quilted in both cases. The evidence
for the state given by three detectives
OF the Burlew Detective Agency. was
uncertain and conflicting, while that Of
the defense was positive and bore the
stamp OF truth. and the court had no
trouble In so finding. One feature OF
the trial was quite noticeable. Never
probably was case tried in Colorado
wherein the professional life among
the race was so largely represented.

Opera Saloon Robbed.

Burglars broke into Montero & Brande's
Opera Saloon at the corner of Railroad
avenue and Iberville street some time be-
tween 1850 and o'clock this morning and
made away with $3.50 in cash, which
was contained in glass concealed be-
meath the counter. In view of the fact
that the burglar apparently had no diff
Guilty in locating the hiding place of this
money. it is believed that the crime was
committed by some one thoroughly famil-
lar with the premises. Entrance to the
saloon was elected by cutting large hole
in the wire screen protecting one of the
windows in the Iberville street wall of the
building. The burglar first made an at
tempt to get into the saloon through the
rear door, but after boring several holes
around the lock he abandoned this effort
and resorted to the window as a mode of
entrance. The police are working on the
case, but have no clue to the identity OF
the culprit.

counts for bullet hole irrhis left shoulder

Immediately afterward. Babin is the
eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ferdinand
Babin, who resided in this city for long
number of years. occupying a dwelling in
Mississippi street. They removed to New
Orleans about two years ago.
| Babin's story is seriously doubted by
the police authorities of the Crescent
City, who are of the opinion that his
wound was self-infiicted. The young man
is now under charges of embezzle-
ment, having been arrested Aug on an
affidavit accusing him of misappropriating
S135 belonging to the Cable Piano Com
pany, by which firm he was employed as q
| collector.
Babin told the police that he returned
home at 1890 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing and was on his way to an Clubhouse
about three hours later when he was con-
fronted by an unknown man, who threw
revolver into his face and commanded
him to keep quiet. Il tried to grab hi:
hand" said Babin, but only succeeded II
showing it to one side. and when he pulled
the trigger the shot struck me in the
shoulder | screamed and my father RAJ
down to my assistance, but the burglar
had already escaped The bullet which
went through the ex-collector's shoulder
was fred at close range. as is attested t
by the powder stains on the undershirt he
wore. The police, however. found nj
trace of burglars or a burglar having
visited the Babin home when they in
spected the premises.
