SHOW OLD ROMANCE

Revealing an unusual amount OF
romance and melodramatic situation
is the will contest in the case OF
Christopher Lambrecht which open
ed in the district court this morn
ing. Because of the contest 1t may
be that Mrs. Augusta Rahbers of
New York who is alleged to be q
daughter of Lambrecht. will share
well in the estate of 100000 which
was left by Lambrecht who was kill
ed near Baileys last July when the
handcar on which he was riding was
struck by a train. Lambrecht came
to Denver in 1859 and went thence
to Fort Lupton in the early sixties,
where he engaged as a horse shoer.

living in Germany and that she COM

hunt the world over If necessary to
find her father. 1t is said that after
nearly quarter of century's search
that she found Lambrecht and that
he went to New York where, it is al
legged, he gave her several thousand
dollars. with the understanding that
this was her share of the estate.
Lambrecht left in his will 81 to
Mrs. Rahbers and it is now to re-
cover what she claims is her share
of the estate that the suit has been
brought The bulk of the property
was left to three sons and three
daughters in this state.
The case was called this morning
and dismissed till September as a

TRYING TO FIND OUT
IDENTITY OF WOMAN

Kersey. June l4.-The CHASTITY
find of the Burlington engineers last
Friday has caused stir in the
town and everybody is putting forth
a theory to solve the mystery The
fact that the skeleton is that OF
female adds deeper mystery and the
prevailing theory Is that the wo-
man. whoever she was. was the vic
tim of a murder. The skeleton.
from the appearance of the bones
and teeth, is many years old and
only the old timers would be able
to recolect any disappearance mys-
terry that might have connection

Dean Hallowoll of the Normal
school at Lewiston is authority for
the statement that the student body
there has a greater average mileage
than any other other normal in the
United States or the $50 students
they average 119 miles in going to
school, If only the students living
outside of Lewiston are counted, the
average mileage is much higher, be-
ing 221 miles. In brief, those stu
dents going to the Lewiston Normal
for outside points make an average
trip of 221 miles. Some go but 20
miles, some 500 and one over 1000
miles. This last is Miss Hammond
of May Idaho. her total mileage by
stage and rail being 1922. The splen-
did reputation. of the State Normal
school at Lewiston has resulted in
attracting students from all sections
of Idaho, as well as eastern Oregon
and eastern Washington The in

are. this ghost Of a coal famine comes
regularly from the shades to cause
SILVER to chase itself up and down
the spinal columns of the average
citizen. It has been quite the regu-
lar thing for the last four or FIVE
years.
Another noticeable thing is that
along with the regular and persistent
coal shortage the price has steadily
advanced.
There seems to be-or at least the
average citizen meditating on the CO.
medicines has more than a faint
suspicion that there is-a method in
this management better calculated
to bring increased wealth to the coal
dealers than confidence, happiness
and peace to the consumer.
What other conclusion can rea-
sonabie person arrive at? Here is
regular and persistent coal short
age without any apparent reason and
here is the increased price. Cold
logic seems to point to the coal
dealer and to say with Just a tinge
of menace in the tone: Thou art
the man."
OF course, the rejoiner OF the
accused is easy and comes tripping
readily from the tongue: "Consum-
ers should buy coal in the summer
time" But to this there is the re-
joiner that the summer prices are so
little below the normal fall and win
ter prices that no advantage is gained
and. besides. in case of summer pur-
chases, the slack is all on the con-
sumer Storing OF coal for six months
is productive of no little waste.
IL people are confronted from
year to year with a famine in one of
the absolute necessities. together
with an increasing price, is it any
wonder that they should have a sus-
picion that something is extremely
malodorous in our diminutive Den
mark2
People do not complain at rea4
sonable increase of price to make
up for the slack and loss occasioned
by keeping coal in storage in large
quantities What they do complain Of
and what they have a right to com
plain of, even with bitterness and
invective is that with money 10 nav
even an Unreasonable price for coal
to keep their wives and little ones
comfortable and to prevent them
from suffering, they cannot get it.
And this situation borders very
close upon the criminal. Il is caIcu-
lated to, create a public demand for

a community must need suffer as
