 C. M.

of the trouble encountered by the Pathfinder through the sand and was therefore prepared for anything that might happen.
 Because some one gave wrong di- rectiops the Rec took the wrong path and struck one bunch of sand that took over five hours to cover four miles. After this the road was fine to Corona by way of Torrance, then to CarriZZo and on to Alamogordo, this being the longest stretch of the trip from Alamogordo to Fl Paso. Not only the longest but the hottest, 105 miles of burning heat It took over two days to cool off with ice water at Fl Paso. MT. Williams spoke very highly of the locality around Alamogordo and the treatment received there. saying that The southern garage hospitality has the northern beat a mile. It cost us from fifty cents to a dollar to store our auto over night in the northern country. but when we got down as far as Alamogordo and from there on to Phoenix we couldn't force a single garage keeper to even take a tip"
 After leaving Fl Paso quite a bit of trouble was caused the Rec by the high water of the Rio Grande. in one place the only means of travel be- ing over the railroad track. every thing else being mud six feet deep.
 The only outside help needed during the whole 250O miles of the trip was askd for in the terrible climb from the river bottom to the mesa above. over Rim Rock. one of the most try ing stunts for an automobile in the United States
 Very little tire trouble, in fact none. was met in the first 1900 miles. though before reaching Phoenix three of the tires received small punctures at different times. One time not only stood the entire trip without a pune ure, but landed in Phoenix with Iowa wind.
 Mir Williams and Wakeman both are very we'll pleased with their trip and would like to take it over, pro- viding they could be guaranteeded the same kind of success and good weather.
 "One thing" said Mir. Williams last night, that not only was revolting. but at the same time impressed me with the carelessness of the western cattleman, was the sight of having to look at from fifty to five hundred cattle starving to death in almost call ing distance of the ranches. especially in southern Colorado and around Lords burg.

circuitous route and made a record of twentysi days, they had time to stop and do a bit of sightseeing at Denver, Sidney and Fl Paso. At no time in their trip did they encounter any extreme hardshps or suffer from the heat. Everything combined to make tbeir trip pleasant one, a trip that will be long remembered
 On the 18th of May they packed their little Rec with 400 pounds of baggage and started across Nebraska to Omaha, through Freemont and on to Sidney. where the rain held them up for two days, and though on the third day it was still drizzling, they started on the long crawl to Denver soon leaving behind the prairie lands and getting into the rocky highways The roads all the way, though not much traffic was seen. showed a lot of travelling, in fact the entire way to Denver was good travelling From Denver the Rec followed the flag to flag route with the Pathfinder directly ahead of them. so close ahead that the Rec had to eat the dust thrown from the tires of the Pathfinder. Mir. Williams thought that though in a way the sand was an inconvenience. it did not cause the trouble that might have been supposed.
 The next stop was at Pueblo, then back to Trinidad. and over the Raton mountains. at an elevation of between 1000 and 5000 feet, by the new gov ernment road. not yet completed. the last five miles of the incline be- ing merely broken up. and took a bit of time in the climb But once over the summit, the descent became so steep that even with the back wheels locked the car slid over a hundred feet several times before coming to stop.
 The next resting place was Las Vegas. and after that the old Santa Fe trail became the roadway, up over the Glorietta mountains, which brought hack the old days of the set tier. the pioneer. the Indians and the garrison boys. On the divide of the Glorietta mountains was struck the only camp out of the trip. Mir. Will Hams claims it was the most beau tiful sight he has ever witnessed. his first view of a dawn from the sum- init of a range of mountains. The next tarrying point was Santa Fe. and from there on to Albuquerque, baling wire came in handy every once in a while, and now and then a tire went flat, but nothing of a serious nature happened. After leaving Al buquerque the path changed into a white sandy trail over the desert to Fl Paso. Mir. Williams had heard

KENTUCKY MAN SHOT
EDWARD CALLAHAN OF BREATHITT
COUNTY FATALLY HURT.
Ex-Sheriff, Noted for Part in Disruption
of His Section, Receives Bullet
Fired from Ambush.

JACKSON, KY, June 7.-Ex-Sheriff
Edward Callahan, noted for participation
in the feuds that have disrupted Breath
lit county for years, was shot from am
bush early today and it is believed fatal
ly wounded. The shooting took place in
his home town, Crockettsville, sixteen
miles from Jackson.
Callahan had swept out his store pre-
paratory to opening for the day, and was
brushing the refuse from the front door
when the shot was fired. The ball took
effect in the left side of his abdomen.
Bloodhounds have been put on the trail
of the assassin, who, it is understood,
hid behind pile of coal to fire the shot.
Callahan was in Jackson Saturday in
attendance upon court, Il warrant having
been served upon him for malicious shoot
ing in a family affair some time ago.
His case was continued and he at once
left Jackson, telling one or two friends
that lately he was fearful of his life.
1t is reported that the immediate
cause for the shooting of Callahan was IA
dispute over the management OF a church
he built at Rockettsville, and of which
he is Il deacon.
Callahan was the chief lieutenant of
Judge James HargiS. Judge Hargis was
shot and killed by his son. Beech IIar-
gis, who has received a life sentence
for the murder. Callahan thought he
had recently made peace with the Dea-
tons and Smiths, his worst enemies,
Callahan'S former wife was DcatOn
and she eloped with John Smith. Last
January Deaton was shot and killed
from ambush near Callahan's home.

FORMER Grocery BOY Of Fatrhaycn,
Mass, Who Became a Money King.
The death of Henry Huttleston Rog-
ers, multi-millionaire and Standard
OIL magnate. came as a shock to the
men of the financial world. Mr.. Rog-
ers died Of apopleXy, an ending which
he had reason to anticipate, for nearly
two years ago he had suffered from a
stroke which compelled temporary
retirement from business activities
Henry II. Rogers was a native OF
Mattapoisett, Mass, and was 60 years
OF age when death brought to a close
his marvellous career. AS boy he
attended school in Fairhaven, Mass,
where his father was a grocer-a town
which years afterward was the recip.
tent of his financial favor In many
ways. He began his business career
selling newspapers and driving a de-
livery wagon for his father. Then he
worked az clerk In New Bedford for
50 week. After five years he became
railroad brakeman and baggageman
at S1.16 per day. Shortly after reach
ing his majority he went with his
young wife to the Pennsylvania oil
country, taking with him his savings
with that group of Oil City boys many
of whom later were to be numbered
among the financial kings Of America.
In 1865, after five years In the oil
fields, he went to Brooklyn as partner
in the firm conducting the Charles
Pratt Oh Works.
In Standard OIL.
In 1874 the union OF the chief oil
reflners in New York, PHILADELPHIA,
Cleveland and Pittsburg brought into
existence the Standard OIL Company
and Rogers was in on the ground floor.

he was responsible for the remark.
able success of that organization and
second only to him he reaped the
greatest financial reward.
Two great ideas Mr.. Rogers contrib
uted to the development of the oil
business. He invented the machinery
by which naphtha was first success
fully separated from the crude oil,
thus making the way for all that has
been done since in the use Of naphtha
and its kindred products, and making
the handling and use of the residual
oil far safer than 1t had even been
before because the volatile constituent
had been removed
OF late years Mr.. Rogers, with Will

production and distribution with 9TH
