President Roosevelt breaches tc
Congregation Of Ranchmen
and MOuntaineers
DRESSED IN HUNTING eARs
Thousands of People Travel Long Dis
tances to See and Hear tho Presi-
don't at Sunday Service In the Old
Blue School House-PIoases His
Hearers.

Glenwood Springs. Col, May I. -
Unique in the history of Colorado were
the church services held at the old
Blue school house on West Divide
creek Sunday, attended by President
Roosevelt and his hunting party. and
all the ranchmen and their families
for miles around.
The little district school building
was not tenth part large enough
to accommodate the congregation, and
as a result the organ was moved to
the platform in front. On this plat
form, seats were provided for the pres
dent and his party, the Rev. Horace
Mann OF Rifle, Col, who preached the
sermon; the choir and the trustees Of
the church. The members of the con-
gregation stood or sat on the ground
or In their conveyances, which were
grouped around the building.
The sermon by the Rev. Mann was
of an unusual kind. 1t began with a
story, teemed with slang of the wes-

to the hardships of mountain life. 1t
touched on the responsibilities OF the
position Of president as well as Of the
characteristics of some of the men who
have occupied that exalted place. Az
ter he had concluded. the president
spoke for about ten minutes. He ex-
pressed his well known views of good
citizenship, the morality Of man, pat
riotism and duty to the home and
country. He was cheered heartily
turnout his remarks. After the SER
vices were concluded, he shook hands
with every man, woman and child
present.
The services at the school house
were begun at IL o'clock. Long before
that hour, the ranchmen and their wiv-
es began to assemble. Many persons
drove or rode horses from Newcastle.
Rifle and other towns from five to
fifteen miles away. The presidents
party presented picturesque appear
ance as they ,came UP. All were on
horseback and they We're dressed in
their hunting clothes. They had no
others at the camp.
At the conclusion of the presidents
remarks, he said:
And now l want to shake hands
with all of you. There are a good

to milling" a
AS the president made use OF these
cattle terms, the applause was terrific.
He took a position in corner where it
was impossible for the people to
crowd. DIR. Lambert acted as chief of
the secret service and the hunters and
cowboys as his assistants. They pass
ed the crowd along and despite the
fact that the president had word for
nearly everyone, the congregation was
disposed of in about half an hour. All
remained, however, until the presidents
party started back for their camp.

BODY SEEN in A DREAM.
Drowned Boys Remains Recovered by
~ Following up the Vision.


Pittsburgs May 1.-The body Of Cliff
ford Stoffeb the 12-year-old boy who
was drowned In the Ohio river off
Economy on April IL, was found after
. twenty minutes search, tho all for
mer attempts to recover it had failed.
The reason for the quick success is
attributed to a dream.
y. l3. Douds, OF Beaver Falls, a
wealthy man who owns a farm across
the river from where the boy was
drowned, helped to hunt for the body
Immediately after the accident, but,
like all others, was not successful. He
had given up all hope Of the body ever
being recovered when a dream reveal
ed to him the body of the boy wedged
under great root in the river bed,
fifty feet from shore and 200 feet be-
low where the accident occurred.
Accompanied by many persons from
Economy, he went to the spot in
dictated in the dream. After only
twenty minutes search the giant root
was located and underneath was found
:wedged in tightly the body of the boy.

A steel bridge now under construc-

is to be eighty feet wide over all, car
