miles by n whirling. shrieking storm
cioud. deposited In strangers yard,
tnere found. nursed into life and finally
discovering thousand miles away the
real parents from whom as a babe he
was separated eighteen years before.
ihere you have the remarkable tale
Of Charles Bennett. Was ever a story
stranger?
Bennetts parents lived In Harrison
county Missouri Old settlers there
well remember that fatal cyclone which
swept over the county eighteen years
ago. 1t left ruin and disaster In its
wake.
When the storm struck the Bennett
cottage 1t literally tore the house to
flinders. The father and mother were
separated and the baby boy was picked
up by the storm cloud and let down in
the back yard of T. w. Hudson. a far
mer. who was getting ready TO move
for Louisiana.
Hudson took the youngster with him
to Louisiana. There he reared him as
his own. And II was not until the sup
posed father and son quarreled the
other day that Hudson told Bennett
the remarkable story of his life.
Bennett set forth to find himself. AT
little town in Harrison county he dis
covered clew to his parents. There
an old settler named Hank" Barnes
told him the story. He discovered soon
after a sister. Mrs. Benjamin Richard
son. at Vallisca, and brother in Fair
Held, Nebraska. The mother. who has
long mourned the son as dead. Is In
California, and thither the victim oi
the cyclone will betake himself.

the most representative delegations
ever sent out from Grand Junction let
over the Colorado Midland in a special
car Monday for Greeley to attend the
annual meeting of the Colorado Com
mercial Association The local delega-
ton will wage vigorous campaign to

of the car streamers were strung with
the inscription 'Grand Valley Special
to the Greeley Convention" In addt-
tion to these each of the delegates
wore a neat ribbon streamer badge.
on which appeared in red letters, The
Grand Valley never falls"

Trinidad. Colo.-"Cherokee Bill"
whose correct name is William Smith,
4 one-time notorious outlaw in south.
ern Colorado, has just been released
from the Leavenworth prison and has
returned to the scene of his early ad-
ventures. Cherokee Bill served four
years for the robbery OF a postoffice at

NO END NEAR, SAY STRIKERS.
Telesraphers Still Out and Both Sides
Confident Of Victory.

Chicago.-Important developments
in the strike of commercial telegra-
piers are looked for soon by both dis
putants.
Confident that the strike has spent
its force and that the turning point has
been reached, the telegraph companies
look for a stampede of the strikers to
regain their former positions.
Cheered by the reports they have re-
ceived from the various cities affected,
the strikers. on the other hand, are
prepared to prosecute the strike more
vigorously than ever.
According to advices received at
cities affected upton headquarters the
messenger boys and check clerks in
New York are scheduled to go out.
Three hundred operators employed
by the American Telephone & Tele-
graph Company throughout the South
west may be called out unless a ten
per cent. increase in wages is granted.
That is one of the trump cards which
President Small expects to play. II the
order is issued 1t will isolate Chicago
telephone communication is con-
cerned.
A representative OF the company
was surprised to hear of the contem-
plated strike and said he understood
the entire matter has been settled by
officials in New York.
He declared he understood the set
tlement applied to the operators en-
ployed by the company throughout the
entire country, as well as in the Chi
cago office.
Another report is the contemplated
plan of the strike leader to call out the
cable operators, which would isolate
America from the rest of the world,
but It is admitted that this coup is not
likely to materialize.
The strike leaders themselves doubt
their ability to tie up the cable service
at the most important points.
The board of directors Of the Associ-
ated Press will meet in New York,
when 1t is expected that terms of set.
tlement will be discussed. General
Manager Stone has asked for a confer.
ence with the former employees of the
association on the eastern circuits, but
the men have been advised by Presi.
dent Small to make no settlement that
does not include all the operators Of
the company.

forth that California Is the Mecca OF

"Coloraao has more resources than
Californlans ever credited their state

that California has that Colorado has

work OF the Colorado State CONNER

have greater era of prosperity than
