contemplates buying he to realize that he,
too, has think coming and wants to think sever
al times before he buys.
1t looks now as if Millionaire Stratton had
willed his great fortune "for the building of pal

in breaking holding intact this, my last will and
testament" The only way fellow get away
from the lawyers is to go to heaven.

Since the discovery of the new hot spring by
the Big Five company the city has the largest
mineral spring supply in the state. There

Every man who violated the election laws is
now looking for immunity and seeking to turn
states evidence and square himself. Faank c.
Goudy put it very nicely when he said that it was
Teller and Belr' before election but now it is

The Republicans of Colorado owe a debt of
gratitude to Chairman Farley of the Republican
state central committe and Secretary J. F. Vivian
