ROY FRANKENBERRY
VICTIM OF A FRICHTfUL
ACCIDENT TUESDAY NIGHT
Fe11 From Denver & Rio Grande Freight
Train Near Hot Springs Hote1---One
Leg was so Badly Mang1ed as
to Necessitate Amputation

from the train without mishap, but
was thrown headlong down the grade
by its momentum. Frankenberry, ON
the other hand, sustained injuries
from which he will never recover In
attempting to jump off he fell under
the wheels with the result already
chronicled. He was conveyed home
and later taken to the Canon Infirm-
airy where the amputation took place
Although his condition is serious it
is believed that his youth and natural
vitality will enable him TO pull thru
all right, but it will be long time be-
fore he is sufficiently strong to walk
again. The unfortunate occurrence is
one that is very generally regretted
by the community, especially by those
who are acquainted with the victim
Mr.. Frankenberry. Sr., is the superin-
tendent of the SILICA quarries and has
been employed in connection with the
mining of that material for the Colo

occupied the attention of the court for
two days and was in some respects
one of the most notable proceedings
of the kind ever tried here. The TAX
ing of evidence in the case was COM
pleted yesterday morning. most of the
afternoon being given up to the attor-
neys for argument. At s O'Clock the
matter was in theh ands of the jury
and four hours later a verdict OF
guilty as charged in the information
was reached.
The defendant. who had previously
enjoyed his liberty under bond in the
sum Of $4,000. was given into the Gus
tody of the sheriff when the verdict
was announced and was locked up in
the county jail to await sentence for
his crime; the penalty of which under
the statutes of Colorado is from one
TO fourteen years In the penitentiary.
The crime for which McClelland has
heen convicted was in securing
Charles Crowder TO swear that he was
innocent of the charge of the abduc-
ton of Nellie Hart. fifteen year old
girl. and getting her out of the juris-
diction of the county court in viola

NYS SALT LAKE CITY
HAS GREAT c9l NUMERICAL
AID INDUSTRIAL FUTURE

The following extracts from a priv
ate letter received n day or two ago
from Frank J. Harvey. formerly OF
South Canon. but now resident OF
salt Lake City. is an interesting ac-
count OF the growth and material pro-
xress being made by the Mormon me-
tropoiis. Mr.. Harvey says:
Il like Salt Lake City much better
than l anticipated. The town is build
ing up rapidly: two new skyscrnpers
are nearing completion and tower to
the height OF eleven stories. one is
called the Newhousc building and the
other the Boston. Mr.. Newhouse also
built the Flatron building in New
York City. Work has been started for
n new hotel building which will be
thirteen stories high, estimated cost
81 800 900. Plans are being made for
another hotel building which will be
fifteen stories high and incorporated
at $4,000. 900. Six and eight story
buildings are going up in every direc-
ton. fats and courts of all descrip-
tons are being built as fast as pos
sible. and still rents are almost out
of reach. Contracts have been let for
l26 miles OF cement side walk. to say
nothing of miles and miles already
constructed. Arrangements are being
made as rapidly as possible for the
Grand Army Encompment here this
summer. including the electrification
Of local railroad. as well as the
early completion OF the New Oregon
Short Line and San Pedro passenger
station Plans and work are also pro-
gressing well for the building of the
Denver and Rio Grande depot. Busi-
ness Of all kinds is good SO you can
see that Salt Lake City is on the move
and has very promising future"

MANSFIELD MOUNTAIN GRANGE


The maple sugar makers present at the
meeting of Mansfield Mountain Grange
Saturday afternoon gave summary of
the results for the season just ended,
which it was agreed was an average sea-
son in the quantity but below the average
in quality. r. S. Warren stated that
from April II to 10 occurred the greatest
run of sap he had ever known in his
sugar place. In that time he made from
1910 trees a ton of sugar and large
number of buckets were running over all
the time, as he was unprepared to take
care of it. But little nitre was produced
during the season, but an unexplained
dark, mudlike substance was found in
the sap-clogging the strainers and in
juring the quality of the sugar. The
topic for the meeting of May 80 will be,
Our Soldiers" Papers will be read
upon the part taken by Stowe in the
wars of the Revolution, 1912, and 1S61-5.
The exercises will be open to the public
and special invitation is extended to

Post and Women's Relief Corps to at
