Long Lost Brother Found

John w. Ritter, of New Castle,
left Monday morning for the Buffalo
Hump country in Idaho for the pur
pose of investigating the report he has
just received of the finding Of the re-
mains of man which he supposes are
those of his brother who was killed by
a snow slide in that country about two
years ago. Mr. Charles Ritter was
in the Buffalo Hump country engaged
in mining operation and was leaving
the country when he was overtaken
in slide and his body never found
Mr.. Ritter is confident that the re.
mains are those of his brother as no
one has been able to identify them.
The body was fonud at about the same
spot where the slide occurred which
is taken as good evidence that the
body is that of Ritter A thorough
investigation will be made to deter
mine absolutely the identity of the
body and if it is found to be that of
Charles Ritter it is likely that it will
be brought here for burial. The dead
man was quite well known through
out this section and many will re-
member hearing of his disappearance

Odd Fellows Home

An effort will probably be made by
local odd Fellows and citizens of
Glenwood to secure the establishment
in Glenwood of home for aged and
INDECENT Odd Fellows in the near fu-
ture. The grand lodge of Colorado
contemplates at no far distant day the
establishment of such home and
Glenwoodites claim that on account
of the unexcelled bathing facilities
the superb climatic conditions and
many other advantages this would
prove an ideal location for such an
institution.
According to the resolution of the
grand lodge providing for ''home
fund no investment shall be made
until there shall be at least S25, 600 in
the fund. As this fund now contains
over half the necessary amount it will
be but a few years when some def
mite action will be taken in the mat
ter and it is understood that during
the coming session of the grand lodge
which meets in Glenwood next month
some steps will be taken to present
Glenwood to the favorable consi dera
tion of that body as a suitable location
for this worthy institution
