T} lans have been prepared and accepted, and he fraternity is to have a magnificent structure, extremely handsome and an ornament of rare richness. For fifty years it has been the dream of the Michigzan Masons to have a home like the ono proposed. It required zealous labor and untiring energy to succeed in the unde taking, and the committee of the state sovereign consistory, appointed one year ago, has accomplished wonders in the® rustling line. ‘I'he new temple will be seven stories high, and the exterior will be carried out urely in tho Romanesque style. It is not definitely decided, but it will probably be ustructed of stone. The openings being Dy contrasting strougly with the plain wall surface will pr diice an ornamental effect without the us of highly wrought molded work and e: sive carvings. By this method the most arnam; effect can be obtained with th Jeast expenditure of money.

Prof. Raymond Volk came forward and in befitting and well chosen words presented him in behalf of per- sonal friends and members of council No. 6 with a beautiful silver water set. Brother Murr's surprise and gratification were plainly ble as he responded by tendering his rfelt thanks for the token of apprecia- tion.

The stirring events that marked the early progress and settlement of the west have left a chronicle that has no parallel in his- tory. From among the scenes of those chaotic times spring a multitude of remin- iscences which are at once unique and in- teresting and which sometimes are stranger than the most imaginative fiction. The days when the settle rried his life at the muzzle of his revolver and laid down to sleep at night not knowing what dangers would anticipate the dawn have now become only a recollection, but here and there may still be found men who ha in some of the tragic happenin ounger civilization and who when in a meditative can relute stories of theirearly experi ences which picture vividly thesfronticr life of years ag Such a man is Carl Bockhouse, a German barber, who is now employed in a shop at Fourteenth and Farnam streets in this city He had the fortune to be one of the heroes of one of the most colebrated tragedies of frontier days and was induced to relate his exciting experience to a BEer reporter the other day There are many men now living who will recall the campaign inaugurated by the vig- ilance committee of Leadville in the fall of 9 against the lawless element that had theretofore run riot in the nity. An en- counter which Bockhouse had with a couplo of footpads and his plucky resistence was cumstance which led to the organi tion of the committee and the. subsequent exciting scenes. The attempted robbery oc- curred on the night of November 15, It was Saturday night and Bockhouse shut up his shop about 11 o'clock and started for home His shop was located on Chestnut street and he had se 1 blocks to walk to his home at Main and Maple streets. The night was well caleulated for deeds of violence. The snow fell in blinding sheets which covered the streets with a soft thick carpet that lened the sound of footsteps and the driving storm even hid from view the tower- ing mountain At the Pbint of & Revolver. The barber had proceeded as far as Spruce street, opposite the New Nork hotel, when he was stopped by two men, one of whom held a revolver close to his face ar.d ordered him to throw up his hands. Bock- house was not_disposcd, however, to give up the roll of bills which he carried in his trowsers pockets so easily. As was usual in those days he carried 4 revolver. It was in his right overcoat poaket, and he held up his left hand, while his right remained in his pocket tightly grasping the weapon, “Hold up that other hand, or d—n you, I'll let daylight through j " vociferated the robber, and the bu s end of his pistol was pressed close against the German’s nose. ve been actol s of the ell, can’t you vait aleedlo for a fellow,” ped “the barber in assumed terror, “der hand ish tangled mit derlining.” - Jp with it quick,” repeated the high- wayman, and the prospective victim saw that there was no time to lose. The street was deserted and the moaning of the storm would make futile any cry for .help. Quick as a flash the band was withdrawn and brought to a level with the robber's head. But the latter was not prepared for what followed. The hand gr: x-chooter, and before the thief recovered from his surprise the Pluckey barber had planted a_bullet in his ly. The highwayman went down, and as he fell he returned” the fire, but without effect. Meanwhile Bockhouse had fired again_and_shot the other footpad through the arm. Both the men broke and ran in spite of their wounds, but were captured by two police officers whom the firing had brought to the spot. One of them was found dying on the doorstep of her residence by Mrs.” John Arkins, the wife of Colonel Arkins, the well known_newspaper proprie- tor, now of Denver, He was recognized as Harry Clifford, a well known desperado, who thus had the honor to be the first profes- slonal thief to be shot in Leadville. Organized to Kill Robbers. The circumstance created considerable ex- citement in the city Highway robberies had been of frequent occurrence ever since the location of the city, but this was the first time that the footpads had found a foe worthy of their steel. The shooting aroused the citizens and it was the unanimous opin- ion that a little more of the same sort was exactly what was needed. On the next evening a meeting of citizens was held at the Clarendon_hotel, which was largely at- tended. The idea of forming a vigilance committee was discussed, the mayor and several councilmen expressed them- selves as heartily in favor of the plan. It was unanimously agreed that the remaining robber, whose name was Stuart, should be hung, and that the committee should then continue the good work until Leadville was cleared of its desperados and cutthroats. Naturally enough the plucky barber came in for all manner of compliments for his de- termined resistauce to the thieves, and be- fore the meeting adjourncd a subscription nf over §200 was raised to buy him a hand. gold watchand chain as a token of appre tion of his ser Followiug this Procession was formed on Harrison avenue which included nearly all the reputable citizens of Leadville. At the head was carried a banner, which bore on one side vhe legend, “Terror of Highway: men,” and on the other, “Footpad Extermi- nator.” Behind the banner twenty men carried an_improvised platform on whic was seated Carl Bockhouse, who wa hero of the occasion. The marshal of the procession was Mr. John Stecl, then the Leadville correspondent of Tik OMama Be The crowd fell in behind and ded through the principal streets of i finally halting before the city j Stuart was confined.

But this was only o cloak for more nefarious aeeds. Frodsham soon associated himself with & gang of men as desperate as bimself and took to ‘jumping” town lots without regard to the rights of the owners Whenever he saw a building lot that took bis fancy he simply appropriated it, and, protected by his lawless comrades, lot the rightful owners whistle for their property.
