Finest Resorts Of the Country

the way of enhancing the attractions
of Glenwood as summer resort has
been initiated through the purchase by
j. NJ. Allen of st. Louis of the Thomp-
son ranch on Mitchell creek near the
Glcnwood fish hatcheries.
The ranch is one of the most at
tractive spots in the vicinity of Glen
wood from which it is easy of access,
being only three miles west of here,
and the plans of Mr.. Allen promise to
make it the most attractive place for
an outing in this vicinity
Mr.. Allen, who is n wealthy bust
ness man of the Missouri metropolis,
proposes to convert the ranch into
country club of the most approved
manner and his standing and ability to
carry out large and elaborate plans is
full assurance that Glenwood is to have

Oklahoma Horror Grows Hour.

Never Be Known
women ARE Frantic
Special to the Post.

M'ALLlSTER. Okla Aug. 81
Twenty-ni"c bodies have already been
taken from the Haley Coal mine No.
! at Hailcyville, Is miles east of here,
where the entire day shift was en-.
tombed by an explosion yesterday.
Over 80 were underground and it is
not believed that any escaped.
Fire followed the explosion and the
blaze is still raging fercely, making
rescue work hazardous in the extreme.
The remains of the 90 victims brought
to the surface today are so badly
burned and mutilated as to make iden-
tification almost impossible. 1t is pro-
bable that no trace of those still re-
manning in the mine will ever be found.
The explosion was caused by barrel
of oil taking fire. 1t blew up spreading
the fire to other sections of the under
ground workings and shut off all ave-
nue. of escape for the miners.
The scenes at the mine entrance are
heart rending. Wives and mothers,
grown up sons and daughters, younger
children and even infants, have been
at the scene all night, hoping against
hope that their relative might by some
chance be taken out alive.

DEMOCRATS HOPELESSLY SPLIT

DENVER, Aug. 26--The once power.
full Bailey committee of the Democratic
party of this city has acknowledged the
superiority of the Speer faction by
turning down resolution calling for a
fight this fall and adopting resolu
tion, the import of which is to beg for
as much as possible and take whatever
is offered. Thus the faction of the
Democratic party, which two years ago
controlled completely and which lost
that control by its failure to carry the
state, acknowledges its defeat. Those
who spoke in favor of the action and
those who spoke against it were con-
current in the belief that the action
meant the practical control of the party
this fall by Denver's utility corpora
tions.
In many respects there was an ele-
ment of sadness in the meeting. Two
years ago the committee resolved that
it was the only simon pure Democratic
committee in the city, that it was the
only committee that stood for Demo-
cratic principles. 1t made such gal
liant fight before the state convention
that the members of that organization
recognized it and turned down the re-
gular legal Democratic delegation to
that convention.
The next day the successful faction
betrayed the trust imposed the day

Knowing the desperate character of
the accused man the sheriff went in the
night to make the arrest. He attempt
ed to steal quietly to the house but
Brennan's faithful watch dog detected
him and sounded an alarm, giving his
master time to prepare for the officer
When the sheriff approached the
house he was met at the door by the
wanted man. Brennan leveled a rifle
at his head and ordered him to throw
up his hands. The officer retreated, re-
turing to Granite where he swore in
number of deputies. The posse, heavily
armed went to the mountain habitation
of the outlaw the next day but Bren-
nan from point of vantage on the hill
side opened fire on them when they
were several hundred yards away and
a desperate battle was fought. The Of
feers believed that he was hidden in
the bushes and they sent hundreds of
shots into the brush, leveling the
growth. They believed they had killed
Brennan but feared to approach the
spot in the dark. The next day when
they made an examination they founi
that the man had escaped.
He was traced across country for
hundreds of miles, but finally eluded
the officers. The search had been tax
en- up at intervals since but no trace
of the fugative could be had.
Brennan had bad reputation at
Cripple Creek where he lived for years
Deputy County Clerk Ports knew the
man well and his Identification of the
suspect, is believed by the police, to

WARM GREETING FOR
BRYAN IN KANSAS

TOPEKA, Kans., Aug. 27-The capi
tai city of Kansas today was the nee
ca for Democrats from three states,
come to hear William ]. Bryan speak
on the subject of the guaranty de-
posit law for banks. The speech, as
previously announced, was to form one
of the keynotes of the Democratic ma
tonal campaign.
On his arrival from the east Mr.
Bryan was met at the train by local
reception committee and the members
of the Democratic state committee of
Kansas. Through streets which were
decorated for the occasion the presi-
Dental candidate was escorted to the
hotel Thropp, where lucheon was
served.
The state authorities having refused
permission for the speech making to
take place on the grounds of the capi-
tol it was decided to hold the demon
stration at the city park, where an i'm
mense. crowd congregated an hour or
more before the time scheduled for the
appearance of Mr.. Bryan. Several
bands furnished music for the occasion
and there were Introductory speeches
from prominent representatives of the
Democratic party in Kansas. Mr.. Bry-
an rode in an open carriage from the
hotel to the park and was greeted all
along the route with cheers from the
crowds that thronged the sidewalks.
Another rousing ovation awaited him
when he appeared on the speakers plat
form and was introduced to the vast
sssemblsge that filed the park and
| overran into the adjoining streets.

and costly club building, the establish
ment of private fish hatcheries and ex.

which lie in charming little valley
amid the most picturesque surround
ings.
The work of Transforming the ranch
will begin very shortly the plan being
to work on it all winter so that the
place may be thrown open when the
summer season of next year begins AMI
Mr.. Allen has engaged Saxton Craw-
ford of Memphis, Tenn, to superin
tend the work.
1t is the intention to make the place
an ideal, high class resort which will
be open to the general public and as
the need has long been recognized of
such a place in connection with the at
fractions Glenwood now offers to visit.
ors it is confidently believed that moth
ing but the most gratifying success can
attend the venture. To visitors at the
Hotel Colorado it will appeal particu-
larly as it will offer opportunity for
the most delightful little outings.

before by selecting the best known
corporation attorney in the state to be
his state chairman. From then on its
doom was sealed. Event after event
followed in rapid succession until at
Glcnwood few weeks ago the delega-
tion under its banner was turned out
of the tent in driving rainstorm and
resolutions were adopted which COM
pletely tied it hand and foot.
Those resolutions provided that
Chairman Bailey or his wing of Demo
cracy should name one of the three
Judges in each precinct for primary
purposes, that State Chairman Milton
Smith should name the second of the
three and that the two should agree
upon the third. If an agreement could
not be reached theu Smith was to
name the third. The effect of the reso-
luton was that Bailey would name one
and Smith would name two, but Smith
will name the two Speer ones. Bailey
is recognized as the county chairman,
but with the recognition is a hog-tie
which makes Speer practically the
chairman.
Thus the corporations will control
the convention, instruct for corpora
tion senator, nominate q corporation
supreme court and perhaps give to the
other side = few Of the Offices, the au-
thority Of which can mover be arranged
against corporation desires.

ty. His identification was made bv the

The prisoner refuses to either deny
or affirm his guilt but the police claim
to have enough evidence to fasten the
crime upon him. fhey- are now en-
gagged in tracing the movements of the
suspect and expect by tomorrow to
have positive evidence of his connec-
ton with the killing.
Patrolman Stephens was shot down on
his beat in South Denver shortly after
he had gone on duty at 8 o o'clock Tues
day night. On leaving the station
house he was ordered to investigate
several robberies on his beat and was
also told to be on the lookout for
horse thieves which had taken off
scores of valuable animals in the I'm
iversity Park section.
AS he alighted from the car at South
Pearl and Evans street he detected
man riding down the road leading two
horses. He stood in the shadow of
tree and when the rider approached
ordered him to halt.
The mounted man answered with a
volley of shots. Stephens drew his gun
and duel at close range ensued. Six
shots were exchanged. One bullet en-
tered the officer breast and caused
death before he could be removed to
the office of physician a mile away.
He was unable to give any descrip-
ton of his slayer his only utterance
being ga horse thief did it."
News of the killing was flashed to
the central station and within an hour
every member of both the police and
detective departments had been dis
patched to the scene in automobiles and
a systematic search for the slayer was
begun. All that night and yesterday
they worked, securing every inch of the
country for miles around but found no
trace of the fugitive.
Yesterday afternoon clew develop
ed which led to the arrest of the man
supposed to be Brennan. Just what evi-
dence the police have to connect him
with the killing is not known but they
express confidence in having the right
party.
If the prisoner is proven to be Bren'
nan and the police even fail to get
more evidence than they have at this
moment, it is believed his past record
will convict him.
Brennan served one term in the peni
| tentiary for murder and there are now
several charges of horse stealing hang
| ing over his head. In 1885 he killed
cook. in Salida and was given Is
years in prison but was pardoned by
Governor Orman before he had served
out his term.
He had been in various scrapes since
that time, the most noted occurring last
