Geo. Young and wife of Omaha have
concluded a two weeks stay in this
city during which they took side trips
into the mountains.
DR.. Hall spent the early part of the
week in Colorado Springs and returned
here Tuesday and left Thursday for
Omaha. where he will visit with Mr.
and Mrs. Geo. Young He was de
lighted with Colorado and 1t may be
added that Denver was delighted with
him. Considering his national rep,t
tation as a physician and surgeon, his
lack Of affectation and general good
fellowship made him liked by all who
met him. While in Colorado Springs
he visited the laboratory OF DR.. Webb
the roted investigator. His cordial
reception there is made notable by the
fact that Mrs. Webb is the daughter
NJ Jefferson Davis. DR.. Hall has the
added interest for Denverites that he
was the one who gave substantial en-
couragement to DR.. Ford in her med
ical school days.

There was no response. Murray's
mind worked swiftly. The prisoners
