Walkover Here.

The president. secretary and treasurer
of the association will also be elected. all
three coming from tile present junior
class. AS these officers are, in reality.
class choices. there will probably not be
a contest for any of the jobs, only one
man being put in nomination for each.
Should the question Of aquatics arise, it
will probably be in connection with
amending the constitution. Manager
Byrnes of next years crew is anxious to
get out varsity, but. as competing at
Poughkeepsie is still in the air, he will
have 10 gain the awarding of G's to men
who row in other races in order to get
candidates out. 1t is not thought, how
ever, that much difficulty will be en-
countered in this direction.
The big question. If it is brought up.
will be the one concerning basket ball.
That the supporters of the indoor game
intend to make a scrap. for it's retention
was made evident last week by the cleo
tion of Jim Colliflower as captain for
next winter. Although no one wants to
see the game dropped. yet many believe
that it should be run as separate as
sociation. and 1t is not unlikely that this
course will be followed.

Warm Contest Here.

For the assistant managerships, one of
the hottest fights in the career of the as
sociation has been waged. Both the sopho-
more and freshmen classes have repre-
sentatives on the ticket, and, as an cleo
ton is considered a great honor, the
members of the two classes have worked
hard in the interest Of their candidates.
AS William Fitzgerald. 1911, of Troy, n.
Y, brother of the former captain of the
varsity crew. was elected assistant man
ager of foot ball last December, only four
offices are to be filled this afternoon.
these being the assistant managerships of
base ball, field and track crew and basket
ball.
For the dictatorship Of the first men
toned sport, at present the biggest at
Georgetown, two competent and expert
enced men have been placed before the
members of the association Arthur
Feenan OF the sophomores is we'll known
to all the hilltop students on account of
his work on the base ball team this
spring. while John Crosby of the fresh
men Is equally we'll known on account of
his being a member of the varsity debat-
ing team.
Ex-Capt. Gibbs of the track team is the
1911 candidate for the assistant manager
ship of that department. being pitted
against Norman Wymard, the f1rst-year
lad who has done SO we'll as twirler on
the nine. Both Of the lads have a host
of mutual friends. and it is upon the way
that these acquaintances vote that the
result Of the contest mostly depends.
Two oarsmen are seeking the crew
berth, Vincent Daley of the freshmen
and Leo Joliat of the sophomores. AS for
basket ball. 1t is still doubtful If any Sc
lection will take place. In the event,
however, that an officer is chosen, the
names of Edward Ash and Gordon Jamey
will be placed in nomination. the former
by 1911 and the latter by 1912.

At 1 pm. this afternoon CASTOR Hall.
the most important meeting of the year

sociation. At 1t the business of the past
twelve months will be settled, officers for

important questions, such as those of bas-
provision for them will probably be made.
On account of the Importance of the
work to be done and the many offices to
be filled, 1t is thought that full men,
bershp of the association will be on hand.
If such proves true about 125 students
will answer to the roll call. including al
most all of the collegians and &c" men.
The first business will be the election of
officers. The present assistant managers
will be promoted to the managerships by
acclamation, while their places will be
filled by men from either the sophomore
or freshman classes. Those who will be-
come managers are: For foot ball, Dan
iel B. Murray, 1910, of Brooklyn, N. Y;
for base ball, Harry Brown, 1911, of New
York city: for crew. William Byrne, 1910,
of Pittsburg, Pa; for track, Joseph Nc
Nulty, 1910. Of Chicago, ILL.,, and for bas-
ket ball, J. Edward Df1kes, 1910, of Phil

The manner in which this somewhat
difficult matter was approached and
handled by the City of Canon City and
it's executive officers. and the spirit
in which the negotiations leading up

a source of qualification to the man

I beg to assure you that it has been a
pleasure to the management of the
Railroad company to be able to meet
the wishes of the citizens of Canon
City in the matter and to contribute,
by the concessions which the Rail-
road company was called upon to
make, to the splendid water supply
which it is now hoped will constitute
a permanent betterment to the city

it's citizens.
Again expressing the satisfaction of
the management of the Railroad COM

Washington. July 16.-A meeting
between President Taft and President
Diaz of Mexico now being practically
assured. the president and his cabi-

visit either shore and extend their

The funeral party will arrive in the
city at o'clock tonight from that
city over the Florence and Cripple

vice will be held at the grave.
The services in this city will be un-

months ago. 1t was not until yester.
day that a formal exchange of the
contracts between the Denver and Ric
Grande Railroad company on the one
hand and the City of Canon City on
waterworks pipe line through tn
Royal Gorge. Under the provisions OF
the compact the City of Canon City
grants in perpetuity to the railroad
company a right of way for such ad-
ditional tracks as it may desire to
construct through that portion of the
canon traversing the lands conveyed
to the former by the United States
government for park purposes. In
compensation for that concession the
railroad company gives to the city a
right of way for it's pipe line across
such property as it may own under its
articles of Incorporation in the Royal
Gorge. By the ratification Of the
agreement a long pending contro-
versy has been brought to an end.
That it is agreeable to all con-
cerned goes without saying, in fact,
both parties have made material gains
by it's confirmation without losing
anything of essential value. In trans

city Elroy N. Clark, its general at

JAS. N. JOHNSON, Of
MERCEDES, TEX, yISIT|N
HERE AFTER LONG ABSENCE

Mr.. and Mrs. James N. johnson and
daughter-in-law OF Mercedes. Texas
stopped off here day or two ago for
short visit with Mr. and Mrs. Jas
F. Rogers of 430 College avenue while
en- route to the Alaska Yukon Pacific
Expositionn at Seattle and other
points Of interest on the Pacific coast.
Mr.. Johnson lived in Canon City many
years ago and villa hez zrenaambered by
l1a few Of the sptoheei 0sodgats Of the
community. ~ - -.
Mr.. Johnson came to Colorado from
the east in 1870 and to this city some
two or three years later. A remark
able thing happened to him while
making a trip from Pueblo to this
place with a teamsters outfit some
thing like thirty-six years ago that is
remembered by J. e. Mcclure and
two or three other old-timers. Mr..
Johnson left Pueblo with a four-mule
team for San Luis valley, having in
charge a large quantity OF valuable
merchandise. At Pueblo he picked up
a stranger who expressed desire to
make the journey with him and that
fact came near resulting in his death.
Everything was all right until they
reached Red creek, some distance be-
low where Florence now stands,
where they camp for the night. In
the darkness the stranger secured
possession of Mr.. Johnson's revolver
and shot him through the head. the
bullet entering the jaw on the right
side of the face and passed out below
the left eye. Mr.. -Johnson's would-be
murderer told the wounded man that
a prowler about the camp had shot
him. but did not convince him that
such was the case. Mr.. johnson was a
man of remarkable nerve and vitality
and survived his wound. which " ou,1
have killed an ordinary person. He
did not say anything about his sus-
picions until arriving here when the
stranger was taken into custody and
thrown into jail. A month or more af-
terwards a jail delivery took place
and all of the prisoners got away, ex-
cept the man accused OF the assault
on Mr.. Johnson.
He came down town early the
following the outbreak from
the Jail and informed the authorities
OF what had taken place, and. for
some reason, was never prosecuted
for his attempt on the life-Aof Mr..
Johnson. although public feeling ran
very high against him here at one
time. Mr.. johnson went from here to
Montana and then back to Missouri.
his native state, and later to Texas.
where he prospered and where he is
Tow the president Of a bank and
reputed to be a very wealthy man. Mr..
johnson is unable to recognize very
many Of the landmarks Of the Canon
City he knew a generation ago.
