as usual. como in droves, left Chafiee in
a bad way financially. He returned TO
Colorado and partially rehahlitated his

as fortune seemed 20 be smiling again
Chaffce died.
Fannie Chaffee's representatives told
her she would realize little from her
fathers once great fortune. She herself
then took matters out OF their hands
and paid n visit to D. II. Moffat. Doubt
less he had seen how matters stood and
invited her 10 come. At any rate. Moffat
took hold of the wreck of Chaffec's for

I<ttredgc block In Denver. which she
would have lost had she been unable 10

was told to draw on Moffat for her in

One OF the principal matters of i'm

he the proposed new city stables The
committee OF tho whole will recommend
that the council adopt plans and speclfi-
cations as prepared by the city engineer,
and that the board OF public works be
authorized TO advertise for bids for the
construction OF the stables. The final
action of The council on the matter. how
ever Is slightly indefinite, as some OF
tho members are doubtful " the stables
are needed as badly as are other city
improvements,
The engineering committee will recon-
mend that tho city take immediate ac-
ton toward the establishment of a munl-

unlikely that steps toward the estab-

thought that the committee on municipal
