Stolen Stuffy Birds Return To Denver Museum
A four year old volunteer at the Denver Museum of Natural History stole and damaged more than 10 rare stuffed birds, valued at at least ten thousand dollars, with 24 skins still missing. Curator Elizabeth Webb said some specimens date to the 1920s, including Costa Rican hummingbirds, and many tags were torn, making identification impossible. Police recovered 100 skins with parents cooperative after a consent search.

Lobbyist warns Labor Peace Act test risk of millions loss
Denver lobbyist Carl DeTemple of Colorado Association of Commerce and Industry warned that if lawmakers adjourn next Tuesday without amending the Labor Peace Act the state could lose 41 million to 3 million in tax dollars. The dispute centers on preserving existing union security agreements without new elections while avoiding referendum for future contracts. Senate opposition and a House vote complicate revival plans as lawmakers consider a new limited bill under a shortened session.
