IT'S STARTLEING

New York. Jan. 5.-(Special) -
"Fifty-seven thousand. five hundred
persons are under sentence of death
in the United States. They are hour
ly awaiting their end, which may
come at any minute-which surely
will come before the year is out"
This alarming prophecy was made
by Rev. DR.. Josiah Strong, president
of the American Institute of Social
Service. in speaking of the many
casualties on American railroads.
DIR. Strong was discussing the lat
est appalling disaster-the wreck on
the Rock Island railroad at Alta Vil-a
Kan, in which more than thirty were
killed and forty injured.
'At the present rate" said DR..
Strong, "it may be expected thht
every week in the coming year under
present conditions over LOO per-
sons-you or l may be among the
number-will die by violence. 1t may
be in a railroad wreck, an elevator
accident. trolley car smash, explosion.
fire or any of the thousand and one
terrible forms that death may as
sumo. But 1t is coming.
THE practicable part of it all" !"
continued DR.. Strong, 'is that prob
ably three-fourths of the killings are
unnecessary -avoidable. This Amer
lean Institute of Social Service hopes
partially to succeed in establishing
a museum of security"

MISS GALLATIN HERE.

1t was nearly eleven o'clock last
night when No. 6 came in from the
west bringing Miss Alberta Gallatin
and company, whose non-appearance
at the Park opera house as result
of the delayed train was such a deep
disappointment to many people.
Instead of going on through to
Leadville the company stopped over
in this city and spent the night at the
hotels. They left this morning on
No. 4.
While waiting for the train this
morning Miss Gallatin purchased a
large assortment of Indian feathers.
hoods and other Indian relics which
she noticed in a newly opened sec
ond hand store. She Is making col
lection of such relics and seemed
delighted with her new find. The rel
les had recently been secured from
one of the reservations.
Miss Gallatin expressed her regret
over having to disappoint the many
hundreds of people who anticipated
seeing her last night.
Several excellent attractions have
failed to get here as result of the
beastly train service from the west,
this season, but forced cancellation of
the engagement of this charming act
ress caused more genuine disappoint-
ment than the cancellation of any OF
the other attractions.

HERE'S A HERO

Denver. Jan. (SpeciaD Only
one member of the legislature has
thus far come forward as a Spartan
hero and announced that he will not
accept a railroad pass.
He is Representative KEN. of Pu-
eblo. who when Otto Mears left on
his desk an envelope containing free
transportation on the Silverton rail-
road lines, most of which are at pres
ent reposing under huge snow banks.
he refused to take them.
In refusing the pass Mr.. KEN stat
ed that he had been offered trans
portation by other lines all of which
he had refused.
1t is an annual custom for the rail-
road companies to supply members of
the legislature with passes and the
members have added to their perqul-
sites by collecting mileage from the
state while using passes. In spite of
any amount of railroad legislation
that may come before the legislature
this session this passcustom will be
continued, and as far as known prac-
tieally every member win ride on

A LARGE MERGER
MADE IN THE CITY
THREE COMPANIES MAY JOIN
The Grand Junction Electric and Gas Co., the Citizens
Gas and Coke Co. and the Grand Junction Ice
Company Preparing to Consolidate.

to enlarge the plant of the Grand
Junction Ice Il Storage company and
so operate that plant that it will be
furnished power by the plant of the
Electric lighting company.
Ii Is said that all the members of
the Citizens Gas and Coke company
will retain their present interest, re-
ceiving in lieu therefor the stock of
the new organization.
The Grand Junction Electric and
Gas company recently obtained an
extension of their franchise to do
business in this city for period of
twenty five years. II was argued that
both the gas and electric light COM
panies would be compelled TO add TO
their plants the one gas and the other
electricity, therefore the most eco
noLnical plan would be to merge all
interests and save the cost in operat-
ing expenses.
IL is said that n saving of not less
than $4,000 in management, fuel and
contingent expenses could be saved
to the three companies by placing
them all under one management.

HELD ON SUSPICION.

Yesterday Omcer Ramsey at the
union depot, arrested four hard look
ing characters in the railroad yards
and lodged them in the city jail to
await investigation. Last night at a
hearing before Judge sweeney three of
the men were released and told to get
to work of leave town while the
fourth man was held on suspicion.
Officer Ramsey is inclined to think
that this fellow has a bad record. He
associates him with the description of
a much wanted criminal sent to the
officers in this city some time ago.
While inquiries and Investigations
are being made this man will be held
in the city jail. His actions in the
railroad yards lead Officer Ramsey to
suspect him. He with these other
three men were cooking their meals
over a camp fire and lodging at night
wherever they could. The man who is
held had a ticket for some point on
the Montrose line which he allowed
to runout, while loafing around the
Yards with his three companions.
Mr.. Ramsey thinks it possible that
these men have been implicated with
the Lace boys and Mcclure boy in
the thefts charged to the boys. Very
often IL is found that hoboes and
hard characters put boys up to steal
ing for their benefit.
