy and the presidential situation, he replied.
 Was the interview satisfactory tC Secretary Taft. and was he pleased with his prospectsT
 II cannot answer that. The secre tary will do his own talking now that he is back in America" answered Mir Vorys.
 Close friends of Mir. Vorys seem tC set at naught the rumors that Secre taPy Taft will secure a new manager for his campaign before long, although there have been persistent reports tC that effect with which many promi nent names have been connected, in cluding MT. Loeb, Elmer Dover, secre tary of the Republican national com mittee. and others. It is the opinion , of Mir. Vorys' friends that he has con ducted the campaign with tact ant that it is now on fiTmer footing thar at any time since it was assured tha Secretary Taft would be candidate.
