mail clerk disdaipfuily kick the limp

old man Davis from the Buck Creek

The postmaster looked at him cold

made no reply The crowd laughed
and old man Davis became red under
his tobaeco-stained whiskers.

FOREIGN MADE ENGLISH
Specimens Taken at Random from
European Hotels.

Every traveller in Europe has been enl.vened
by the occasional specimens of foreign made
English which greet him in hotels and else
where They written in all seriousness, and
it probably never occurs to the writes that
these productions are otherwise than perfect in
ldiom and literary style. One wonders why at
least some passing Briton or American is not
called into consultation. but in that case Europe
would add much less to the gayety OF nations.
In the bedrooms of a hotel on the Susten Pass,
in Switzerland, is posted the following:
NOTES
L Those guests who must leaving the hotel
in the early morning are kindly prayed to make
not noisy.
2. If not taken of the principal meals at
the hotel they must be charged one franc more
for the rooms for person.
3. 1t is not allowed TO tin kitchen in the
rooms
The alluson in No. 3 seems darkly mysterious,
but on reference to the German and French
sions OF the notice printed the same card it
IS found that tin kitchen is intended as the
equivalent Of 'kochapparaten." 'appareils de
cuisson." and hence refers to cooking utensils.
hotel in Palermo writes as follows, in reply
to inquiry:
"a Lawn-tennis court possesses the hotel it.
selfes not but there some in several parts
of the town.
Hoping to be favored with your visit I
sure you to do my very best to make your stay
homley and agreeable"
Not only the hotels but the railway and steam
ship companies like to try their hands at Eng
lish notices. Witness this one. from the Visp-
zernatt Railway line. in Switzerland:
THE travellers are begged to remember that
cOnformably to paragraph p of the Law OF
transport, every traveller is allowed to cary (scl
with him, free from postage. some handy lug,
gage not above Five kilos., which be put
under the seats. in the nets, or hanged to thd
hooks without incOmmoding the travellers
Every voluminous luggage or above Five kilos
must be registered"
On a steamer plying from Italy to Egypt this
announcement was recently posted:
Passengers which booked for Port Said and
wanted to go to Ismaa may give notice e
the purser. Luggage for Port Said will be put
on deck this p. NJ Passengers are kindly re-
quested to look after them. especially when
changing their mind to Ismalia"
The following taken from a circular describ-
ing the celebrated Gorge of the Aare. at Mel
riEgen. has some excellent moments" so to
speak but becomes undeniabIy Teutonc at the
end:
cit is of great interest to observe the work
accomplished by the water containing grant
sand; there are above and at ones side WI
as below one uncounted inches, grottos, ket.I4
shaped cavities. indraughts. procedures and
vaults alternating with sharp corners and ono
over an other reaching walls Of rock"
And, returning to hotels. here is extract
from the prospectus Of at WeissbaCh. IN
this instance the English is correct enough; Il
is the meaning which appears to suffer:
"Weissbach is the favorite place of resort foI
those who are fond of solitude. Persons in
search Of solitude are in fact constantly hochins
here from the four quarters of the globe!"

dime novel. Try as he would to. mix
him in his story, Attorney j: l.. Noon
and of this city, and Attorney T. A.
Ruckcr, of Aspen, could not cause n
waver. For the prosecution, District
Attorney Gentry and j. w. Dollison
of this city, scored a victory that has
been looked forward to by the stock
men of this section of the country for
the past ten years. 1t is believed that
in the conviction of Stoidard the real
king of the horse thieves has been Sc
cured 1t is believed that his cunning
planned all the raids, and that Connor
and others have been duped into doing
his wishes. The Stoddard gang has
been plying its ncfarious work from

After being out three hours, the
twelve men chosen to try Stoddard and
Connor, returned their verdict 4 few
minutes after six o. clock last Saturday
evening. AS the last words of the YER
dict, "we, the jury, find the defend
ants, Harry Connor and Orin Stoddard,
guilty." fell from the lips of court
clerk Charles King, there was death
like stiffness in the court room. Near
the side of Connor was Miss Gertrude
Young, of near Raven. She is said to
have been his promised bride. AS the
fatal words fell on her ears, she snug
gled up closer to Connor and tried ~
best she could to comfort and shield
him. Other friends, including his ia
ther and mother, were with Connor
during the trial, while with Stoddard
were his wife and sister, who haNe
stood nobly by him throughout the try
ing and terrible ordeal. The silence 10
! the court room was broken only by the
half-smothered sobs that broke from
the hearts of the two men = loved ones.
The Jurors were thanked and excused
and as they filed out of the court room
sigh of relief went up from the few

The people of Glenwood Springs, Colo.

their senator to introduce a bill in con

thousands of dollars for presidential
mansion at that resort. according to

night.
"We have the finest resort in the

"and we think it would be the place
for a summer home for the president
A white house No could be built
there that would prove not only very
popular place for the president, but

GLENWOOD WINS
FROM Aspen HIGH

After ten innings of play last Sat
urday afternoon the Glenwood high
school boys defeated the Aspen mgn
by score of six to five.
At times the boys gave fine exh'-
bition of clean, fast work, but II was
due to loose work that the game was
forced to an extra inning. A far
sized crowd was present when Umpire
Tocpfer called play ball. From the
start the game promised to be anyone $
victory. The two teams were evenly
matched, and aside from few biots
of loose playing, put up good game
Weidenhammer served the horsehide
for the locals, and for the most part
had good control. Heron for Aspen
was equally good, thus it became a
n;tchers' battle with Weidenhammer
favorite.
This was the first of a series OF
games to be played between the hign
schools of the western slope, and the
Glenwood stock has taken big jump
upward since defeating Aspen. Other
games will follow, and it is the inten'
tion Of the local boys to play Lead

Rifle, salida, and any Other team thai

LOOKING FOR
TRAINING GROUNDS

Although Glenwood sport lovers have
read much of tDuke' Schroeder,
"Deacon' Russ and "Irish' Crowley,
three members of the Denver Univers-
ity football squad, 1T was not until
Monday of this week that these three
wholesouled fellows became personally
known in our city.
The three men, together with
"Judge' Geehan, another student, of
the Denver school, came to this city
Monday that they might prove the
claims of Brussc, the former Glenwooi
ball tosser, that this is the best place
in the state for the training quarters
of the football squad this fall. The
bows visited several of the business
mon, and were assured by the hotel
men that special rates would be given
them They made trip to the ball
grounds, and "Duke' donned mit
and took light workout with the
high school boys. The Denver men
were all well pleased with the outlook
and gave every assurance that they
would use their influence to have Man
agcr Gartland select Glenwood. 1t is

from all over the country. Our bau
grounds are equal to any in the coun'
try, and the climatic conditions aro
fine. The mineral waters and the big
swimming pool and cave baths will put
an athlete in the very best of physical
condition. Our roads through the can
ons are suitable for the daily jaunts
players, and our hotel Accommodations
cannot be excelled.
This i; matter that tho board CT
trade should take up and act upon
The advisory committee of the board
will doubtless see the advantages to bo
gained in financial way, while the
advertising committee cannot fail to
see the far-reaehing results that will
come with the recurring of either the
university football squad or Natlonai
or American league ball team, to come
here for early training.
Manager Garland of the Denver Uni
versity football squad will come to this
city in the near future to talk over the
plans with the hotel men, and should
an agreement be reached, Glenwood
will have taken another step toward
the top of the ladder.

ATTENTION aLENwooD COUNCIL

The following special appeared In the
Denver Times Wednesday evening edi-
tion of this week, and may be OF iu-
tercst to the new city council of Glen
wood. since it has been brought to
their notice that "$240 from Sporting
fines have been collected in March.
The special from Pueblo says:
Believing that it is not right or de
cent for the city to accept fines from
fallen women, which are levied regu-
larly, and upon payment OF which they
are permitted to ply their "trade"
Police Magistrate Z. F. Chambers, one
of the new democratic officials, has
announced that these women shall not
he arrested nor fined unless some spe-
cific charge. is brought against them
and proven. He says further that when
woman is proved an inmate Of an
immoral house, the owner of such prop
erty shall be punished according to tho
ordinances covering this offense-
By this action Magistrate Chambers
is putting the matter up to the chief
of police, upon whom will devolve tho
necessity of arresting the women upon
specific complaints, and prosecuting
them.
Mayor a. l.. Fugard has issued strict
orders with reference to the observ.
ance of midnight and Sunday closing
of saloons. He says all saloonkeepers
who fail to obey the law will have
heir places of business closed perman-
