To the People of Medicine Lodge

1t is not possible for us to call
personally on the great number of
friends who were of such invalua-
BILE assistance to us in the sickness
and death of our dear wife and SIS
ter, Ina ]. Guthrie, and we there
fore adopt this method of express
ing our gratitude to them. Meth
er time nor future sorrows that
may come will eface from our
memory the manifold kindneSsts
shown us and the services rendered
the departed one to alleviate, as
much as possible, her suffering.
1t is a true maxim that "from out
Of the heart tie mouth speaketh, y
and if at this time we were posses
sed of a supernatural power to
frame into words the feelings of
the heart, we are sure that the
good people of Medicine Lodge
would know how thoroughly their
tender ministrations and words
and acts of sympathy are appreci-
ated.

Thos. Purcell McCague is wear
ing the championship belt as
nimrod this season. On Saturday,
while out quail hunting, he 'wing-
ed a large gray eagle measuring
seven feet and four inches from tip
to tip. Tom wasn't out for eagles,
in fact, "passed up" one chance
before to down the big bird but it
persisted in getting in his path so
often that he concluded to dispose
of it. This is his first big game.
Alfred N. Wray of Kansas City
was in the city last Wednesday
and Thursday to attend to some
business connected with some un-
improved land which he owns in
Aetna township. He is watching
the railroad building now in prog
ress in the southern part of the
county and is hopeful that the
road will be built through to Trim
idad, in which event his holdings
in Aetna township will become
quite valuable. Mr.. Wray travels
for the Carl Hoffman Music Com
pany of Kansas City.
The Index tried to get "next" to
an important political conference
held in this city Saturday afternoon
just before the Hons. Albaugh,
Clark and Travis, the sportsmen-
politicians left town, but it was
not possible. All that is known is
that the trio met and conversed
with Ex-senator Long, Postmaster
Ax]ine and few of the lesser
lights but on the result of the con-
ference all had nothing to say
Col. John MacGregor was invited
, to the conference but sent his re-
grets. The Col. says he has re-
. tired from politics and taken ur
the legal profession.
A suggestion was made in the
Index Office last Friday by man
twhoNis interested in building VI
the city and county, that is worth
considering. He suggested that il
the newspapers that are weekly
encouraging people to buy high
priced land in Texas, would devote
!, their energies toward inducing
people to buy and improve Barber
county land they might be assisting
Lin bringing people in, instead oi
ufging them to move out. He alst
lmade remark about boosting Z

AFTER 100000

Evidence which came to light yes
terday indicates that the bandits who
held up the Atlantic Coast Express on
the Denver and Rio Grande railroad
at Military Junction last Saturday
morning expected to get 5000 900 in
gold bullion in transit to the Denver
mint from San Franc isco That they
were tyros is indicated by the fact
that their plans failed.
From railroad officers 1t is learned
that the bullion was shipped over the
Colorado Midland. The Midland ard
the Rio Grande use the same tracks
to Grand Junction. but from Colorado
Springs the Midland runs over the
Santa re. The robbers evidently be.
lieving the Midland continued over
the Denver and Rio Grande, slowed
themselves on the blind baggage at
Colorado Springs and expected to get
the gold.
!. The train on the Midland which
came into Denver over the Santa Fe
tracks has the same number as the
Denver and Rio Grande train which
was held up. This is supposed :,
among railroad men, to have caused
the mixup.
Accompanying the bullion on the
Midland were three express messen.
gers and three special guards. armed
with a shotgun and revolvers. Had
the robbers attempted to rob this
train pitched battle would have re-.
suited.
Confirmation of the report was OBJ.
tainoi at the mint. A consignment
of bullion from the Pacific coast was
received yesterday. This shipment
consisted OF six boxes Of gold, tho
total value OF which was about $50. q.
900.

There will be little danger then of
further slides uutil the next heavy
fall of snow when the same method
can be repeated.
Many of these slides are started
from the uppermost crest Of the
mountain, where the snow Ia drifted
by the wind until huge drifts can
be seen rejecting over the side Of
the crest and when tons Of this drift
breaks Off, a slide is almost sure to
start.
By storing several bombs on the
crest the slides could be started fire..
quently, instead Of being allowed to
remain until enough snow acoumu-
lated on the mountain side TO tax Q
everything ont before It.
The plan of starting the slides
with shells IL Is believed would be
cheaper than the bomb method, and
some think would prove quite - ef-
fective.
Since the destruction Of the Damp
Bird mine buildings by snow slide
and fire, heavy stone piers have
been built back Of the mine build
inas. but the snow has packed In be-
hind these piers now until 1t 10 be.
lieved they would afford little proteo-
tion In case Of q big slide.

south western Colorado. In the last
ten years scores Of lives have been
lost by the snow slides and the value

WILL PREVENT FUTURE
DEATH BY SN0WSLIDE

The recent run of the famous
Waterhole snow slide, when four
men we're killed. the memory Of
former disastrous slides in the Ouray
district when numerous lives were
lost and great property damage doae,
and the inconvenience to the mining
industry here during the present
winter on account of the heavy snow
has set mining men to thinking and
| plan has been devised whereby 1t Is
thought that serious danger from
snow slides in years to come will be
eliminated. II the plan Is success.
fully worked out it will probably he
extended to Silverton, Telluride and
other camps where serious loss is
caused by slides nearly every winter
and spring.
1t is proposed to use a chain of
bombs connected by wires so that they
can be fred by electricity following
each heavy snowfall, thus making the
slides run with frequency. but with
less volume. Another plan consid-
cred feasible iu running the slides Is
the use OF cannon to throw shells into
the courses of slides and start them.
The plans are being widely dis
cussed and prominent mining mon say
they will probably be tried next fall
and believe they will be successful,
The SHOWS this winter have been
heavier than for years and slides are
more threatening and frequent than
for a number Of years. but each year
they must be contended with and each
winter mine operators are troubled
with men leaving the work for fear
of their lives.
For the last week the Camp Bird
mine has been closed, laying of about
200 mon. because Of fear of slides and
It only resumed work this morning.
Other mine workings are closed for
| the same reason and the expense
caused from these shutdowns, 1t 10
argued, would more than pay the
cost Of employing the contemplated
methods Of averting the danger.
The danger from slides usually fol-
lows heavy fall of snow and they
are started by the least little thing.
At present the wires Of the Telluride
Power company form network over
most OF the hills and the plan is, be.
fore snow comes next fall. for men
led by ,ompetont enginsor to go In.
to the hills and plant several bombs
nt the sites Of slides. all Of which are
well known by mining men. Then
when heavy snow falls and n slide
is imminent the bombs Will bo dis.
charged by electricity Mt these slides
which will doubtless run, but their
volume vii! bo so small that with
proper precautions neither property

SALE OF klRMEss TICKETS

The, tickets for reserved seats at
the Kirmess entertainment were
placed on sale promptly at 8 o'clock
this morning. a long line Of eager
purchasers were awaiting the hour,
and almost the entire number Of
seats were reserved in thirty min
utse. Many people were eager to
have their seats reserved in advance,
but Mr.. Stewart adhered rigidly to
the program of -eserving no sests
until the hour of eight; at that
time the first conner received his
ticket and each person waiting was
required to stand in line and await
his turn. Two amusing Incidents
happened when Professor Flint, be-
ing asked by four ladies to precede
others who were in the line and re.
serve seats for them as they were
rather hurried for time and did not
want to wait. The Professor, step
ping to one side, asked Mr.. Stewart
If he could not in this instance
wait on them first. Mr.. Stewart
stated that he would have to get in
line and await his turn.
Mr.. Houston, manager of the opera
house, also asked to have reservatio MS
made in advance If it were possible
so to do. Mr.. Stewart rigidly fol-
lowed the instructions. and no ad.
vance reservations were made.
Throughout the entire sale of the
Kirmess tickets everybody has been
pleased and satisfied. and boosted for
this affair to the last degree. and
never yet in any entertainment that
has taken place in Florence have
there been so many tickets sold. 1t
would seem now that on Saturday
evening there will be as large q
house as there will be on Friday
evening; and without doubt the en-
tertainment will be better on Satur-
day than on Friday evening for the
reason that those taking part in the
program will be more familiar with
their parts after having given one
real performance before au audience.
