There was good attendance Oh

seem to appeal 20 most Of tRe'n
when il was realized there would re-
main the same rumber Of poles on

Nineteen years ago, when The
Home Telephone Company asked
permission OF Council to erect poles
and string wires in Alexandria. there
was :; decided opposition on the par'
of some Councilmen to any mu!tlp!l-
cation of poles in the city. The
late George Mushkack had counted
the number on King street and other
streets. ard his figures startled some
Of his contemporaries. \ provisio was

an ex-convict.'
Frederick Wallace, truck gardener
was shot after ordering Briscoe from
his home near Shaffer's Crossing.
While being brought to Denver he de-
clared that Briscoe had waited outside
and when he started for the barn in
the rear of his home, Briscoe opened
fire with rifle. Wallace died at St.
Anthony's hospital.
.'Wallace," Sheriff Dennis of Jeffer-
son county testified, returned to
Skaters Crossing from Denver, after
being absent three days, and found
Briscoe in his home. A quarrel start
ed and Briscoe left. About IL o'clock
that night Wallace started for his
barn with a lantern and was shot
down.
''Briscoe on the following day, when
we were taking Wallace to Denver,
said to me, 4 hope the poor devil
doesn't die That's what wine and
women do for men,"
Wallace told the police before he
died that he had had trouble with
Briscoe frequently because of the lat
ters attentions to his wife.
Mrs. Wallace, in her testimony be-
fore the coroner's jury, declared that
the trouble was due to her husband s
Jealousy. for which he had no reason.
She asserted that her husband had
picked" quarrel with Briscoe on the
belief that Briscoe had been response

bootlegging.
Wallace had said that he was armed
with revolver, but had no opportu.

Briscoe was sentenced to the peni

bling a man to death.
Although the shooting of Wallace
occurred in Jefferson county the in
quest was held in Denver, because
Wallace died here. The jury found
that Briscoe shot Wallace with fe'a

$4,000 Loss by Hail.

Colorado Springs-Damage estimat-
ed at $4,000 was caused here Sunday
when a heavy hail storm, sweeping
east FROM the mountains paralyzed
street traffic, broke windows and sky
lights and wrecked the street lighting
system of the city. The hail followed
heavy rains throughout the day. So
heavy was the fall that automobile
tops were broken through, street care
were forced to halt and great plate
glass windows in stores were demol
ished. Every pane of glass in many
lamp posts were broken into frag.
ments, making loss to the electric
light company of more than $4,000.
Skylights crashed in from the weight
of the hail. Every greenhouse in the
city was demolished.
