Covscrn Buurrs, I, Sept, 6. 1896 the Editor of the Bek: About fourteen or fifteen monthe ago there appeared in the Bex: an article in regard to & Mr. 1. N Barrett. It was well known at the time by Mr rett's friends that the said ar ticle in many points was untrue and con sequently unjust The way was slim to refute or make corrections of the article, the Bee had simply copiedat from gome of its Leadville or other Colorado exchanges dal! that conld be done was to read and give utterance to com- ments in condemnation of the article to anyone that happened to be near Mr. Barrett had been a faithful and efticient ofticer for years in Colorado, making for himsclf a clear and proud record, yet winning no great newspaper notoricty; but with what rapidity, when he had, under the influcnce ot drink, Laid himself amenable to the law, it got into print and travelled far and wide over the country. I happen to have per- sonal knowledge—having been tiere at the time—of gullant and Mithful services X od to the state of Colorado by Mr. Barrett as constable, policeman, marshal, deputy sheriff and detective, but very little, just complimentary items ocensiol got into print: but how quickly ot i trouble, was it procl those who had no p \equaintance with him as being « hn of the st type, o ruflian and hard ease gen- 1ly, and many who had seen him, on ling the article, wondered if it could be the cool, nervy, intrepid and gentle- munly Ike Barreft whom they had seen ace, without « shadow of fear, what ap- peared th, and arrest murder- ers, cle town of \)lluk i a ce house row in short ord ina superior manner, keep pesc order in a town where' | Imhng citi- zens were in the minorit wlile an ofticer of the law m ( ‘olorad )y ever proved himself a manly and an efli- cient one, and made such . record for himself that any old settler in the county would feel pride in thinking it was made by a_ Pettawottamie county farm boy. Mr. Editor, 1 have digressed far beyond what I intended. I intended to only geribble o line directing your attention to an item in the enclosed paper, in which you will see Mr. Barrett has been pardoned by the governor of Colorado, and us a petition was sent from here to the governor of Colorado soliciting the |:mlun and signed by the mayor of Council Blufts and more than a hundred other prominent citizens of this aty, I deemed it an item worthy of publication in the al ching BE Tke Barrett is in town this morning,having been pardoned by the governor throu:h the efforts of Judge rison of this eily, and with the assistance of other prominent attor- neys in the county, and the_ coneur of Judge Harrison of this distriet.

Scant News of the Skeleton. But little additional was learned yester- y in regard to the skeleton of the un- known man, found near Graham avenue, as narrated in yesterday’s BE| There were various theories but none which seemed to be borne out by anything be- yond the imagination of those who set them forth. One was to the effect that the man W probably the tramp, who belonged to the gang who set upon Detective Price, of the Mil- waukee & St. Paul, and who gof Yy with a bullet in him. In that lively fight Price’s revolver was kicked out of his hand, and picked up and carried off by yme one of the gang. The theory received by many that this man getting away ina wonnded condition erawled into the woods, and there lay down and died. The revolver found near him was sup- posed to be the missing one owned by Price. Yesterday Price took a look at the gun, and found it was not like his lost one at ali, and t spoiled a sensation in that direction. The olver was badly rusted, and those who had vivid imagina- tions could casily sce that it was covered with blood. The supposition that the dead man was the missing Kost, was also unsupported by any facts, and strongly contradicted by many details of the tinding. Another story was started “to the cffect that some time ago two boys found a basket in the groy r where the skele- ton was found. isket contained a rubber cout, and some smaller nrticles, and some letters and papers. The jump was at once made to_ the conclusion that the basket belongzed to the dead man, and the notes would throw so light upon the matter. The police take no stock in this, however, as they are cor- tain that the basket be onged to a fellow whom they shadowing for some time, and who hung sround in that pavt of the city for several days, and then left the city.

The board will hardly complete its labors before the last of the week. Among the import matters brought to its attention yeste was the taxation of the Union P railway property in this eity. Tax Ag W. H. Russell, of thatcompany, app before the board and explained the pecu- liar situation. Heretofore the Union Pacitic property in this city has been as- sessed the same any other property, the assessed fon amounting to about §400,000. Some time ago some one, bound to give the big corporation a dig in the ribs, went before the executive coun- cil of the state, and called the attention of that body to the fact that the Union Pacific should be taxed the same as other The board looked over the s, and finally concluded to assess the Un mun lhwm te of £100,200 a mile for 2.87 mil . This made the total assessment $237,000, or only alittle over half of what the assessment had been b fore.
