He describes them as a repetition of

DIVORCES CONVICT HUSBAND,

Denver, Nov. S.-When James A.
Warford gets out of the penitentiary,
if the new trial granted him by the
supreme court should result in freeing
him, he will find that his matrimonial
ties have been severed and he will have
no happy home to go to.
Warford was convicted of murder,
having participated in a shooting af-
fray at Cripple CreeF on election day,
1904. The case created a good deal of
comment on both sides. Thomas Brown,
man who participated in the shoot
ing, was recently pardoned by Governor
Buchtel, and it looks as though War
ford has good chance to get re
versal of judgment in the lower court.
Yet just as light begins to break in
upon him, his wife has procured a di-
vorce on the ground of desertion. "Mv
husband is in the penitentiary at Can
on City, said Mrs. Addic Warford in
the county court, " and l want di-
vorce.'
She testified that he had deserted
her before he was sentenced to the
penitentiary, and as her case was clear,
she got the decree.

ONCE A COWBOY
NOW A PREACHER.

Denver, Nov. ii. l.. Norvell, the
cowboy preacher" who at one time
was as wild character as ever carried
six shooter or rode n broncho, is a
guest at the Elk hotel. Mr.. Norvell
is now one of the largest cattle ship
pers on the Denver market. The re-
form of Norvell is quite a story.
He came West when but a small boy.
Just where he came from no one seems
to know. He obtained a position as
general roustabout for a big cattle out
fit on the western slope. AS he grew
older he grew tougher. He drank hard
and gambled harder. Everyone not
looking for trouble steered clear of Jim
Norvell. When there was anything
bad or dirty to be done he was the lad
to lead the movement.
When Jim was at his worst and at
the time his friends were predicting
the penitentiary, there came a change.
He "got religion His friends re-
fused at first to believe in the reforms.
ton and were of the opinion that he
was bent on some extraordinary mean
trick; but as time went by and he still
refused to drink, gamble or be "just
bad,' they believed him.
Norvell now each year leads reviv-
al in the "cow country" and gets re-
suits. He is known through western
Colorado as the cowboy" preacher.
He calls spade a spade and tells with
out reserve how bad he was at one
time and of his own reform.
He buys and sells cattle, and handles
large amounts of money. Everyone
who knows Norvell trusts him. He Is .
sane business man as well as a preacher.

WATER PLANT At
CARDIFF A MODEL

For the purpose of examining the
new water plant at Cardiff, Division
Engineer J. W. Dean of the Denver 4
Rio Grandc railway, Representative B.
7. Napier, Henry Hasley and J. r. De-
Remer made n trip to that town yes
terday. This journey was with view
to obtaining ideas for the construction
of water plant at silt.
AS the Cardiff plant is strictly up
todate and in fine working order, it
well pleased with the information they
CLEANED concerning the system.
In the afternoon they met with the
county commissioners and arranged for
right of way from the state bridge
to be constructed at Silt to the railroad
station at Silt. The right of way was
accepted by the commissioners, after
which a levy was made for Garfield
county's share of the expense to in
stall the bridge.
State Engineer Jaycox has advertised
for bids for the construction of the
bridge, which will be of steel. This is
the final settlement in connection with
the matter, and the bridge will be con-
structed before high water time-early
in March.
Messrs. Hasley and DeRemer say
that Engineer Trumbor has been en-
ployed to go to Silt and complete the
laying out of the town site. When this
is done the lots will be put on the mar
ket for sale. The townsite company
will at once make arrangements for
the construction of a neat and up-to-
date hotel.

TWO ASPHYX|A1ED IN TUNNEL

Leadville, Colo, Nov. THE dead

gases in the Busk-Ivanhoe tunnel last

to assist passenger train No. over the

POOR YOUNG MAN
WINS RICH BRIDE.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. A pretty ro-
nance of the poor young man, the
beautiful heiress, of parental objection
and final triumph for Cupid over all
difficulties, will have its elimination in
st. Paul's church tonight when Henry
A. Bogardus leads to the altar Miss
Marion Lavery, after five years of
most ardent courtship.
The bride-to.be is prominent in Chi
cago society and the daughter of veal
thy parents. At the beginning of the
romance five years ago Mr.. Bogardus
was bank clerk with a salary scarcely
large enough for two. There WASH t
much that could be urged against the
young man except his small salary, but
this appeared to be an insurmountable
obstacle in the eyes of the stern parent
in the romance.
The young man saw that if he re-
mained in the bank and progressed at
the rate he was then advancing he
he would be gray haired before he
could reach the income which the
young lady's father was likely to con
slider sufficient. Without hesitation he
threw up his place at the bank and ac-
cepted job with manufacturing con
cern at a smaller salary even than that
he had been receiving. But he figured
that the new place offered more chance
for advancement, and subsequent events
showed that he figured correctly, for in
four years time he became manager
of the concern.
The fact that he "made good, - comp
led with the steady devotion of the
young pair, soon overcame the parental
objection. The wedding took place in
the church where the two first became
acquainted five years ago, when Mr.
Bogardus was librarian in the church
and Miss Lavery teacher in one of
the Sunday school calsses.

Unless new trial is granted or the

pctted agent of scores of Colorado mil
lionares, a man who in his time has
handled a great deal more money than

ured prominently in one of the most
exciting chapters of the states mining
history, will soon be sentenced to the
penitentiary for stealing n few hun
drcd dollars from "A woman.
CalkinS, in the West side criminal
court, was found guilty of fraud by a
jury, and with bowed head received
the verdict which was the last straw
in an immense bale of misfortune.
Calltins was accused by Miss Gilmore
Helmer of Aspen, Colo, with having de
fraudcd her of $500, her entire savings,
on a partnership contract, through
which she hoped to better her financial
condition.
Miss Hclmer, backed by the district

her prosecution of the case and when

before they I'D decided that Calkins
was guilty.
