Greeley, Colo.-J. L. Brush, former
lieutenant governor of Colorado, died
at his home here after an illness of
nearly two weeks. The contributing
causes were blood poisoning and pneu-
monia. Blood poisoning developed
from a scratch on his hand while he
was working in his garden two weeks
ago and the pneumonia was contract
ed about a week later. Governor
Brush was seventy-seven.
Members of the family who were
summoned several days ago were at
his bedside when the end came. The
last of the relatives reached the city
barely in time to be recognized by the
dying pioneer, who lapsed into uncon-
sciousness for several hours preceding
the end, which came quietly as though
the patient were sleeping.
The funeral was held from the fam
lily home and was attended by people
from all parts of the state.
Governor Brush was closely identi-
fled with the history of northern Colo
rado, where he lived the greater part
of the time since crossing the plains
with an OK team in 1859. He began
his life in the West by mining in Rus
sell gulch. Later he freighted across
the plains and gradually drifted into
cattle raising and farming. The town
of Brush, in Weld county, is named
after him.
Two sons, two daughters and step
daughter survive. They are Jared l..
Jr of Greeley, Walter, sheriff of Logan
county; Miss Ada Brush and Miss Mar
garet Doolittle, stepdaughter of Cali
fornia, and Mrs. C. E. Lester of Estes
Park.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver. - ANY indebtedness in
Cured by the state during this admin
lstration will be paid" said Governor
Ammons after he had affixed his sig
nature to the long appropriation bill.
The bill as passed by the Nine
teenth General Assembly carried with
it an appropriation of $1S40,000. BY
the process of trimming and elimina-
ton the net appropriation now is ST.
100000.
If the salary slash bill introduced in
the assembly had passed, says the
governor-and he was in favor of it
the saving to the state would have
been at least 100000 for the biennial
period.
The second class appropriations call
for the expenditure of S1,200,000 and

Explosion Kills Two, Injuries One.

Explosion Kills Two, Injuries One.
Cripple Creek.-A powerful explo-
sive claimed as toll the lives of Mrs.
Ida Bacon and her daughter, five, and
may also cause the death of James L.
Bacon, former state representative
from Teller and FL Paso counties. The
explosion which broke Mrs. Bacon's
neck and killed the little girl instant
ly occurred just as Mrs. Bacon was
preparing to get breakfast. The po-
lice and sheriff are investigating and
an officer is continually sitting beside
the bed of Mr.. Bacon, awaiting for
him to regain consciousness in hopes
that he may say something which will
throw some light on the disaster. Mrs.
Bacon had a premonition that the
members of her family would be
blown up While attending the funeral
of former friend, Mrs. Anna Mcleod,
she told another friend, Mrs. Caldwell,
that the next funeral would be her
own and that her death would be
caused by an explosion. She COM
planned that she had been unable to
sleep for more than week so fearful
was she that she, her husband and
baby would be annihilated.

Pride Caused Death of Miss conser.

Colorado Springs.-To her pride in
refusing to ask funds of relatives was
ascribed the cause of the death of
Miss Lana Conger, twenty-four, of Des
Moines, Ia, who died at local hotel,
by sister, Mrs. C. B. Hutchins of La
mar Colo. The direct cause of death
was due to hemorrhages, but physi-
clans express the belief that this i'll
ness was aggravated by the altitude,
which affected the heart action and
produced almost instant death when
the convulsions came on. Only $500
was found among Miss Conger's eff
fects.

the third class $4,000, but these have
not yet been passed upon by the gov
ernor.
But / have made up my mind as to
certain items in the second and third
classes" he says, land it won't take
long to dispose of them"
Officials and employees of the state
looked for a wholesale cut by the gov
ernor in the long appropriation bill.
But the majority of salaries are pro-
vided for by statute and therefore the
chief executive had no authority to
use the ak to any great extent.
The governor approves the long ap-
preparation bill, with the following ex-
ceptions:
Payment of salaries of the board of
land commissioners, $4,000. (These
salaries must be paid out of the fees
of the office.)
The dairy commissioner is cut out
and department transferred to the
state agricultural college.
Salary of.the state chemist cut from
$1,000 per year to $1,000.
Appropriation of $4,000 for the coal
mine inspection department disap.
proved and the inspector and his dep
uties will be paid out of the special
fund if such is available.
The inheritance tax clerk who has
been receiving a salary of $1S00 per
year is chopped down to $1,000 per
year.

Murder" Says Teller County Sheriff

Cripple Creek.-'It was not an acci-
dent. High explosives were placed in
either the firebox or oven of the stove
and were put there by some party or
parties with murderous intent" This
was the statement made by Sheriff
Henry Won Phul in referring to the
explosion which caused the death of
Mrs. Ida Bacon and her six-year-old
daughter, Josephine, badly injuring
James Bacon, representative from Tel
Ter county in the Eighteenth General
Assembly, and wrecked the Bacon
home at 300 West May avenue.

For Better Roads.

Idaho county has been badly in need
of good roads for these many years but
with the creation of the highway dis
trict law it begins to look as though we
are going to see the end of our troubles.
Since the passage of the law there have
been something like sixteen districts
created in Idaho county and from all
reports this method of handling the
road matters is proving highly satisfac-
tory. Considerable machinery has been
purchased and much work done. This
year will make a showing that will
be noticeable to the most skeptical as
most of the districts are making pre-
parations to do a large amount of work
and are buying heavily of road machin-
