The council on Monday evening let
the contract for paving in Dist No. . to
the Interstate Artificial Granite Co., of
Colorado Springs, the same company
that is now doing the work in Dist. No.
l. The price is a little higher for the
paving, but is enough less on the cross
walks and alley crossings to more than
make up the difference.
The community was surprised and
shocked Monday morning by the sad
news of the death of Wallace Robinson.

short time, but the attack OF typhoid
fever was very severe. He passed away
Sunday night. His death was peaceful
and although he knew of its approach,
he had no fear, A wife, two daughters
and one son survive him, to mourn the
loss of loving husband and father

entire community. The funeral servi-

ers for several months past than ever
before in it's history, and all but the
Indian, Harry, escaped by cutting out

wall. They cut an iron bolt through
with knife one OF them had smuggled
in and the rest Of the work was easy.
Two of the prisoners only had few
days more to serve and they have made
extra trouble for themselves as both
were recaptured. Those who escaped
were Jas Henderson, who was charged
with burning the Jones Bros saloon at
Holly, Art. Wiley. charged with steal
ing horses, Chas. E. Foster, who mbez-
zled sone OF the Santa Fe's hard earned
dollars, Harry Laboch, who forged few
checks, and j. w. Smith and Frank
Bowman, who were serving sentences
for minor offences against the city. The
alarm was promptly given and the Of
ficers started on the trail Of the prisoners
but found no trace OF them until Mon
day evening when all but Henderson
and Wiley were brought in by parties
who had been out south hunting. The
prisoners were camped near w M. Will
sons ranch when captured and had
broken into VIM. Dargie's house to get
breakfast. The other two when last
seen were headed south also and will
probably be caught yet.
