Father of Good Roads Dies.

Denver.-Samuel Huston, father of
the idea of national road to extend
from Galveston to Yellowstone park
of which the state road now being built
by the convicts near Trinidad is part,
is dead at Steubenville, Ohio.
Mr.. Huston is known far and wide
for the part he played in the good
roads movement. At the National
Good roads convention, called three
years ago by Mayor Speer, he acted
as president and made many friends
in Colorado during his stay. While
out here he interested the good roads
advocates of Colorado in his plan for
the national road and it was through
his efforts that the bill was passed in
the last Legislature appropriating
money for the building of road which
will extend from one limit of the state
to the other and will form a link in
the national road, should it ever be
built.

Will Pardon EgeIeston.

Washington-Jame B. Eggleston,
formerly of Denver, who was con-
victed in the United States Court for
Colorado of counterfeiting and SEN
fenced to ten years imprisonment in
the federal penitentiary at Leaven-
worth, is to be pardoned by President
Roosevelt.
Eggleston had served but short
time in the penitentiary when he was
reported insane and was transferred
to the government hospital for the in
sane in this city. where he is now
confined.
Eggleston is son of President Egg
gleston of the Pacific Express Com
pany. At the age of twenty he met
with an accident by which he lost his
right leg and sustained fracture of
the skull. This. it is said, rendered
him at periods morally irresponsible.
although he was unusually brilliant in
his studies. In Denver he practiced
medicine in partnership with a man
named Baker They became involved
in controversy which led to the dis
covery that Eggleston evidently was
equipped to manufacture counterfeit
bills and coin, for which he was tried
and convicted.
His pardon has been determined
upon by the President so that he may
be given treatment by specialists and
erred. if possible, of insanity and the
tendency to criminal practices.
