ASK FOR $1,000, 900.
Trustees of Presbyterian University
Expect Rich Members to En-
dow Denver Institution.

Denver.-The trustees OF the new
Westminster University have decided
to proceed at once to raise an income
bearing endowment fund of $l,OOO,OOO,
and in addition to this $5OO,OOO for
land, building and improvements, of
which half, $250,0O0, has already been
provided by the people OF Colorado.
Fifty thousand dollars OF the latter
fund will be provided at once for equip
ment, current expenses, repairs, ETC.,
of which $40, 900 is already in the treas
ury.
At a meeting OF the trustees at the
Office of the chairman, James ID. Hus-
ted, full plans were discussed for the
opening of the institution in September
of this year, and the Rev. Joseph Il.
Weaver, d. D., pastor of the First
PRESBYTERIAN Church of Pueblo. was
elected president Of the college.
He will not indicate his action upon
his election for the present, as he mas
the matter under advisement, and IN
the meanwhile James ID. Hustled, pres
ident of the board of trustees, Will con-
tinue to act with the executive COM
mittee in all the financial and business
plans.
There is the greatest enthusiasm
over the outlook for the new uniVer-
sity and assurances that have already
been had from prominent Prespyter-
ians and fnanciers over the country
make it certain that there vii be niue
difficulty in raising the million-dollar
endowment fund which the board OF
trustees has determined to secure TO

stockmen Refuse to lake Out Permit

attempt on the part of the forest ser
vice officials to force them to take ou
permits or pay grazing fees will be me,
with resistance. Any attempt to collec

Died With His Clothes on.

RADIO, when asked by his daughter il he
would like little whisky as stimu-
liant, smiled and asked: "Did you ever
know me to refuse such an Offer"
Then the old man drank bis whisky
and few minutes later died of heart
failure. He had been i'll long time.
Recently. believing that the end was
near, the cheerful pioneer refused to
remove his clothes day or night. He
wanted to die in full dress, a desire
somewhat akin to that of many West.
erners who insisted on dying with
their boots on. Death occurred last
week at the home of his daughter. Mrs.
D. L. Robinson, 917 Twelfth street.
Nearly two centuries ago Sir Charles
Bookins, a Scotch-Irish Catholic, set
tied with others of his faith in Mary
land. Mr.. AIKEN was the last of the
line, the name OF AIKEN having been
taken later. In every branch OF the
family one son was named Charles
Brookins, and recently Mr.. AIKEN was
notified that he was heir to a portion
of the Maryland estate descended
through the Brookins family. His
forefathers had been pioneers in every
state from Maryland to Illinois, and
when thirteen years old the deceased
accompanied his father across the
plains to Colorado and thence to Cal.
ifornia. That was in 1S49.
Passing through Colorado on this
trip, the father was favorably i'm.
pressed with the country. On their
return from California, where fortune
had favored them, they stopped few
miles north of Denver and laid out the
town of Boulder. Captain AIKEN cut
the first tree on the site of Boulder,
the stump of which is now historical
relic In the Boulder courthouse.
Charles AIKEN was born in ROCK
ford. Illinois, in 1896. At the age OF
eight years he moved with his family
into Missouri. On the return from
California, Captain AIKEN Influenced a
number Of settlers there to accompany
him, and the first pioneers from the
Missouri valley pushed westward to
Colorado.

Go to See Bio Chief.

Sheridan, Wyo.-The Crow Indians
have a grievance and a delegation of
chiefs, headed by Spotted Rabbit, Lone
Bear and Bad Heart, left the reserva-
ton and started for Washington to
have the matter adjusted by Roosevelt
Because they left without permission
of the agent, they were overhauled at
Sheridan by Agent Campbell and taken
back.
The trouble is over sheep. C. NJ.
Bare of Billings has a lease on the res
ervation and has crowded his stock
beyond the limits of the territory. The
Indians protested, and last week held
a council and raised $1,000 in cash for
a fund to sell delegation to Washing
ton.
They Travelled as far as Parkman by
wagon and horseback to throw the
Crow agent off the scent, but he caught
sight OF them here last evening and
the trains are being watched to head
off some others who eI e supposed TO be

ported by nothing, would be precipi-
tated into the deep gulch.
According to the railroad officials,
the cause of the accident has not been
determined, although it is believed to
rave been a defective rail, as sec
ion gang was employed repairing at
the exact spct where the mishap hap
pened. The last car of the train was
the first to leave the track and pulled
he others off one by one at time.
The most seriously injured are:

WAS 1T MURDER?
CANON CITY MINER MYSTERI-
OUSLY DISAPPEARS.
BROTHER WANTS VENGEANCE
Intimated Missing Man Might Be Held
in Mountain Fastness Await
Ing Offer of Ransom.

Colorado Springs, Colo.-Believing
that his brother is either the victim of
a foul murder or else is being held pris-
oner in some mountain. coniine and
made to suffer fate that is worse
than death, Robert Atkinson, mine
owner of Manhattan, Nevada,
well-known western character.
has come to Colorado City to
ferret out the secret of his brothers
mysterious disappearance nearly five
months ago from the mining camp of
Coaldale, near Canon City.
Christopher Atkinson, or Chris, as
he was known to the miners with
whom he worked, dropped out of sight
on the night of last November 9TH. and
has not been seen or heard of since.
All efforts of Robert Atkinson to To-
cate him have only served by devel-
oping chain of startling circum-
stances to strengthen the belief he has
held from the first his brother
was murdered and the body buried in
an out-of-the-way place that may for
ever hide him from human sight. So
certain is Robert Atkinson of this That,
according to his attorney, John r.
Watt of Colorado City, he has asked the
district attorneys Office at Canon
Slly W TAKE " SHlLdliSc VI 'hS 'eSN'
While an investigation was started
several weeks ago, it has not resulted
in any arrests being made. The dis
trict attorneys Office has taken the po-
sition that it cannot cause an arrest
to be made for murder unless the body
of the supposed gictim can be deliv-
cred. Accordingly Attorney Watt
mailed from Colorado City circular
letter to thirty-five sheriffs on the
western slope and in the immediate Vi
cinity of Canon City, asking them to
take up the investigation with view
to finding the body.
Motive for murder exists, according
to Attorney Watt There is supposed
to be woman in the case. and Atkin-
son is said to have had about $500 in
the bank at Aspen when he disap-
peared.
"His check for $3.50 in favor of a
Coaldale man was, we understand
cashed at Cotopaxi, Colorado, two days
after he disappeared" said Attorney
Watt. "This check. we are told, is
now in possession of the district at
torney at Canon City, and gives an i'm
portant clew in the mystery.
1t is also pointed out that the $bo
remaining to Atkinsons credit in the
Aspen bank after the check for s2oo
was cashed is still on deposit, and that
a check for something like $50 sent TO
him a few days after his disappearance
was returned to his employers.
