A Han Shot.
Deputy D. K. Booker late yes-
terday evening shot and in all
probability mortally wounded
Jack Wiggins whom he was at-
tempting to arrest. The shootiog
occurred at Wiggins' home, one
and a half miles north of Reck, at
6:30 o'clock, immediately after
which Mr. Booker returned to
this city and reported the unfortu-j
nate occurrence. To an Ard-
moreite reporter Mr. Booker made
the following statement:
"I had a warrant for the arrest
of Wiggins on a charge of a threat
to kill a man in his neighborhood
by the name of Denton. When I
drove up to his house yesterday
Wiggins was out to the gate. I
asked il be was Jack Wiggins, le-
ceiving a reply that he was where-
upon I told him I had a warrant
for his arrest. He asked to have
it read which 1 did. After hear,
ing the warrant Wiggins said he
would not be arrested, that he
wonld die first. I reasoned with
him, out to no good purpose. He
started to the honse, evidently to
get his gun. I called on him to
surrender or I would shoot, he kept
moving for the house and defied
me. Then just before he reach-
ed the door 1 fired, the ball
striking him in the back and
ranging a little upward passed
ont in front. He fell and I went
to him. By this time the women
folks were alter me and I had to
do some smooth talking to keep
one of them from nsiug a gnn on
me. The last I heard from Wig-
gins he was thought to bs dying.
I sent a doctor from Hewitt to
treat the man and will hear as to
hit condition

An Erroneous Impression Cor-
rected.
Many belive the expense of liv-
ing during the summer months ia
cool Colorado is excessive. This
is wrong. Living of the most
substantial and highly satifactory
character compares most favor-
ably with rates ordinarily charg-
ed at home. Try it and be con-
vinced. The Fort Worth and
Denver Railway takes yon there
through the cool foothills of the
Rockies, uffoidiag daylight view
of the fcceoic wonderland of
