TRAGEDY AT DURANGO.

man of Dolores. who was brought
here when supposed to be suffering
from only slight wounds. died in the
Durango hospital yesterday.
As result the charge of assault
with intent 70 kill, filed against
Frank DeVottee. prominent cattle
man, has been changed to murder.
O'Donnell was wounded Sunday as
he was walking out of a restaurant
in Dolores after having dinner. De-
Nottee attaok oked him suddenly and
without warning fired twice. One
bullet took off the fingers of his right
hand and the other struck piece
of money in his pocket, and, glancing.
lodged in the fieshy part of the thigh.
Blood poisoning developed and this
caused death.
DeVottee evidently mistook O'Don-
nell for \. b. Dickerson, another
prominent cattleman of Dolores. with
whom he had had trouble. Two
weeks ago DeVottee and Dickerson
engaged in fist fight over the TAX

Washington. Nov. lS.--The tenn
porary roll call of the house of rep
resentatives for the & LIST congress has
been completed and published. 1t
presents complete list of the mem
bers of the new house. as shown by
the unofficial returns and gives the
politics of all of them.
According to this publication. the
next house will consist of 219 repub-
licans and 172 democrats total of
391. as against a total of 3S9 in the
house during the last session. of
whom 223 We're republicans and 166
democrats.
The result is a net loss of from
the republican side and a net gain
of 6 on the democratic side. the dis
crepancy being due to present vacan-
cies.
All told. the democrats gained Il
districts and the republicans ~.
The most marked advance made by
the democrats was in Indiana. the
home of Mr.. Bryan's running mate,
Mr.. Kern. or the entire 3 members
constituting the Indiana delegation,
only two will be republican in the
next congress. whereas in the present
congress there are republicans frsn
that state.
Colorado will not send so many
democrats as Indiana. owing to her
smaller population; but that state
recorded even n greater revolution
in that, whereas all three members
of the present delegation are now re-
publican, in the next house all will
be democratic. 80 80 ss-
