TWO COLORED GENTLEMEN
FINED FOR GAMBLING

For some time past the officers of
the Portland Cement company at Port
land in this county have complained
that negro gamblers from Pueblo visit
that village on pay day for the pur-
pose Of fllching the colored employees
of that institution out of their hard
earned wages, and the authorities here
asked to put a stop to the practice.
In pursuance of that request Sheriff
Esser and several deputies raided the
gambling resorts at Portland Satur-
day night and caught three colored
gentlemen in the official drag net. One
OF them, William Cross, 1t was ascer-
tained, was wanted in Pueblo for bur-
glary and he was turned over to the

O'Clock this morning Just as the ami

beyond measure. 1t gave two or three
lunges in an effort to break away from
the other horse and fell dead in the

BACK FROM FIVE HUNDRED
NILE AUTOMOBILE TRIP

DR.. and Mrs. J. G. Maxwell returned
to Canon City on Sunday from a two
weeks camping and fishing outing on
Bear creek. northwest Of Denver. They
made the trip by automobile and trav-
eled altogether about five hundred
miles. The roads in the vicinity Of
Denver were found to be very good
and they had no trouble whatever with
their machine. Fishing was poor and
their luck bad in that respect, other
wise the trip was a pronounced sue
cess. They visited no fewer than ten
towns and came home via Colorado
Springs and Beaver creek.

ROANOKE PASSENGER TELLS
OF HAVOC AND DISTRESS

Oakland, Cal, July 23.-P. c. Walk
er, passenger on the steamer Roam
oke, which arrived yesterday from
Portland, told In an interview OF the
havoc and the scenes OF distress after
the collision of the vessels. He said:
THE Roanoke was bound south and
at noon Sunday we reached the scene
of the collision which had occurred be-
tween the steamers San Pedro and
Columbia on the previous midnight
THE surface OF the sea all around
the scene Of the collision was strewn
with the wreckage OF the lost vessel
and the deck houses Of the San Pedro
and the deck load OF lumber she was
carrying at the time OF the collision.
THE San Pedro's after mast had
been broken on even with the smoke
stack. She was badly listed and so
low down at the stern that the sea
swept the after deck.
while we drifted across the bows
Of the Elder, several Of the crew Of
the San Pedro and the Columbia who
had been rescued by the Elder, re-
quested us to report to their families
that they were safe; but l could make
out onl yone name. namely Kavanaugh
who l think was an ofhcer Of thee lost
steamship and resident of 1873 Broad
way.
I'VE noticed the shipwrecked pas
sengers of the Columbia on the deck
of the Elder, clothed in table cloths
and other temporary covering, and
large bier on the upper deck on which
the bodies recovered from the sea
were piled and covered with an Ameri-
can flag.
"As the Roanoke could be Of no
service, she resumed her course south
ward.
after we had proceeded several
miles from the scene OF the wreck, we
sighted two life RATS and two boats:
neither had any living thing aboard.
Everything about the scene Of the
disaster and the condition Of the San
Pedro indicated that the San Pedro
had struck the Columbia squarely
amidships and the San Pedro's stem
had suffered no damage, while the
sea was Uttered with the wreckage Of
the lower cabins OF the foundered
steamer.
mo effort was made to transfer any
Of the survivors OF the disaster from
the RATS Of the Elder to the Roanoke.
I'VE presumed that the Elder would
carry the living and dead and tow the
water logged San Pedro to Humboldt
Bay.
"The Roanoke has a full list Of pas
sengers and the dreadful experience
witnessed OF Shelter Cove unstrung
the nerves Of all OF us.
Many remained on deck all night
last night and everybody deserted the
cabins as soon as the vessel entered
tho fog belt and began sounding the
fog signals"

EXCURSION TO THE ROYAL
GORGE PLEASANT AFFAIR

The Denver & Rio Grande excursion
to the Hanging bridge in the Royal
Gorge for the benefit of the Chautau-
qua visitors this afternoon was gen.
erously patronized and was a very
pleasant affair. The train left here
at 1890 and returned an hour and a
half later, affording passengers an
ample opportunity for witnessing some
of the most beautiful scenery of the
famous canon. The extraordinary
heat prevented many people from go
ing that would otherwise have made
the trip. Something over one hun
dred tickets were sold.

VALUABLE HORSE BELIEVED

reported to Sheriff Esser this morning
that his horse mysteriously disappear

that he could only account for it on
the theory that 1t had been stolen.
The horse in question is a valuable
one, the owner having refused two
hundred dollars for 1t a few days ago,
and how 1t could have gotten away
unless 1t was stolen, is difficult of
explanation. Considering 1t possible
that the animal might have gotten out
