1t was first reported that Boswelrs
back was broken. but an examination
showed that such was not the case.

TO be OF such a nature as to minimize
the chances OF his getting well. He

four to six years imprisonment for

The death of Mr.. Mackenzie was
80 sudden and unexpected that many
OF his frineds refused 10 believe the
announcement that the accident of
which he was the victim had termin-
aied fatally. He had been z resident
of Canon City for many years and was
one OF the prominent men OF the COM

Scotia. he came TO the United States
about twenty-five years ago and for
some time before coming to Colorado

Kenzie was engaged In the railroad

Railroad company. He was an ener-
Eetic. frugal business man and pos
sessed sterling honesty and integ-

OF all who knew him. In the death Of
Mr. Mackenzie the community loses

on the penitentiary farm near by. Mr..
Mackenzie proceeded 10 the tEestle to
extract the unfortunate animal. as
there was danger OF It's wrecking a
train expected at that point in few
minutes. The horse was frantic from
fright. a fact that greatly added to
the difficulty OF the task which Mr..
Mackenzie and his assistant had IN
dertaken. In attempting to put a
halter on the animal to be used In
pulling Il out from between the ties

hurled over the edge OF the tresle

bouncing the present tariff as an un-

Of compromises and expcdients. While
views as to the functions Of the pro-
posed tariff commission varied, the
speakers were as one in asserting its
immediate necessity. Chairman Van

urged the matter Of revision of the
tariff from divergent standpoints, but
were agreed on the position that the
present conditions demand the con-
stitution of a tariff commission at
once.
