Obstructed the Highway.

Last Friday afternoon Uberto Gibello,
the Italian cave digger, was arrested
and brought to town upon the charge
OF obstructing the public highway.
He was placed in Jail and Saturday
morning was given a preliminary hear
Ing before Jnstice Hungerford. 1t was
shown in the trial that Gibello had
dug ditch about three feet wide and
six feet deep across the public road
running through his homestead. be
had done this because the county COM
missioners at their last session had
failed to pay him 800, the amount he
demanded as damages. Justice Hun
gerford considered Gibello's ofense a
grave one and bound him over to the
district court in the sum of $1,000.
This bond was reduced to $500 at the
request of County Attorney Pound.
Gibello refused to give bond and was
remanded to the custody of the sheriff
Later in the day e. w. White, chair
man of the board OF county commits
sioners and DR.. 7. j. Mason guaran-
teen Gibello that the commissioners
would take favorable action in refer
ence to his claim for damage, and he
was released from custody, DR.. Mason
signing his bond.

Obituary.

Mrs. Elizabeth Davis, wife of Harry
Davis, was born in Clay county. Mis-
souri,, December Is, lS47, and died
June !, 1900, being fifty-two years, five
months and twenty-five days old at the
time Of her death.
Mr.. Harry Davis and family came to
Colorado about twelve years ago in
quest of health for his family. Mrs.
Davis health was considerably i'm
proved until recently, when she was
taken with two severe hemorrhages of
the lungs and other complications
which baffied the skill of the best
physicians, and she grew weaker day
by day till the messenger came and
broke the silver cord. She was willing
and ready to go, being devoted chris
tian and member OF the African
NJ. E. church for over twenty years.
When she was too week to speak to
the loved ones around her she looked
up and smiled. Let me die the death
of the righteous, let my last end be
like His" Her end was as peaceful
as the setting sun on clear evening.
She would sing My latest sun is sink
ing fast, my race is nearly run.
She leaves devoted husband and
loving daughter to mourn her loss.
Rev. F. f. Eckel preached an ap-
propriate sermon from Tim. 4 49,:
IL have finished my course, l have kept
the faith; henceforth there is laid up
for me crown of righteousness"
A large and sympathetic audience
attended the service and followed the
corpse to the Julssburg cemetery
where it was inferred.
The entire community heartily sym
pathizeS with the sOrrowing husband
and daughter. f.
