received and the mental agita-
ton naturally resulting, it is
not anticipated any serious re-
suits will follow.
Bloomfield came here from
Cheyenne, Wyoming, about three
weeks ago, and was a sign writer
of ability. He was thirty years
old and his wife is a girl only 90.
They were married in Indiana,
three years ago, where Bloom
fields parents still reside.
Living in the same house with
the Bloomfields were Mrs. Bloom
fields father, w. II. Cox, her
two sisters and a brother, the
latter being a witness to the
crime as above stated.
There was absolutely no excuse
for the awful crime. But "the
wages of sin is DEATH and Bloom
field has paid the penalty. That
he was not successful in the at
tempt to murder his wife is the
only paliating feature, and he
will not be missed or mOurned by
anyone-Alamosa Courier.

ROBERT A. AUSTIN PASSES
TO THE GREAT BEYOND

At 100 o'clock Thursday even
ing the spirit of Robert a. Aus
tn was released from its earthly
tenement and passed out into the
Great Unknown.
No greater Shock has been felt
by this community and it was
with difficulty the mind could be
brought to realize the truth of
the statement. While it was
known on Wednesday that Mr..
Austin was ill, no serious conse-
quen were apprehended by his
friends and consequently they
were unprepared for the sad
news.
Mr.. Austin was man of great
force of chai acter and drew men
to him by his genial nature,
staunch friendship and high sense
of honor. His was life filled
with personal kindness and un-
os entat!ous generosity and
thousands have been cheered
along the way by contact with
him.
Since Mr.. Austin located in the
valley he mas been active in all
that goes to make good citi-
zenship, and his influence was
felt in every direction. Acquir-
ing a large tract of land on the
Concjos river, he gradually dis
posed OF the greater portion of
it, retaining only the choicest
tracts, where he erected a beau
tiful home and was prepared to
thoroughly enjoy a life Of com
parative leisure. He was also
largely interested in Alamosa,
the new postoffice building, now
just completed, being monument
to his loyalty to this city. He
will be greatly missed and his
passing to the better life will
sadden the hearts of host who
were proud to call him friend.
Mr.. Austin s death was caused
by pneumonia, his illness cover
ing only two or three days. Mrs
Austin was in Denver when she
learned of his sickness, and i'm
mediately hastcncd home but did
not arrive until after the Dark
Angel had taken from her, her
loved one. Mr.. Austin is sur,
vived by his wife, a son, Archie
s., who is in business in Denver
a daughter, Mrs. Charles Old
ham, of Kansas City, and three
brothers, William A. and John A
of Pittsburg, Pa, and Samuel S
of Denver, and a sister, Kate, OF
Pittsburg.
Robert Alexander Austin was
born in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania
where he spent the earlier part
of his life, and would have been
5S years of age on the 4th OF
next August. He came west in
1876 and spent some time at Port
land, Oregon, and Seattle, com
ing TO Denver in 1879.
The body was taken to Denver
last night, and the intermcnt will
be in Fairmount cemetery

FIEND ATTEMPTS TO
MURDER YOUNG WIFE


On again this Biblical assertion
has been demonstrated as true
a weak man succumbed to temp
tation and when his sin had founC
him out attempted to murder his
wife, and thinking he had sue
ceeded, took his own life.
No more dastardly crime is
recorded in the criminal annals
of the valley than that perpetrat-
ed yesterday evening by Zethel
Bloomfield, more commonly know
as "Zeke," painter 30 years of
age, at his home on the south
side. The old-bloodedness of
the crime was such as to arouse
the greatest Indignation, but the
perpetrator had passed beyond
human punishment. Had it been
otherwise, there is no telling to
what lengths an outraged public
would have gone.
Yesterday Bloomfield, com
parative stranger here, passed
check for $11 at Bailey's pool
hall, to which he had forged the
name 80. w. Davis" AS Mr..
Bailey did not know anyone of
that name, he asked Bloomfield
who the party was who had
signed the check, and was in
formed that it was "Davis, the
photographer" After he had
cashed the check he remembered
that Davis initials We're 90. T."
and informed him of the matter
In the evening Davis went to
the Bloomfield home and called
the man out, stating that he
intended to cause his immediate
arrest. This Bloomfield had evil
IDENTIFY anticipated, as he had
urged his wife to go to Denver
last night, no doubt thinking the
forgery would not be exposed un-
til to-day. She refused to do
this, stating that she was tired
of rowing about.
After his meeting with Davis,
Bloomfield re-entered the house
and walked up to his wife, who
was seated in a rocking chair,
her little two-year-old baby boy
playing on the floor beside her,
while her brother, a young man
of about eighteen years of age,
was standing near. Drawing a
32-calibre six-shot revolver from
his pocket he pointed it point
blank at her forehead, remark
ing:
"You We got to go with me !"
He pressed the trigger and the
bullet struck his wife above the
forehead and glanced around the
skull, inflicting comparatively
slight flesh wound. The shock
partially stun ed her, and intui-
lively she covered her face with
her hands. Without an instant s
hesitation the would-be murderer
fired again, aiming for the same
spot. This bullet struck both
his wife s hands, passing through
the forefinger of the left hand
and the third of the right hand,
but doing no further damage.
Thinking his dastardly work
was complete, he placed the gun
at his forehead and fired. AS he
sank to the floor, death being in
Simultaneous, young Cox, who had
been paralyzed by the awful trag
edy, grabbed the baby from the
floor and clasping his sister,
rushed her from the house.
1t is evident that Bloomfield,
anticipating arrest and failing to
get his wife to leave the city,
deliberately planned her murder
and his own suicide in the event
of discovery and exposure. The
crime would indicate that the man
was either mentally unbalanced
or pervert of the most pro-
nounced type. While Mrs. Bloom
field is suffering severely from

JACK AND HIS TOGS.

My Lords of Whitehall have sudden ly discovered that Jack Tar is not made all of a size, and d new order regard ing clothing is just issued which will be welcomed by the men.
 A fit seized the Admiralty equipment people some years ago and they de- cided to supply the fleet with ready made clohtes. Hitherto the men had made their own. one of the regula- tions was that the pattern laid down was to be risidly adhered to and no deviation whatever allowed.
 The new regulation k an exposition of the commonest of common sense. It says that many of the measurements given in the uniform regulations rep resent the measurements appropriate for man of average size and need to be slightly varied to meet individual cases in order to insure a smart, we'll fitting garment. It should be the rule. therefore. for a good fit and general smartness of appearance to be consid- cred as of more importance than a minute adherence to exact measure ments."

FINDS AN OAK LOG MINE.
4 Russian Will Dig Out This Timber
 Instead of Letting it CarbonIze.

An oak log mine is the curiosity which q South Russian magnate, ac- cording to the Revue Forestiere de France. found on his property recently IL was during dregding operations in the bed of a small stream that mas sive oak logs embeded in the soil were brought to light.
 A closer survey of the ground re- suited in the discovery that a great forest of oaks lay buried there at d small depth but extending over some seventy-five square miles. Trunks of 13O to 16O feet in length and about a yard in diameter have already been dug out
 A peculiarity of them is that the wood is stained. probably through chemical action in the subsoil, in all shades ranging from dark brown to yellow and a bright rose color. The owner expects to delve up 150,0OO such trees. the wood of which is admirably suited for fine inlaid work. He thinks he will get them all out now instead of letting them carbOniZe to form coal mine for his remote descendants. European Letter to New York Sun

MT. and Mrs. Earl Van Kirk Kept Within Them for Fifteen Min

| The well-known trOtting stallion Boydella, of the Metropolitan stables of Phoenix, was electrocuted under peculiar circumstances last evening.
 and his owner, Earl Van Kirk with Mrs. Van Kirk. came very near meet ing the same fate
 Mir. and Mrs. Van Kirk had been visiting their farm beyond the In
 dian school and about 9:3O were
 driving back to their home with Roy-
 della. They had just crossed the
 Indian school carline just north of
 the Brill line to reach their home
 which is on that side when the horse | touched a network of wires with his
 breast and fell immediately. where he | lay quite still.
 The flash of fireworks and the screams that followed both were something not to be forgotten i'm mediately by those who heard them, which were few, as the street was almost free of pedestrians. The flashes of electric light were above and below and all round about, until it was difficult tO tell what they
 might be symbolical of. but Mir. and
 Mrs. Van Kirk were both convinced along different lines of thought, that the symbolism was of nothing good to them. here or hereafter There was more aurora bOrealis effect than
 MT and Mrs Van Kirk hope to ever see again, but part of it was out of place.
 The switch system of wires at the Brill line turn-off had been pulled down by a passing electric car, though none was in the neighborhood at the time and no person was at tempting then to guard the public from the live wires. The horse, ly- ing upon them. was paralyzed with electricity and could not stir. and Mir | and Mrs. Van Kirk were almost equally paralyzed with fear of it and | would not: but the street rapidly | filled up with neighbors, some of | whom telephoncd to get the power | shut off It was, however. some 1 fifteen minutes before that was done. | and MT. and Mrs Van Kirk dared | to get out of the buggy.
 A little later Superintendent Mitch | ell appeared on the scene, invesu- | gated the accident by conversation | with NIT. and Mrs. Van Kirk and | others. and set a gang of men to work fixing up the street car trolley and stay lines. and they were soon out of the way
 Meanwhile Veterinarian Ramsay had been called and he had pronounced the horse past hope, and Patrolman Hosmer had ended his sufferinss by shooting him in the head at the owners request The thills of the buggy were also broken by the horses fall.
 Boydena, who thus met criminals sort of death. deserved better He was sired by Boydell by Electioneer, and was consequently of excellent trotting blood. He had a record of 2:141k. and some fine colts in this valley. He is valued by MT. Van Kirk at from s2.5OO to s3,000.
