The Colorado statesman., 1907-09-07
SENATOR RANDALL is KILLED.
Was Probably Accidentally Shot, But
No Ono Knows,

Rocky Ford, Colo.-William N. Ran
dali. senator from Otero county to the
State Legislature from 1894 to 1896,
who has been prominent in Colorado's
public affairs for the last fifteen years
and who has held city offices here, was
shot and killed, probably accidentally,
In his room at his home here shortly
after 6 o'clock, evening of September
4th.
The report of the revolver was
heard by Harry Maxwell and other
neighbors, who rushed over to the
Randall home and glancing through the
window saw the senator lying on the
floor with blood pouring from a wound
through his heart. They Immediately
entered, but when they reached his
side life seemed extinct, death appar-
emily having resulted instantly DR..
Sigman was summoned, but could do
nothing for him.
Mr.. Randall, who had been at the
Arkansas Valley Fair during the day,
had just returned home and was evi-
IDENTIFY packing his grip preparatory to
leaving tomorrow evening for Will
mantle, Connecticut, to join his fam
lily, who have been in that state since
April, and there spend the winter
with them.
He had walked from the fair grounds
with the wife of his brother, G.. p.
Randall, helping her push a baby cab.
Reaching the street near his home he
remarked to her that he guessed he
would go over home a little while and
write letter to his wife, telling her
that he would leave for the East soon.
After the tragedy the letter was found
on the table, where he had evidently
left it when he began packing his ef-
fects.
That the shooting was an accident
there seems to be little doubt, as the
revolver was lying on the floor near his
side, and there is no theory that he
could have taken his own life, as he
is known to have been in good finan-
cial circumstances, and the letter to
his wife contained only pleasant antici-
pations of soon seeing her, the chill
dren, and his parents.
1t is believed that while he was
placing his revolver in the grip it was
accidentally discharged. The muzzle
must have been close to his body. as
his coat was badly scorched and the
| flesh was powder burned.
He was q member of the Colorado
Legislature for two years. from 1894
| to 1896, being elected on the Republi-
can ticket, he being at that time a
Free Silver Republican. He served
only one term and was succeeded by
| Senator ]. H. Crowley.

The Denver Republican has al
ways avoided the fallacies and
knaveries of yellow journalism,

policy of telling the plain Truth
without exaggeration or misrepre-
sentation, standing fast for the
Right, is heartily approved with
growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.
To read it is liberal Education,
and the citizen who goes without
it does a positive harm to himself,
to his family, and to the commu-
nifty.

ment of 2H cents per day

Flour Mill Destroyed by Fire.

Boulder, Colo.NA fire, the origin OF
which is not known, totally destroyed
the Broomfield mill and contents at
Broomfeld, causing loss of $4,000
which is partially insured. There were
carloads of wheat in the mill and i've
tons of breakfast food. The fire com
municated to a car loaded with wheat
on the C. & S. siding, which was also
burned.
There was night watchman sleep
ing in the office of building about
100 yards from the mill. He did not
know of the fire for about one-half
hour, when he was awakened by the
bright light from the burning building
shining into the window. At this time
the building was so far gone that nc
assistance could be offered.

Ore Worth 100000 Ton.

Cripple Creek.-Ore running as
high as 100000 in gold to the ton
was opened on the Old Gold property
adjoining the Henry Adney, on Beacon
hill. The strike was made by Parlin
and associates at a depth of 300 feet
and at a point sixty feet west of the
shaft.
The high grade mineral is found In
ar eight-inch streak of almost solid
sylvanite lying near the center of a
two-foot vein. On either side OF the

ounces. The find was made in whai

LeadviIle Has a Stick-up.

Leadville, Colo.-John Vergfeson,
who runs a saloon at 32S East Fifth
street, was held up by two masked
men, shot. and robbed of SIS. The bull
let entered the muscles of Vergeison' S
breast He was so badly scared that
he could not give any account OF the
affair, saying that all he knew was
that the two masked men entered his
saloon and told him to hold up his
hands. He did not notify the police
until next morning at o'clock, when
he regained his composure and came TO
the conclusion that 1t would be good
thing for the officers to know of 1t.
Vergeison is IN the hospital, but his
condition Is not considered critical.

fate of Joan Of Arc, Mrs. Joseph La
Londe Of st. Lazare, q small French
Canadian village, burned herself to
death on funeral pyre Of her own
making. While her relatives were at
high mass she built pyre of fence
logs and tree branches. undressed her
self entirely and climbed onto the
pyre, to which she set fire.

Sounds Interesting.

Frank Armstrong, the electrician,
with 1.-The Tourists" which appears
at the Colonial Theatre, finds himself
with a job on his hands that he did
not anticipate when he contracted to
travel with the company. In one of
the songs, ''It's Nice TO have a Sweet
heart, the girls carry fishing poles
with illuminated glass hearts dangling
from the end of the line. These they
offer temptingly as bait to the oc-
eupants of the front row, when the
chorus is reached and the house is
darkened, the hearts are illuminated.
Usually the auditors within reach OF
the unique bait make frantic efforts
to reach the hearts, and il is not
unusual for three or four of them TO
be captured at each performance.
This keeps the electrician busy, for
the hearts are somewhat intricate in
construction. There will doubtless
be a great demand for front seats dur
ing 'The Tourists" engagement by
those in hopes of a souvenir.

May Bombard Newport.

Newport, II. T., March I4.-Word
has been received from Washington
that the Summer conference of the
army and naval officers viii convene
at the Naval War College here on
June l., and the sessions will be con-
tinued daily until October /. Indica-
tions are that there will be an excep-
tionally large class of officers in at
tendance at this. conference, and that
their ranks will range as high as rear
admiral. An effort is being made in
army and naval circles to have Rear
Admiral Evans and his Atlantic fleet
during the sSummer visit the New
England coast and lombard, in mock
battle, the coast defeuces, as was
done soma years ago by Admiral
Higginson, when he was in command
of the North Atlantic fleet. If this
is done, an interesting Summer S
work is in store for the ships and
officers and men commanding the
coast defences along the coast from
New York to Maine.

takes his morning shower. Al beds
arc canopied with mosquito netting
draped in fanciful designs. Mosquitoes
are said to bring germs of yellow
fever, and they are assiduously guard
ed against. Handsome specimens of
lace work festoon the lower part of
the bed and often the mosquito net
ting is of artistic pattern. There is
no upholstered furniture, all is of
wicker or cool cane. The ceilings are
very high from rs to 25 feet. and
are finished in hard wood, the beams
or joists, often of mahogany, being
exposed TO view.
The windows and doors are almost
as high as the ceiling, with Slated
blinds at the windows and solid
shutters on the inside. The doors are
marvel TO the visitor. Heavy wooden
doors are on the outside and colored
glass doors about six or seven feet high
with ornate finishing in carved wood
above, form the inner door. These
are kept closed and emit the air above
them. The doors are the same in hotels
as well as in private houses. The
walls of the flat-roofed houses are car
ried up above the roof to form parapets
and the roof is enclosed in this way.
On this roof the laundress dries her
clothes by day and in the evening the
family enjoy the cool breezes here with
the blue sky above. Sometimes urns
aud flowers adorn the roofs and rock
ing chairs are placed there along with
wicker couches for comfort. The
roof thus enclosed is called an azotea
and is delightful resort for most
Cubans. 1t was thc-privilege of this
column 10 enjoy an enchanting scene
from one of these roof gardens.
Above were the glittering stars, and
the soft gemmery CLEAN of the moon

beacon light on MORO castle, casting
its steady radiance over the sea.
AS we looked large ocean steamer
brightly lighted, sailed out of the har-
Dor with silent dignity beneath the
glimmering stars, the silvery moon
and with Moro Castle and her bea-
con light towering far above. The
scene was resplendeut in its beauty
and picturesqueness and was just such
an one as we see painted on canvas
or in some exquisitely beautiful stage
setting, but which is almost too ar
tistic to be real.
Havana is a city of beautiful houses
and palaces that have cost enormous
fortunes. Some of the handsomest
houses are on the Prado, but there is
no exclusive residential section, and
ike Washington, the mansion of the
rich man rubs noses with the shoe
makers or grocer's shop. Havana is
fascinatinglyh historic and bew wildering-
ly traditional. 1t is the enchanting
city of leisure and pleasure, for like
Annapolis, nobody is ever in a hurry
here, everybody takes his own sweet
time. There is no such thing as rush,
and hurry is an unknown quantity.
There is nothing doing after III a.
M, as everybody goes home for
breakfast then, and the season for
siestas is from to y. m, when the
arms of Morpheus wrap most of the
inhabitants.
Havana is the city of sunshine and

INSPECTED HOSPITAL.
Surgeon General Rixey Visits New Structure
On Government Farm.

The new-government Naval General
Hospital on the Naval Academy reser-
vation was yesterday inspected by Sur
geon General Presley NJ. Rixey, of
the Navy Department. Dr.. Rixey, in
addition to making a complete in
spection of the handsome new group
of buildings, selected the sites for
the additional houses to be erected
as quarters for the officers of the med
ical staff. This selection was made
after consultation with Surgeon George
Pickrell, who will be the senior med
ical officer of the institution.
There will be two double dwellings
for officers quarters, and the site select
ed for them by Surgeon Rixey is on a
line with the main hospital building
and buildings at the Academy. 1t had
been intended that the hospital should
be entirely furnished and ready for
the admission of patients tomorrow.
This, however, cannot be done, as
the beds and some other minor fur
nishings have yet to be received.
