DENVER, Sept, 11-Life with
everything you do being against the

Mohn, a character in the night life
of Denver for a quarter of a CEN

Today, Mohn was near death in
a hospital. A bullet he sent crash
ing through his temple, missed it's
objective by a fraction of an inch.
He has one chance in a hundred of
recovering. If he does, he will be
blinded in both eyes.
Mohn, employed at one time or

tender or a dealer, left note to his
old-time friends.
Life amt worth living no more

FARMERS URGE CORN
HOLIDAY FOR IOWA

Delegation Marches on Capital to
Lay Plan Before Governor.
By United Press
DIES MONIES, Sept. 11.-Farm
leaders whose imaginations havel
been stirred by activities of southern
states seeking to stabilize the,
price of cotton, marched on the
state capitol today to see what
could be done about the price of
corn.
The delegates from a score of
Iowa counties had an appointment
with Governor Dan w. Turner for
today. The farmers carried a.
dozen proposals suggested at mass
meetings throughout the state.
The foremost suggestion called
upon the Governor to issue a proc
lamation asking all corn belt
farmers to withhold their 1881 crop
from the market until the price goes
to so to 70 cents a bushel.
