will Be a square Deal"

The following statement in refer
ence to the public lands convention
has been sent out by some one, pre-
sumably the executive committee and
is here printed in full:
The Public Lands convention in
Denver June lS19-2O, will be a
square deal to the administration,
notwithstanding fears expressed from
Washington to the contrary. The
convention was called by authority of
resolution adopted by a republican
legislature. 1t was called by repub.
lican governor and has been approved
officially by the governors of twelve
public land states in the west. Pres.
ident Roosevelt has been invited and
has promised to send one or two mem
bers of his cabinet and a number of
department heads. The questions to
be discussed have been openly an
nonnced and the discussion will be
full, free and open. There is no ques
tion but that the present policy of the
government in relation to the public
lands will be attacked. but the admin
istration will have every opportunity
to defend it and the action resulting
from the discussion will represent the
best judgment of the western people.
Reports indicate that there will be
between 500 and 1 200 delegates IN at
tendance. Every industrial or COM
mercisl organization in the states west
of the Missouri river, is entitled to
be represented with five delegates.
The governor of each state appoints
len delegates and all members of con
gress and United States senators are
delegates ex-officio. The railroads
announce low rates for those attend.

in the matter.

Swept Over ShOShORe falls

There was great excitement in
Glenwood when it was reported yes
terday morning that man had gone
over the rapids at the Shoshone falls
up the river, and Sheriff Zimmerman.
who was notified soon after the acci.
dent occurred, secured force of men
with graphing hooks and watched the
river from the GIenwood foot bridge.
The Central Colorado Power company
was arranging to build a cable way
across the liver just above the rapids
where they expect to build large
dam. 1t was necessary to stretch rope
across the river and with this pull
cable across.
1t was suggested that the matter
would be easy if two men could be
found to row boat across. Two of
the workmen, Max Donner AMI d W
Guy, volunteered to row the boat
across and carry the rope.
A guy rope was fastened to the boat
so that the men could be pulled
ashore in case of accident The men
stdrutl OuU anu were well toward
midstream and progressing nicely
when a log floating down the river
struck and capsized the boat and both
men were thrown into the water
Guy attempted to swim ashore but
his strength soon gave way and he
went over the rapids to his destruc.
tion in sight of his Mortified compan-
ions who were unable to render him
any assistance.
Bonner chung to the boat and was
pulled ashore by the workmen but
when about two feet from the bank
his hands apparently cramped, he lost
his hold and sank in the icy water
which carried him toward the rapids.
At this point Superintendent j F.
Klaner proved himself hero by
jumping into the water and rescuing
Donner and bringing him to shore.
The body of Guy lodged on an
island about mile below where be
fell in and up to the present time the
workmen have not been able to recov-
eer it on account CT the swift current.
Guy was about 80 years of ago and
had worked for the company bot
about q week. Efforts are being
made to find his relatives who live
somewhere In Kansas.
