TIE MIDLAND EMPLOYEES
TO CHANGE AT LEADvIIIE
Cloud City Is Made Division Point for
Passenger Conductors and the
Brakemen.-The Reasons.

A piece OF news Of particular In
terest to the railroad men Of Grand
Junction Is embodied I'm the an
nouncement that, beginning with
February 10, the division point for
the passenger service on the Colora-
do Midland will be in I.eadville.
Eight crews Will make their ternA-
nal changes there.
Glenwood Springs. Cardiff and Ba-
salt were after the division point,
but Leadville won easily.
The move Is made necessary by
the recent enactment of the federal
law, which makes it a misdemeanor
for railway companies to keep en-
ployes having charge of trains ON
duty longer than 16 hours, excepting
when they must work over that
length of time in case of accidents or
other unforeseen causes. For the
past six months the engine crews
have been changing In Leadville. and
many of the freight crews have been
having their terminals there for sew
eral years.
Heretofore the passenger conduc-
tors and brakemen have been run
ming the full length of the line, from
Colorado Springs to Grand Junction.
The regular schedule between these
two points provides for a 14-hour
run. and frequently when the trains
are late. the men were compelled to
remain on duty from 16 to 20 hours.
This will now be in violation of the
statutes. and in the future. with the
crews changing In Leadville. they
will be on duty only about s hours
at time.
Under the new arrangement the
stub crew between Leadville and Ar
kansas Junction will be dropped.
Four crews will work between Lead
Vile and Grand Junction and four
others will work between Leadville
and Colorado Springs.

A PLEA OF GUILTY
Entered by Both Men--Hum-

Bond Fixed at$l,O l,OOO--New
Details are Related.

This afternoon at 8 O'Clock Glen
Towry and John Hummel, charged
with attempting to hold up the Roy.
atty Club saloon, were arraigued be-
fore Justice J. p. Sweeney for prelim-
mary hearing.
The two prisoners were brought In
by the sheriff and his deputies and
each man wore a worried and dis
turbed look.
The defendants informed Deputy
District Attorney Fry that they were
ready for a preliminary. A com
plant charging them with highway
robbery. sworn to by David Seton,
manager Of the Royalty Club saloon,
was read to the prisoners.
How do you plead, Glen Towry,
guilty or not guilty?" asked Attorney
Fry.
Guilty" replied the tall, good
looking young man. who fully realiz-
es the serious predicament In which
he finds himself.
How do you plead. John Hum
mel. guilty or not guilty?" asked Mr..
Fry.
Guilty" replied Hummel and his
gaze shifted from one ohicer to an
other.
Until the moment Hummel re-
sponded to this question not an ON
Ger In the court room knew how he
out all along that he was innocent.
Both men waived preliminary ex-
animation. Justice sweeney nxed
each mans bond at $1,000. Neither
can give bond and must remain in
jail until the March term of the dis
trict court, when they will receive
their sentences.
Hummel wore a pair of overalls
and a rough shirt. He had not shaw
en- for days. He Is nervous, pecul-
lar looking little man, with oddly
colored eyes. 1t has been reported
that Hummel IL not strong mentally,
yet he Is far from being insane.
Towry wore nice looking black
coat and vest and a pair of almost
new overalls. He Is far from being
bad looking fellow. He is very tall
and erect Had Glen Towry had
ing cast adrift in the world when a
mere boy, who can say that he might
not have been morally as well as
physically fine young man.
This afternoon, before the prelim-
mary, Towry was taken to the sher-
iff's Office from the county jail. Then
Hummel was brought up from the
city jail. 1t was the first time the
two men. had met since their arrest.
Towry was asked to repeat his story
of confession. He did 30. He was
then asked who was the man that
was his companion in the crime. "It
was john" he said. Deputy Sheriff
Peck asked. do you mean It was
this man, John Hummel?" Towry
responded Eyes. 1t was him." Hum
mel had nothing to say.
Later on Hummel told Sheriff
Schrader that Towry's story was sub
stantially true, but held that Towry
was wrong in some Of his minor
statements.
Towry said today that he and
Hummel had secured a team from
the place where 1t was hitched on
Main street the night of the attempt
cd holdup and took 1t to point In
the alley near the, saloon, expecting
to use It when they had done their
nefarous work to get to Bovine,
where they expected to catch train.
However. they left the saloon in
such a hurry that they made no eff
fort to use the wagon AMI team. 1t
was found standing near the saloon
the next morning.
