One of the most thrilling escapes
ever made by prisoner In this county
took place in the Royal Gorge shortly
after o'clock Monday a. m. when Geo.
H. Grenell, alias Jas. L. Burner, who
was being brought to the penitentiary
by Sheriff c. C. Hudson OF ouray. to
serve an indeterminate sentence OF
from three to five years for grand lar
ceny, jumped from Denver and Rio
Grande passenger train No. 16. and
took to the hills in an EFFORT to evade
the punishment prescribed by law for
his offense.
Shortly after the train left Parkdale
the prisoner asked permission to go
to the toilet room. which was granted
by the sheriff, who also removed the
handouts from Grinell's wrists. Fall
ing to return to his seat the officer be-
came uneasy about his prisoner and
went in search Of him, but found the
door locked. II was necessary to hnd
the porter In order to get key TO open
the door. and when access to the toilet
Was finally obtained the room was
empty, Grinell having made his get
away by jumping out Of the window.
A. soon as the train reached here
Sheriff Hobson telegraphed the agents
at Parkdale. Texas Creek. Howard and
Salida. advising them Of Grenelis es-
cape and offering a reward Of twenty
I'VE dollars for his apprehension. Later
he routed Under Sheriff John Chete-
lat out OF bed and together the two Of

that they might procure sohe informa-

Frank Saleh, of Florence, subject
Of Abdul Hamid of Turkey, wants to be
a citizen of the United States.
So strong is his desire to throw off
the yoke of the "sick man" and enroll
as a follower of the Star Spangled
Banner that he risked his life in YER
.itible hell of fire to rescue his burning
citizenship papers. But he saved
enough of the valuable documents to
save him many months of waiting, and
next April he will be a full fiedged
American.
The story of Saleh's struggle for the
right of franchise came out in the
clerks office in District court yester-
day, when Saleh, with his pretty wife
and baby and a reputable witness
came before Clerk A. Fl. White. Saleh
carefully took a budget of papers
from his bosom and from among them
selected a half burned document of
official appearance.

OF the missing convict They were
unable to secure any trace OF him and
decided to return here and wait until
daylight before doing anything further
In the matter.
1t was the intention of Sheriff Hob
son to get an early freight train out OF
here this morning and go to Salida, at
which point he expected to get some
clue to Grinell's whereabouts. This,
however, was not necessary as the
character OF the convicts Injuries were
such that he had to apply for assist
ance and that fact led to his undoing.
About 4 O'Clock he walked into the
station at Parkdale and sat down His
head was bleeding and his general ap-
pearance was that of man who had
undergone some unusual adventure,
creating suspicion on the part OF
Dan Davis, the night operator. that his
visitor was the man that had jumped
on the train in the Royal Gorge and
for whose arrest a substantial reward
was offered. Convinced that he was
correct in his surmises Davis jumped
upon him and overpowered him, ueing
his hands and feet and holding him
prisoner until train No. 6 came along
about day light when he brought him
to Canon City and turned him over to
the penitentiary authorities.
In jumping from the train Grinell
cut one OF the smaller arteries OF the
head and he was greatly weakened In
consequence OF the loss OF blood, He
was also badly bruised about the face
and chest and was hardly conscious
OF his surroundings at the time OF his
capture. DR.. Carrier. the prison ply

BRONCHIAL COUGHS

People subject to bronchial troubles

will catch" bronchial cough, which
is very disagreeable, irritating and an
moving.
Bronchial troubles canot be cured
by stomach dosing. The medicated air
of Hy-o-mei is the only treatment that
reaches the affected parts and gives re-
lief and cure. 1t destroys all the dis
ease germs that are present In the
nose, throat and lungs, soothes and re-
fieves the irritated mucous membrane
in all parts of the bronchial tubes and
quickly overcomes the irritation.
Bronchitis is really an Inflammation
of the mucous membrane lining the air
passages and Is purely a local disease,
so that It needs a local treatment like
that afforded by Hy mel.
II there is any doubt IN your mind
as to the power of Hy-o-mei to cure
bronchial troubles so that the system
will resist coughs and colds, the I'M
