and thsre Is one who thought he would
get $4,000 and will only get $500.
All this political sorrow comes about
through the insertion of q clause in ..
bill which should not have been placed
in there.
The last legislature passed law
giving the state coal mine inspector
three deputy inspectors at a salary Of
$1,000 each The bill read that their,
salaries were to be paid out of any
moneys appropriated for that pur-
pose 1t should have read. out of
the general revenue fund"
When the legislature passed the long
appropriation bill 1t forgot about this
law and merely appropriated 81 500 for
one deputy. AS 4 result one man will
work for 81 500 and two men won't
work at all. unless the attorney gen.
eral holds that their salaries should
come out of some other appropriation.
He has been asked for an opinion on
the question. but the chances are the
coal mine inspectors ONCE will be run
with two men instead of four.

Holly. whose body was found in frag-
ments last Saturday night in the fat
cars and along the tracks of the Rio

the body.
Mrs. J. f. Taylor. Morgan Huey and
Mat Terry. all three colored people re-
siding in Williamsburg, came TO the
city yesterday and identified the frag
ments of the dead body and the cloth
ing of the dead man. They found the
face of the dead man sufficiently rec
ognizable to make them sure of the
identity. even though there had been
nothing else to assist in the identifi

1t is stated that the local police de-
partment has the name and descrip-
ton of the murderer: that he formerly
resided in Pueblo and that many of
the officers know him. News also
comes from Williamsburg that last

to say: Il am going to have some
