An incident occurred up Brush
creek last Saturday which has aroused
feeling of deep indignation in this
locality. Mrs. Green Fisher has for
some time been keeping house for

the Kempf ranch part of which Mr.
Branson has leased. Some time ago
she secured a divorce from her hus

with gun, and made "a savage attack
upon his former wife, whom he over
awed with the weapon. He beat her
with his fists, bruising her face and
blacking both of her eyes There was
no person around the house to protect
the poor woman, who was terrified at
the brute's actions. Fisher had the
gall to remain at the house for dinner,
at which Mr. Branson was present, in
forming his wife that he would kill
her if she did not give "A satisfactory
explanation As to how she received

of the country Colorado is regarded as

The following clipping from the

dispel this idea:

he will ship several cars from New

BOULEVARD TALK

Driveway Between Carbon.
dale and GIenwOOd
A PROJECT WORTHY OF SUPPORT

The talk of a boulevard between
Glenwood and Carbondale has been
renewed aud X. c. Voorhees, expects
to push the matter during the next
few weeks. He hopes to arouse
enough interest among the business
men of the two towns so that it will
be possible to raise a considerable
portion of the funds necessary to be
secured at home It's likely that the
Legislature will be asked to contribute
towards the building of the road by
means of a bill which it is proposed
to introduce in the house or senate
through Senator Taylor or Representa-
tive Drach 1t is probable that the
sum of 50 600 will be asked for with
the expectation that the balance of
the sum necessary to build the road
will be secured from parties who are
interested here
The dri veway will extend for dis
tance of about u miles to Carbondale
with possibility of its b eing extend
ed further up the Roaring Fork river
The scheme is a good one and Mr.
Voorhees, should receive encourage
ment from all sources as it should
prove of much benefit to home people
rs well as an additional attraction for
tourists who are here during the sum
mer.
The good roads movement is flour,
ishing all over the country and Colo
RADIO should not be behind in the
movement. Such IA proposition as
that between here and Carbondale
carried to successful conclusion
would stimulate road building all
through this part of the country

was out and while waiting for No. l,
walked down the track to relight it.
When he reached the switch. he
noticed that the light had been blown
out purposely and the switch turned
half way to ditch the passenger He
tried to throw the switch back to the
main line but could not do so. Down
the track the headlight of No. ! came
into sight, approaching at the rate of
forty miles an hour
As he could not throw the switch,
he dropped to his knees to ascertain
the trouble and discovered that it was
Jammed part way open by means of
coupling pins, scrap iron and rocks.
de Immediately commenced working
with feverish haste to remove the OBJ
stacles while the train with its load
of human freight dashed forward to
what seemed certain destruction.
When only fifty yards away, he re-
moved the last obstacle and leaping to
the switch, he threw ii into place just
as the train rushed by all unconscious
of the danger 1t had escaped.
complete investigation was at
once commenced but nothing definite
has been learned as yet, although the
supposition is that IA daring holdup
had been planned and was only frus-
trated by the approach of Engineer
Blount. Had the passenger been de
rallied while running at such rate of
speed there is no doubt but that an
appalling loss of life would have been
the result as the train was crowded
to its utmost capacity.
No reason can be given for such
dastardly attempt to wreck the train
as it carried very few valuables and
the express safe would not have been
worth opening, as it had little in it.
Strict orders were issued to train
men to watch all switch lights care
fully and to slacken speed in passing
them, reporting anything unusual
that was noticed.

DiSmdy Among Office Holders

Washington, Nov. ga distinct
shock was administered to the large
circle of federal officeholders of the
higher grades today, when a rumor
spread over the city to the effect that
the edict had gone forth from the
White House against "A third term for
presidential appointees. The news is
expected to carry dismay to thousands
of good republicans all over the
country who thought that in the cleo
another four years stay in Office at
least.
President Roosevelt has set the ex-
ample for two term limit When
he issued the statement election night
that he would not accept -nomina-
ton, few oificehoders thought that the
same principle would be applied to
them. Such thing was unheard of
But it is said that persons who have
called at the White House and sound
ed the officials there on the matter of
securing new leases on their official
jobs after March have received little
encouragement.
81 understand, said member of
congress today, that the federal ap-
pointees who will have served eight
years in March next, will be asked to
step down and out and give others
chance This strikes me as fair
proposition. 1t eight years is long
enough for person to fill the presi
dency it ought to be long enough for
the postmasters, the revenue officers
and the army of other people whose
terms of Office run for four years
only. "
Should this rumor prove to be true
it will create CONSERVATION among the
republican faithful. from one end of
the country to the other. There are
something like TO- 900 postmasters all
of whom are appointed for term of
four years. The commission of each
must be renewed at the end of the
four years period. If those who
will have enjoyed public snaps for
eight years by March next are not
reappointed it will provide good
places for 80 600 to so, 600 good repub-
licans. The same thing applies to
the force of revenue collectors. There
are not so many of these officials, but
when the deputies have been added
the total is considerable
1t is customary for members of the
cabinet, the numerous assistant secre
taries and officers in the diplomatic
and consular service to tender their
designations to the preside whe n the
