COLORADO SPRINGS.

Frank Suggs, prominent citizen
Of Colorado Springs, passed away a
few days ago at his home on Parker
street. His health had been falling
him for some time, but he being en-
ergetic and industrious, gave up only
when necessity demanded.
Mr.. Suggs was one Of the few men
who believed In acquiring property.
At his death he owned several lots in
the western part OF this city and In
addition to this he had won the high
esteem and good will OF both the
white and colored citizens In his COM
munity. At his funeral there were as
many. or more, white friends present
than his own people. Mr.. Suggs
leaves a brother. who Is a prominent
physician In Arkansas. and several
other members OF the old family tie.
He leaves In this city a devoted wife.
who II equally energetic and thrifty,
~ he was, and who is now managing
the business quite Is thoroughly as
he did, Mr.. Sugss will long live In
the hearts Of the citizens Of Colorado.

celebrity with which they moved men,
food, ordnance, ammunition and horses
to strategic points was unequaled since
the great Napoleon's time. With this
advantage was coupled a dash and pa
triotism to which the Russians are
strangers and which added immensely
to the morale of the Asiatic soldiery.
Their superior intelligence also count
ed at every shift in the field. The
craftsmanship of the Japanese was
wonderful and their utter disregard of
death another attribute.
When the carnage was fearful at
LiaOyung, where much depended upon
the Steadiness of the Russians, n charge
by the Japanese against Gen. Orloffs
corps of 10000 men sent them flying
long before the brown men got within
bayonet range and this turned into a
complete rOut. the Russians throwing
their rifles and accoutrements away in
a mad stampede to get to safety. Not
in any war in which Russia has en-.
gagged did her soldiers show the timid-
ity they did in this.
Then the general complains of the
lack of obedience on the part of officers
and men. Generals of divisions refused
to obey his orders at times, and this
was followed down the successive
grades to the private, the reasons as.
signed being that the changing of the
columns of the enemy rendered the or
der abortiye when it reached them. On
the Japanese side the discipline was of
the highest, about perfection, and it is
unrecorded where officer or private, no
matter how desperate the task, ever
baked in its execution. He places Ja-
pan far ahead of any other nation in
her soldiery and, on equal terms as to
numbers, superior to that of any other
nation.
The general closes his survey of the
cause of the defeat of the Russians
with the pathetic reflection that if Rus
STA had been united and ready to make
the sacrifices necessary to safeguard
her dignity and integrity, the valiant
Russian army would have striven till
the foe was subdued"

RECEIVERS HIS GIRL.
FATHER GAINS POSSESSION OF
DAUGHTER FROM GYPSIES.
After Years Search, Covering TO-
900 Miles, Missing One is Found
Near Chicago-FIaw in Ohio In
herftance Law.

After years search for his daughter,
who was kidnapped by gypsies at Little
Rock, Ark, Leo Demetro found her the
other afternoon at Thornton, ILL.,, in a
gypsy camp. When the child, who is ID
years old, saw her father with four dep
uty sheriffs, who accompanied him, she
ran and threw her arms around his neck.
''Oh, papa. papa" she cried, take me
away. Don't let them keep me here y
The deputies had been sent to Thornton
by Judge Mack of the Juvenile Court in
Chicago, before whom the father had ap-
peared, and he issued an order that the
child be brought into court. When the
depdties attempted to take the girl from
the camp more than fifty of the gypsies
attacked the officers, who were compelled
to draw their revolvers. With the weep
ing girl clinging to her father. the depu-
ties leveled their weapons at the enraged
gypsies, and in that way walked nearly a
third of a mile. No shots were fired, but
at times it looked as if the deputies would
have to shoot at the leaders of the mob.
The girl was taken to Chicago and cared
for. John Joe, the name by which the
man is known who kidnapped her, was not
arrested. The father of the girl is
Greek. He is an itinerant coppersmith,
and was at Little Rock a year ago. On
March ], 1906, John Joe kidnapped the
girl. Demetro was slightly acquainted with
the gypsy, having met him the year before
at Dallas, Texas, when the tribe was
camped there. The Greek was a stranger
in the country and unable to speak Egg
lish. With his heart-broken wife ne be-
gan the search. The parents have trav-
eled about 10000 miles ON their quest.
In connection with the search the father
has spent more than $500, part of
which was advanced to him by a Greek
society to which he belongs.

The chamber Of commerce in Godheld,

lot jumpers that they would have TO cease
operations or get out OF town. At day
light squatters moved on lot at the
corner of Main and Hall streets, where
the owner had already begun excavating
for a four-story ireproof building. A
cabin was hauled on the ground and an
armed guard established TO keep off the
contractors. A fence was thrown around
the place, which cost the owner last week
$4,000, and the jumpers asserted their
right to $1,000 the price of a compro-
mise. An emergency meeting Of the cham
Der of cammerce was called and at
o'clock in the afternoon 200 members
marched to the corner under the leader
ship of Dick Colburn. first vice president
of the chamber. At the word of command
the entire body rushed at the jumpers,
threw them into the muddy street and
then proceeded to relieve the lot of the
cabin, 10 by IA structure. which was
rolled out into the street. The jumpers
were then lined up by the brokers and
told that If they attempted to repeat OPP
erations they would be escorted down the
road and shown the trail across the des-
ert. In the attacking force there were
ten millionaires, most of whom had suf-
fered from some Matchmaking tactics. The
movement has the sympathy of the sheriff
and county constable. who watched the
proceedings. During the past week there
have been daily complaints of jumpers
who are taking advantage of the fact
that the title to the town site is in dis
pute. The vigilantes have issued an or
der that further attempts will meet with

WHY WAR WAS LOST.


General KuroTa tkin's History of the
Russo japanese War" which was con-
iiscated by the Russian government, has
at last become accessible, despite the
most extreme precautions to prevent
this calling official indictment from
reaching the public.
As the commander-in-chief of the
Russian armies in this encounter he
claims he was hampered by the clique
in st. Petersburg which insisted on
their own plans being followed though
they were 5000 miles away from the
firing line and not well posted as TO
the movements of the enemy until dis
aster played havoc with their soldiery.
kuropatkin says the Russians were
poorly prepared for war. In armament,
food and medicines. they were deficient.
Then the source of supply, the Siberian
railroad, was totally inadequate to the
needs of the army. Instead of the war
