pvhon the torpedoes exploded the engi
neer quickly brought the train to a

j MURDER LAID TO GAMBLERS.
Man Who Headed Crusade Killed In
Streets of Des Molnes.
Des Moines , Aug. 6. Isaac Flnkel-
etein , whose crusade against public
gambling closed the eight houses in
Des Molnes two weeks ago , was mur-
Hered at 10 o'clock last night in Wai-
nut street , at an alley entrance be
tween Sixth and Seventh streets. He
was on his way to his home , less than
a block and a half away , when a man
stepped out of the shadow of the al
ley and struck him a blow over the
bead with a singletree. Flnkelstein
fell to the ground. Four men less
than-a block away saw him fall and
ran to assist him. He was dead when
they arrived , his skull being crushed.
Save for the bloody singletree ,
[ which was left beside the victim , the
only clue to the murderer Is a report
that a little after the time of the mur-
tier one unrecognized man was over
heard to say to another , "I killed the
, " and at another time one man
. was heard to tell another , "Keep your
mouth shut. "
The murder Is supposed to have re
sulted from Flnkelsteln'a notion In
prosecuting the gamblerHe did not
object to public gambling , but wanted
the city to receive n revenue from It ,
ho said , and when the police did not
raid the houses he filed complaints
with the sheriff. The resultant raids
proved so expensive that the gamblers
closed their places.

Grandeurs of Peak and Chasm.
The natural attractions of Colorado
are by 110 means confined to her mineral
spring resorts , her splendid parks , uor
to her beautiful mountain lakes. In
whatever direction the traveler may
choose by rail , if he go to the mount
ains , his journey is a succession of
glorious scenery , varying in the characteristics -
acteristics of placid beauty , grotesque
ruggeduess , and awe-inspiring grandeur.
Up the canons , by heavy grades and
difficult curves , are stupendous walls
rising perpendicularly or gradually
sloping back toward the greater hills ,
and yet again loaning forward above
the chasm , as if threatening to come
tumbling down , projecting great rocks
that hang suspended over the train as it
glides smoothly by. It is n panorama of
wonders mid grandeurs such as belong
only to the Rocky Mountains ,
To enable persons to reach Oolorado
resorts , the Union Pacific has placed in
effect during tne summer months very
low rates.
