years, died in this city Wednesday
morning as the result of injuries sus
tained in an accident on railroad
in the southern part of the state two
or three months ago. After the acci-
dent, in which one of his legs was
broken in two places, and the other
crushed so as to necessitate amputl-
tion, he was brought to this city for
treatment, but the broken leg refused
to knit, and his death Wednesday was
the result.

byterian church, preached a short ser
mon at the parlors of Mortician Far
mum Thursday afternoon at 3 o clock.
The services were followed by inter

LOCAL NEWS OF GlENW0OD

John Wickman, who is employed on
the ranch of John Sothman near this
city, was injured in runaway Thurs

was expecting to drive out Cooper av-
enuc for Mr.. and Mrs. Sothman, VINO
were at the home of Claus Gloy. The
team became unmanageable, and as
Wickham is said to have been holding
bus one of the lines, he could not stop

WATCHED WHEELS TURN

Undersheriff Divilbiss was in Sho-
shone one day this week and while
there was taken over the new power
plant that will soon be grinding ont
electric juice for eastern slope CON
Germs. The water was turned into the
big turbines and they We're allowed
to show for short time just what
they will do when fully connected with
the machinery.
Mr.. Divilbiss said it was his first trip
to the big power plant and that he was
greatly surprised at the whole thing.
He was prepared for small sized pow.
er plant, but when he reached that of
the Central Colorado Power company,
he found his estimates as to its size
were far short of the real thing AMI
that people who have never visited the
place have no idea whatever of the i'm
mense buildings and great amount Of
machinery. He says it is well worth
any man s time to go there for n day
and look around and have some of the
things explained to him.

Charles Colcord, brother of j, w.

day morning as a result of apoplexy.
The deceased was taken sick at his
home at Kokomo, last week, and was
brought to this city for treatment.
His wife and child We're already here,
and he was expecting to come here to
make his home and work in the store
of Colcord & Dowd.
On Monday morning, although not
feeling very well, he arose and seemed
to be improving but the sudden stroke
of apoplexy ended his life soon after
he had eaten his breakfast. The re

HAVE LOCATED BIG BEDS OF SAND

Charles White announces that there
is one of the finest beds of clean,
sharp sand between this city and New
Castle that can be found in the state,
and he believes that it will be Just
what the Strouse Marble company IS
seeking to use in its work of polishing
the blocks of marble.
II. w. Ennen and Roxy Bryant were
both out the first of the week and say
they have found several beds of desir
able sand, which they feel will fill the
bill for the company.
Should the sand be all that is hoped
for and the people of Glenwood do
their part in securing locations, etc,
there would seem to be nothing in the
way, and that another few months will
see the Strouse Marble company put
ting up their mill here. Mr.. Strousc
was expected in Glenwood this week,
but delays have prevented him coming
and it is believed that he will not come
before the middle of next week. A
report has reached here to the effect
that a careful inspection of the freight
rates show that the company cannot
afford to ship the rough product over
the range, and that location will be
sought in this section of the country.

pany has purchased an engine and the

cited some of the incidents in the re.
cent fight and splendid victory in
:, Grand Junction.
The matter of time and place of hold
ing the next convention will be deter
mined by the executive committee.
Rifle and Palisade are both seeking the
next meeting, while Glenwood is 50
pleased with the result of the first
convention of this kind that the local
white ribboners have invited the union
to come back again.
Mayor Drach in extending a well
come to the convention highly compli-
mented the organization on the work it
is doing all over the country. To sun,
it up, the convention was pronounced
success by all who attended any of
its sessions.
The Grand Junction ladies came here
fresh from hard fought battle in the
peach city in which their efforts were
crowned with victory, and the saloons
were driven from their midst Mrs.
Budelicr told the ladies from outside OF
Grand Junction how the battle WAS
fought and as she was made the target
for the attack of the saloon forces,
she must have been in the thick of the
fray from start to finish and perhaps
she was in Il position to tell more OF
the real work connected with planning
the campaign than any of the others
from the peach city. Her talk was
very interesting, and more than one
of the white ribbon band was heard
to say they would know more about
such affairs in the future.
Thursday noon the visitors were
served with lunch in the church, where
the sessions were held. During their
two days stay in the city many of
them made their first visit to the pools
and springs and expressed themselves
as delighted with Glenwood and her
natural surroundings. Tho Grand juno
tion ladies were enthusiastic over the
mountain water that Glcnwood has
provided for her people and seemed to
be sorry to have to leave and return
to their homes.

The chief feature of the w. c. T. L.
. conventio nheld in Glenwood this week
was the address of the state president.
Mrs. Hungerford, delivered at the clos.
ing meeting Thursday evening.
The meeting was opened by Rev.
G. A. Footc, who conducted the devo-
tional exercises and in few remarks
complimented the ladies' of the union
on the good work they have under
taken. MIR. Footc agrees with the wOm-
en- that the best way to regulate the "a
loon is to regulate it out of existence,
and has little sympathy with any other
style of regulation
After a solo by Miss Nellie Bledsoe
and another by Mr.. Geoghegan, the
presiding officer, Mrs. Smith, of Grand
Junction, introduced Mrs Hungerfor.l.
the state president, who made an ad-
mirable address full of statements of
fact and items of interest. many Of
which were perhaps new to a majority
of her hearers.
She exploded somewhat the popular
notion that moderate drinking is all
right or ut least not very harmful, by
calling attention to the fact that in
the east medical experts have shown
THAI. 81 per cent. of the dullards in the
schools are the offspring of moderate
drinkers, while insanity cases by the
hundreds are traccable to the drink
habit.
was shattered by reference to the oft
heard expression that if VIC could drink
as the Germans do no harm would come
of it, Mrs. Hungerford declaiming that
crime and imbecility, which We're found
to be on the increase In the German
empire, had been traced to the drinl,
habit, and becan;e of this fact the late
German emperor had ordered that Il
thorough course of scientific temper
ancc instruction and investigation be
inauguratcd in the primary grades of
the public schools.
. The speaker made considerable refer
ance to the scientific authorities as to
the effect of alcohol on the human sys-
tcm, and the fact that railroads AMI
other large corporations, aside from
sentiment, but solely for business rea-
sons, are refusing more and more TO
employ those addicted to the use of
! alcoholic beverages.
| She closed with an appeal to the par
ents to protect the boys and the girls
from the insidious curse of the rum
| traffic, and declared that such victor
les were being won for Righteousness
all over the land as to encourage the

President Parks of the board of trade
is usually up to the times, but on last
Monday evening he betrayed his lack
cf knowledge as to the future home OF
Bishop Brewster. He suggested that a
committee be appointed to try to have
the bishop live here. He was told by
at least twenty business men that tire
bishop had already decided to come
here, and the late home of Bishop
Knight, which more recently has been
the home of j. w. Colcord, had been
vacated that he might move in some
time about the middle of June. No,
Parks did not pass the cigars.

Brooksville Italians Resist Officer

Brooksville Italians Resist Officers.
Italians employed in the quarries near
South Brooksville have learned the same
lesson given the Stonington Italians few
months ago, that beer taken away from a
deputy sheriff who is seizing it is very ex-
pensive.
Sunday, July 4, Deputy Sheriff Grindle,
of Brooksville, seized quantity OF beer
consigned to Italians. The Italians, an
ticipating the seizure, were on hand to
prevent it, and took the beer away from
the deputy.
Sheriff Silsby went to Brooksville, and
with Deputies Grindle and Wescott, OF
Brooksville, and Scott, of Deer Isle,
rounded up four of the Italians engaged
in the assault, and brought them before
the Western Hancock municipal court
They were found guilty, and sentenced to
a fine of $50 and costs each, and sixty days
imprisonment in the county jail. Fines
and costs aggregating s170.67 were paid
and Jail sentence was suspended during
good behavior.
