Young Boiler Maker browns While
Bathing in TrcuChcrous
Gunnison River.

John Walkenshaw, aged 26 years
unmarried and a boilermaker by
trade. met death by drowning yester-
day afternoon about three o'clock In
the Gunnison river at a point mid
way between the bridge and the
pump house.
Walkenshaw. II. Il. May and an
other young man We're enjoying a
swim in the cool water of the river
Walkenshaw and May had each sue
ceeded in swimming across the river
twice and IT was when the third at
tempt to cross was made that Walk
enshaw was seen to sink beneath the
waters. Mr.. May who was ON the
other side of the river when his COM
panion sank from sight did not make
an attempt to swim the river but
ran to the bridge and crossed to the
other side, thinking that his compau-
ion might have landed some distance
down the river he ran down the bank
but although a dilligent search was
made no trace of him could be found.
May hastily dressed himself and came
up town, stopping at the round house
long enough to let them know of the
fate that had avertaken Walkeu-
shaw.
The boilermakers at once got busy
and soon had boats and a fish net on
the river bank near where the body
of the unfortunate man was last seen.
The net was stretched across the
river, dynamite was secured and eN-
ploded in large quantities on the riv-
er bark, but at a late hour today the
body has not been found
a. Walkenshaw, the father of the
dead MIN arrived in the city this
morning, having been notified at his
home in Salt Lake yesterday after
noon of the deplorable happening.
Every effort has been made today
to get some trace of the body. the
river bank being searched and
closely watched for any signs of it,
A large crowd was attracted to the
scene of the accident and all day
there has been a ceaseless stream
of people going to and, from the
river.
The exact cause of the young
mans death Is thought to have been
a cramp which suddenly siezed him,
and before he could reach the shore
his legs and arms became useless
and he could not do otherwise than
sink
The body may have noated down
the stream for miles but in the opin-
ion of a number of old timers the
body will be found a short distance
from where it disappeared. as that
has been the case in number Of
instances by drowning heretofore 1t
is not thought that dynamite ex-
plosions viii result in raising the
body until after it has been in the
water at least iS hours which will
allow enough time for gases to form
inside the body.

from the fire started in the Colorado
and Southern depot. The carload of
dynamite that exploded was on the
Colorado and Northwestern tracks
and was being handled by the Colo
RADIO and Northwestern railway and
the C. & S. had nothing to do with il.
The Colorado and Northwestern is
in the hands of a receiver and IT
would be almost impossible to secure
damage even if it were proved that
the officials of that road were neg
ligent in leaving n carload of nitro
glycerine in the heart of the city, On
the other hand there is no ordinance
or law which prevents a railroad
from leaving dynamite wherever It
pleases but the only chance for dam
ages would be in case it would be
proved that the fire resulted from
negligence on the part of the Colora-
do and Southern employees. Consid-
cradle criticism is being directed at
both the Colorado and Southern and
the Colrado and Northwestern for
not maintaining a watchman in their
yards during the time of a strike. AL
though the strike has been on almost
two weeks and the number of min
or incendiary matters had been
brought to tds attention of both roads
neither road made any attempt to
secure the services of night watch
man.
The resident section near the scene
of the explosion and the entire bust
ness section has a dilapidated ap-
pearance. The windows are all out
and the openings are filled with
boards 1t will be weeks before
all of the windows have been replac-
Ell because there is not enough plate
glass in Colorado to supply the am
cunt needed by Boulder alone.
An idea of the force of the explos-
.0n can be gained from the fact that
d. X. SteiuDerg, living two aud
one half miles northwest of this city
found a piece of burnt timber four
feet long and four by six inches in
size in his barn lot. The piece of
timber was from the car in which
the dynamite exploded.

A strenuous law has just gone in
to effect in Iowa which it is hoped
will do away with some of the destl-
tuition, desertion and unhappiness in
the homes of the state, and ite eff
ect will be watched with interest by
the law makers of other states. 1t
is in substance that the man who
wilfully deserts a wife and children
leaving them in want may be sent to
the penitentiary, and the law also ap-
plies to a mother who deserts her
children under sixteen years of age.
This will also have a tendency to do
away with some of the grounds of di-
vorce. Either parent on conviction
can avoid the punishment by giving
bond in the sum of $1,000 to remain
at home and perform the proper dut-
les of their position.

A JUST|F|ABLE DELAY
so SUPT. NEFF ASSERTS
Tells Board of Works That His Com
pany is Using the Utmost Care in
Preparing Plans and Specifications
for Viaducts.

The Board OF Public Works has
been assured by superintendent Neff.
of the Richmond division of the Penn
sylvania railroad, that the plans and
specifications and estimates as to the
cost of the West Second Street via
ducts, still in the hands of the general
officers at Pittsburg, are being drawn
with care and the apparent delay on
the part of the railroad officials is a
justifiable one. as basing OF the esti-
mates involved great amount of pre-
liminary work.
The members of the board were IN
West Richmond Saturday afternoon
viewing the site of the proposed via
ducts and getting a line on the work
that would have to be done and the
estimated cost of the same.
1t is probable that the railroad of
ficials will forward their estimates as
to the cost of the entire construction
to the board within the next two
weeks, and the members expect, or at
least hope, this will be the case.
