the friend that if any One had any,

trusted him. He then exhibited
a telegram which he had received

Miss Grubb Hills a Bear

Miss Pauline Grubb, the fourteen
year old daughter of E. H. Grubb, of
Carbondale, drove to Glenwood Tues
day morning, bringing the skin of a
two year old cinnamon bear which
she had killed last Sunday while
hunting on Thompson creek. Miss
Grubb is splendid rifle shot but had
never before killed a bear and she is
in very joyful mood over her Prov
ess. The young lady has always had
an ambition to xii a bear but when
Bruin at the first shot from her rifle
tumbled over and uttered pitiful
groan, Miss Grubb's heart failed her
and she said had a second shot been
necessary to dispatch his bearship she
fears she would not have been equal
to the task, but the first shot proved
effective and in an hour from the
time it was fired, the lady was riding
proudly toward her home with the
handsome pelt strapped to her saddle.
The skin has been left with Cross
& Baker, local taxidermists, for
mounting in a rug, which will adorn

To Organize Institutes

Dean Carlyle of the Agricultural
college is planning arrangements to
organize farmers institutes in every
county of the state where enough
farmers can be found to make meet
ing. A number of counties have al
ready organized and others are prepar-
ing to organize. This is regarded by
the agricultural department as the
most important work for the agricul-
tural colleges in each state. In the
eastern states the results from the in
stitute work have been wonderful. In
Colorado the local live stock organi.
cations are taking up this matter and
are assisting in forming the institute
organizations. 1t is hoped that before
the year is over practically all the
counties will be organized. A corps
Of speakers will he engaged for next
fall and series of meetings will be
held over the state where the stock
men and farmers can be given talks
from some Of the most successful ex-
ports in the country. Denver Record

Death of Mrs. RawIiaaS

Mrs. w. o. Rawlings. Of Debeque.
died at 5:45 Friday morning at the
home of her sister, Mrs. M. Lewis.
Mrs. Rawlings about two months ago
entered the Red Cross hospital where
a short time later baby was born.
Blood poisoning developed which
baffied all efforts of the physicians but
postmortem exa.nination revealed an
abscess in the side which 1t is said
would have resulted in death sooner
or later and which doubtless was par
tally responsible for the obstipacy of
the infection.
Deceased was about 35 years of age
Sne had resided with her husband on
their ranch on Wallace creek and in
Debeque many years and besides her
husband, two children and sister,
leaves large circle Of friends to

The fellows had purchased some
groceries at the Colorado Supply

at the side of the road to prepare
breakfast. They gave their names as
William Hayes, W. H. Martin, Char

asked from where they came answered
From GlenYood' but the fact that

To Celebrate the Fourth

The Fourth of July committee held
meeting Monday evening for the
purpose of devising ways and means
for the celebration of the Fourth of
July in Carbondale. One hundred
dollars has already been subscribed
and the committee does not think they
will have any trouble to raise enough
money to have good celebration.
The matter was talked over in detail,
and was decided to have good dis
play of fireworks. good band of
music, a dance in the afternoon and
evening, baseball and basket bail, and
a lot of other sports. If the business
men will give the committee the
proper support Carbondale will have
celebration to be proud of.-Car-

Another theory advanced is that in
making the turn from the Grand river
into the Green river the current was
so strong that the boat could not stem
it and was carried down the Colorado
canon as the Colorado river is formed
by the junction of the Grand and
Green 1t is posi- BILE that the occu-
pants of the boat will be heard from
and that they are safe but their con
timed absence is causing much appre-
hension.
Night before last, Orson Adams.
cashier of the Mesa County bank of
this city, telegraphed to Thompson
Springs, small town about half way
between Green river and Moab, direct
ing that a searching party be sent out
and three men We're detailed to trav
erse the entire distance, but so far
have not been heard from. The boat
in its journey between the two towns
would traverse some Of the widest
country in the west. Both Mr.. Ella
and Mr.. Lumsden are well known

secure a room where they could enter
tain their friends from other towns
and enjoy themselves together and he
asked for reasonable consignment of
berries for that purpose. The com
mittee promised to supply their rea-
sonable needs.

FRANK COWLtS SUICIDES
After Killing Former Sweetheart
Known in GIenwOOd Where
Two Brothers Reside

Frank Cowles brother of W. S.
Cowles of this city shot and killed
himself in Pueblo Thursday night
after killing former sweetheart,
Miss Stella Brice.
Such was the information conveyed
in the following press dispatch from
Pueblo yesterday morning:
Pueblo, May 1s. s.-In fit Of jeal-
ousy Frank Cowles, a railroad switch
man, tonight shot to death Miss Stella
Brice, his former sweetheart, and
Immediately afterwards sent. a bullet
into his own brain that resulted in
his death an hour later. Both are
comparative strangers in this city.
About noon Friday Glenwood Off
GERS received the following telegram
from a firm of Pueblo undertakers:
Frank Cowles killed here last
night. Mother and brothers live in
your town.
McMAHAN & COLLIER
Undertakers. I"
This telegram was at once delivered
to Mrs. W. S. Cowles, who phoned
the particulars to her husband and
his brother Charley, who are at Grand
Junction.
Frank Cowles lived in Glenwood
several years ago working as brake
man on the Rio Grande. Some ten
or twelve years ago his wife at that
time in fit of jealousy swallowed a
large dose of poison with suicidal in
tent but Doctor Clark and his stomach
pump reached the scene in time to
save the woman's life. Soon after
her recovery Mrs. Cowles left her hus-
band and few months ago was mar
ried to farmer near Montrose.
About two years ago Frank Cowles
married woman from the state Of
Washington. A year ago last sum
mer Mrs w. s. Cowles visited the
couple at their home in Victor. She
later received letter from her sister
in law stating that Frank had gone to
Old Mexico.
Less than year ago Mrs. Cowles
received another letter from her sister
informing her that they were then
living in Denver. Mrs. Cowles re-
piled at once but her letter was re-
turned to her. Since then nothing
whatever has been heard from Frank
Cowles and his wife by their relatives
until the telegram announcing his
suicide was received here Friday.

A WRECK FEARED
Delay Of Steamer Causes Fears for
Safety of Grand junction
Business Men

Grand Junction, May 1s.-Consid
cradle uneasiness is felt in this city
over the continued lack OF news from
1.-The City of Moab the river steamer
which started on it's initial trip from
Green River, Colorado. to Moab,
Utah, one week ago tomorrow and
which has not been heard from since,
although searching parties have been On
the river for the past 4s hours trying
to locate the vessel, or secure some
information concerning it. The boat
was on its first trip and aboard were
w. T. Ella, president of the Mesa
County National bank and John J.
Lumsden, owner of the boat and a
prominent mining man of this city,
together with crew of FIVE men.
The boat which was IS feet long and
cost about 800, 600 was built for the
purpose Of running to the junction
Of the Grand and up the Green to the
town Of Moab. 1t was to be used rs
an excursion boat.
The two rivers have very swift cur
rents and In places the channels are
very narrow, running between the
rocky sides Of the mountains. The
boat left Green river last Friday
morning and was to reach Moab Sat
urday night. No word whatever has
been received from it up to o'clock
this evening and the friends of the
men aboard are fearful that they have
perished. either by running against
the rocks thus destroying the boat or
one Of the powerful engines having
exploded. The boat carried provi-
sions to supply the men for FIVE days

ROOSeveIt'S Tribute TO Colorado

The Post received this week neat
and attractive little folder gotten ont
ing incidents of President Roosevelt's $
trip from Glenwood Springs to Denver
and extracts from speeches made to the
crowds gathered at the stations along
the line. These folders will be dis
tributed all over the United States
and will be means of placing our
state more before the people as a piece
for them to spend their vacations.
Following is probably the most apt
and general compliment paid Colorado
by the president.

the entire month of August as here
tofore.
Those to whom hunting licenses
have been issued during 1905 will do
well to post themselves on the law as
the law printed on the old form or
licenses is now obsolete and holders of
these licenses will be held responsible
for knowledge of the present law
regardless Of the sections printed on
the old licenses.
1t is expected that the new licenses
under the new law will be printed

Gold Strike IN taqIe C0unty

A new mining excitement is on, q
strike having been made at Pando, q
station six miles up the Eagle river
above Red Cliff and people from all
over this part of the state are making
trips to the scene. The Leadville
Herald Democrat has the following to
say concerning the prospects:
Direct information received yester-
day from Leadville men who made a
hasty tip to Pando, the scene of the
new rich strike, eighteen miles west
of here, confirms practically all the
statements regarding the find, but
makes it yet an unknown quantity.
The value of the ore is not overrated.
they say, but it is not yet absolutely
determined whether it is in anything
more than pocket.
The strike, with the subsequent
rush to the new country from all parts
within vicinity of twenty five miles,
created intense excitement among To-
cal mining men, number of whom
left yesterday morning for the scene
of activity. AS there is no telephone
connection with Pando, a small rail
road station on the Rio Grande just
six miles this side of Red Cliff, Lead
vile was largely dependent upon the
return of those who went there for
their information. During the day
the strike was the subject of converse
tion on all sides. Many conservative
mining men, while wishing that the
strike was genuine, we're inclined to
doubt 1t on the ground that the assay
figures were too large to be really Of a
vein and that the lay of the land did
not favor strike of that quality,
where it was said to be. Many claim
ed that the site of the new discovery
was surrounded by wash and not in
the proper formations.

A Pleasing Recital

The song recital and entertainment
given Wednesday evening under the
auspices Of st. Stephens church by
Nine. Rosa D Erina, Ireland's prima
donna soprano and concert orsanist,
and Mr.. G. r. vontom. tenor and
humorist, was one that was we'll worth
going to hear.
The Rose Of Ireland is certainly an
artist on the piano and the organ alike
and has a melodious, we'll cultivated
voice. Her opening selection "Avs
Maria" was especially we'll rendered,
while the songs Of the Emerald Isls
were sung very impressively. The
organ medley was one of the other very
pleasing selections.
Mr.. vontom has an easy stage pres
ence and practicularily In his comic
songs caught the fancy Of his audieoos.

Interesting Letter From c. n. Heck

The following letter from c. NJ
Keck dated at Munchen, Germany,
May 2, was received at this office last
Sunday:
Here we are at Munich, the home
of the best beer and the prettiest
women, combination hard to beat
and you know that is what DR.. Mar
tin Luther said. We are having a
nice time, everybody we'll and the
weather glorious. We have taken in
all there was to see, so far. Tomor
row we leave for Switzerland, taking
in Constance, Zurich, Luzerne, Berne,
Balse, Strassburg, Heidelberg, Frank
furt, Moniz, Bingen. from whence we
take boat to Cologne, and proceed to
Paris We meet Americans every.
where and English is spoken in most
of the large stores. Travelling ism t
a. all expensive if one is on to the
ropes. For instance, where we are
stopping is first t-class place and our
three meals for family and nice front
room with two beds stands me not to
exceed -. so per day. Of course you
can press the limit, but am not will
ing to press it as yet.
What appeals to us most is the way
women work here. Mostly women
work on the streets here to keep the
pavements clean, and they push
carts through the country like oxen.
They do all kinds of hard work and
don I seem to mind it at all.
What will probably interest you is
the fact that last week we took in the
lithographing stone quarries at Soln
hagen, the only place in the world
where this stone is quarried. 1t was
certainly sight.
The sights here in Munich, the
Pearl of Bavaria, are so many and
varied that it isn't worth while to
enumerate them. The principal things
of interest are the beer gardens. Last
Sunday all the gardens were Jam full.
We all went to the Loewenbrau,
where regimental band was playing
and ont of three Thousand people
present, not one drank whiskey and
there wasn't t one that was intoxicated.
The boys would take their sweethearts
and mothers their daughters and
everything was as sociable as could
be. But from personal observations,
| think it would be next to impossi BILE
to do this in America as too many
would want to go to such place to
get drunk and the result would be a
rough house and the better class of
people would not patronize the place
as is the custom here.
In reading the German paper here
yesterday | noticed quite a mention of
President Roosevelt at Glenwood. 1t
will probably not be possible for me to
reach home before the 9Th of June, on
account of our boat having been sold
to the Russian government However,
| if l can change over to some other
line, which Is admissible, will come
a little earlier. AT all events, l will
be home not later than June 9th.

II want to say you have
got a wonderful asset in
your scenery, in the natural
beauties of this state.
Passing through your
wonderful mountains and
canons | realize that this
state is going to be more and
more the playground for the
entire republic. Not only
have you serious work to do,
but you will have to provide
for a lot of the rest of us
from the Fast and West who
will come here to see your
magnificent landscapes. to
enjoy holidays that can be
enjoyed among your mount
aims. l have been more and
more impressed with that as
l have been through your
state, and you will see this
the real Switzerland of
America, and made as much
of holiday place as Switzer-
land is in Europe. -
