of his master. Suddenly the brave
old dog plunged into the raging river
and swan toward his young master
| The dog, with an instinct almost
human. fought his way against the
current, out to the struggling Whar-
ton and seeming To realize what he
was doing the shaggy hero got on the
side that would break the current To
some extent away from his master.
swan directly up to the side of Whar-
ton and Wharton, almost exhausted
and hardly able TO keep his head
above the water, threw his arm
around the body of the dog and to-
gether they swan many yards to-
wards the shore.
The dog kept right at the side of
Wharton in this manner until within
about forty feet of the bank when he
broke away and swan alone to the
short but Wharton was then in water
that was not very swift and a few
strokes more brought him to where
he could touch the bottom with his
feet. Then man, one of a large
number who from the bank saw
Wharton make his swim and saw the
dog help save his master. plunged
into the river and assisted the ex-
hausted young man to reach the
shore
Wharton was completely exhausted
when he was pulled onto the shore.
Had Wharton's dog not gone to his
assistance he would almost certainly
have perished.
Wharton was soon able 10 go down
the river to the state bridge. There
he Twas met by Ramey with the team
and they came into Grand Junction.
Late last night two sons of w. j.
Lee, who owns a ranch about four
miles below Cameo and a mile above
| Palisade, saw an object on a sandbar
that they took to be the body of a
woman. Investigation proved that 1t
was the body of young Buchanan.
The body was recovered, taken to
Palisade and was taken in charge by
| Undertakers White and jenkins
Coroner Day being out of the county
a justice of the peace viewed the re-
mains and pronounced death acci-
dental.
Manager McNeill of the Cameo
mine, wired the father in Denver and
the remains were prepared for burial
and will probably be shipped TO Den
yer tonight or tomorrow.
| IL Is SAID that the drowned youth
was an adopted son. He was a
bright genial and worthy youth and
his tragic death will cause much sor-
row.
The body of Buchanan was found
about $50 last evening. The fact
that the Lee boys thought the body
was that of a woman, when viewed
from a distance, gave rise to the re-
port that a woman had been drowned
in the upper valley.

bers OF this organization all feel that
there certainly is a big year In store

cessful man that the Wheelman ever
have had in that capacity, and In pick

is no doubt but what the Wheelmen
are in for some great times during the
next year The entertainment COM
mittee will figure on giving all enter
tainments free TO the members with
a nominal charge for their friends.
The first entertainment to be staged
is an evening OF wrestling. Tuesday,
Feb. .. The main bout OF the even

Stop Roasting hdkIe!
By MIKE DONlIN.

1t seems 10 me about time that this
roasting OF Fred Merkle ought TO stop.
It's the bell and the count OF ten
for that stuff.
Not that It's any OF my business. but
the lads such square, cleancut chap
that believe he should be given a
chance.
Merkle Is ball player from his feet
up. Don't ever think for minute
that he isn't. He's no bone-head,
either. by the way. and any one who
may think SO has another guess com
ing. He was the victim Of a baseball
trick Hundreds of other players have
been guilty of the same thing.
Now let's all forget that failure OF
Freds to touch second He'll never
fail TO touch it again, even though he
is in the grave a hundred years.
Let's help the boy along with plenty
OF encouragement and boosting A
fellow shouldn't be condemned for life
because of one mistake, and he's GER
tainly been punished enough already.
He's a game lad and he's sticking
and fighting the good fight well.
You can't beat Fred Merkle.

FLINT. Mich, Jan. 29.-The annual
session OF the directors OF the Mich
igan Short Ship racing circuit will
be held In this city next week, prob
ably on Friday, Feb. s, il was stated
today, although the date has not been
set for the meeting called. Lansing
was originally chosen as the gather
ing place, but when II became rumor-
ed that II was probable the Capitol
city would not have a race meet ms
year, the directors of the local club
did some hustling and President Knill
stated, It Is said, few days ago that
he would call the meeting here. The
sessions will probably be held at the
Hotel Dresden.
The usual routine business will be
transacted at the session here and
the dates for the different tracks will
be awarded.
AS so much time has been spent In
bringing the annual meeting OF the
circuit to this city, the directors Of
the local club have had no opportun-
ity To get together and talk over the
plans for the summer meetings here.
Although last year was Flints maiden
bow In the circuit, its races were
the most successful of any Of the
twice-around rings in the common
wealth. and the meeting held in con-
nection with the fair was a close Sec
ond, TO the one in August.
The situation at Lansing has not as
yet been made public. II is under.
stood, however, that Secretary Pen
man has had some difficulty there and
that II is quite probable Lansing will
not see the goers this year. at least
under his auspices.
