Citizens of Colorado who have been
interested in the assignment of Cap
tain Young to special duty in the
Negro republic of Liberia will be still
further interested to learn that he
will be asked by the war department
to assist in the selection of the land
which Liberia has assigned to the
Colorado African Colonization Com.
pany. That he will be requested to
do this extra service seems to be Ger.
tain because of the interest taken in

make a clean breast Of the affair and
take what In coming to him. Al the
city jail Seed wrote a complete his
tory OF the crime and saggestcd that
the authorities telegraph and verify
the story told. Chief Bowlden Is
convinced that the story told by the
prisoner Is correct and has written
the authorities OF the Ohio town.
The thought of the crime has
weighed heavily upon the conscience
OF Seed. who since leaving the town
where he was raised has been in daily
tear Of arrest. He told the chief
that the thought Of having been dis
honest was more than lie could bear
and that he would feel better TO get

was prominent churchman and a

fast women and horses. From his
talk the chief Cleaned that the pris-
