ant district attorney Of this district.
Sheriff Bartels was present during
portion OF the time he was confess
sing. The confession was taken down
in shorthand and he afterwards YER
flied it. All of those present state
that no force or abuse of any kind
was used in getting the confession and
that he made it after a long series OF
cross examinations by the detectives
and district attorneys. Reeves was
arrested by Detective Shields shortly
after the fire Saturday morning. He
was placed In solitary confinement
and has maintained a stole indiffer-
ence ever since and refused to talk to
the officials.
1t is understood that Frank Kiser,
one OF the men under arrest, is i'm
plicated by Reeves and he was also
taken to Denver.
Yesterday 1t was learned that Rich
ard Woodruff, a laborer, overheard
Kiser and Reeves discussing what they
would do to the C. & 8. freight depot
that night. Woodruff gave this m
formation to the police and they i'm
mediately confronted Reeves with
Woodruff's statement. He held out
for a short time and then broke down
and told the entire story. It was to
the effect that he and the other three
were Jealous OF the work being done
by the nonunion men; that they plan
ned to do something to scare the Col
orado and Southern. Their intention
was to burn some freight cars, and
he, after the conspiracy had been
formed. set fire to the caboose, not
| thinking that the results would be as
terrible as they were.
The fact that a number of persons
were killed and scores injured brought
him to a realization OF what had been
done and he stated that he had decid-
ed to make a clean breast Of the whole
affair and take his punishment.
The citizens OF Boulder are glad
that the mystery surrounding the deed
has been cleared up. Reeves will be
kept in Denver until Friday when he
will be brought back and the coroner's q
inquest continued. There is little dan
ger Of lynching at that time as the
cooler heads will prevail and Justice
will be meted out through the regu-
lar channels Of law. During the morn
ing the city Of Boulder offered q re-
ward Of $1,000 for the arrest and con-
viction Of the guilty party.

SPAULDING CAMP is NOW
FURNISHING PRODUCING MINES

w. E. Spaulding of Camp Spaulding
says that Eastern men are still com
ing to the camp to look over the stu
alton and that most of them are so
impressed with the possibilities of the
camp that they either stake claims and
put men to work or else they buy
claims that are being developed.
The company that bought the Ter
rible mine is cleaning up the shaft
and getting ready to start sinking.
The company proposes putting it to a
depth Of 700 feet, making it the deep
est property in the entire district. The
shaft is now $50 feet deep and it is
expected that some good ore will be
extracted in the next few hundred feet

When an orator talks, remember
that he is as surely trying to fool you
as a book agent. Marc Antony was
an orator as we'll as a soldier. When
he led his men into unnecessarily
hazardous positions, and they were
starving. and ragged, and discontented.
he had a habit of mounting a stump.
and delivering an Grafton. telling the
soldiers what noble Romans they were.
how they were being watched by the
gods and their ancestors, and how the
fate of Rome was in their hands. AZ
a result of Antony's fine talk. the men
would cheer, and rush to destruction.
But all the fine things Antony knew
didn't save him from destruction: he
became entangled in a woman scrape.
and that ended him.

At the Majestic.

Miss Francesca Bedding and company will be the headliners at the Majestic theatre this week in a pretty sketch en- titled Her Friend From Texas" Miss Redding is well known to patrons of the circuit, having presented a pretty drama last season, which won the admiration of all The rest of the bill is made up of some highly entertaining acts which should prove attractive to all patrons of the pretty playhouse, especially the wo- men and children. Dixon Brothers are srotesque musicians who have some nov elites and James and Bonnie Farley are a high class singing and dancing team Miss Claudine Riley will be heard in cor net selections and Mile. Aline is a. hoop roller and -juggler. It has been some time since black face team has been seen at the theatre, so the management secured Avery and Pearl. New pictures will also be shown on the Majestograph
 Miss Bedding will be assisted by three prominent actors in the presentation of her latest success, Her Friend From Texas" The story Is one of life on the western plains and in it Miss Bedding has a chance to display their abilities There is a laugh from beginning to end. Assisting Miss Bedding are Carlston Macy, Louis Simon and Henri Laurant. The role interpreted by Miss Bedding iS that of Mrs. Knickerbocker, veal
 western widow.
 Dixon Brothers are a team of grotesque nnuscal comedians whose act is said to be unequalled. They are foreigners and have appeared with great success in all nhe big cities of the old country as well as the popular houses of America.

matinee and night. On Friday night Manager McArdle will have a special bill by local amateurs in addition to the regular programme, and it is expected that this will be one of the funniest events of the season.
 Last year in Nashville amateur night was given every week and Manager McArdle states that the audiences en- joyed the performance more than they did when the professionals were alone. They made life so interesting for the ann ateurs some times that they forgot their lines and furnished no end of comedy.
 Among the amateurs that have already signified their intention of taking part are Harry Gammell a black face eomedi- an; Ed Donaldson, George Tragesser, Pat Swain and Will Gould a quartette; James OHere. illustrated songs. and Ed Donaldson, tenor solo. Three prizes will be given away, the amount of applause received by each act to deside which is entitled to each of the prizes
 Al Reeves is considered the champion banjo player of this country, and he holds a medal which was given by the Police Gazette at a great tournament several years ago. His act is one of the features of the vaudeville bill which seems to have several very fine acts.

 Gay New York;" two-act musical comedy. opened an engagement of three nights and one matinee at the Mobile the atre last night to a very fair audience. The play was adapted from the German by Maurice Hageman, abounds in funny dialogue ludicrous situations and catchy music, and was much enjoyed, the ap- plause being liberal throughout the per formance.
 Harry Emerson, a very popular Dutch comedian, impersonated Herman Schultz. He had difficult part which he handled well. In his song, "IIinkey Dee,' he and his chorus were compelled to answer nearly q dozen encores. Miss Lillian Hoerlein, in the role of. Mile. Florizell, shared the honors with Harry Emerson. She is a bewitchfng brunette, with good voice of the range, which she used to good effect in several musical numbers. Miss Florence Clement as Marie Darcy Is d capable actress and also has splen did soprano voice, as clear as a bell In her song, La Petite" she was heartily encored. Mazda H. Foy as Mrs. Schultz was pleasing. Richard Bartlett as Frank Swift, Edward B. Adams SIS Wilbur Jen- nings and Aubrey Bachford as Hon. w. B. Jennings were very good in their re- spective roles. Dan w. Mack, comedian well known here, played the part of Swiftly, and added no little 10 the sue cess of the performance. The other members of the company gave good sup port.
 The musical numbers are numerous and were well rendered last night. The ex- cellently trained chorus contains many cultivated voices. Special attention is paid to the costumes, which are hand some and appropriate. The scenery is realistic especially Schultz's summer villa at Newport in the second and last act.
 Each and every member of the cast did their utmost to please last night, and they succeeded well, as was shown by lthe liberal applause.

Mr. Charles Judels, as the hotel proprietor. displayed finished art in his delineation of the mercurial nature of the French man, while Mir. H.
