Hydock tells the following story setting In my saloon playing cards couple of friends when I heard a noise. X asked my friends if they had knocked thehr chairs against the wall. They all said no, and just then the noise was repeated. I went out to the back door of my saloon and saw some coming out of the barber shop door with a big looking glass under his arm. urning to my bartender I called for a re- volver and then started after the thief. He aid_not whea 1 commanded lga to half, and so I fired a shot to frighten him. The looking glass was dropped and the fellow aried to cr the tracks on a run. Then I red two more and I saw the man fall. Then I gave It up to the police- ' . Just at this point Ofcer’'Tangeman and Captain McDonough came up to the ¢ 11 and Hydock asked them if he had not stated several days ago that he was afrald that the barber shop would be robbed, as there was no barber there at present. Both officers ad- mitted the truth of this statement. Frank Peterson, bartender for Hydock, was seen. He was averse to talking to reporters because he had been told years ago to never tell anything to a reporter. TAYLOR HAD BEEN WATCHING. A littls persuasion loosened up. the bar- tender’s tongue and he told his ‘story. It wase substantially the same as Ilydoek's, ex- cept that he declared that the negro had been seen looking fnto the barber shop during the afternoon. The barber shop was owned but had been closed for a week. An investi- gation by Chlef Brennan showed that one of the wall mirrors was out on a coal pile in the rear, evidently having been remoyell and planted without detection. It was when Taylor went back after the second mirror that he met his death, Coroner Maul was notified by and directed & Slo charge of the remains, which was done, = i i WATER QUESTION NOTI' YET SETTLED Bee reporter ta God, n saying “1 was with & one shots my by Hydock, the police Brewer ne to take Substitute for the Young Ordinance Will Be Introduced Today, DENVER, June 30.—It Is the intention of President Burpee of the Board of Supervisors the meeting of making a 20 per in the present making the lawns $5.50 per lot, is a of about 15 per cent.
