Sprinting on the Street.

Inc fastest 10 II race, or exhibition OF
sprinting tor a distance of four blocks
ever witnessed in Idaho Springs, took
place one evening this week The
speedway was a dark avenue, aud the
perlcrmer, who made even time or better
prefers not to have his name mentioned.
The reason for the mad dash is SAID to
have been an lrate husband who careless
ly held large revolver and threatened
TO blow the block off of the man who
subsequently made the record sprint.
The cause Of the episode was the wife
of the man behind the gun. l, is claimed
that the woman spent much time IN the
company Of the dashing individual but
that she has promised not to associate
with the fast man any more. The hus-
band, it is said still packs the revolver
in hip pocket and swears that be will
bore holes in the hide of the spriuter. il

Not Dead-Yct.

Although this paper takes great
pride in the accuracy of the
news items appearing in these columns,
errors will happen once in a while, and
we do not lay claim to infallbility. Last
week we reported the death in Cincin-
natl, Ohio, of DR.. William Muhlberg,
formerly located in this city. Our in
the largest mercantile establishments,
who informed us that he had just re.
lreceived the news in letter
from the east AS usual we endeavored
I to obtain the exact date and cause Of
the doctors death, but could get no fur
ther details than possessed by our in
formant, This week DR.. Morehouse re-
sceived letter from DR.. Muhlberg, who
4had not vet been informed of his report
1 ed demise. The doctor, we are more
than pleased to state, is enjoying good
health, and is likely will visit in this
|city the coming summer Doctors some
times make mistakes but they bury them
and we are surethat DR.. Muhlberg will
forgive US, hut the readers of this paper
can blame the most prominent mer-
chants in Idaho Springs as being the
cause of our false report.
Zhe Doctor takes exceptions to this
payer thus shutting him off uncerimoni-
ausly in the following letter:
CINc1NNATI, O., June II, 'o7.
NV Dear Mr.. Mallalieu:-
Was 1t not Mark Twain who said, 1.-The
reports OF my death are greatly exagge-
rated?'
Up to the present writing I am still
able to sit ur and take notice, and my
wife declares that / respond to the din
ner bell with batting average of about
.45o,
Hope you will correct this little error
in your excellent News" because it
may unnecessarily worry those many
tried and true Idaho Springs friends
who, every now and then. send me their
love and prospectuses.
You may be interested in knowing
that recently have been appointed one
of the Medical Directors Of the Union
Central Life Insurance company. l tell
you this merely to convince you that
can't be a dead one"
will assume all responsibility of any
cataclysm that may follow the correction
of the report and until the rumor is true,
shall continue to sing the praises OF
Idaho Springs and to subscribe faithfully
for the News"
Very cordially yours,

Boosts for Idaho Springs

At the banquet in Fort Collins last
evening following the session of the Col
orado Bankers association, President F.
l.. Regennitter, of the Clear Greek and
Gilpin Trust company, of this city, re
sponded to the toast The Man Who Can
say No. In his remarks, and pertinent
to his subject, Mr.. Reggenit,er suggested
Idaho Springs as the most desira Die citv
IN the state for the association to hold it's
next annual meeting. The claims adj
vananced by him that the weather here
was uniformly cool at this season of the
year, impressed the delegates, as the
weather at Fort Collins was disapreesb1v
hot. The selection OF the next meeting
place is usually made by a committee
and it is thought that the suggestion by
Mr.. Regennitter will be favorabiv con
sidered by ITEM. In any event the
mention of this city and its central loca-
ton and ability to properly entertain the
convention should at leas, pave the way
for Idaho Springs to obtain the conven-
ton couple Of years hence.
