Young NODE EVIDENTLY
DID 4 WHOLESALE BUSINESS

Florence. Aug. e.-Officer Furniss
has recovered the bedding that was
stolen from the Hadley barn on East
Fourth street two months ago and
which belonged to Charles Painter, a
ranchman in the mountains south
east of Florence. Painter came to
Florence and remained over night,
sleeping in the barn and awakening
early the next morning. Shortly after
he arose some one stole the bundle
of bedding. which was valued at $25.
because ii contained some of Painters
wearing apparel and one Navajo blan-
ket that was valued highly by its
owner.
The bedding was found laid fat on
the floor of an attic at the rear of
the boarding house at which Ray Mo-
die stopped. Since Modie was EN-
ployed by the Hadley Mercantile COM
pany at the time and since he was
the last man seen In the barn before
the bedding was missing. the theft is
laid at his back door. 1t is presumed
that he had the camping trip to the
Gunnison in view then.
This completes the list Of stolen
articles that has been handed into the
police officer. So far about 500 worth
Of groceries and other articles have
been recovered for the Hadley COM

CROWN GALL.

Most Of our fruit growers are IA
miliar with the orchard disease which
is known as crown gall. This occurs
on nearly all OF our orchard trees and
is most commonly found as q corky
and watry growth around the crown
OF the tree Just below the surface OF
the ground. ut these growths may
occur at any point on the roots and
sometimes upon the trunks above
ground.
Every experienced orchard man
knows OF the destructive nature OF
this disease under the conditions
which obtain in Colorado. II a tree il
badly Infected when planted. II is usu-
ally the case that It does not come
into full bearing. but simply makes a
slow, stunted growth. and usually
does not live more than seven years
from the time OF planting.
There Is no practical remedy for
such diseased trees and. moreover, II
is the worst kind Of folly to allow
one to be planted. as numerous OBJ
servations by many people go to show
that one diseased tree in an orchard
serves as a source OF Infection for
many healthy trees. This being the
case. proper inspection OF nursery
stock cannot be too strongly insisted
upon. 1t Is dificult enough. as It is,
to get trees to live where they have to
be shipped long distances and then be
exposed to our drying air and intense
sunshine upon being planted. But II
we find. in year or two. that a por-
ton OF the trees are infected. with
this disease, the loss is all the harder
to bear. But. strange to say. each
spring the inspectors have more or
less trouble with a few people who
do not care to have their stock in
spected.
This disease has never been consid-
cred injurious to apple trees in the
eastern states; and recently one OF
the workers OF the department of ag-
riculture has issued bulletin de-
scribing the results OF very careful
experiments which were conducted
near the vicinity OF st. Louis. These
results go to show that under the
conditions which exists there, the dis
ease does practically no harm. All
eastern men are. OF course. familiar
with thes experiments and. conse-
quently. think that our inspection is
not only foolish, but very unjust to
them.
The workers at Colorado ARri-
cultural College have been severely
censured by some Of these flrms for
the moral support they have given
some OF the county inspectors. Never

GE0RaE GILLETTE OF SOUTH
CANON LOST In MOUNTAINS

George Gillette, OF Grimm avenue,
South Canon, had an experience in
the mountains Sunday night that he
will not soon forget, and that some ac-
cident did not befall him Ii regarded
as remarkable by his friends. Mr..
Gillette, who is an old soldier, drove
out with party of friends on Sun
day on picnicking trip to Twelve
Mile park. Late in the afternoon Mr.
Gillette insisted on going up into the
mountains for a walk, despite the pro-
tests and objections of other MEM
bers Of the party who endeavored to
dissuade him from making the trip on
the plea that 1t was nearly supper
time.
He wandered away into the hills
about O'Clock, promising to return
In an hour. Failing to keep his agree
ment several men started out to look
for the missing man, but no trace Of
him could be found. Darkness coming
on soon afterwards the picnickers re-
turned to town where a searching
party was organized to go back and
locate the unfortunate man If pos
sible.
Provided with torches. ropes, ETC.,
four or five men went back to the
place where Mr. Gillette had last been
seen and began a thorough explora-
ton of the hills and gulches in the
vicinity.
About midnight one of the searchers
found Mr.. Gillette none the worse for
his adventure but mighty anxious to
get away from the lonesomeness Of
his surroundings.
Realizing the helplessness of his
situation until daylight came. Mr..
Gillette had laid down under the pro-
lection Of a large rock to wait until
morning. Mr. Gillette recently sus-
tanned a slight stroke of paralysis and
his friends feared that he might have
second attack and perish in the
mountains unattended and alone.

VISITING BROTHER SHE HAS
NOT SEEN FOR THIRTY YEARS

Mr.. and Mrs Jacob Nebgen, of Belle
vile, Illinois, are spending few days
in Canon City. as the guests of ]. J.
Schultz OF 303 Woodlawn avenue. Mr..
and Mrs. Nebgen recently visited
friends In Leadville and while there
the latter addressed a letter to Post
master Lewis inquiring whether he
knew anything about her brother. j.
]. Schultz, whom she thought lived
here, but whom she had not seen for
more than thirty years. Mr.. Lewis
turned the letter over to Mr.. Schultz,
who decided not to reply to it, but
to go Leadville instead and give his
sister a surprise.
A couple of days later Mr. Schultz
packed his grip and boarded the
train for Leadville and on his arrival
there went directly to the hotel where
Mr. and Mrs. Nebgen were stopping
and made himself known. The latter
having heard nothing from her letter
was in the act of writing to the police
here asking them II they knew any
thing of his whereabouts of her long
lost brother, but the unexpected ap-
pearance of Mr.. Schultz made its mail
ing unnecessary. The meeting be-
tween the sister and brother was a
very pleasant one as may be sur
missed, but it is easier of imagination
than description.
Although his wife and family were
In Los Angeles. California. Mr..
Schultz insisted on Mr.. and Mrs. Neb-
gen coming down to Canon City with
him for a few days visit before going
back to Illinois. He is doing everything
possible to make their stay here an
enjoyable one and their sojourn in
Canon City will, no doubt. be the most
interesting incident of their trip to
Colorado. Mr.. Nebgen is a newspaper
man and for many years has been To-
cal editor of the Belleville "Tageblat
