WOUNDED MAN WAS
KNOWN IN CANON CITY

The newspaper accounts of the
shooting of John W. Wright under.
sheriff Of Huerfano county. at Wal
senburg on Monday by Homer Pot,
created considerable interest and com
ment among the friends OF the mur
dered man in this city. Wright is
said by his friends to have been one
OF the nerviest men in Colorado and
o have been terror to evll-doers in
Hnerfano county during his term o,
office. He was, according to those
who knew him. the personiacation OF
physical bravery and knew no such
thing as fear. Wright brought a
prisoner to the penitentiary here from
Walsenburg one day last week and
met number OF his Canon City
friends at that time.
Forts was also a deputy sheriff AMI
the trouble that led TO the shooting
is said to have had its origin in a dis
pute over some business affairs be.
tween the two men several months
ago when Potts was employed as a
cowboy on his victims ranch.
Wright was standing by his automo-
bile in front of hotel in Walsenburg
on Monday waiting for friend to
purchase some cigars when Potts ap-
preached him. Although he knew OF
Potts enmity towards him he is re
ported to have paid no attention 10
it, Potts with revolver in his hand
walked rapidly in the direction of
the automobile without attracting the
notice OF Wright. who had his face
turned another way On reaching the
automobile Potts touched Wright on
the arm and said nothing. and as the
latter turned to see who it was Potts
shot him in the stomoch. inficting a
mortal wound Wright sank sloAly
TO the ground and told his assailant
not to shoot any more as he was
killed anyway.
Wright was rushed to Minnequs
hospital at Pueblo in the hope OF saw
ing his life. but all to no purpose as
he died there a few hours after his
arrival. His body was taken back to
Walsenburg this afternoon. Potts was
arrested. taken to Jail and locked up
charged with murder

Springs. Feb. 22.--The
body / unknown white man hang

state OF decomposition was the grue-
some find OF Joe Herkey, eolored. of
this city. The body was found in a
gulch on the eastern slope OF Look

mile east of Gienwood.
Herkey was on Lookout hunting
when he found the body dangling
from a scrub pine tree near a camp
used last summer by the Glenwood
Boy Scouts. The eyes OF the dead man
had been pecked out by magpies and
he had been dead beyond doubt for
several days. gerkey did not wait
to make an examination but return
ed TO Glenwood as speedily as possible
and notified Coroner Hopkins who i'm
mediateIy organized "a party. and.
guided by the former. left Immediately
to cut down the body and hold an ex.
animation.
A canvass OF the city hiss failed to
furnish any clue as TO the possible
Identity Of the dead man. As far as
can be learned no one has been miss
ed from Glenvood and telephone calls
to ranchers in Spring valley, near the
scene OF the CHASTITY discovery show
as far as can be aScertained. no one
is missing from that vicinity. Her
key could not identify the body from
his hasty examination.

MOBILE. Ala. Feb. S-Operators from the Central Competitive Bitu- minous coal fields, embracing western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illin- ois told the mine workers in joint wage conference here today that the mine owners are not sharing in the wave of prosperity now prevailing and fer that reason they could not grant the increase in wages asked by the men nor accede to the other de- mands of the United Mine Workers of America.
 They offered, however. to renew the wage scales now in effect in the four sttaes when they expired on March Il.
 Those who spoke for the operators were P. H. Penna, Terra Haute; c. E. Maurer, Cleveland and w. K. Field, Pittsburg They admitted there was increased prosperity in some lines of business where European war or ders are being filled, but that taking the coal business as a whole through ont western Pennsylvania, Ohio, In diana and Illinois conditions were barely normal. If it were not for the fact that railroads and big indus tries were storing up coal as a pre- | cautionary measure in the event of i interruption in the production of tho fuel, they sad the output would be below normal.
 The offer of the mine owners to renew the present wage agreement will D formally rejected by the min
