Perhaps no local production ln a
musical llle has been superior 10
the concert gwen af the Methodist
church las, FRIDAY might under dl
rectlsn Of W A Franks. Mr.. Franks
has had much experience with large
choirs and chorus work and makes
the visual drudgcr, Of preparing
such concert seem pleasure
Four chorus numbers were given by
the eighteen voices and they went
with . snap and vigor and finish
tina, brought rounds oi applause from
the large audience la the second
chorus. 'iark. Eiark my Soul, by
II L. Shelley, the lyric soprano voice
Of Mrs Chas. Freeman was heard 10
good advantage an solo work and
Mr. Franks sang the baritone solo
with hne effect La the chorus, Seek
ye the Lord, was an obligato solo
IN which the perfectly trained voice
Of Miss Ethel Combs carried the
lead while the chorus swelled or
hresthed IN whispers. Subordinate
90 the main theme.
The concert was generally pro
nounced superior TO that given by
the Agricultural college glee club,
for that aggregation had 30 soloists
to compare with Miss Coombs and
Mr. Franks The latter sang the
"Amorers Song from Robin Hood,
in splendid voice. As an encore
piece be gave Pretty little Kate,
the Parson daughter Miss COMBS
selected as her solo. Across the
Dee, and the strains Of SURPRISING
beauty won an enthusiastic encore
Owing to measles, the high schoo
orchestra was unable to appear
Mrs. n X. Summers recited an ex-
ira number to I'll in. Mrs. sum
mers always reads with expressi on
and fidelity 10 the thought of the
author Her numbers were well re-
ceived Miss Helen Webster won
much applause by her recitation OF
Hess and was called again to the
platform by the pleased audience.
Miss Luella Johnson played a pi-
ano solo in her rhythmic style which
is so much enjoyed by Gunnison
audiences. Mrs. Berky rendered
Webers Storm" in magnificent
style and gave her requested encore
piece with spirit and musical taste.
One should not forget two of the
most enjoyable numbers of the even
ing, vocal duets by Miss Combs and
Mr.. Franks. They were most beau
tifully rendered. Every minute was
enjoyable.
Gunnison is to be congratulated
on the unusual amount of musical
talent exhibited at the concert and
News-Champlun trusts it NAV be
but the first of similar treats.

MUCM NEEDED EXTENSION

lhe marvellous agricultural devel-
opment of our Western Slope has
ssimulated more talk OF railroad ex-
tension. There seems 10 be good
prospect Of a rosd from Placerville
into the Naturita- Paradox valley
this summer and Of an electric line
from Delta to Cedsredge and Grand
Mesa.
In this connection, also, News
Champion has noted in Delta county
papers much boosting of propose d
cutoff from Somerset to the Crystal
river. We are far from dlscourag-
ing this enterprise for it is desira-
BILE improvement to both Delta and
Gunnison counties, and bound TO
come some day. However, it is the
knotty question of moving the i'm.
mense perishable fruit crop of the
North Fork which really lies behind
th, discussion, and it would seem
that some encouragement to the
Colorado x Southern 10 extend its
Baldwin branch over k-ll,r or
Swampy passes would be far and
away the most immediate relief.
1t 10 true that this part Of the c.
a 5. system has been much neglected.
but it would require no great expen-
diture OF money to put the line in
fair condition, and as a short route
to Denver and the Eastern and
Southern markets it has no equal.
The distance over this line from
Gunnison to Denver via Alpine pass
and the South Park is only POP
miles as against 2S9 by way of Pu
eblo. Even with poor road bed it
has been an eleven hours passenger
run as against fifteen the other way.
and can easily be reduced to eight
hours. 1t is only Is miles from
Gunnison TO Baldwin or Mt. Carbon
and would require but some 40
miles of construction over easy grade
to Psonia by way of Pass creek and
Minnesota creek. This would make
Psonia to Gunnison but GO miles as
compared with the present l27 via
Delta. In fact, building of this
short extension would take l44 off
the present Paonia-Denver ride of
4O6 miles or almost cut the distance
in half. Certainly a much greater
saving than can 5e figured over
Hantsman Hills and via Glenwood
Also the Rio Grande line is ALREADY
congested during fruit season, while
this would open an entirely new
field TO the c. Il S. whose train. are

ROBBED OF MONEY ANO CLOTHES
Italy Man Victim Of Negro High
wayman Near Bell Branch.

Robbed of his money, stripped of
his outer garments, severely beaten
and then shot at four times is in
brief the story told by Herman Trot-
ter of Italy when he called at farm
house near Bell Branch at a late
hour Friday night.
According to the statement made
by Trotter he was a victim of one of
the most daring robberies that has
been perpetrated in Ellis county for
la long time. He had spent the day
at Bell Branch and left there after
| dark for his home at Italy. While
passing through a creek bottom he
| met atnegro in the road who ordered
him to elevate his hands and be
quick about it. The negro then rifled
! Trotter's pockets, taking all the
money he had which amounted to
! S.. 80. The negro then marched Trot-
ter into the woods and forcibly re
moved his coat and pants. After at
tiring himself in the stolen clothes
the negro proceeded to give his vic
tim beating and threatened him
with death If he reported the rob-
berry to the officers. Trotter finally
broke away from his captor and
made dash for liberty and was
shot at four times by the negro In
an almost exhausted condition he
reached house where there was a
telephone and reported the matter to
the officers at Italy, giving a meager
description of the highwayman. 1t
is believed the negro boarded an In
ternatlonal train and made his way
into Fort Worth

SALE OF TELEPHONE SYSTEM
The Ellis County Telephone Company
Purchased by Home People.

The Ellis County Independent
Telephone Company, owned by Ohio
people, has passed to local people in
Waxahachie and Ennis. About six
years ago, Tony Schaffer of Ohio, To-
Gated at Ennis, Texas, and organized
the Schaffer Construction company Of
Ohio, for the purpose of building tel
ephone exchanges in Ellis county.
They built telephone exchange in
Waxahachie and Ennis, with a long
distance line to Hillsboro. The busi-
ness prospered, but after living one
year in Ellis county, Mr.. Schaffer
contracted tuberculosis and was COM
PEELED to seek a different climate.
Going to Colorado he remained there
two years in the hope of regaining
his health, in order to return to Ell
lis county to look after the interests
of the Ellis County Independent Tel
ephone company, of which he was
general manager. But fate was
against him and he returned to
Ohio and died about two years ago.
Since that time, the property has
been managed from Ohio, distance
of 1900 miles, which was not very
satisfactory.
Last April the owners of the stock
came to Ennis, and sold a half in
terest to Ennis people, and since
that time the people of Ennis In
creased the business to such point
that they felt the same interest
should be awakened in Waxahachie,
in order to get the local influence
and prestige. At the request Of w.
L. Harper, of Ennis. who is now
president OF the company. and j.
Baldridge, OF Ennis. who is treasur-
er Of the company the Ohio people
sent their representatives, A. E.
Schaffer and J. H. Cooke, to Wax
ahachie to interest local people here
in the purchase of the remaining
stock, which was sold to the follow
| ing Waxahachie people:
