Then on Wednesday William Wal
ter of the Sheephorn reserve dispelled
the loneliness of bachelor life by
taking unto himself wife and the
happy couple passed through here
Thursday on their way to Rifle for a
short visit. They were married at
Wolcott.
The Glenwcod Office of the Holy
Cross reserve contributed the third

return trip alone for while there he
will be married to Il charming Nebras-

SERIES OF SAD AC-
CIDENTS OCCUR
In Which Two Meet Death aat Oae
Serious It Not Fatal hjury

The remark is often heard that acci-
dents, deaths, marriages and other
incidents which attract wide atten-
tion in community. occur in series,
and New Castle WAS certainly strik-
ing example of this belief Tuesday
mig t. Between 6 O'Clock in the af-
ternoon and in the morning there
were three accidents, two of which
loss of limb.
The first of the series occurred at
the Carter ranch below New Castle.
Little Leroy Elliott went with son
of Rev. Carter to the field for load
of hay, and the two boys instead of
being on the wagon were each riding
one OF the horses. Without noticing
they rode into hornets nest and the
horses, maddened by the stings Of the
aroused insects, ran wildly toward the
barn, throwing the younger child to
the ground When the little fellow
was reached he was found to be dead,
the fall having broken his neck. The
Carter boy slid off his horse and es-
capped uninjured. Leroy was the six
year old son of w. A. Elliott, q mer-
chant living near Carroll, Illinois.
The mother, who was visiting at the
ranch, left Thursday morning on her
sad journey home with the remains
of her little boy.
Colorado Midland train No. Al,
freight which left Glenwood after
midnight, was the principal in the
next two accidents John Polka, a
Greek or Austrian miner, who works
at the Coryell mine and lives in
cabin nearby, was going home from
town where he had spent the evening

influence of liquor, at any rate he

reached. where the third of the series
was to occur. While the train was
switching Brakesman Walter Shafer
walked off box car and fell under
the train, the wheels crushing his
left leg above the ankle, just the
same as that Of the foreigner whom
he had assisted an hour before.
Shafer also had three ribs broken and

ABOUT OUR NEXT
REPRESENTATIVE

Much interest has been manifested
concerning the candidacy of Rev.
Horace Mann of Rife, the republican
nominee for representative, and the
Post is this week pleased to present the
likeness of Mr. Mann and few
words bearing on his career.
Rev. Mann is a native of Vermont,
but had charge of his first church at
Albany New York, and in view of
his later acquaintance with President
Roosevelt, 1t is interesting to note
that he was at Albany when Mr..
Roosevelt was governor of New Yo,k
and attended the convention at Sara.
toga when the gubernatorial nomina
tion was made.
Since his boyhood Mr. Mann has
kept in close touch with political life
and during his residence in Albany,
the capital of New York, he was a
frequent spectator at the sessions of
the Legislature. When he moved to
Ohio, he kept as strict an eye on the
political situation at Columbus.
His fist pastorate in Colorado was
the Christian church of Rifle, and he
is still retained at that place. AS a
monument to his ability and energy
stands the handsome new edifce dedi-
Gated only few months ago. This
church, by the way, contains the me-
moral window purchased by the sale
of photographs of President Roosevelt
taken by Mr.. Mann while the guest of
the president during his famous hunt.

Mr.. Mann was signally honored by
the nations chief executive, as the
Post $ readers will remember and the
story of The Little Blue School
house, will long remain in the mind
of the people, not only of this section,
but of the outside world
Rev. Mann has always been an a5-
vocate of clean politics and with
voice and pen has urged young men
to go into politics, an example he has
set by himself becoming candidate
for representative.

How They Grow Them at pdIiSdde

Last week o. Nelson brought some
peaches into town that counted AS to
the box. This was not at the time
considered particularly extraordinary,
owing to the fact that last year j.
H. Sayles packed one box that con
tanned only 3s. and quite number of
his poxes ran but 40. Harry Pnrdy
now of the Tribune Office, was the
packer, and he reports that of the

LARGE SANITARIUh
FOR GL Ht'''ri''
Building to Contain Sixty ROomS--.
Completed by New Year

During the past year Glenwood has
been fortunate in securing institu-
tions which will add greatly to the
prosperity of the town First on the
list was the Glenwood Fish hatchery
which Is now in working order and is
weekly distributing small fry to the
adjacent mountain streams.
The next project to come before the
people was the Roaring Fork Plaster
company and we are assured that the
the snow flies
But this week work was begun on
the new sanitarium which has for
months been planned and worked for
to Glenwood more than year ago,
DR.. Berry realized the possibilities of
such an institution for Glenwood
Springs, as have other far seeing men,
but before going ahead, he demon
strated the practicahility of the
scheme, and he has had call for much
more room than was possible for him
to furnish in his present location.
With the idea in view then of erect
ing more commodious and conven-
lent building to meet the growing de
mand, DR.. Berry started out to secure
the support of the citizens of Glen
wood, and found some willing and
ready to assist, but he has had to
contend with knockers until less
persistent man would have long ago
given up the task, thwarted as he was
at every turn.
sit is largely due to the influence
of G. W. Darrow that l am able to
start the work on the new sanitari-
um," said DR.. Kerry when interview
ed IN regard to the matter.
MIR. Darrow, besides being Il per
sopal friend of mine. is a friend to
Glenwood, and realizing the benefit
such an institution would be to the
town and surrounding country, has
more than anyone else aided me in
securing the necessary funds for the
building. To him and ten other
wideawake and enterprising citizens
who have confidence in my ability to
carry through this undertaking, I am
under lasting obligation.
The sanitarium is to be located on
the corner of Tenth and Bennett. and
will face Tenth street. The building
will be in the shape of I, with a
court or grass plot on either side of
the extended wing 1t will be two
stories besides basement and attic and
when completed will accommodate 52
patients easily, hut if necessary more
could be taken care of. No contract
has been le.. but the doctor expects
to supeiintend the work and have the
building ready for occupancy between
the 18th and 3lst of December.
Besides the cost of construction,
which will be about fl5, 600, the
monthly expenditure when in full
running order. will be in the neigh
borhood of f1,200 This will of
course mean much to Glenwood, and
the adveI Itising carried by the insti-
tuition all over the country will be
the means of arousing much interest
in Glenwood Hot Springs.

h.''t at once. Nothing

vior. But when the
lady asked Mrs. Schwartzman if she
had sold the watch so soon that had
been in the show case, mental review
of the customers was made and the
boys were thought to be the likely
guilty parties.
Cndersheritf Divelbiss was ap-
pealed to, the boys were found and
searched. The watch WAS not found,
but the one who had waited at the
show case while his friend looked at
the suit case, acknowledged that he
had taken the watch. which was
valued at 500. and traded it to another
boy for one of cheaper grade, which
was found to he true
Mrs. SchwartZman was SO rejoiced
at the recovery of her watch and so
pitied the lad who had been tempted
to commit the theft that warrant
was not sworn out.
The boy in question is said to live
in the lower part of the county, and
it is reported that this is not his first
ot1ense.

The rest got Nick Adams champion

"A deal has just been closed

on the future of the lead and zinc
mines of southwestern wisconsin.
The general Electric company of
New York, represented by A. O..
Fox of Madison, has secured what
is known as the Dubuque high
bridge over the Mississippi river.
The purchase price is said to have
been $125, 900. The General Electric
company has made two surveys for
an electric road. The great stumb-
ling block has been in getting across
the Mississippi river. With the pur-
chase of this bridge this difficulty
has been overcome. A greater part

the principal mines in the district.
This company has expended over
$40, 900 in making the survey and
together with the expenditure of
