DueSeHue, WyO., Aug. Z5.--f oI LlS-
President Roosevelt's stay in Chey-
enne, came to a close this morning.
He left at 1885 for Denver. Before he
left the colonel said that the two days
in Cheyenne had been delight to him
and that he was sorry to leave. One
of the speeches which Colonel Roose-
velt is, to make in Denver today will
be before the Colorado Legislature.
Some of the friends of direct primar-
les have been hoping that he will
touch upon that subject, but it is I'M
likely that he will do so. 1t has been
the colonel's practice not to speak on
state issues unless he feels he is
thoroughly acquainted with the local
situation.
Rousing Welcome at Denver.
Denver, Colo, Aug. 29.--The roll of
artillery, booming out salute OF

them" was the request of the colonel
and his stand for the simple life at the

hearts of the stockmen. The mead

been besieged by numbers who askeo
despairingly: "Say, have we got TO
climb into one of those dress suits

rada which was reviewed by Colonel
Roosevelt was passing Eighteenth and
fremont streets, the horse ridden by
T. A. Williams of Delta, Colo, one Oh
the body guards of sheriffs, became
frightened and Williams revolver was

nloded when it hit the ground. VIII
Jams was riding behind Colonel
Roosevelt and for moment the po
lice feared an attempt had been made
to assassinate the former President
The bullet struck Williams in the les
but did not wound him seriously. The
passage of the Rough Riders division
was one of the most picturesque fea
lures of the entire parade. The colo
mel took off his hat and peered into
the faces of the men, occasionally
recognizing men he had known in the
Cuban campaign.
