Start of the Trouble.

Murdoch and Weinand are electric
ians in the employ of the Denver Gas
& Electric Co. The latter lives at the
boarding house kept by Mrs. Moriarty
on Fifteenth street. Murdoch and his
wife also boarded there when they
first came to Denver Both men are
q years old.
Murdock's party, in hired surrey,
drove out to Petersburg yesterday af-
ternoon. Toward midnight, according
to their story, the crowd at the resort
there became SO boisterous that they
decided to leave. AS they came to-
ward the city they were overtaken by
several rigs containing the chief dis
turbing element they had just left.
Broadway, along which they were
driving, is torn UP in the vicinity of
Alameda, permitting only one vehicle
to proceed at q time. Mrs. Murdoch
and Weinand say the merrymakers be-
hind them dashed their horses until
they got ahead, and then drove with
exasperating slowness to prevent any
one else getting by. But presently
Weinand watched his chance and
slipped ahead. This, he said, angered
the others. and insults began to fly
thick and fast.
