FORMER RIFLE MAN
ACTS STRANGELY

The Denver papers during the
past few days have contained
long accounts of the mysterious
disappearance Of George Hald
well known in Garfield county
and for many years a resident OF
Rifle where he was local manag.
er for j. w. Hugus & Co.
The Denver Times of yesterday
contained the following sad
though interesting story of Hald s
peculiar actions:
with no recollection of any
thing that has happened since
Sunday noon, weary in mind and
body and weak from hunger, Geo
lald, banker, of Guernsey, Wyo.,
who mysteriously disappeared
from his room at the Alamo hotel
Monday, returned to the hotel
early this morning, to the great
relief of his sick wife and Mr..
and Mrs. Matthew Hargrave, his
parents-in-law.
Hald's case is a most peculiar
one. The young man S father-in-
law is determined to learn the
cause of IIald's strange actions
and this morning announced that
he would engage the best phySi-
clans to take charge of his SON
in-law. Though not a physician
himself, he believes that the
young mans condition is due to
overwork.
"Hald is prosperous banker
He came here about two weeks
ago with his wife. The latter un-
derwent an operation few days
ago and it was to be near her that
Hald made the trip to this city.
His parents-in-law arrived Mon

APPEAL FOR
ARMY KETTLE

Adjutant Kuhn of the Salvation
Army makes the following state
ment concerning preparations the
Army is making for spreading
Christmas cheer:
THE Christmas kettles are on
the streets and the lads and lassies
are tinkling their claim upon the
notice of the charitably inclined
public. May the response be an
especially generous one, not alone
because the Salvation Army makes
it-although any effort that has the
Army's imprint upon it is generally
accepted as worthy of support-'but
because of the very real need for
such ministrations as the winter
relief work of which the Christmas
dinner is part, and out of love for
the Christ of Christmas who, we
feel certain, looks down from his
throne in the skies with interest
and approval as tears of sorrow
are wiped away, hungry bodies fed
rent paid, positions found for the
unemployed. coal put into empty
cellars, estranged friends recon
ciled and little children made
happy.
"Patronize the gypsy kettles as
you jostle against them on the
street corners during the busy
shopping season. Give gladly and
give literally. The strong must
help the weak and the prosperous
the unfortunate. Share your for
tune with your poorer brothers and
sisters. That is what the kettles

and Mr.. Browne objected to the
viaduct except it be made the full
width of the street, 30 feet, in
stead of Ga feet wide. as planned.
City Engineer Ralston explained
the plans in detail. The cost is
estimated at $311.O00. The city
is not legally bound to pay a cent
of the cost, according to the cor
poration council.
AT the meeting of the council
next Tuesday night a resolution
notifying the railroads of the. adop-
ton of the viaduct plans and in
forming them that the city desires

probably be adopted.
The viaduct plans have met with
the approval of the railroads, ac-
cording to Engineer Ralston, who
submitted them to railroad .engi-
neers before sending them to the
council.
The Monroe plan adopted takes
into consideration a south end fill

In letter to the council about

The total cost as estimated by
Engineer Ralston is now approxi-
mately $344,000. Mr.. Ralston has
made several estimates heretofore.
