VINO is the society woman q ask
the chief of police.
Henwood tried to evade answering,
but the chief was firm, and so Hen
wood at last admitted that Mrs.
Springer was the woman.
well, said the chief, deliberately,
If / were you, Henwood, I'd go home
and let John w. Springer look after
his own domestic affairs"
Henwood jumped to his feet, his
dark face flushed with excitement.
eff Won Phul does not give up these
letters, I'll kill him." he said.
And the chief of police let him go.
The next night, Henwood, his eyes
big with excitement, his hands shak-
ing, his body trembling, entered the
bar of the Brown Palace Hotel.
Won Phul was standing at the bar,
drinking with George E. Copeland
and James W. Atkinson.
Won Phul saw Henwood's reflection
in the mirror back of the glass, and
whirled around on his heels.
Henwood's twitching hand flashed
to his hip pocket; so did Won Phul's.
There was the roar of revolver;
Copeland crumpled up on the floor,
fatally shot. The revolver barked
again. Atkinson tumbled across
Copeland's dying body, shot through
the right leg. Another report, and
Van Phul pitched up his arms and
sprawled forward on his face.
Henwood fled in wild terror, seek
ing Mrs. Springer. The friends of the
three men spread out on the barroom
floor looked after them, and-per-
haps because of this, although no one
ever is likely to know the truth-no
revolver was found in Won Phuls hip
pocket, toward which he had reach

body.
Henwood was tried for the muir

attorney did not wish to give him the

1t was the most dramatic scene
ever known in a Denver courtroom.
1t was late in the afternoon. The
shadows were falling long in the
courtroom.
And the man whom a jury had
found guilty of second degree muir
der stood there bitterly denouncing
the judge in whose power it lay to
make his punishment one year in
prison or for life.
And the judge sentenced Henwood
to life Imprisonment.
Henwood's attorney appealed. The
Supreme Court reversed the finding
of the trial court, and ordered new
trial.
1t was that new trial which ended
yesterday when Harold Frank Hen
wood was found guilty of murder in
the first degree and sentenced to be
hanged by the neck until dead.

RUSHING WORK ON THE
NEW ASYLUM BUILDING
Structure Now Beginning to
Take Definite Form.
Some of the Concrete Floors May be
Poured This Week if the
Weather Permits.

A visit by the editor Of this paper
last Saturday to the Grant county
! asy lum and county home, southeast
of the city, shows the work upon the
new asylum building to be progressing
as rapidly as could be expected in
view Of the great amonnt of col and
wet weather we have had this spring.
A total of about 45 men are en-
ployed and the work is taking definite
shape. The stone and concrete walls
are all in and the brick walls are up
about six feet The steel beams and
false work for the concrete floors are
in place and early this week a por-
tion of these floors will be poured.
This will Be quite interesting. Be-
tween the steel beams is built in a
system Of removable plankiug and
upon this is placed series of sheet
iron, covered forms about the size of
bath tubs. There are several hundred
of these and they comprise a bulk
equal to four or FIVE car loads These
are placed, upside down about six or
eight inches apart upon the planking
and the concrete is poured around and
over them Iron rods run both ways
across the building between these
forms, for Strengthening and reinforc-
ing the concrete, and on top Of the
forms will be sheets Of steel woven
wire for the same purpose. After the
floor is poured and leveled it will be
allowed to set - for ten days or So,
altar which the false work below will
be taken down and the forms removed
leaving oval concave h3llows in the
lower part Of the floor, This method
will give the required strength and
rigidity to the fire proof floors while
greatly lessening the thickness and
impossible weight that would be
the result in solid floor of that thick.
ness.
A big cement mixer, mounted on
steel supports and operated by a steam
engine. has been installed and will
do all the mixing of this character for
the entire building.
The new building will be very
much the shape of Y, with the
center section to the front and facing
the street. One of the two branching
sections will extend toward the north
east and the other toward the south
east. The entire structure will be
three stories high, counting the base
ment as one, and as nearly fire. proof
as it is possible to make it. The
front section will be largely devoted
to the administration department and
superintendent living apartments.
The southeast y ing will be mainly
used by the women patiepts and the
northeast by the men. It is i'm
practical at this time to go into de-
tails, but we intend doing so later
when the proper time arrives.
Some idea of the size of the new
building may be had when it is
stated that the water table for the
walls, around the building, measure
total of practically a quarter of a

and served four yeats and four months
in that company and regiment and for
time was quartermaster- sergeant of
