F0ULLY MURDERED
FRED MELLOW IS KILLED BY A
BANDIT IN joENvER.-eopY IS
BROUGHT TO RUSSELL eULcH.

Fred j. Mellow. who until two
years ago was a resident OF Russell
Gulch, where he conducted saloon,
was foully murdered in Denver Fri
day evening Of last week. He was
employed as bartender at the Via
duct saloon, Sixteenth and Wyankoop
streets, and was in the act of count
ing the days receipts, preparatory to
closing, when man entered the
place. The stranger ordered a glass
of beer and after being served, COM
manded Mellow to throw up his
hands. 1t is presumed that Mellow
demurred or made an attempt to get
his gun and was shot There was no
one in the saloon at the time but
Mellow and the hold-up so the exact
details of the killing are not known.
Mellow was shot through the lung
and ran to the baggage room Of the
Union depot. Boys, they got me;
they got me-" he gasped and sank
to the floor. Before medical aid could
be summoned he died.
from the place in the direction of
Fifteenth street. A watchman en-
ployed by the Weicker Transfer COM
pany, in the neighborhood of the
saloon, was attracted by the revolver
shot. He saw the bandit as he fled
toward Fifteenth street and COM
manded him to halt. The man kept
running and the watchman fired two
or three shots after him. Not know
ing that murder had been commit
ted the watchman did not pursue the
bandit.
The money Mellow was counting
was on the back bar and amounted
to less than $4,000. This was scat
tered about the saloon and it is not
likely that the bandit secured to ex-
coed $1,000 for his dastardly crime.
The police have no clue whatever
to work upon and it is doubtful II
the murderer will ever be apprehend-
ed. There was no one in the vicinity
Of the saloon when the hold-up oc-
Cured and the only one who saw the
bandit was the watchman of the
transfer company and he is unable
to give description of the man that
could be followed by the police.
The affair is as sad as it was cow
ardly. Mellow leaves a wife and two
children. He had been working but
few months at the Viaduct bar and
was not satisfied with his position
on account of the location Of the ga
Pon-in section frequented by tough
characters. His brother, John Mellow
and brother-in-law, R. /. Hughes, re-
side in Russell Gulch. The body was
shipped to Russell, where the FUN
eral was held yesterday afternoon un-
der the auspices of the Elks, Of
which order deceased was a member.
He was also a member Of the Red
Men in Black Hawk. To the relatives
the heartfelt sympathy Of many
friends is extended.

President Taft's mild protest against
the college yen has been followed by
the publication in various section. Of
the country of specimens Of collegiate
vocal atrocities. It may be said of
them that they are even worse in type
than they are in use. They seem to
indicate that students struggle with
overbeated enthusiasm and under
developed powers OF expression. a
struggle resulting in series of spas
modic, in articuiate snorts. as if a
strong man in pain We're being held
with a gag in his mouth.
The truth of the college yell Is that
it is the vocalization of artificial en-
thusiasm For that reason it itself is
artificial. 1t needs yell master" It
does not break out spontaneously 1t
is "executed." When real enthusiasm
takes hold of the crowd-w11en a
touchdown has been made or a run
escored-there is real yell. 1t breaks
out. 1t is a shrek The artificial
"yell'' is used to bridge over the gaps
between outbursts Of genuine en-
thusiasm.
