Colorado „ Springs, ,, Sept. „ , 7—The _ po-
litical war between the two factions of
the silver Republican party resulted
this morning in the death of Charles
Harris of Denver. It was the result of
au attempt by tho Broad faction to
capture the opera house, which was
guarded by the Sprague faction.

Harris fell with a bullet through the
abdomen and is past medical aid.
The shooting occurred just outside
the opera house door. Several arrests
have been made. The man who fired
the shot which struck is undoubtedly in
The tragedy resulted from the action
of National Chairman Towne in remov-
ing Richard Broad from the chair-
s
in a conspiracy with friends of Senator
Wolcott to defeat the proposed fusion

Charles ! b. o o Sprague, representing x- the .1
Teller and Towne delegates, obtained
possession of the Opera House in which
th » convention is to meet tomorrow and
refused to surrender it at the demand
of Chairman Broad.
^ r - Sprague is editor of the Colorado
Springs Evening lelegraph.
Harris came to Denver five years ago
from Omaha, where he formerly held
the oftiee of deputy United States mar-
slial. He was about 32 years old and
has a wife and two children.

Over 30 were picked up and taken to

and the third was nearly completed
when the south pier gave way at its

named Sam Smith. It is reported here
that a posse is searching the eonntv far
Smith and tbat if be is ht he will
be strung up to tho first limb.
The circumstances of tho killing. :•«
reported here, seem to somewhat justify
killing, and that, the negro would
surrender to the sheriff of the county if
he gets an opportunity. The trouble
started by a crowd of white people go-
in? to the negro’s house to get lus wife
to cook some chickens. They agreed to
cook for all except Coker. This in-
censed Coker and he began to ro<k tho
honse and to break down the d<u,r, < if-
ing which time the negro fired on him
with a shotgun, killing hiui instautiv.
