GEN. WELLS ESCAPED
Attempt Made to Kill Him by Blowing
Up His House.

Telluride, Colo, March 30.-Former
Adjutant General Buckley Wells mar
rowly escaped death or serious injury
at his home from a well planned effort
to assassinate him with a dynamite
bomb. A stick of dynamite, or a pre-
pared bomb was placed under or near
General Wells bed.
General Wells was sleeping, as was
his habit, on an outer porch of the
house, and he was hurled with the.
debris many feet from the wrecked
house. The side of the house was
torn completely out, hardly a stick of
the bed remained, and fragments of
wood were scattered over the neigh
borhood.
Though badly shaken up and bruised
to some extend, General Wells is said
to have escaped without serious injury.
General Wells took a leading part
in the suppression of labor troubles in

year ago, and who it is said has tele-

were located in this city. The couple
were found living in a suite of rooms
on Masonic avenue, well to all appear
ances, and with comfortable surround

peaked, but the parents attributed
this to the hot weather.

man admitted that he had telegraphed
for help, and admitted that the strug-
gle of life had been too much for him,
and that he had made a failure of
everything.
I'VE are different from the others, -
said Cooke. I'VE can not ask friends
to help us, because we threw aside
friends. We laughed at the world
and the world will laugh at us. Late
ly have begun to realize that no man,
however strong he may be or how
ever great may be his incentive, can
buck the world. 1t is older than us
and stronger"
