Robbers Booty Merely Large 6unct

When Hall McAllister was playing

he was In the habit OF running across
the alley during his idle second act. to

theater next door.
One night, as he started over. he
thoughSof the $50. 900 in stage money
which he must have In the last act.
and, to reassure himself. he opened
his coat and took the package half out
Of his pocket. In another minute he
found himself pushed hard against
the door, the imitation money gone.

It is likely that the most embar-
rassed man could be found In a Sixth
avenue store, says the New York
Times. He was mild. inoffensive
looking man. He stood leaning over
the balcony that surrounds the first
floor Of the store, looking with inter-
est at the crowd below. Presently his
eye alighted on a small boy who was
being rushed from counter to counter
in tow. OF 4 very large woman. Just

boy looked up at him. Instinctively

DOING FINE-L. L. Lambeth
and Alex Walker, the two men in
jured in smashup at the United
States Portland Cement plant at
at Concrete yesterday morning,
are getting along fine, but their in
juries are little more painful
than at first reported. Walker had
two teeth knocked out, two others
broken. his mouth was cut and his
face lacerated. The right arm is
injured, but the bone is not broken
and the left heel was almost peeled.
Lambeth had his face cut and torn
and his eyes blackened. That the
men were not killed outright is due
to the fact that the car in which
they were riding went through the
testing first and they followed.
If they had gone down with the
cars both men might have been Kill

CARE SHOULD BE ExER.
CIsED IN USE OF WATER

Since so many cities in Colorado
are clamoring for water and their
reservoirs are going dry, it tbehoocs
the water users of this city TO use
care in amount used daily especially
on the lawns in the evening.
There is yet no reason for fear, as
it is estimated that there is enough
conserved in the two reservoirs to
supply the needs until the first of
September, but since there is no
way Of telling how long this drought
is to last, the time to begin saving
the water is at present. A special
report was made to the city council
by Water Supt. Killian and he says
that there is twenty feet of water
in reservoir No. l ind eighteen feet
in No. 2. Mr.. Killian figures that
the supply now on hand, with what
will run in from the mountains in
the meantime, will last Florence
until the first of September. The
inflow is as low now as it has ever
been, namely, only one and one
half inches of water in the bottom
of a 2 twelve-inch pipe. just how
long even this amount of water
will continue to run can not be told.
The city council is to pass an
The daily tribune., 1908-06-26

ordinance regulating the hours du-
ring which lawn owners may al
low water to run onto their lawns.
At this time there is NO orli-
nance, a. they charge for excess
water, no limit can beset. But
after this ordinance goes into effect
the use of water at any and all
times ran be regulated by the conn
Gil. This ordinance is to be draft
ed to cover such conditions as Flo
renee is now facing. If there are
several good rains between this
date and the first of September,
the city may succeed in conserving
enough to supply the city through
the winter, provided the snow fall
is equal TO the average in the
mountains, but if the drough is to
continue for weeks to come and
the water supply is not to be re-
plenished, it will be necessary to
start the pump and Florence will
face the same conditions as it did
several years ago.
There is nothing to be alarmed
over at this time, but care must be
used in the use OF water, or else
the conditions may grow to be
alarming. Supt. Kill an has sue
ceeded in stopping the waste of
SO much water through leaky
hydrants and this will help some.
Florence is indeed very fortunate
in having enough water to carry it
through the summer, considering
the number of towns that are now
about to face a famine.
Among others that can be men,
toned are Colorado Sp rings, Grip
pie Creek and Victor.

SWEETHEART
CHARLES DALE, CHARGED WITH
THEFT OF DIAMOND FROM FOR

ABLE STORY IN co0RT.

Charles Dale, the young man re-
Gently brought back from Ovid, Mich,
on a charge Of stealing a $500 diamond
ring from Albert J. Woodwork, Of
this city, put up a most remarkable
defense on his examination before
Justice Jeffries, Tuesday morning.
According to Dale, no lover could
be more attentive to his fiancee than
was Woodward to him. He declared
that Woodwork had frequently CIV
en- him money. clothes and shoes. paid
for his laundry bills and even given
him the diamond which he Is charged
with having stolen. He testified also
that Woodwork had promised to give
him an orange grove In Florida and
set him up in the fruit business there
II he would accompany the former on
a trip through the south. The ring.
he said. was given him short time
before the two took an eastern trip
together.
At the time OF his arrest. Dale was
on hiS way TO see his sweetheart with
a view to getting married. Wood
worth, he says, objected, to the match
and caused his arrest on the charge
OF stealing the diamond to prevent
its fulfillment.
Justice Jeffries, however. decided
to hold Dale for trial in the record
er's court, and fixed his bail at $500
with two sureties, which Dale has not
as yet.

DEFENDS NAME Of
HER MURDERED
SISTER
MISS ELIZABETH MONAGHAN
SAYS MRS. LlNAHAN WAS GOOD
WOMAN, LONG ILL-TREATEp BY
HUSBAND WHO SLEW HER.

Miss Elizabeth Monaghan. of No.
ITO Meldrum-ave.. sister Of Mrs. T. !.
Linahan, who was shot by her hus-
band last Wednesday afternoon In
their rooms on Park-pl. and who az
forwards died from the effects of the
wounds, bitterly resents the refiec'
lions on the character of her sister
made by Linaman.
I'm giving out reports against the
character of my sister. Linahan
sought only to justify his cowardly
and brutal murder" declared Miss
Monaghan, Tuesday. AT the time Of
the crime, we were anxious to escape
notoriety, and thus remained. silent,
but we now believe we must say
something to protect the name Of our
dead sister.
"In the first place, Linahan and my
sister were married about 10 years
ago In Windsor in st. Alphonsus'
church, as is plainly shown by the
records. and not by an Episcopal rec
tor, as has been said. From the first,
he abused her to such an extent that
she was ashamed to be known as his
wife. He left her shortly after their
marriage, and for 10 years contribut-
ed nothing to her support, with the
exception OF once or twice they lived
together for a short time.
ION one occasion he struck her,
took the last cent she had and left
her, although she begged him not to
take her money. Forced to go to
work, she was supporting herself and
knew nothing OF his whereabouts.
only at times when he would appear
without money and appeal to her for
aid. Under these circumstances. she
was ashamed to admit she had hus-
band, and for this reason started the
restaurant under her maiden name.
About two months ago, Linahan ar
rived In Detroit without cent and
went to her for assistance. She was
so kind-hearted that she gave him
what she could spare. Although he
struck her on numerous occasions she
tried TO screen him and did not tell
her people Of his abuse.
"Iinahan said she did not go to her
home nights, but she came here just
as she said she did, and on one oc-
casion had a black mark on her face
where he had struck her. and broken
here teeth. Linahan claimed he saw
her coming from q saloon and her
waist was torn. Now, as matter OF
fact. we have the shirt waist and
there is not a-mark on II. She was
a good woman, as can be attested by
every one who knew her, and he Is
simply seeking to shield himself by
besmirching her reputation.
I'VE know that her name will be
cleared at Linahan's trial. and were 1t
not for the false light In which he
has placed her, we would wait until
that time to have everything set
right"
A warrant charging Linahan with
the murder of his wife was issued by
Police Justice Jeffries, Tuesday morn
ing. on the complaint of Signal Officer
William II. Downie. it will be several
days, however, before Linahan. who
is In st. Mary's hospital recovering
from a self-infiicted wound, will be
In condition for arraignment.
