audience is. left as to Kanekos real
status-a conqueror or mere daring

natural in a dream, as would the over

1t is pleasant to watch the deserved

range and an inevitably theoretical
viewpoint. 1t reneWs ones faith in

greeting accorded him after the third

BOLD ROBBERY
IS FRUSTRATED
ATTEMPT MADE TO STEAL
WATCH FROM LUNCHMAN
Youth Grabs Timepiece from Pro.
prietor of Stand, but Is Over
taken by Employe of
Place

Another bold robbery was frustrated
last night and three men giving the
names of William Harris, Tom Burke
and j. Ryan are locked up at central
police headquarters, charged with the
attempted larceny of a gold watch
from A. Ranovich, proprietor of a
lunch wagon, 2271a North Main street
Five young men entered the lunch
wagon of Ranovich and an order for
food was given. AS RanoVich was
preparing the food one of the men
grabbed the proprietor's watch and
started to run.
Walter Glodfeity, an employe of the
place, started in pursuit of the man
who grabbed the watch, and a fight
occurred in front of the Temple block.
The comrades of the man who grabbed
the watch followed and came on Glod-
felty, who was on top of Harris, the
man said to have stolen the watch.
A free-for-all fight ensued, during
which Glodfelty was seriously injured.
and the young desperadoes succeeded
in rescuing their friend. The watch
was later found in gutter opposite
Temple block.
Glodfelty was sent to the receiving
hospital and his battered head was
dressed. In the meantime Patrolmen
Ammon and owens had been detailed
on the case and Harris, Burke anC
Ryan were arrested in Main street
restaurant The police are looking for
the other two men who were present
at the time of the attempted robbery
and who are said to have taken part
In the beating of Ranovich, who is an
aged man.
II is said that Harris is the scion of
a wealthy family, and despite the fact
he denies strenuously he had any part
in the affair, investigation by the po-
lice, it is said, reveals the fact that
Harris was the person who grabbed
the watch and ran.
The efforts of detectives are now de-
voted to catching the pals of Harris,
Burke and Ryan.

An idea recently adopted by the telephone
company is to have telephone call boxes il
stalled m the street like the call boxes used by
the police. The idea has been put TO a practical
test in Chester. Penn. and has been found 81
convenient for the public that the boxes viii

The advantages are many. In the first place.
the boxes are almost always in sight and handy
There Is no need for hunting a telephone sign

To women the scheme will be boon because
many of the pay stations are placed in saloons

will have this additional advantage. too. that In
the street can talk without the unpleasant
knowledge that rOomfuI of Ioungers can hear
all that is said.
Those who have tried the street telephone say
that the rumble and noise of the traffic does not
cause any particular annoyance. as the head OF
the person using the phone is inside the little
box in which the telephone is placed. and the
extraneous noise does not interfere with hear
ing the voice of the person at the other end OF

To the telephone company the ADVANTAGE IS
an obvious one. Not only does the new street

A BOY KILLS
HIS own
FATHER
Terrible Tragedy at 0uray Appears
Inexplainable. Boy Claims That
His Mother was in Danger.
NO ARRESTS HAVE BEEN MADE
Especial to The Sentinel. ]

Ouray. Colo, July 7.-One of the
most mysterious and appalling trag-
edies that has occurred in this section
of the state in years occurred yester-
day afternoon when Roy, aged IA,
shot and instantly killed his father,
Frank Mooney. one of the best known
pioneers OF the Ouray district.
The boy claims that he thought his
father was about to murder his moth
er when he shot him to death yet he
admits that his parents as far as he
knew had never had any trouble in
their lives.
1t seems that the father and the
mother of the boy were standing in
room al the Mooney home discussing
a proposed trip to ranch owned by
Mooney several miles from Ouray.
The father had Just finished strop-
ping his razor preparatory to shaving
and was talking to his wife. Pres
entity he laid his hand on his wife's
shoulder and in the other hand he
held the razor.
Just at this instant the boy came
into the room from the back yard
where he had been engaged in target
practice. He saw the position of his
father and mother, quickly raised his
22-calibre rifle to his shoulder and
before a word could be said he fired
and the bullet sped through his faith
eris heart, killing him instantly.
The mother was prostrated with
grief and when the boy learned that
his father had no intention in the
world of shooting or injuring his
mother, he became almost wild with
grief.
The boy declares that he did not
hear word pass between his par
ents and simply acted on a strange
impulse when he shot his father to
death.
The mother declares that she and
her husband never had the least diff
ficulty and their married life had
been a happy one
An inquest over the body OF
Mooney will be held today. Pending
the inquest no arrests have been
made.
Mooney had resided in ouray for
more than 20 years and was highly
respected.
