Deep Lake Men Indicted.

A special in the Denver Post from
Pueblo, date of April 10, says:
Mark Love and Elmer Stephenson,
Indicted by the federal grand jury for
the alleged illegal occupancy of pub
liz lands, We're arrested yesterday
afternoon and gave bond for their ap-
pearance at the next term of court.
The accused had for years maintained
q popular resort hotel at Deep lake,
In White river forest reserve. They
are charged with erecting fences
which, with the natural formation Of
the land, created an enclosure. The
place is one of the most popular sum-
mer resorts in the state, being the
headquarters for hunting and fishing
enthusiasts. The case is likely to in
volve the conflscation by the govern
inent of much valuable property.

Death Of Mrs. William Kinche

Death Of Mrs. William Kincher.
Mrs. William Kincher, sister-in-
law of John Kincher, died on II Colo
RADIO Midland train early Thursday
morning, April 14th, as the train was
nearing the top of the divide over
Hagerman pass. Mrs. Kincher came
to Meeker from Guide Rock, Neb.,
last September In quest of health.
For time she was greatly benefited
by the change but since the first of
the year has been on the decline. A
short time ago she made up her mind
that she had not long to live and
wrote her husband to come aud take
her home SO she might see her chill
dren. once more before the end came.
Mr.. kincher arrived in town two
weeks ago to-day and started on the
return trip with his invalid wife
on Tuesday of last week. When n
short distance out the government
rOad Mrs. kincher became SO i'll 1T
was necessary to return to r. o.
Reynolds with her. Later in the day
another start was made and Rifle
was reached Wednesday evening in
time to catch the east-bound Midland
train. The Leadville Herald-Demo-
crat of April 10th. contained the fol-
lowing in regard to Mrs. Kincher's
sad death:
Mrs. Helena Kincher died suddenly
on a Colorado Midland train short
distance east of Basait shortly after
midnight of Wednesday. The body
was brought to this city on the train
which arrived here Mt two o'clock
yesterday morning and was taken in
charge by Coroner Howell.
The death was peculiarly sad and
the grief of William kincher, the
husband of the woman, was pitiable.
Mrs. Kincher has been visiting
brother of her husband in Meeker for
some time. She was afflicted with
Bright's disease and about a week
ago began to complain that she was
not feeling well. She sent word to
her husband who was at their home
in Guide Rock, Neb., that she wanted
him to come to Colorado and take her
home. She stated in her letter to
him that she was very sick and did
no. think she would live long, but
tnat She wanted to .,o.hoLie and see
the children again before the end

west and found his wife suffering
from "a severe attack of her trouble.
Wednesday Mr.. and Mrs. Kincher
boarded the Colorado Midland train
at Rife and started back to Guide
Rock. Shortly after passing through
Basalt, Mrs. Kincher complained that
she was very i'll. There was no ply
sician on the train, but her husband
made her as comfortable rs he could
with the assistance of the trainmen.
Just as the train was climbing the
steep grade toward the top Of the
range west of this city the final sum
mons came and Mrs. Kincher passed
away.
Mr.. Kincher was Frustrated by the
