This was the sight witnessed by
the young lady when she looked

that of George Kilvington. an old
gentleman residing in Browns park.
Mr.. kilvington was well known in
Wyoming. During the early days
he carried the mail from Bryan to
South Pass. and at later period
from Green River to Browns Park.
Utah
We take the liberty of publishing
letter from John Jarvie, Sr., who
was present at the inquest:
George Kilvington, an esteemed
and honorably discharged pensioner
OF the Civil war, aged about rs, be-
ing unmarried, he lived alone, and.
sad to relate. died alone, and pre-
sented n most gruesome find.
"On the 2ith inst. Miss Minnie
Grouse went to his place to see how
ne was getting along. Going to the
window, she called aloud; but no
answer. except a fierce cur of a dog
that jumped up at the window, and
at that she hastily retreated but
went around to the other window
tas she was by this time too much
AFRAID to try the door, where she
could observe that some kind of an
object was lying on the he'd. and
though struck with terror that it was
he, dead. she went to the first win
dow. which was close to the bed,
and, as the dog had by this time
crept under the bed bowling and
yelping in terrifying manner she
men gazed on sight sufficient to
shock the bravest and strongest.
1T was estimated that at this time
he had been dead at least five days
or more. and the dog, being shut in
with him, had torn every vestfge of
skin and flesh that was exposed. Not
hair was left on the skull tha
eyes gone from their sockets nose
mouth, chin, ears-everything, ali
gone. She then fed in terror to the
nearest neighbor. about 2 miles dis
tant: When everything that could
be done was performed, and at last
decent interment was given the
remains.
His rife was found lying on the
bed beside him. and, although an
empty shell was found in the barrel.
there was no sign of its having been
discharged by him. The apnear rance
of things was that he had gotten mn
to make fire. as shavings and kind
ling were all there ready to light:

FRIDAY WILL BE
CLEANING DAY

Grand Junction is TO have
general cleaning up day on Fri
day, April rs, Arbor Day. This
was decided upon last night Mt
conference held by the muni-
cipal affairs committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, n COM
mittee from the Woman's Club,
Mayor j. IL. Wentworth and j. ii.
Lee, who is to succeed Mayor
Wentworth. The matter was
thoroughly discussed last night
at the conference. That there
should be general cleaning up
of the alleys, the streets, vacant
lots, private premises, etc, il is
generally admitted. During the
winter much dirt and refuse
accumulates and during the past
few years two or three clean up
days have been arranged and
these efforts to clean mp the
city have always proven very
effective.
Gov Shafroth in his proclamation
setting aside Friday, April 16. as
Arbor Day, suggested that there be
a general cleaning up of private and
public premises on that day through
out the state and the local authori-
ties propose to act upon this sugges-
tion.
Mayor Wentworth will issue a
proclamation calling upon the people
to clean up" on Friday
1t is hoped that there will be a
general response to the call. Let
every citizen get busy, clean his back
yard, his front yard if it needs it, the
alleys In the rear of his home and
help clean up any vacant lots that
may be near him and that may CON
tain such eye-sores as punches of
dead weeds, etc.
A general effort along this line
will result in making Grand Junction
cleaner than she has been for Years
so let everybody get busy. Clean
streets. clean and pretty door yards
clean alleys, give the city an attrac-
i've appearance and a healthy air, a
condition that we all desire.

Fowler Wins the
Yonkers Marathon.

New York. Jan. Robert Fowler,
formerly of the Cambridge Athletic
Club of Boston but who is now unat-
tached, won the Yonkers Marathon
race today in , hours 50 minutes and
As rs seconds. A little>more than two
miles of the race was run over the
roads in and about Yonkers while the
remainder was run over the course OF
the Empire City race track in the pres
ence of a great crowd OF spectators
FoWlerS time was far behind that
made by Matthew Maloney week ago
over a hill and dale course from Rye
to Manhattan. but his performance,
nevertheless, was a merltorlouS one
Fowler was always in the front bunch
and had the necessary sprint when
ever one was needed to hold his place
or take the lead.
Up to the 18th mile Sam Mellor a
former Boston Marathon champion, led
the pack, with John j. DAILY, the Irish
American representative and Fowler
close up. Then DAILY took the lead. but
Mellor and Fowler were running
strongly and it looked as if the race
was between these three as the others
were many yards behind.
AT the Goth mile Mellor Blew up
and the race resolved itself into a duel
between Daily and Fowler. DAILY also
weakened and Fowler romped on alone
winning by about 400 yards from DAILY.
Sidney Hatch of the Illinois Athletic
Club, Chicago came up strongly at the
end and took third place from Eddie
Hatch of the Xavier Athletic Club.

tered for today'ss race, but did not start

Pittsburg, Jan. mike Donlin. captain

theatre, announces that he will quit the
strings a little more, and. furthermore,
says that he has given McGraw his ulti-
matum. Yes. Mike actually got out that
long word all by himself. oh, yes, come
to think of it, his pretty little wife was
standing nearby. and possibly may have
used some mental telepathy or something
like that.
We've been getting so many offers to
remain in vaudeville and it's so much
easier to play actor than it is to swat
a ball around a feld-oh what's the

a great deal more making people laugh.
However, I'll play for McGraw if he
comes up with the coin.
Mrs Donlin and l have received a
number of good offers and we are waiting
to hear from McGraw before deciding
the game next season. though the base

SUSPENDED MEN MAY TURN PRO
Offers Made to Lee, Bonhag and Bel
lars to Race Against Shrubb.

New York, Jan. 1.-The task of picking
three first-class men to run in the Emile
relay event against Alfred Shrubb. Eng
lands long-distancc champion. in Madl-
son Square Garden on Saturday night.
Ian. 9. promises to he easier than wat at
first supposed owing to the recent action
of the registration committee of the A. a.
U. in suspending some OF the best runners
the world has ever known. The man
ayers of the race on hearing of the sus-
pension of J. ]. Lee of Boston, George
T. Bonhag of the Irish American A. c.
and Freddy BellarS of the New York A.
c., opened negotiations looking to include
one or more of them in the relay team.
Whether these men will accept the ruling
of the A. A. L. without further parley
and turn pro remains to be seen. but
it is certain they will receive substantial
offers to join the ranks of the money
chasers.
Shrubb's wonderful speed over any
course inside of Is miles makes 1t neces-
sary, in order to insure good contest.
that the fastest men be obtained to make
up the three sections of the relay. OFFERS
from all parts of the country and from
all conditions and classes of runners to
get on this team have been received, and
at least thousand letters from foot rae
ing fans have been sent in advocating
the cause of almost as many men. There
has been a heavy entry received for the
five-mie handicap, which will precede the
Shrubb relay event. Al Copeland, trainer
of the Princeton track team, and Spar
row. Robertson will do the handicapplnS
for this race.

johnson will not attend the meeting of
the commission in happy frame of
mind, for he is sore on Chairman Herr
man for promulgating report practical
ly whitewashing the Chicago National
League club for the way in which it
handled the sale of tickets for the last
worlds series. and also is not in sympa-
thy with the boiling minor leagues-the

classification. johnson would like to see
the big league teams come to some agree
ment 50 that they would not have to car
~ 5O-odd players on their reserve lists
in the winter time, but thinks the reform
should be started by the owners of the
teams and not be made possible through
the demands of the boiling minor leagues
johnson does not altogether believe that
iif the demands of the American Assocla-
ton and Eastern League factions are re-
fused they will tamely submit to such
treatment and remain in the ranks of or
ganzed ball. Ban thinks the American
Association is ready for war and points
to the star-chamber proceedings of the
O'Bren organization in Chicago last
Tuesday as positive proof that the major
leagues cannot afford to take the matter
too lightly The American Association
delegates put in the whole day. accord
ing to their statement, in revising their
constitution and raising President Joe
O'Brien's salary from $4,000 to $500.
George Dovey, president of the Boston
Nationals, will come here to defend mis-
cf in, ralpo SING Kelley DOVpV' =
defence is that Joe did not give satisfac-
ton, and that Kel now can get a job
at the same salary that Boston paid him.
Dewey, when he contemplated the change
in management, first approached Toronto
to see whether the Maple Leafs wanted
Kelley back and if they would properly
remunerate their 1907 leader. Learning
| they would do so. Dovey thought lie was
safe in rendering to Frank Bowerman the
managerial position and did so, with the

Kelley, whose contract still has a year
to run. and BoWerman. recently engaged.
Dewey, while here. will have a talk with
Charley Ebbets, president of the crook
vn club. regarding the future of Bill
Dahlen. The owner of the Superbas has
not abandoned hope of getting the
stocky shortstop, and has appealed to
Dewey for final conference. If Ebbets

THE NAME VERMONT.
Not Given by Samuel de ChampIain,
But by Windsor Convention.

Perhaps it may be we'll to correct the
error, which if the report is accurate
was here made. 1t was not Champlain
the discover of the lake in 1909. who
named Vermont for Vermont was not
in existence till III. Up till that time
what is now Vermont, when it had any
name at all, had been commonly called
and known by the name of the .,ew
Hampshire grant, 1t was so designat-
ed by the Dorset convention of Septem-
Der %. 1776. The Westminster conycn-
ton of Jan. Is, 1777. in it's declaration of
independence spoke of it by that name,
but declared that the state was 'here-
after to be called by the name of New
Connecticut" The Windsor convention
which met June 4. 1777, passed reso-
luton that it should thereafter be called
and known by the name of Vermont, -
giving in the preamble as the reason for
LIE change that district of land on
the Susquehanna river had been named
and was known by tnat name, and that
it would be inconvenient for two districts
to bear the same name.
Ira Allen, in his history of Vermont,
states that DIR. Thomas Young of Phila-
delphia suggested the name OF Yer
mont 1t was probably from him that
the information came of the existence
of a previous use of the name of New
Connecticut. His letter addressed under
the date of April II, 1777, '"To the in
habitants of Vermont, a free and indie
pendent state, bounding on the river
Connecticut and Lake Champlain," was
written two months before that name
was adopted by the Westminster con-
vention, but doubtless assurances had
been given to him that the name would
be adopted.
The credit for naming Vermont"
should therefore be given to DIR. Young
instead of Samuel de Champlain.
It is stated in KimbalPs vermont
for Young Vermonters'' that Champlain
on the map Of his discoveries. called
the mountains which he had seen at
