Mr. Holeomb, tho vice-j)resident, while in Denver tlie other day, was asked what was the cause of so many decapitations decapi-tations of officials. In reply he said that it was to the interest of the company com-pany to make these changes.

Mr. llolcoinb emphatically denied that there bad been any conspiracy among tho men who had been let out. Their services had not been satisfactory aud hence their dismissal. It is quite likely, judging judg-ing from the various intimations made by Mr. llolcoinb, that lightning will continue to ' strike for some time to come.
