An InCipient Blaze.
(From Fridays Daily.)

The fire department was called out
yesterday afternoon about 3 80 o'clock
the scene being at 5. Molzann's build
ing, corner Third and Madison streets.
The fire started in some mysterious
manner in the cupola ON the building.
1t is mystery for the reason that
the cupola is shut of from the build
ing. There are no chimneys or
electric wires therein, a fact that is
causing considerable speculation as to
the origin. Fortunately the flames
were extinguished before much dam
age was done.

MEETS DEATH VIA
SUICIDE ROUTE
FRANK ALBRIGHT FOUND HAG-
ING IN BARN SUNDAY.
Sister Mortified at Discovery About
an Hour After He Had Eaten
His Dinner-Mind Said to Have
Been a Little UnbdldnCed-Evi
dentlv Premeditdted.

Frank Albrecht, a sing lie man about
thirty four years of age, met death
via the suicide route Sunday after
neon. The. rash act was committed On
the John Brockmann farm, three miles
northwest of the city.
August Albrecht. brother. had
rented the farm ard The man who
committed suicide had teen working
for him. He is said to have been act
ing queer for some time. In fact,
about Year ago it was suggested
that he be sent TO some state institu-
ticn for treatment and care. His rel
atives, however, would not listen to
such and he was cared for by his
brother. 1t is said that at times Frank
Albrechr was apparently not sound
mentally. However, he was at no time
considered al all dangerous, or Was 1t
thought that he won d do such an act.
There was nothing about his actions
Sunday that would lead to believe that
he contemplated self destruction. He
ate It's dinner as usual and conversed
with those about him. He left the
house after partaking of his dinner.
About 80 O'Clock, his sister had oc-
casiol to go the barn and was Mortified
to find the body of her brother dangl-
ing from a rope. 1t would seem that
the suicide was premeditated and 1t
Is thought that the man had made
all preparations before going to his
dinner, as the rope had been tied to a
loft beam with great care. When
fonud. his feet were resting on a lower
NOW beam and his head tipped to
one side being in a standing 70 ion.
Word was sent to the city rs SOON
as the discovery was made. DR.. 4.

gentlemen. were soon ut the scene,
the body being cut down upon their
arrival.

ed on the railway. T.

RumbleS of the Rail.

Both the Milwaukee, and the North
western railroads have decided to
lengthen the time of their fast trains
between Milwaukee and Chicago and
make them two hour trains hereafter,
with the exception OF the trains leav-
ing on each road at in the afternoon,
which will make the distance in /
hour and 55 minutes. 1.-The schedule
has not yet been fully arranged, .
says w. D. Cantillion of the North
western road, "but we have decided
that we ought to have a reasonable
time at our disposal to make the
eighty five miles with our trains.
The time OF the fast trains has
been a little to swift for regular
service with all the stops we have to
make - The two roads had number
of trains which made the run between
the two cities in hour and as minutes.
Other trains that made the run in
over two hours remain unchanged in
time.

GENERAL STRIKE OF
SWITCHMEN EXPECTED

Denver, July 30.-That the entire
body OF union switchmen will be
called out by Grand Master Morrissey
unless the Colorado & Southern Rail-
way company yields to the demands
of the already striking switchmen of
that road, is the general opinion of
the strikers, and this sentiment was
voiced by the strikers who attended
the meeting Of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen at the Club build
ing yesterday afternoon, Just after
they had listened attentively to q
brotherly talk by Mr.. Morrissey.
The C. & 8. strikers claim that the
switchmen and yardmen Of other roads
are willing, and some OF them anxious
to yalk out in a sympathetic strike.
The strikers claim they are simply
giving the Colorado & Southern ample
time to decide the course of their
actions but In the event that they do
not meet the switchmen's expectations,
the result. they say, is liable to be dis
astrous to the trafac OF the west
II the strike Is not amicably settled
between the Southern and its striking
switchmen, and other railroad en-
ployes are calle out, western CONNER
cial activity will be stopped and all
movement between Denver, Chicago or
San Francisco will be practically tied
up, 1t is said.

JUDGE WHITFORD KNOCKS
OUT THE RAILROAD BILL

Denver, July 29.-Judge Greeley w.
Whitford sitting in the district court
in this city Saturday dealt a body
blow to the law passed by the last
legislature creating a state railway
commission He held in effect that
the law was unconstitutional because
it exempted mountain roads of less
than twenty miles in length and
therefore it was class legislation. The
attorney generals Office will appeal
the case to the supreme court and
ask for an earl ydecision. In the
meantime the railway commission ap-
pointed by Gov. Buchtel will be pow
erless to act and the state treasurer
has announced that he will not honor
any warrants issued on the appropria-
ton for the railway commission until
after all questions pertaining to the
commissions constitutionality have
been passed upon by the highest court
in the state.
Judge Whitford, in his decision,
which was upon technical questions,
held for the railroads in every parti
cular and announced that permanent
Injunction would be issued from his
court today restraining the commits
sion from performing any of the duties
assigned to it. The permanent in
junction will remain in effect until
1t is dissolved by the higher court
The case was brought by the railroads
of the state in Judge Whitford's court
for the purpose Of testing the validity
Of the law which g1Rnts to the COM
mission certain power.
The last part of Judge Whitford's
decision contains the meat of his
opinion. Among other things he says:
Nor is the inclusion Of the Canon
City and Eastern railroads and the
exclusion of the Silverton railroad a
reasonable classification. Is it ger
name to the purpose Of the act? The
character of the traffic and the length
OF the roads are similar

Of Gold hill Monday morning.

Of trees and went ther for a drink Of
water. The door was seen to be open
and as they approached a horrible
stencil kept Barrett from further ap-
proach. Ware, looking through the
open door, first saw human foot and
then the body. partially clothed, lying
extended on the floor. The coroner
was notified by telephone from the
Ancoria-Leland shaft house about 200
yards distant and later the body was
removed to the morgue In this city.
There are no marks OF violence ON
the corpse and death, 1t is believed.
was due to heart failure.
An inquest will be held today. It
developed that Huffman had formerly
lived in Boulder. He had told friends
here that he was a pensioner and be-
longed to the G. A. r. post at that
city. He had not been seen ct the
stores he visited in this city for over
week and from the condition Of the
corpse It is believed he had been dead
about ten days. An effort II being
made by the adjutant of J. d. Ander-
son post No. 96, @. A. r., Of this city.
to locate relatives or friends of the
deceased.
