Monument May Mark Pixies
Fort

Brig. General, Earl D. Thomas an.
nounced yesterday that the question of
providing suitable monument for the
explorer, Zebulon M. Pike will be
brought to the attention of the state
legislature at the coming session. II
is proposed to mark the site of Gen.
Pixies old Fort on. the Conejos rive,
with a suitable monument and to re-
build. the old stockade. The active
supporters of the plan are Judge Chas.
D. Hayt, Gen. Thomas and Luther A.
Norland, County Commissioner of
Conejos County.
Gen Fixes stockade was built by him
when he was a major in February 1907.
1t marked the Western limit of his first
expedition into the Rocky mountains.
His party was captured Feb. 26 by a
party of Spaniards sent out by the Mex
ican government, taken to Texas and
later to Chihauhau. The stockade was
destroyed.
The exact location of the fort has
never been settled. Gen. Thomas and
Judge Hayt will got to La lara, near
which it is believed the fort stood, and
attempt to locate the spot. They pro.
badly will choose the sight for the re-
built fort and monument, which may
be erected near the railroad station at
La lara, some eight miles from the ori-
ginal fort.
A monument near the Antlers hotel
at Colorado Springs is the only tribute
to the work of Gen. Pike in opening up
the Rocky mountain Country that has
been so far made.

GREE MURDER

expected Verdict Last

Genyko Mitsunaga, a japanese on
trial for the murder of Mrs. Rigley
Wilson was Thursday night found gull
ty in the first degree with a recommen-
dation that he be kept in prison the re-
mainder of his natural life.
The verdict will come surprise to
the public in general, because the feel
ing was that the state had failed to
make its case. Attorney Hilton tor
. the defense gave notice of an appeal.
DThe prisoner took the verdict in the
same stoical manner that had been his
throughout the trial.
The Japanese went to the Wilson
home last summer to wash windows.
Afterwards the body of Mrs. Wilson
was found in the basement. The Jap,
anese had run away. He maintained
after he was arrested that some white
man was in the house and forced hin
to help dispose of her body. His rea
son for leaving was that he was afraie
being in a strange lard.
His attorney maintained that th'
woman's husband had knowledge OF th'
murder because of the previous family
o1arrels, The state claimed that thu
Japanese had killed her during dis
pute as to the amount uf money III
should be paid for washing thirtee'
windows. During the trial Japanes'
minister to whom the prisoner had toll
his story as religious advisor ant
councillor went on the stand and re
told it.

SMALL BOY CAUSED II
Men, Women and Children Join In
Wild Fight to Escape.-severaI
Faint, but Only One Person,
. Woman, Hurt.

Schenectady, New York. - The
main tent Of the Barnum and Bailey
circus caught fire at the afternoons
performance, when the great canvas
walled Enclosure was crowded with
$4,000 persons and burned completely
within less than an hour. A panic
started at the first outcry and In an
instant thousands we're engaged in q
mad scramble for the exits. The cir.
Gus employees kept their heads and
worked valiently to check the excite.
ment but in the rush for safety they
were swept aside. Several of them
were knocked down and trampled
under the feet of the frantic crowd.
Men, women and children tumbled
of the high-decked tiers of narrow
blue seats to scramble and fight with
one another in an effort to reach the
earth below. They ran into the rings,
entangling themselves in the guy ropes
and fell over the show gear. One
woman was injured but not severity
and hundreds tainted and were car
ried out by the policemen, firemen and
showpeople.
The fire is thought to have started
from a lighted match that was drop
ped by boy in the bleachers. The
blaze started on guy rope and
climbed to the roof, which burned as
If it had been coated with oil. The
flames spread fast, feeding on acre
wide stretches of dry cloth and the
painted poles.
In an incredibly short time the
whole of the main top was ablaze.
The wind eddying under the side
walls made cross currents that sent
blazing brands flying in every direc.
ton.
First reports were that all the spec
tators had escaped in safety. A min
ute or two later word came that
number of persons had been crushed
in the press or injured by falling rig
ging, but that so far as could be as
certained, no one had been killed out.
right.
This last report turned out to be
an exaggeration, however. Before
very long, the circus management was
able to assure the city authorities
that only single spectator had been
burnt and that while a few of the cir
Gus people had been injured by falling
debris, none of them was in serious
condition.
While some of the circus staff,
aided by performers, policemen and
cooler headed citizens, tried to re.
strain the rush, the canvasmen and
animal trainers, working with the dis
cipline of perfect organization, struck
the menagerie and the lesser tents
and removed all the stock, the Gagged
animals and the horses to places of
safety without casualties.

In an effort to induce the Washing

gone to Washington, the United States
attorney general having granted him
hearing.
Although Mr.. Grigsby himself has

Grigsby brought about the indictment
of this representative of the Guggen-

Office of the federal attorney general
commenced soon after the indictment
was returned.
Grigsby was notified first to send in
his resignation, and when he refused
to do this he was removed from office
by telegraph, but later he was granted
a hearing and now has gone to Wash
ington as before stated, for the pur-
pose of presenting his side of the case.
