COL. LACE RETURNS
The Distinguished Looking Old Man
Charged With Swindling DIR.
Eldridge, Brought to
This City by Dep
uty Knowles.

Last night on delayed No. Deputy
Sheriff Charles c. Knowles returned
to the city with Col. James C. Lace
charged with obtaining money under
| false pretenses from DIR. f. f. Ed
ridge, the details of the case having
been published in the Sentinel several
months ago.
Lace had been arrested at Reno.
| Nevada, in accordance to instructions
from this city He was held in GUS
tody by Chief of Police Leeper. Depu-
ty Sheriff Knowles went to Reno and
took charge of the prisoner. Lace ex-
pressed his willingness to return to
Grand Junction without requlsition
papers.
This morning the old gentleman
was arraigned before Justice Joseph
p. sweeney. He entered a plea of not
guilty. He stated that he desired to
make himself familiar with the charg-
es against him and therefore asked
for few days time. Deputy District
Attorney Coles agreed that the hear
ing be postponed until some day next
week. Lace stated that he did not de-
sire to employ lawyer as he is an
attorney himself He was remanded
to the county Jail to await the prelim-
mary hearing.
The complaining witness against
Lace is DR.. e. f, Eldridge. The COM
plant alleges that in February 1906
Lace interviewed DR.. Eldridge and
represented himself as the agent and
personal representative of the New
York Stock Exchange with power to
sell and negotiate certain stocks
through this exchange. and at Ger
tain prices. and further that he was
qualified to insure the life of DR.. Ed
ridge in the sum of $1,000. AS his
representations appeared to be genu-
Inc, and his propositions reasonable
and very acceptable, the doctor en-
tered a contract with him for insur-
ance and certain stocks, and states
that he paid Lace the sum of 1870.
Shortly afterward Lace left town and
DR.. Eldridge became suspicious and
after investigating satisfied himself
that Lace was swlndler and not a
representative of the New York Stock
exchange
All efforts of locate Lace at that
time We're in vain. Some time ago, it
was learned that Lace was in Reno.
Nevada and he was apprehended.
Lace states that he is confident that
he can prove that he is innocent of
the charges of obtaining money under
false pretenses but did not make
known his line of defense.
Col Lace is a very distinguished
looking old gentleman. said to be :;
native of the south. He is about 60
years of age. tall and erect. with
splendid military bearing. His hair
is white and he is smooth shaven. He
always wears suit of blue with
Prince Albert coat, and is always
seen wearing a larfe white soft hat.
He has the appearance and bearing
of a typical Southern colonel. He
would attract attention anywhere Last
spring he spent a number of weeks
here and many will remember seeing
him. He seems to be brilliantly edu-
Gated and is an attorney. He will
conduct his own defense.
1t is claimed that Lace at one time
went under the name of South.
The belief is expressed by some of
the authorities that Lace is one of
the cleverest swindlers in the west

self to writing there would never have

doubt the plays of today would have
been inferior to what they are.
Cowley became a poet purely
through chance When only a boy he
found in his mothers attic a copy
of Sponsors ''Faerie Queene" and, be-
coming enchanted by the rhyme. deter
mined to write poetry for himself.
Gibbon tells that it was while he was

great empire. Probably had he not

Corneille the French poet, was i'll

lawyer and turned writer.
Franklin discovered electricity by
accident, and Moliere was turned to
writing comedy, from the tapestry
trade, by a reprimand from his father
for leading a dissipated life.
Newton discovered the force of grav-
itation through mere chance. When
a student at Cambridge he went one
day to the country. Being weary with
his rambles, he sat down beneath an
apple tree, and while he was musing
there was rudely aroused by a severe
blow from an apple which, falling
from the branches, struck him OH the
head. He was surprised at the force
of the blow from so small an object,
and this led him to deduce the princi-

Flamsteed became an eminent as
