The prsssn; army quar,ermaster on
the L. :. A. T. Warren. formerly IN.
scandia, is Major sidney A. Cloman
He has the reputation OF being one OF
the most popular officers ON the pre-
sent expedition and his popularity is
undoubtedly deserved.
II would be a difficult matter TO find
more thorough soldier or a truer|
gentleman than Major Cloman. At the
outbreak of the war he was a lieuten-
ant IN The regulars. He was then in
structor in military tactics at the
University OF California. In the whole
coneee there was not a more popular
man than he. when he first went
there he found the military depart
ment in bad shape. The previous in
structor had antsgonized the students
IN every possible way, and In turn his
life had been made miserable by the
students. Major cloman had been
there a very short time when the STU
dents realized tha; in him they had an
efficient Instructor and a friend. AZ
fairs changed. Where before IL was
a pleasure 10 cut" drill, the battalions
were always fui!. Major Cloman was
1nalIy selected ss a member Of In.
faculty athletic committee, the greatest
token OF the students esteem.
Old army officers tell an interesting
anecdote Of Major Cloman. Il was up
In the Indian country. An uprising
Of the Sioux seemed imminent. At last
the feeling ran 90 high that an Indian
cruelty murdered one Of the soldiers
and returned 10 his camp where he
was EeIre:ed by the tribe. A company
OF soldiers Vas marched TO the camp
to take the murderer. After repeated
threats the hut In which he was hIiuen
was pointed out. The additional in
formation was furnished that the In
dian was fully armed and would put
mp a hard fight. Quickly the second
lieutenant salutsd the commanding
officer and asked permission TO take the
Indian. Reluctantly the officer granted
the permission TO the apparently fool
hardy sod or. Straight into the hut
went the hero. There was the sound OF
scufie and the company dash for
ward. Il was not needed, however. for
out Of the hut came the doughty lieu
tenant dragging after him the terrified
murderer. The Indian was hung and
the threatened uprising was headed OF
The man who made the capture was
Sidney 4. ClOman.
Major CiOman IS still a first lieuten-
ant in the regular service. His pre-
sent rank as major Is in the yolun
teers. He vent 20 Manila with the
first expedition and was there during

A sign OF the times is the large amount
Of money being spent by railroads in
improvements. Ono western road, the
Burlington has appropriated no less than
$8,OOO,OOO for this purpose. This is ex-
elusive OF the cost of building new lines
in western Nebraska and Wyoming. By
far the most important part OF the Bur

ton OF the double track between Omaha
and Chicago.
Thirty five miles OF double track are
being laid between Mount Pleasant and
Batavia, Iowa, and ten miles between
New London and Mount Pleasant, Iowa
With the exception of stretch Of az
teen miles, the road now has a double
track all tho way from Chicago to Mount
Pleasant, distance Of 232 miles All
the Illinois lines are double tracked, and
1865 miles in Iowa will be in similar con
dition before the end of the summer.
Considerable work is being done or

tor Teller-An Old
Mesa County Citizen

William N. Dickereon, an old resident
of this county after an illness OF two
years died yesterday at the residence OF
T. P. Mcclure, where he has resided
ever since suffering from a paralytic
strok several years ago.
The deceased was about seventy five
years OF age and came to Colorado along
in 81 or '62 and has resided in this state
ever since. He was never known to
have been married.
Along in his first years Of residence in
Colorado he made the acquaintance OF
Senator Teller which friendship has
been maintained ever since.
He was several times the owner OF
considerable wealth, but late years
found him suffering from reverses. At
last. when sickness incapacitated him for
work. he called upon his old time friend,
Senator Teller, and aid came at once to
him. which aid has been continued ever
since. In fact for several years past
Senator Teller has cared for him entire
ly and for the last twenty-five months
has hired nurse to be at his bedside at
all times. Such friendship is not often
seen in this day and generation.
The funeral took place this afternoon,
the interment being in Orchard Mesa

1t was hearty handshake, cheery
good morning to everybody, at tho
Strawberry festival at Glenwood Satur
day. There was none Of the question

got to spend and how can we get our
hooks on IT," On the other hand never
did people 30 successfully entertain a
big crowd Of people, without giving even
chance for anyone to say that they
were endeavoring to get the "cinch",
The celebration of the day was a
splendid success. Over 5000 people
from all parts of the western slope gath
cred to eat Strawberries, enjoy the FREQ
entertainment provided and take a
swim In the famous peol.
The element of freeness was what sur
prised the people, The bathing was
free, the strawberries wers free. the polo
game and the big dance at night all we're
free to the guests Of the city.
There was another specially provided
entertainment for the representative Of
the press, which for generous provision
and hospitality, exceeded almost any
thing attempted in that line for the
editors in any city and will long be re-
membered by those who participated.
The handsome hall OF the Odd Fell
lows in the Dougan building was reserv-
cd for the editorial push. In the main
ante room was arranged the banqueting
board, around which gathered as jovial
set Of men as one could wish to meet.
Everything was provided free, free as
the air. At one time Governor Thomas,
Mayor Johnso !, OF Denver, Edwin Mark
ham who wrote "Ths Man with
the Hoe." the literary lion Of
the hour and James Barton
Adams, the writer OF the delightful COL
umn Of "Postscripts" for the Denver
Post and poet himself, stood shoulder
to shoulder, eating the good things
amidst cannonade OF scintillating wit
fred from one to another.
There was 30 much entertainment
that one man could only absorb por-
tion OF it, but whatever that portion hap
pened to be, it was good and satisfying
Glenwood was beautifully decorated
for the occasion. streamers, flags and
bunting, hung in profusion from every
vantage point, making a beautiful scene
