Geo. Wise Touched
by Daring Prowler

One of the most daring robberies
that has occurred in Canon City for a
long time took place at the residence
OF Mr.. and Mrs. George A. Wise. sos
Greenwood avenue, shortly after .
O'Clock last Saturday afternoon, in
consequence of which Mr.. Wise is poor
er to the extent Of ST. in cash. not to
mention his sisterin-law. Mrs. Clar-
ence Wise, of Victor, who lost s. in
money and valuable diamond brooch.
The thief, who appears to have IA
miliarized himself with the house and
its surroundings by spying, cut hole
in the wire netting aud unfastened the
screen door, after which he entered the
house and boldly walked up the stairs
and began ransacking the rooms. Mrs.
Wise and her sister were out in the
yard at the time and did not see the
intruder enter, but the latter heard
noise up stairs few minutes later and
began an investigation which resulted
in the discovery Of the robber, who
was crowding such valuables ~ he was
able to find into pillow case, which
he had taken from the bed.
Instead Of going for Asiistanos she

booty. A scuffie ensued in which blows
were dealt on both sides. In the me-
lee both fell down the stairs and were
more or less painfully bruised by the
adventure. The young lady held TO
the pillow case with remarkable ten
acity and only relaxed her hold when
the robber struck her blow in the
face with his fist, which dazed her for
a moment. thus affording the thief an
opportunity TO get away.
The matter was reported to the po-
lice and every effort was made to To-
cate the burglar. but without avail.
and his identity will probably never be
definitely known, although it is sus-
pected that he is the young man em-
ployed by one of the express drivers of
the city to help carry the baggage of
the young lady he robbed from the
street into the room where the senss-
tional occurrence took place.

large number of chattel mortgag es
which quite unknown to the makers,
are not worth the paper on which they
are written. This state OF affairs is
the result OF an act passed by the last
legislature which went into effect on
March 25 Of this year, the provisions
Of which have not yet become . matter
Of public knowledge. The act in ques-
tion provides that any chattel mort
gage upon any part of the house
hold goods used by the family when
given or made by husband or wife re-
siding with the other, shall not be
valid unless executed or made by both
husband and wife jointly
Many such mortgages have been
filed since the act went into effec t
without regard to its provisions, and
unless they are executed anewby joint
signature the beneficiaries will have
nothing on which to base their claims.
Until the passage of the amended
law by the general assembly las.
winter only the husband s signature
was necessary to give validity to a
chattel mortgage, and, as an emergency
existed in tie opinion OF the legisls-
ture, the law was declared operative
the day after its adoption.

A GOOD CROP FOR

Congress VIII Be Asked to Dedicate . Strip

The officials OF the Pueblo land Office

orado, pending determination Of the
sdvisability Of including said lands
within forest reserve. or national
park, for the use Of the people.
This action Is the result OF an appli-
cation made BY the citizens Of Canon
tCity to the federal government several
months ago in which they asked that
the lands along the ciids on the north
ern side Of the Arkansas river at the
top Of the Royal Gorge, be ct asids

THEY FOUND SOME
POISON IN THE CUP

Sherman F. Rogers, Walter Rogers
and Harry J. Rodda, of the Home
Rak99&S2 Main street, were taken
-addenly IN from S65lse n caves
last Monday morning and for several
hours the condition of the latter two
was such as to arouse the deepest So
licitude on the part of their friends.
The attending ply ysicians were unable
to formulate satisfactory theory to
account for their suffering, nor could
the victims do very much to aid them
in q diagnosis of the trouble. except to
state that they had each drank a small
quantity of milk a short time previous
ly, which they thought might, perhaps,
furnish an explanation of the mystery.
They were not sure that the milk was
in any way responsible for their sick
ness, and only suggested it as a posi-
BILE solution of the problem.
Sherman Rogers drank less of the
fluid than his scompanions, and, as he was
less seriously affected than the Others.
il was believed the milk had something
to do with the matter, although there
was no positive evidence on that point.
Samples of the milk were sent to Den.
yer for analysis, but the result of the
examination has not yet been made
known.
The Rogers boys have so far recov-
cred as to be able to attend TO their
usual avocation, but have not forgotten
by any means their recent experience.
Harry Rodda is still quite sick, but
is improving rapidly and will be on the
street again in few days. He wss
delirious most of the time Monday and

To my way of thinking the Glidden

TO American automobilists than the
Gordon Bennett Cup race. To be
sure we want our machines enduring
and equal to the most severe tests OF

and should not interest America very
much. Road touring, at good rea-
sonable speed, does interest us very
much. Hence the value of such prizes
as the Glidden Trophy offered for
