DISINHERITED WIFE is
MADE EXECUTRIX OF WILL
Mrs. Rothgeber Named by Judge
Graham, Notwithstanding
Documents Provision

Mrs. Catherine c. Rothgeber was yes
terday named by Judge Graham as eX
ecutrix of the will of her late husband,
j. H. Rothgeber. in which she was spe-
cifically disinherited. Rothgeber left
the whole of his estate. worth about
$4,000, to his nephew, George F. Gay
lord. The will contained the following
reference to Mrs. Rothgeber:
My wife having deserted and aban
doned me and suit for divorce having
been instituted by me, for that reason
and other reasons hereby give and be-
queath and devise nothing to my said
wife, and especially desire to mention
that l have not forgotten her in the
making OF this will, but that I direct
that she take no part of my estate
In the will Rothgeber named per-
son living in Illinois as executor, but
the law of California says that the ex-
ecutor of Will must be a resident of
the state. The nomination therefor
was faulty, and Mrs. Rothgeber's ap-
plication for letters of administration
not being contested she was appointed
Although disinherited, she will at least
get the fees for administering the es-
tate of her husband.

night and getting away with a sum
of money.
1t was stated that the man carried
a bara bar of some kind, with which
he had struck the victim. The des-
cription was that of a man of light
complexion and having light hair and
fitted Miller almost perfectly in the
various details.
Miller was picked up last night by
Sergeant w. W. Hill and Officer Frank
Lynch and a charge of vagrancy was
lodged against him. Officer Lynch
said the man had been hanging about
various saloons, always being accom-
panied by his brass rod. 1t was stat
ed that Miller was in the habit of stay
inS around the downtown district un-
til he was broke" and then would dis
appear for day or two, after which
he would turn up again with plenty
of money.
Officer Lynch said he had missed
Miller from his beat for a couple Of
nights and noticed that he was back
again last night Sergeant Hill said
that the presence Of Miller was not
desired by the police of this city and
told the judge that several members
of the prisoners family bore bad rec
ords..
Miller explained his possession Of
the brass rod by saying that he form
erly was a drum major with . Dem
yer band and used 1t in this posi-
uon. He said he had been at Pueblo
about two months and had been work
ing until a few days ago at one Of the
mills in Bessemer. Miller said he
worked Monday and Tuesday in Bes-
semer and said this was the reason
the omcers had not seen him. ~ he
had been staying at the boarding
th0ase which he had out there. He
stated that, when he was nOt working.
he had a room at one Of the lodging
houses downtown and said that he had
been staying there for several days.
Judge Seits listened to his story and
then told him that he would bear in
vestigation. He instructed the OH
GERS to hook further into the matter
and in the meantime imposed fine
of 500 on Miller, that he might be
held during the Investigation.

there are no insuperable difficulties

cations are that 1t will soon be clear

OLD LANDMARK
OF THE TOWN
Being REMOVED

The taking away of the building at
AL Macon avenue to make room for
the new county Jail will remove an
old landmark in that part of town and
one intimately associated with the his
tory of the local fire department
1t was erected about 1874 by the city
for the use of the volunteer flremen
and for thirty-four years has been de-
voted to the purpose for which It was
built, serving its object we'll during
all that period.
The Canon City Volunteer fire de-
partment was organized in 1874 with
James H. Peabody as chief and Robert
S. Lewis as president and lieutenant.
There was no public money available
for the purchase of mechanical equip
ment, or of uniforms for the men, and
the needed funds had to be raised by
voluntary subscriptions or from the
proceeds OF supplies, dances. etc. and
not infrequently, from the private in
come of the members of the depart
ment. In spite of the lack of money
the fire system here was very eff
cient one and the members took a
great interest in its success, paying
for the helmets and uniforms out of
their own pockets. They always turn
ed out with the machine" whenever
there was a public parada, especially
on the Forth OF July, and awakened
q general pride in the organization.
They purchased Relief" hook and
ladder truck No. l, and formed two
companies, one OF which was named
the Jas. H. Peabody company and the
other the F. A. Raynolds company
They were always ready for an emer-
sency and to that fact Is due the i'm
munity Of Canon City from any very
disastrous conflagrations. The paid
