Horse Gets $4,000 Monumen.

Chicago..-A $4,000 monument TO-
his horse Is a feature that has been
incorporated in the will of Henry
Graves, the Oldest settler of Chicago,
who now lies near deaths door at his
home. He came to the little settle
ment about Fort Dearborn in 1881.
pioneer racing man and ever a
lover of horses, Mr.. Graves has pro-
vided that the costliest monument
ever erected for a horse will be placed
in Washington park. 1t will memorial
ize Ike Cook, a famous trotter, which
he owned fifty years ago.

horse to make that mark on one
mile track in the state of Illinois, The

CUT WIFE's THROAT WITH RAZOR
Enraged Husband Kills Pretty Wife,
Then Tries to Commit Suicide.

Denver.-Jealous of his pretty wife
because friends had complimented her
fine features, Eugene C. Marrugg, a
fireman in the employ of the Denver
Gas & Electric Company, murdered
her at the family home, 1928 West Col
fax street, on Labor Day, by cutting
hei throat with a razor.
Marrugg then attempted suicide by
cutting his throat, but the sight of
blood gushing from his wife's mouth
and chin weakened him and his eff
forts to end his own life were evident
ly not sincere. At the county hospi-
tai it was discovered that his wound
was not of seriohs nature. When
he had recovered his senses he tore
his hair and cried: MY God, what
nave / done? The babies are without
mother now and they will never

MURDER MYSTERY is SOLVED.
Widow and Innocent Babe Shot to
Death by a Hired Negro.

Millerton, lathe mystery sur
rounding the murder two weeks ago Of
Mrs. Lennie Bond, comely young
widow, and her five-year-old son, by
load of buckshot fired through a win
dow into the bed in which they slept,
has been uncovered. 1t is declared
that Benjamin Baucum, the twenty
yearold son of DR.. James Baucum,
prominent physician, employed Green
Cooper, negro, to kill the woman, to
prevent his father from clipping with
her.
The assassination is new applca-
ton of the unwritten law. Young Bau-
cum planned the deed to save his aged
mother from disgrace. Or. Baucum is
sixty years old and has six children.
Benjamin, the eldest, learned that his
father, whose infatuation for the pretty
widow was a common scandal, had
mortgaged all of his property and in
tended to desert his family. The son
pleaded with his father not to bring
disgrace upon the family and ruin his
tthe father's) career, but Dr. Baucum
was so in love that he declined to give
up his passion, commanding his son to
keep silent about the proposed flight.
The boy, driven to desperation, con-
cluded that the solution of the trouble
lay in killing Mrs. Bond. 1t is said that
he paid the negro $50 for his work. 1t
was intended to spare the child but
the little fellow lay between his
mother and the window and a score OF
buckshot passed through his body and
thence into the body of his mother.
No charges have been filed against
DIR. Baucum, but public sentiment is
against the father rather than the son,
the people holding that if DR.. Baucum
had not been driven by an insane pas
sion his son would not have been
called upon to Slay.
Intense feeling exists against the ne
gro and in the present excited condi-
tion of the people, fear for the prison
er's safety is expressed. Both young
Baucum and Cooper have been indicted
and are in Jail at Homer, having been
denied bail. 1t is expected their pre-
liminary trial will be held this week.

"Bobbs," l said, raising from my

question before you go. Do you re-
member the first note that you sent
me? The one Chico brought when he
climbed up the ivy into my window
last summer"
Yes, sir" said Bobbs, briefly.
well, how did you happen to say
what you did in that note?" asked.
Mr.. Carney told me to say it, of
course, SIR" replied Bobbs.
DO you know why he did so?"
continued.
Yes, SIR" said Bobbs. II was in
the house watching you the day you
came, sir, and when you picked up
that glove of Miss Carney's and kissed
it, sir, l told him of it. Then he said l
should write the note as l did, sir, and
that you'd make good husband for
her and he hoped you would marry
her, sir"
THAT will do, Bobbs," said. Good
night, my boy. l hope you'll get some
sleep"
l sat down once more by the dimly
burning lamp and, taking the glove
from my pocket, l kissed it gently
again and again. A slight sound
caused me to raise my eyes and l saw
Florence Carney standing, with out
stretched hands, in the shadow of one
of the bookcases. l sprang toward her
and, sobbing softly, she nestled in my
arms, with hers entwined about my
neck.

To Improve Boyd's Lake.

Greeley, Colo-Plans have been sub.
m'tted to contractors by B. D. San
born for outlet gates and towers and
a 300foot tunnel for Boyd's like, two
miles northwest of Loveland.
The water from this reservoir will
be emptied into the Thompson river at
the head of the Hillsboro ditch for use
in irrigating from that ditch. The OBJ
ject is to supply water, by exchange,
for use in the Greeley and Loveland
ditch, which waters the country be-
tween Greeley and Loveland, and if
possible to supply other canals SINH
larly situated above the level of the
lake.
Boyd's like is four miles long and
mile wide. The tunnel and outlet will
draw off thirty-eight feet of water. On
the same basis of valuation as Love
land lake, Boyd's lake has a value Of
$1,000 900.

tooth extracted, George w. Bowers,
aged twenty-eight, rose from the chair
and violently attacked r. B. Leonard,
who was treating him, severaly beat

mer near by and used it freely on
Bowers head, causing compound
fracture of the skull. Bowers was
taken to an emergency hospital and

Jim Howard Not Guilty.

Georgetown, Ky.-Goaded by the
statement here in the opening speech
of Judge S. Whager, Democratic nomi-
nee for governor, that he would not
pardon Caleb Powers If convicted of
conspiracy in the murder of Governor
William Goebel, Powers tonight issued
a written statement saying that he
had at last learned the name of the
man who murdered Goebel, and could
point him out. No previous statement
made by Powers has created so pro-
found sensation, for 1t is believed at
last that the real murderer of Gov
ernor Goebel will be learned. Powers
says that the man who killed Goebel
Is not Jim Howard, who is serving q
life sentence in the penitentary ON

President VIII Make Six Speeches.

Oyster Bay, n. Y.-To prepare
half dozen addresses, each to be read
very generally by a nation of S0,000,-
00C people, to be delivered before Oc-
tober Sd. is the task to which the Pres
ident is now devoting much time. Be
side the half dozen speeches he will
be called on for as many eXtemporane-
Gus talks.
The President is to terminate his va
cation with dash through the middle
West and South. He will appear first
at Canton, Ohio, September 3Oth. At
Kcokuk, Iowa, Mr.. Roosevelt will
speak again, and while no intimatiou
has been made as to the character of
his address, it is thought it will deal
with the problems of the day. At this
place the President will begin his
cruise of the Mississippi, aboard
steamer bearing the rivers name.
The river trip will be punctuated
with functions at St. Louis, where an
other speech will be delivered, at
Cairo and at Memphis, where the
cruise will end.
On the way by train back to Wash
irgton there are indications that the
President will yield to the importuni-
ties which are coming to him for more
talks and that he will speak to the
people of Nashville and Chattanooga
or some other selected point.

TEN MILLION
FOR COLORADO
EASTERN CAPITALISTS MAKE AN
An EXTENDED VISIT AND NOW
READY TO SPEND.
MORE BIG RESERVOIRS
HEAVY INVESTMENTS IN LAND
AND WATER SCHEMES ARE
FORTHCOMING,

Denver.-Ten million dollars to in.
vest in Colorado lands and irrigation
projects. This will help lot in the de-
velopment of Northern Colorado. To
show that the offer is in good faith
the Pennsylvania crowd who are maxi
ing it have already $1,000, 900 in Colo
rado ranches, improvements and cat
tie. Among these investors are:
General James A. Beaver, ex-gover-
nor of Pennsylvania and a prominent
capitalist.
Charles H. Kittredge, Boston
banker.
John H. Morse, president of the Old
Colony Life Insurance Company OF
Chicago.
James H. Kendall, retired mann
facturer of Boston.
Thomas and Gilbert A. Beaver, New
York, capitalists and sons of General
Beaver.
The party left on a special train for
Chicago. They came here very quietly
two weeks ago and arranged a trip
with the Colorado State Commercial
Association representatives and Fred
Johnson, representative of the cattle
interests of the state, through Routt
and Rio Blanco county, to look over
their interests and consider addi-
tional investments.
To Save the Water
The trip began at the Crescent Cat
tie Company's properties near Divide:
next the party went through South
Park and Rife was visited. The party
went through Meeker, along the Bear
river country, and to Kremmling. They
viewed Lilly park and after a thorough
and aYh1nStiVp pyamiD tipn pf
country returned to Denver
General Beaver said at the Brown
hotel: THE thing that has struck me
most forcibly is your great waste of
water. Irrigation is surely in its in
fancy in Colorado. The waters should
be stored at the heads of the streams
and run through bitches that will con-
serve every drop.
We have seen the most magnificent
reservoir sites on our present trip and
back in Pennsylvania, New York and
Massachusetts is the money to build
these storage places and conserve the
water to the greatest advantage.
Our people have more than a mil
lion dollars out here now and there is
ten times as much money left for fur
ther investment. Colorado seems to
me to be a land pregnant with possible
tiles of great profit.
81 can promise you that much heav-
ier Investments in land and water
schemes are forthcoming.
Values Will Grow.
Mining is uncertain, but there Is
only so much land in the country and
the acreage will not increase. The
value of land in Colorado will never
be lower than the market price today
Instead it will constantly increase.
But as safe an investment as land
is money. put into conservative irriga-
ton projects"
At Meeker and Steamboat Springs
the citizens gave dinners and recep-
tions to the party The members are
returning home filed with enthusiasm
for Colorado land and water projects.
More than this, they already have
investments under favorable consider
alton that will mean $lO,000,O0G at
least for the development Of Northern
Colorado
Two companies for the distribution
of large amounts of money will be or
ganized as quickly as the party
reaches Philadelphia.

those cycle skates with the big rubber
wheels and we used to exercise with
'em at night, on the paths, sir. They'd
go right over the leaves and grass,
too, if it was pretty sharp down hill
We always went to the river, sir, when
we could dive into the mouth of the
old tunnel, if need be. We never had
to do it but once. That was the time
you and the other gentleman first saw
us. sir. Most generally the folks would
be so frightened that they would rum
and then we could drop behind bush
and take off the sheets, like we did
the night you had mother and Mr..
jerks down by the path, sir"
But about the notes and the cigar
case Bobbs? How did you manage
that?" l asked.
Bobbs tearfully produced q small
monkey, not much larger than kit
ten, from one of his pockets and,
stroking the little animal affectionate
ly, he said with emotion:
1T was Chico, sir. Mr. Carney
brought him for a pet and he is almost
human, sir, and will. do anything you
tell him. He's SO sly, sir. that he can
pick your pocket in broad daylight, sir,
and you'll never find him out l don't
know about the cigar case, sir. but the
day after you came last summer he
got away and must have been in the
library, where you and the other gen
!tleman were looking for something.
After you'd gone to the village. sir,

chairs, clinging to the bottom. and
