EXCURSION TO
SILVER CLIFF
And Incidently a Basket Picnic at
the Site Of the DeWeese-Dye
Ditch company's Dam on Upper
Grape Creek.

Through the efforts of Dali Deweese
an arrangement has been made with the
d. & r. @. railroad company to run a
special excursion train from Florence
to Silver Cliff on the 5th of next month
in order that people from this section
may have an opportunity of visiting
the site OF the dam and big storage
reservoir of the De Weese-Dye Ditch
Company in the Wet Mountain valley
Tickets viii be sold from Canon City
to Silver Cliff and return for $50, and
an additional 80 cents will be charged
those who desire to make the carriage
trip from the railroad terminus to the
picnic grounds. 1t will be the last ex-
cursion of the season and will doubt
less attract a.large crowd of people from
both Florence and this city. There
viii be base ball game at Silver Cliff
between the team at that place and the
Rodda Nationals of this city, and those
who do not care tn attend the picnic
will be afforded ample entertainment
in town.
The Importance of the Deweese-Dye
Ditch Company's storage reservoir at
the head of Grape creek TO the people
of Lincoln Park can hardly be over
estimated, and many of the people of
that suburb will avail themselves of
the excursion TO see the basin of the
lake which in the future is to be the
source of their supply of water for irri-
CATION purposes.
Those who expect to attend the pic
mic are reqested to take their dinners
with them. The train will leave here

Escape
theGuards
Jackson and Edward
Solomon Tire of Pen.
Two Brothers Make Bold Break
For Liberty. One of Them Was
Recaptured.

Jackson Solomon and brother,
Edward Solomon, convicted of robbing
a freight car in Otero county, who
were serving with prison gangs outside
the penitentiary wall escaped from
their oyerseers about 80 o'clock yes
terday morning the latter of the two
wards, the other making good his
escape in the hills northeast of the
city.
At the usual time yesterday morning
two gangs of convicts left the prison;
the first in charge of Overseer Lee
Taylor going to ranch No. 2, to do farm
work and the second in charge of Over
seer ]. 1. Denison going to the Royal
Gorge mine to haul coal. Jackson
Solomon was in the first named gang
and his brother in the other one.
1t is the custom on reaching the
mine to unhitch the horses from the
wagons while the coal is being loaded.
Taking advantage of that fact Edward
Solomon embarrassed one of them and
when the oyerseer was not looking
jumped upon its back and galloped
away as fast as the animal could go.
]. G. Harvey of South Canon. former
guard at the penitentiary. who hap
hened to ride up on horseback q few
minutes later was informed of the oc-
currence and started in pursuit of the
fugitive, who was overhauled and cap
tured beyond Alkalai Gap about three
miles from the mine. The prisoner
was taken back to the penitsntiary and
Harvey was given fifty dollars in ac-
cordance with the custom of thesstate.
Jackson solomon succeeded in get
ting possession of horse at the ranch
at about the same time as his brothers
adventure at the mine and rode rapidly
in the direction of Four-mile creek,
farming the animal loose near Green's
ranch, about a mile below the entrance
to Oil creek canon. He took to the
mountains at that point and up to 5
O'Clock in the afternoon no trace of him
could be found, although score of
men were looking for him. Informa-
tion of his escape has been sent to all
points within a radius of a hundred
miles and his recapture is regarded as
practically certain.
Jackson Solomon was received at the
penitentiary November 3rd, 1903, under
an inderterminste sentence of from six
to ten years, and was registered on the
prison rolls as No 5Ssl Edward Solo,
mon was known as No. $3.50, and was
sentenced for period of from four to
eight years. The escaped convict is
twenty-eight years of age and is six
feet Que and three-quarter inches in
height.
With the exception Of one convict,
who was subsequently convicted of
burglary in Kansas and sentenced to
the penitentiary at Lansing in that
state, the Solomon brothers are the
first prisoners to escape from the Colo
rado penitentiary since the administra-
tion of Warden Cleghorn began.

crag as to command view of every
avenue of approach, the checkered herd
whom painted skins adorn' is to be
viewed perambulating some rocky ledge
on which the rifle ball alone can reach
it.
''No sooner has the note of alarm
been sounded by the vidette than, prick
ing their long ears, the whole flock hur-
~ forward to ascertain the nature of
the approaching danger, and, having
gazed moment at the advancing
hunter, whisking their brindle tails
aloft, heller SHELTER they thunder down

went to Rome to receive episcopal con-

whiskers much more voluminous than
the clerical inch which custom or
courtesy used to allow to all Catholic
ecclesiastics. The cardinal project Of
propaganda, who was to perform the
conservation ceremony, was Mortified

whiskers before the conservation took

kers blossomed forth again.

When the coin is dropped through the
