La Junta tribune., 1906-11-10
Fortnightiy Club.

The ladies of the Fortnightly
Club held their regular meeting
Saturday afternoon. November Sd.
in the chapel of the Presbyterian
church. The subject for the after
noon was. 'Civics in La Junta."
therefore the Woman's Club was in
vited to join in discussion which was
felt to be Of interest to all.
Mrs. Bomgardner read a splendid
paper on Civic Art in La Junta,"
in which she suggested many i'm
provements which would greatly
beautify our city and render it
more attractive to the citizen and
the stranger passing by. Among
them was the parking of our streets
and our attention was called to the
unsightly condition of our cemetery.
1t seems pity when we have so
many choice locations near our city
where the drainage could be i'm
proved and the cemetery rendered
beautiful by being properly laid out
and irrigated, thus becoming credit
to our city.
The paper was enthusiastically re-
ceived and discussed by members of
both clubs. A committee of three
from the Fortnightly Club was ap-
pointed to confer with a like COM
mittee from the Woman's Club and
as joint body ask for a committee
from the Board of Trade to con-
fer and consider the matter of a
cemetery association.
A paper on Sanitation" was read
by Mrs. DR.. Stubs. The microbes
will get you if you don't look out.
and when she said a microbe would
multiply one and half million times
in twenty-four hours, it certainly
made them feel that they would
have to look out. She spoke about
the cleanliness of our homes, and
how the houses should be built to
receive the best sanitary conditions
and should also be built farther
apart, and many other interesting
Suggestions. She spoke of the pure
food law. which came to US so forci-
bly, through the meat inspection so
close to our doors, also that the
dairy is place the citizens should
closely watch. Then again tubercu-
losis, where those infected with the
dreadful white plague come to our
city for refuge, and there is no place
for them to stay. and hardly place
for them to pitch their tents. how
this will Re greatly helped by the
Mennonite Sanitarium built pur-
posely for them. These papers were
full of good thoughts and sugges-
tions, which our city would do well
to look into.
Mrs. McCune read an interesting
paper on London" continuing the
trend of thought by telling of the
beautiful streets and parks, how
they are kept up. and many inter-
esting features. A general discus
sion followed each paper, and made
the afternoon one of the most inter-
esting and instructive meetings ever
held in the city.

ESCAPE AND REcAPTURE.
Dash for Liberty from Buena Vista Re-
formatory

Buena Vista, Colo.-The most dar-
ing and reckless attempt at escape in
the history of the Colorado State Re-
formatory, located a mile east of this
city, occurred Sunday. A running gun
fight of five miles resulted in the kill
ing of both bloodhounds and the ulti
mate capture of the escaping convicts
by Guards Taylor and Tyler at Cotton
wood Hot Springs, five miles west of
here.
The getaway was planned and exc
cuted by Leslie Eastman and w. H.
Ryan. Owing to Eastham's familiar
ity with, the prison office, he knew that
arms were kept in the vault, the door
OF which he pried off, securing three
revolvers and supply of ammunition.
He donned the coat and hat of Book
keeper Charles Butler, left the office
and was Joined by Ryan, who is the
prison milkman, and together they left
the grounds.
One of the guards saw this from a
distance, but thought the bookkeeper
was accompanying Ryan somewhere.
AS soon as it was known the men
were escaping, the hounds were placed
on their trail and the guards followed.
Eastman was sentenced by Judge
Ben Lindsey in Denver several months
ago ana was sent 10 tnlS place Wholly
unaccompanied, arriving here after
dark and walking to the institution,
where he presented his papers. He has
acted as stenographer in the Office and
had evidently been planning his es-
cape for some time.
Ryan was sentenced from the Dis
trict Court here last January on a
charge of robbery committed in Salida.
The dogs were shot near the Cotton
wood Hot Springs hotel, five miles
west, and later, when the boys were
| overtaken. number of shots were ex-
changed between them and the guards.

FIGHTING SALTON SEA.
Southern Pacific Making Frantic e.
forts to Save Tracks.

Salton, Cal-Confronted with final
washout within the next six weeks by
the rapidly-advancing waters Of the
Salton sea, the Southern Pacific COM
pany is now making every effort pos
sible to turn the Colorado river back
into its old channel, which leads into
the Gulf of California.
Forty miles of the company's trans
continental line is affected.
Large gangs with teams and graders
have been sent to Pilot Knob. a few
miles this side of Yuma, and the con-
struction of nine-mile spur track
branching from the main line at Pilot
Knob, leading down through Mexico
and ending at the famous intake, has
been commenced. This track will be
used for the transportation of material
required to dam the food at the in
take.
The work OF checking the flow at
the intake, where the Colorado river
is rushing from its old channel into the
Salton sink. has been handicapped by
its isolation from the railroad. Ma
chinery and material needed to con-
struct the dam and headgates had to
be hauled nine miles by wagon, or
fioated down the Colorado from Yuma.
1t is proposed to run trainloads OF
rock from the quarries near Pilot Knob
and dump them into the intake. thus
constructing the dam which is in
tended to check the flow Of the river
into the Salton sea and turn 1t back
into the gulf. The opening to be
closed is over 400 feet wide and dam
OF a mile in length will be necessary.
With these transportation facilities,
those in charge of the work feel con.
fdent that they will be able to avoid
another move OF the Southern Pacifc's
tracks. The time. however. is short
to accomplish this feat.

Highwayman Wore Black Mask-Pas.
senger Tells Dramatic Story
Of the Robbery.

Fresno. Caf.-Charged with holding
up single-handed and robbing FIVE Yo-
semitic stages near Advance Saturday
night. Jack Sweet Of Grub gulch has
been arrested here and taken to Wa
wona for Identification, according to
reports just received here.
Sweet Is suspected of having held up
the Yosemite stage one year ago. No
arrest was then made because he came
forward with an alibi. Sweet owns a
small tract Of land at Grub gulch, in
the Sierras, and works as a laborer in
| the mines.
The sheriff's office at Madeira has
no official information concerning the
arrest and Sheriff Jones has not been
In communication with the Office since

day in pursuit of the bandit
News Of the orrest was brought here
by man named Graham from Ahwa-
nee and all depends upon the possibil-
ity of Identification which several
stage passengers say they are able to
furnish
The first authentic information was
received last night in Fresno when j.
F. Tibbett of Riverside, who with his
wife and Miss Amy Michelbacher had
come out OF the valley. The robbery
occurred six miles from the stopping
place at Advance on the Yosemite
side. At that place the road winds
around the side of hill and comes to
sudden point. At this point the rob-
ber stepped out and ordered w. A.
Palmer, the driver of the first stage,
to stop. The latter quickly complied.
The highwayman wore a black mask
and had sacks tied about his feet to
prevent the leaving of any telltale
tracks as a clue for pursuing posse.
He held in his right hand Winches-
ter. The man behind the mask and
gun ordered the passengers to alight.
The women screamed but the robber
emphasized his order and all quickly
got out Of the stage and lined up on
the road with their hands above their
heads. H. w. Elliott, from Hornitos,
was ordered to take the express box
from the stage.
While he was waiting for the other
stage to come up, the robber shot the
lock off the Wells-Fargo box and rifed
its contents. The bandit stopped the
other stages in the same way, lining
the passengers up and keeping them
covered with his gun.
When all the passengers, forty-fve
in number, were lined up the bandit,
with show of gaiety, selected a young
and pretty girl as his first assistant
and told her she was appointed col
lector. She hesitated a moment, then
went about the work. The girl did
not come up to the robbers require
ments. and he told her that she was a
poor highwayman, ordering her to
get into line and appointing man to
take her place. requiring him to search
the passengers.
An English woman and her daugh-
ter were in the party and when the
robber approached her she dropped in
the road in dead faint. He only
laughed as he searched her.
The bandits camp was found where
he cooked his meals and where he
burned his disguises after the robbery.
The officers found $50 which the rob-
ber overlooked in the express box
which he rified and $3.50 that tourists
had thrown into the brush.

INNOVATION IN COSMETICS
Cream Of Golden-Brown Used to
Lend the Appearance Of
Sunburn.

1--WE have become such an out-of-
door people," he said, that fine gold
brown sunburn is more highly priced
by US than the most delicate rose and
lily bloom.
with this idea in mind, I expert
mented till found harmless cream
that would give the effect perfectly of
a gold-brown sunburn, and that would
disappear gradually, in a week or two,
as real sunburn does.
Il put this cream on the market.
From the start 1t sold tremendously.
Men and women alike buy it. And 1t
is bought not only by the clerk or
stenographer, who never gets out in
the sun, but often by the rich idler,
whose life is altogether an open-air
one, since the latter very frequently
sunburns in an ugly way-an infiamed,
scarlet skin, blisters, peeling-and my
preparation changes all that, giving
him the only sunburn that is worth
while, the gold-brown one.
