neetinq of Town Council

The town council met last Monday
evening in regular monthly session,
Mayor Schwarz in the chair. After
the minutes and reports of officers had
been read Sidney Broughton and
others petitioned for a sidewalk along
the east side of Minter avenue which
request was granted.
1t was stated that Trustee Lucas,
who was absent. had the papers in re-
gard to the application of the Garfield
County Telephone company for fran
chise and on motion action on the
matter was postponed.
The bill of 300 for the base ball
club for August was allowed this be-
ing the last payment to be made to
the club for the season.
The Glenwood band presented a
bill of $50 for services on trip to
Aspen. This brought out some dis
cussion when it was found the band
would go over the Rio Grande road
Trustee Heisler thought the Midland
should have part of the business. Mr..
Keck said he did not object to the
band going by the Rio Grande. The
bill was allowed and a committee ap-
pointed to confer with the school
board as to division of the patron
age.
The contract for sprinkling the
streets having expired. the marshal
was authorized to hire the work done
by the day for the balance of the sea
son.
1t was said that the town engineer
had exceeded his authority in the
matter of some correspondence about
the new sewer and the trustees freely
criticised his action. MIR. Rosenberg
was not present to defend his actions
but the board seemed determined to
see to it that, in the future, matters
involving legal questions should be
handled by the town attorney.

TRI-COUNTY FAIR

Accompanied by Band
SUCCESS IN SPITE OF THE STORM

Whatever the Aspen people may
heretofore have said about Glenwood s
stay at home proclivities, this accuse
tion could not be made last Thursday
for our people in liberal numbers WIS.,
tied the great silver camp to attend
the Tri County fair. The schools were
dismissed and the children to the
number of about 200, banished all
thoughts of studies and under the
chaperonage OF parents and teachers,
boarded the Rio Grande special train
and set out for days fun at Aspen.
Many who had intended to make
after learning of the disagreeable
weather at Aspen, for before the trail
had left the station it became known
to some that the Aspenites we1e wad
ing in four inches of snow with the
''beautiful' still descending at a
lively rate
Nevertheless the delegation from
Glenwood was decidedly creditable
and when we take into consideration
the great number who would have
gone but for the threatening weather,
no apologies are necessary for the
showing made by Garfield county.
The following account of the fair is
given by the Aspen Democrat:
People deeply interested in the
success of the Tri County fair, and
that means all our people and many
hundreds of visitor, were decidedly
gloomy over the weather prospects
yesterday morning and up to / o clock
yesterday afternoon. Yesterday morn
ing the ground was covered with snow
and the sky threatened to pour down
more of the unwelcome precipitation.
But as the hour for opening arrived
the sun gradually peeped out the
snow disappeared and the afternoon
was fairly pleasant if not all that could
have been wished
The management was not disap
pointed in their expectations of the
biggest gathering of people ever seen
at the driving park. Ten coaches ar.
rived during the morning hours,
bringing approximately a Thousand
people from down the valley, Glen
wood sending several hundred, with
Carbondale, Redstone, New Castle and
other points well represented. Glen
woods band, an excellent organiza
tion of musicians, accompanied the
visitors, and furnished some excellent
entertainment at the grounds during
the afternoon and down town in the
evening.

FOUND GUILTY AND MUST HANG

Wednesday of last week George
McGarvey, a trusty in the Mesa coun-
ty Jail, brutally assaulted Jailer Ed
Innes with club and seizing Innes
gun made his escape. The other pris-
oners in the Jail witnessed the brutal
assault but We're powerless to interfere
for McGarvey threatened to blow their
heads off if they dared give the alarm.
However the prisoners realizing
the dangerous condition of the iailer,
called l~udly for help and soon at
tracted passersby who called the sher
iff. The assaulted man was given ev-
cry attention but died the ne>t day.
McGarvey had been prisoner since
last April, charged with criminally as
saulting little giIl. His trial for
that crime would have been held this
month. His demeanor had been good
while in the Jail and he was allowed
the freedom of the corridors Innes
was standing in the corridor at the
time watching the prisoners in cell
play cards, when McGarvey stealthily
approached, beating him over the head
with a club.
Sheriff Struthers at once made ev.
cry possible effort to apprehend the
assailant of his jailer Bloodhounds
were secured and they tracked the
fellow to a big pile of lime where
they lost the scent and were not able
to pick it up again.
Nothing more was heard of McGar
vey until Sunday morning when he
walked up to the ranch home of VIM.
Mcdowell near Debeque and asked for
breakfast- Mcdowell recognized him
as the much wanted criminal and
drew shotgun on McGarvey who
would have used the revolver he took
from Innes but Mcdowell was too
quick for him and brought his prls-
oner to Debeque where he was met by
Sheriff Struthers who brought him to
