Denver.--Kemp V. Biglow pleaded
guilty to the four charges against him
in the West Side Court Saturday,
when he was arraigned before Judge
Bliss. 1t was setting and pleading day
and 1t was the day on which 1t was ex-
pected that the date of BiEow's trial
would be set. When his name was
called. his attorney. d. b. Ellis. arose
and stated that he wished to withdraw
their former plea of not guilty and mo-
tons that he had previously filed, as
his client had decided to plead guilty.
Then Biglow arose, and. in a calm
voice without any show of emotion
whatever. entered plea of guilty to
each of the four charges. The
charges were assault with intent to
kill Governor H. A. Buchtel. Lawrence
Phipps and c. B. Kountze and at
tempting to work confidence game
upon C. B. Kountze
Biglow was convicted when first
tried Of committing simple assault up
on David H. Moffat, which is punish.
able by short Jail sentence. The dis.
trict attorneys office thought that the
boy was getting off with too light a
sentence and asked the court that the
verdict be set aside. This was done,
and he was at once rearrested on the
four charges mentioned above.
Biglow is the "boy-dynamiter," who
believed that he could send dynamite
to Denver's leading citizens and then
then tell them that their lives were in
danger and get, for doing this, a large
reward.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Colorado Springs Sunday night says;
Fighting Bob" Evans, who sails to-
morrow in command OF the Pacihc
bound feet, will, according to his pres
emit plans. visit Colorado Springs after
the completion Of the cruise around
the Horn. He will come here to visit
his sister, Mrs. B. Zevely Of % East
Columbia street.
Rear Admiral Evans will retire as
vice admiral in August after having
completed the long cruise. He will be
met by his wife In San Francisco and.
according to = letter received by his
sister q few days ago in which he out
lined his plans. he expects to return
overland to his home in Washington-
He has promised Mrs. Zevely to sfop
in Colorado Springs for q visit II pos
Sib1e. This will bring him here early
in September.
Admiral Evans has been West only
once before and that was on inytng
trip in 1901 when he was detailed to
act as one of the judges In court
martial at San Francisco. He passed
through Denver at that time, but did
not come to Colorado Springs. Mrs.
Zevely went to Denver to meet him.
Il wish i had a large nag to ny to-
morrow" said Mrs. Zevely this after
noon. Thereupon her little six-year
old granddaughter. Marjorie Williams.
produced a little flag which she had
purchased for Christmas, and said:
II will hang this from the house
and every one will know that Uncle
Bob is taking his fleet out to sea to-
day"

of course he didn't tell me much about

He told me of his plans after his re-

He will then be in San Francisco.
where he will be met by his wife and
they expect to return leisurely over

'1n the future he expects to spend
his winters in Porto Rico with one of
his daughters. whose husband is the
owner Of a large plantation In the
summer he will remain In Boston and
Washington. 1t has been five years
since 1 have seen him.
There have been a great many
stories as to how Robley got his
name" said Mrs. Zevely. 1T has been
said that it dates back to his school
days at Annapolis and also that 1t was
due to various Incidents In his later
naval life, but the episode which really
gave him the name Fighting Bob
occurred in Chile about fourteen years
ago. At that time he was sent to
command q vessel anchored at Val
paraiso and representing the United
States government. 1t was at the
time of an instruction and there had
been some trouble with the marines.
Word was sent to him by the Chilean
government that he would have to sail
within a certain time. He immedi-
ately sent back word in rather forcible
language that he would remain where
he was as long as 1t pleased him, and
that II any one wanted to come and
drive him out he would be at the driv
