ROLL CALL GONE.
Part of Employers Liability Leqisla.
tion Missing.
tDenver Times.)

NDenVer Times
The roll call on the employers Ii.
ability bill is missing from the senate
journal In possession of the secretary
Oh state, and no one apparently knows
when II disappeared. Secretary Mills
and Deputy Eubanks are of the opin.
ion that it disappeared before the
Journal came into their possession as
they have not permitted anyone to ex-
anime the journal without close
watch being kept on them.
Some tine ago." said Mr.. Eubanks
today, "a gentleman came to the office
and said he had heard that the roll
call in the house was missing. We
looked the matter up and found the
house journal all right. Later it was
stated that the senate roll call on the
Dill was missing. and day or two
ago at the request of some person
we made an examination and found
that the roll call on the bill in the
senate was not there. We had pre-
viously made certified copy of the
journal of that day for person whose
name l do not care to give. am
satished, however. that the person
VINO looked over the journal that day
could not have removed the roll call.
as | was present all the time he was
examining the journal
The statement that the roll call
was removed from the journal while
IN the Office of the secretary of state
Mr., Eubanks and Secretary Mills de.
ciare TO be wrong. There was no
chance for it to be taken. The fact
that the first intimation as to its alb.
sence came from outside sources
leads to the conclusion that il must
nave been removed some time ago
IL was probably removed before the
journal was turned over to the secre
tary of state.
The State Federation of Labor has
taken up the matter and will try to
run down the guilty person.
Clerk Kelley and Recording Clerk
Smith of the senate, who had the
Journal in their possession during the
time between the passage of the bill
ana Its transfer to the office of the
secretary of state. have been sent for
to come to Denver and assist in try.
ing to clear up the mystery.
IL is charged. though on what eyi.
dence is not stated, that someone re.
ceived $4,000 for the theft of the roll
call An effort will be made to find
out who got the money.

Death Of Thomas Greenfield.

On Saturday evening Mt 1875 Thos
Greenneld. an old resident of Durango
brenthed his last The deceased had
been ailing since February. when he
was attacked with grippe. from the
effects of which he never fully recov-
cred The cause of death was cenccr
of the bowles which at times caused
the victim great pain. II was only,
however. within the past nine days
that Mr.. Greenfield was confined TO
his bed. In the early part of last week
his daughter. Elfrida. arrived from
Denver. where she spent the winter
in attendance at the Denver Univers-
ity. The son, Walter arrived from
Cripple Creek last night Beside his
wife and two children just mentioned,
10 other immediate relatives survive
him.
Mr.. Greenfield was 90 years of age
and lived in Durango since 1881.
He was one of the steadiest and most
industrious of men. his life exemplify-
ing the virtues and finally the reward
of honest toll All of the qualities
necessary to win success this man
seems to have possessed. Even as
the end was approaching, while con-
scious and seeming to realize that
the great change was coming, his
mind often reverted to his work. On
Saturday morning he went to sleep
and all through the day he slept peace
fully. awaking at 1850 that night on
the other side.
The sympathy of the community
goes out to those near and dear to
him in this their hour OF sorrow The
funeral will take place at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning from the First
Methodist church.
