First Sight of Pixies Peak.

Writing from Goodnight, Texas. to
the Colorado Springs Gazette, Donald
Hewitt says:
Pike first saw the grand peak" or
great snow mountain" as he inyari-
ably calls 1t, at o'clock on the after
noon OF. November Is, 1906. He was
then marching along the Arkansas
river half dozen miles or less below
tho point at which the Purgatory or
Las Animas river flows into the Ar
kansas. This is not far from the cen
te- OF Bent county, Colorado. 1t is
exactly eighty miles in an air line from
Pueblo and 120 miles from the peak. A
study Of Pixies journal with a good
map at hand will determine the DO.

accuracy. The stages of his journey
OF the days preceding November 18th
can be easily followed The two dry
creeks, and very high points of rocks
passed early in the morning of the 18th
are to be found on the map. Nor is
there the slightest doubt that "the
fork discovered before evening on the
south side bearing S. 20 degrees w. is

RUGBY GAME Is
FINDING FAVOR
IN SCHOOLS.

BERKELEY, Oct. 27.-The game of
Rugby is succeeding beyond all ex-
pectations. according to an Official an
nouncement from President Wheeler S
office today. The authorities make the
following statement about the status
of Rugby here:
The University of California is glad
to announce that the game of Rugby
football is still succeeding almost be-
yond expectations. The varsity fifteen
is finding it possible to arrange con-
tests with a good many other teams.
Two games were played last week; one
with Pomona College, the other with
the All-stars team, an aggregation of
players in the immediate vicinity On
Wednesday the varsity played Vancou-
yer in a game fraught with interest and
excitement from start to finish. The
absence of injuries was a marked fea-
that the Vancouver men We're clad in
light suits with no padding, none was
injured In fact the only time taken
out during the contest was for a Cali
fornia player who lost his wind in a
scrimmage California won the victory
only by playing her level best.
1t is noticeable that the high schools
are taking UP we'll with the game. A
great many of the schools in the south
ern part of the State. have decided II
play Rugby altogether. The high
cling to the intercollegiate. but the
principals. and in many cases the stu
dents themselves, feel very strongly in
favor of Rugby, and are largely Ge-
TERED from trying 1T this year by the
difficulty of securing capable coaches.

Nickle, the last named two being well
known drivers. That these men have
the nerve of which heroes are made
was proved by the trip.
After their arrival in Los Angeles
after hard trip every member of the
crew, including a tire expert, worked
night and day to get things ready for
the return journey. They expected to
take a days rest and come back on
Saturday. but on Thursday word was
sent to them that they would have to
come up on Friday. They were about
all in but decided to obey orders.
When Tony Nichols started on the
record breaking trips he weighed 176
pounds. Just before he left Los An
geles Friday he got on the scales and
weighed under 15S. The party left
Los Angeles at a. m. and hit up a
pace that brought them into Santa
Barbara in four hours and nine min
utes. (Bert Dingley, the Vanderbilt
cup racer, who was lately over the
road, said yesterday that to take the
road between these points in less than
four hours would be tempting fate.)
Leaving Santa Barbara they were GO
ing along nicely when they came upon
a fractions team. Bob Fowler, who
was riding in the front seat with
Nichols, jumped out to hold the horses
so that the car could go by. AS the
car passed he let go off the horses and
made a running jump for the car. He
missed his footing and the rear wheel
passed over one leg at the knee and
over the other at the ankle 1t was
a nasty accident, but he would not give
up, for he knew that he was the only
one that was familiar with the road.
The boys wanted to let him get out
al one of the towns so that he could
get medical treatment, but they could
not get him to leave. They did the best
they could with the first aid to the
injured with the kit they had and he
took the wheel for a change. This
was the first time he drove that day.
He got along nicely for about seven
miles, when suddenly the pin in the
steering knuckle gave way, letting
down the car on the axle. The wheel

ler's parents live, that he allowed the
boys to carry him into the house. About
another half hour was lost at this
point.
Fourteen miles out of San Jose the
watch showed that they had two hours
and seven minutes to break the rec
ord. 1t was one chance out of a hun
dred, but they took 1t. After leaving
San Jose they struck a rut much deep

who was riding IN the tonneau alone,
was almost thrown over the front seat.
He said yesterday that from that
time until he stepped out of the car at
the finish he did not really know where
he was. In describing his condition
he said:
My head began to swim Then be-
gan to see men climbing up the sides of
the houses. I.saw big trees and gigan-
tic logs commence falling in front
of the machine. The next second the
car would go sailing up into the air
and then, with crash, we would come
to earth. oh, it was awful 1t was
hideous-something that will make, me
shudder every time | think of it,
Smith seemed to be in a trance.
Nichol said that as he turned into
Golden Gate avenue he shouted to
Smith to work the siren. Smith merely
gave it a turn, which coued not have
been heard ten feet away He leaned
over and shouted in his ear, Work the
horn; we have the record" Smith woke
up and ground the well as if mad. No
sane man could have turned it the way
he did.
AS the car came to standstill the
three boys jumped out. Harris just
walked through the crowd and went
home He did not realize where he was
until some time after he got into the
house.
Smith and Nichols went into the
office as if they were doped. They did
not seem to know any one Smith wan
dered out into the shop while Tony.

just sank into a chair and said mo

After getting away with a couple of

The record from Los Angeles to San
Francisco was lowered Friday night
by Tony Nichols and his crew in a
Franklin car, eight minutes and thirty
seconds, the time being twenty-one
hours, three minutes and thirty sec
onds. This is very small margin, yet
it is victory and all honor to those
who won it.
This is the commercial side of the
contest, but there is still another side
to the event. 1t is the side which
shows the gameness of the men who
made the fight against time.
It was the fourth attempt made by
Tony Nichols and his crew to capture
the honor. The first trip to Los Ange-
les and the ride back was disastrous
on account of tire trouble. They were
away ahead of schedule time in both
cases when they had to give up on
account of their supply of tires giving
out. In the car on these two trips

twenty-five miles an hour at the time.
1t went off the road and into the fence,
where it stopped. 1t was found that
the thimble pin had crystalhzed. They
all got out except Fowler. who could
not move, and surveyed the wreck. 1t
looked hopeless. Tony went to the
tool case to get out the jack and saw
a tire iron. It was found that the iron
would almost fit the knuckle. After
filing for almost three hours the car
was in shape to move The knuckle
had only one set of ball bearings. the
other being lost in the dust of the
road
1t was a shaky proposition and Tony
asked the rest If they were willing to
take the chance. They were all with
him and he opened her up, not know
ing what moment the tire iron might
give way and send them all to eternity.
Shortly after Fowlers foot commenced
to swell and he was in frightful pain
as the car bounced over the road He
would not give up and it was not un-
