W. j. FINE VISITS GLENWooD

w. j. Fine, former treasurer of the
city and county of Denver and at one
time cashier of "A Gunnison bank, was
with the Knickerbockcr special when
it arrived in this city Wednesday after
noon. Mr.. Fine is a heavy stockhold-
er in the marble and at one time was
one of the few owners of the vast mar
BILE beds near the town of Marble. He
devoted his time in Glcnwood to shak
ing hands with old time friends AMI
piloting the eastern investors to the
points of interest around this city
Although the Knickerbockcr people
expect to visit other sections of the
state, their main object in coming to
Colorado was to inspect the marble
beds near Marble. The slate deposits
will be examined, but in the marble
the company believes they have the
real valuable material and the mater
ial that will soon be in great demand
all over the world.

What greater compliment could be
paid the state of Colorado than that
sixty-two of the leading financiers of
the east should seek and accept invesC.
ments among our hills? 1t is true, east
ern money has been pouring in during
the pas. few years at wonderful rate,
but on Wednesday of this week Glen
wood was called upon to entertain sixty
two of the leading eastern capitalists
who were on their way to Marble where
they spent Thursday and Friday look
ing over the wonderful marble and
slate beds in that vicinity.
The sixty-two men with their wives
and daughters arrived in this city about
two O'Clock Wednesday afternoon and
Immediately took apartments at Hotel
Colorado where they remained for the
night. Visits were paid to the caves
and swimming pool and the eastern pco-
ple were given their first real taste OF
Colorado's wonderful scenery ana
health giving waters. That they Were
pleased goes without saying and that
they enjoyed the plunges is known by
the way they entered into the water
sports.

The Antlers Middle

Matters are probably more comDli-
catcG at Antlers than ever before avl
no one can safely guess what the final
result may be.
Eeccutly the board of directors of
tie Farmers Irrigation Co. met and
made a contract with the Antlers Orch
ara Qssel opment company, letting the
company in as a half owner of thu
l.csent reservoir and ditch system.
But w. e, Tippctts, secretary of the
company, refused to execute the con
Tract and issue the stock as agreed up
on. Whcreupon the board proceeded. to
remove Tippetts and elect w. S. Park
secretary. The anti-fusionists resentci
this plan and at their suggestion Tip-
potts refused to be removed.
A writ was procured from Justice
Card1ell's court authorizing the al.
rcctors to take possession Of the records
Sut when Constable Joe Hayes served
the order he found that Tippetts would
not recognize it.
Sheriff Wilmoth was hurried to thu
scene, but he found Tippetts had disa2,
pcared and with him the desired books
and records, so the sheriff returned
empty handed.

is to be held today, but what will be
done is conundrum as both parties
are very guarded as to their intentions

reference to providing signboards

than SIS nor more than 500 for fail
ure to comply with the law. The
law is found in section 1868, article

souri, has a bad reputation in the
matter of confusing country roads
