Unaware OF their peril due 10 the fact
that the motorman had in some mysteri-

fallen into a creek. a quarter of a mile
back. many tourists bound for Mount

on a train OF the Washington. Alexan-

Body in Creek.

Hutzler, accompanied by Trolleyman
/ Pearson and number Of male passen-
gers, walked back to find what had be-
come Of Fornshiu. After going about a
quarter Of mile, they found his body
partially submerged in fee and water in
Little Hunting Creek, a mile from Mount
Vernon. The skull had been fractured
and there were bruises on the head. The
Ice in the neighb2rhood was covered with
blood. II was evident that death had
been instantaneous. The water in this
creek is about ten or fifteen feet deep.
The trestle over the water Is about
thirty-five feet high.
The supposition is that FornshiT may
have been Jared from his cab. but others
think he may have opened the cab door
TO remove the Ice from tho window IN or
der to obtain a better view. and In so do
ing, fell into the creek. It is believed he
must have struck his head against one Of
the trolley poles when he fell. as the
bruises would seem to Indicate
There was considerable gloom among
the passengers on the train. most of
whom were tourists. when the motorman's
death became known. FornshilI reduced

have been wrecked and many killed or

NUMEROUS NEWS

From a newspaper standpoint. II
there is anything this town needs. its
another newspaper or two.
That is not speaking from the busi-

from the standpoint of those who

Strange to say competition does not
hurt the newspaper business, but
helps it. and be in understood at the
outset that any idea Of sarcasm is
fartherest from the mind OF the depo-

It's a little like the insurance busi-

there is by the keen competition that
we have enjoyed. The constant ef-
fort of the many agents work mp the

It's just that way with advertising

on the advertising public. These men
are usually the real advertisers. the

But with insurance, ten agents will

newspapers will talk in good deal

From Mondays Daily.
I went to Denver last week TO at
tend dinner given to Mr.. William
Allen White. by some Denver admir-
ers. The dinner was advertised by
the Democratic press as being an In
surgent Republican affair. But went
to pay my respects to Mr.. White. the
distinguished writer's and to hear him
talk.
Mr. White is one of the most inter
esting novelists and keenest political

papers had become to fear that
White, the insurgent. was q revolu-
tionist. preaching the doctrine OF dis
content and sowing the seed OF dis
loyalty to the Republican party. It's
really marvellous how fully and un-

that the insurgent movement. as Il Is

about this: The outs have gotten in
and now control the Republican party
in Kansas. They got in on modern
and progressive issues. chief OF which
is the anti-corporation rule issue. Be
cause the outs threw the ins out and
got in and because they sympathize
with certain insurgent movements
down at Washington. they are called
insurgents. Mr.. white says the In
surgents of Kansas are not Insurgents
at all. but are the regulars. because
they have won at every primary and

Capt. Thomas H. Edwards, one OF
the best known and most useful pris-
oners ever confined in the Colorado
State penitentiary, was released from
that institution at 1000 o'clock this
morning under expiration OF sentence
and will henceforth be a free man.
Edwards is in many respects re-
markable character and has seen
more of the world than usually falls
70 the lot of man kind. In the course
of an interview with the Daily Record
reporter this morning he related
many interesting facts in connection
with his life, some of which can hard
Iy fail to be entertaining to our read
ers:
Edwards was born in a mining camp
in New South Wales. Australia. on
July 16, 1874, and spent several years
OF his boyhhood in Washington and.
London. his father at that time repre-
senting the British government in
confidential capacity in this country
with headquarters at the national cap
ital. Although a naturalized citizen
of the United States Mr.. Edwards is
what might be termed a "cosmopo-
lite." or citizen of the world, for there
are few large areas on the earths sur-
face, except the polar regions, that
he has not traversed. In his younger
days he was as much at home in Zan-
zibar, or on the Zambezi, as he was in
England and America. For many years
he was a mining and civil engineer.
and, as a member oof the Royal Ben
gal engineers of the English army as
sisted in planning and construction OF
Notifications and other military work
for the government in India, Austria
liza, New Zealand, British China, So.
Africa and other parts Of the world.
He saw much service in India un-
DER General (Chinese) Gordon and
lost his right arm in the battle OF Tel
El-Kebar in the Soudan, when the
British army in Egypt rescued Khar-
oum from the forces OF the Mhadi in
one of the most terrible conflicts of
modern times. General Gordon. one
Of the most chivalrous soldiers OF the
ages, lost his life at Khartoum at the
hands OF the fanatical Arabs. than
whom. according to Captain Edwards.
there are no greater fighters ON earth
when spirred on by their faith In Is
lam and the immunities 1t offers to
those who die in the defense Of the
Koran and its tents.
Thirty years ago Captain Edwards
traversed Equatorial Africa over prac-
tically the same route as that SO re-
Gently covered by Ex-President Roose-
welt and party. At that time there
were no railroads in that quarter of
the world and the journey had to be
made with bullock carts. Captain Ed
wards served under Chinese" Cor
don for a period of nine months In
India before embarking on the Sou
dan campaign. which ended SO trium-
phantly for the British arms. Ed
wards took part in the Zulu war in
South Africa and in the Kaffir war
that preceded it. In the Mouri war
IN New Zealand he distinguished him
self for brilliant and daring achieve
ment, his conduct there winning for
him a medal from Queen Victoria.
In the United States he has proved
himself a skilful and capable man and
in the penitentiary he has accomplish
ed sufficient to leave lasting and
creditable monument to his memory
In the way of enduring structures.
