had been received as to the result OF
this course. II Frazer's belief that

cial dispatch from Walden to TIT
Republican this afternoon, showing
that Summers is a man who has 6
criminal record to start with. About
two years ago a horse was stolen al
Colorado Springs and sold to Hartford
Loucks at Walden, a liveryman in
North park. The man who sold the
animal was afterwards arrested a,
kremmlin, Colo, on a warrant from
Ell Paso county, and sentenced to one
year in the state reformatory at Buena
Vista.
At Walden Last Year.
Last year Summers was again in
the park, the young man being recog
nized as the one who had sold the
horse and served time. He received
mail at Walden. Later he is said to
have worked in one of the grading
camps at Centennial, where he now
has a friend, and Marshal Davis of
Walden, who was at The Republican
office this afternoon, believes that
Summers is trying to make his way
to Centennial, where he will meet his
friend, receive food and ammunition,
with all the news available, and again

Giving Dog a Start.
From Walden it is reported that a
bundle of undertaking belonging to
Summers was sen to the posse at
Woods landing this morning, to be
used in giving the Horton bloodhound
the scent in the effort to trail the mur-
derer to his hiding place. Summers
left his clothes in his room at the ho-

he discarded them.

Marshal Davis of Walden brings the
report that Summers may have been
seen by a member of one of the pos

did not know how to handle his gun

Thouoht Case unlmportant.

Elmer Lovejoy, who took Sheriff
Bath to Chimney park in his automo-
bile, says that the sheriff did not at
tach much importance to summers
and his crime in Walden. He told the
chauffeur that it was a foolish erranl,
as Summers, perhaps, had gotten into
a fight with his employer, and fearing
arrest in the police court, had fed. 1t
is likely that when Sheriff Bath left
the automobile at Chimney park and
started up the road on Porter's horse,
he was paying more attention TO the
tracks in the road and to a far-away
glance than to any immediate danger.
1t was then, it is believed, that Sum,
mers, more crafty than the sheriff had
given him credit for being, had de-
liperately aimed at the man, the sec

Was Badly Frightened.
That Summers was badly frightened
after shooting Bath is shown by his
actions. He started to drag the body,
face downward, to the side OF the road
and behind a log, but the body was
not hidden. The sherif's pistol, n
of the few things that Summers would
need most, was left in his pocket, in
plain sight as the body lay face down

 Port. au Prince. July 5--A serious fire broke out here, about ? o'clock this afternoon in the vicinity of the palace and senate building. The flames spread quickly, there being a high wind. and soon reached most alarming propor- tions. Four hundyel buildings were burned. including the court house and the. prison. All of the prisoners. who included q number of women, were talk en to other quarters before the build ing took fire
 About o'clock sparks were carried to the arsenal. which also was destroy ed, together with stores of powder and munitions. The burning of the arsenal was accompanied by many heavy ex- plosloHs.,. The firemen were aided by q large section of the populace in fight ing the flames and force from the French cruiser Chesseloup- -Laubat but notwithstanding their efforts 1t seemed almost impossible to prevent the fur ther spred of the conflagratioI. ii For q time panic prevailed, but later, as the Intensity of the fire deniniehed, the people became more calm. Heavy explosions, however, continue. Several hours after the fire started the land- : ihg station of the cable company, which is located near the arsenal. was sur rounded by flames and itis probable that communication by that means will soon be interrupted.

 agers.

Denver, July 5,--Josiah' Marvel and Richard J. Beamish, the campaign managers for George Gray of Della ware, yesterday mailed an open let tetr to all delegates to the convention urging the nomination of Judge Gray for president and William J. Bryan for vice president. The letter in part says.
 Tt is urged by Mir Bryan's friends that George Grays candidacy for the vice presidency would bring to the party large proportion of the inde- pendent and the heretofore iukewarm democratic vote in doubtful eastern states To this assertion we make the amendment that George Gray for the presidency would mean the whole of that vote and would make certain a democratic victory in those states, This success will give to MT. Bryan an opportunity to sit in the councils and to participate in the adminis- trative functions of the national gov ernment. It will serve as test for him and his ideas and will familiarize the people of this nation with his ability as an executive.
 Tt will make him the undisputed head of the party four years hence and will insure his election for pres ident at that time. It will preserve the party from the factionalism that has rent It In recent years and will make 1t the dominant force in this country for more than a generation" /"
