consulted as to the best plans and
means of establishing sanitarum
that should take rank among the
worlds leading institutions for the

pected that patients not only from
sDenver but from other cities of the
country will come to the Agnes Phipps

has said that he will arrange In some
way so that residents of western Penn

PLACE FOR CONSERVATIVES.
Agnes Phipps Memorial Sanitariuna
Near Denver.

Denver, June LIN memory of his
mother, Lawrence G. Phipps of Den
yer has decided to establish a sanl-
tarium at Montclair, the fashionable
suburb adjoining Denver on the east.
for the treatment of tubercular disease.
Mr.. Phipps will leave for Plttsburg to-
day and eastern architects will be in
structed to proceed on plans for great
institution, to be called THE Agnes
Phipps Memorial Sanitarium," where
the Trudeau system will be introduced
for the first time in the West.
Attorney Gerald Hughes recently
purchased 100 acres on the Sixth ave-
nue. boulevard. adjoining Moutclair,
for $4,000. The property, said Mr..
Hughes yesterday, was secured for Mr..
Phipps for the site of the sanitarlum.
The management of the sanltarium
will be under the direction of n board
tof seven trustee, having the power to
fill it's own vacancies, so that the board
will be self perpetuatIpg. Those who
Will serve on the board are: Chester s.
Morey. Charles ]. Hughes. Jr., John +.
Campion. Walter s. 'Cheesman. John
ii. Sawyer. John G.. McMurtrie and
Tyson s. Dimes.
Forty Of the 100 acres purchased will
be at the disposal Of the institution for
immediate use. the remaining 100 acres
will be held In reserve for prospective
future needs of the sanitOrium.
'As yet" said Mr. Hughes, "Mr.
Phipps himself has no idea Of the cost
of the sanitorium nor even how the
buildings will look. All matters of cost
and architecture will assume shape af-
ter Mr.. Phipps has consulted architects
and builders. He will return to Den
yer about September LIST. The build
ings will probably include a central
or administration building and group
of cottages on plan similar to those
In use at the Trudeau and other east
ern sanitoriums, and the work Of max
ing plans will be put In the hands of
architects ut an early day, so that work
on the improvements can be begun in

and had to go in debt for nearly ev-
erything. l did not even have wife.
l got one afterwards from back East,
and l have done very well every sea-

JAIL BREAK AT LEADVllLE.
Pug Ryan and Four Other Prisoners at
Large.

Denver. June IA News special
from Leadville says:
AS the result of daring Jail break
five prisoners of the county Jail are at
large. The prisoners obtained fully
half an hours start before their alb
sence was noticed. The men who es-
capped are as follows: Lewis J. Scott.
alias Pug Ryan, desperate and muir
derer; B. II. Gray. Herman Geist, Max
field Bowen, James Sullivan, the last
four being charged with robbery. The
men made their escape between 3 and
$3.50 O'Clock this afternoon.
While the prisoners were being
served with their dinner one of the
TRUSTEES noticed that some of the men
were missing, and he at once gave the
ALARM An investigation showed that
the five prisoners had sawed off the
paddock which held down a trap door
leading to the sewer. This door is To-
Gated outside the jail cage and in the
corridor. After letting themselves into
the sewer, which was partially filed
with water. they made their way to
the foundation wall of the jail, where
there was n small hole, through which
they We're able to obtain their freedom.
The entire force of deputies and po-
ice, as soon as the alarm was given
started in every direction, but the men
had a good start. and at late hour to-
night none of them had been cap
tured. The escape of Pug Ryan is con-
sidered most serious occurrence, for
he is dangerous and desperate char
acter, and had succeeded in eluding
capture for four years.
Ryan was at the head of n gang of
nh lNny rl,.,1 1s.lI
at Breckenridge four years ago. and in
the battle with deputies next day two
of the gang were killed and two officers
received fatal wounds. Ryan escaped
to the Pacific coast, and was captured
there last April. He was brought back
to Breckenridge, but the sheriff of
Summit county gave him in charge of
Sheriff Long of Lake county for safe
keeping.

Gentlemen:-Your request for infor-
nation regarding my farming re-
ceived. l came to Denver, Colorado.
in 1891 from the state of Washington,
after having been through several of
the older states. l worked for others
in Denver for two years and then
came to the Eaton potato district and
worked for two years on a farm by
the month. l had loaned some of my
money and had almost nothing to start
on, but nevertheless l did make ar
rangements to farm, the owner of the
land furnishing the teams and tools
and taking as rent a two-fifths part of
the crop. That was in 1897. That fall
my crop was $4,000 bushels of pota-
toes, 1000 bushels of wheat and over
200 tons of hay. 1 had $500 capital
to start farming with and that falls
crop sales. after paying my bills, left
me over $500 net profit 1 am on the
same farm vet and have made money
every year. l find farming a success
full business if man uses good judg-
ment and hustles.
You ask about my last years crop.
I grew about 1900 bushels of pota-
toes. 400 bushels of wheat, GOO bush
els of oats and $50 tons of hay. The
total value of the same was about $14,-
$50. l have examined the farming
conditions in several of the states, and
am satisfied that farming is more sure
and profitable here than in any other
place that l have known. Very truly
yours, CHRIS. NELSON,
Eaton Colorado
