The policemen, city sprinkler driv-
ers and city teamsters will not be
granted the increase of salary they
demanded in petition to the city
council presented two weeks ago.
This was made known at last nights
meeting of the city council when a
report of the finance committee was
made and 1t was unfavorable to the
demand on account of the fact that
no appropriation had been made and
all of the money appropriated for the
city departments was inadequate to
meet the demands that are being
made upon 1t now. The policemen
asked for an increase of $15 per
month, and the sprinklers and team
sters asked for $40 increase and a
wage by the day of $3.50. When ad-
vised by City Attorney Peterson that
the council had no power to increase
the appropriations of the depart
ments except in case of emergency
the proposition was reduced to letting
some of the men employed by the
city out. This was not considered.
None of the sprinklers could be re-
duced as the number is insufficient

Colorado during the early SOS. He
was prominent conductor on the
same line for number of years and
retired from railroad work to enter
the governments employ in the post
office department in 1886.
In 1896 he was honored by being
one of five inspectors who were call
ed to Washington and ordered to es-
tablish rural routes. He put several
into operation, one at Tempe, Ariz.,
and another at Loveland, Colo. The
one at Tempe is said to be the first
rural free delivery route established
in the United States. Many times
when the success of the rural de-
livery system was hanging in the
balance and the organization was
tottering, he was called into confer
ence and asked as the best course to
pursue and his advice invariably
proved to be correct.
For years Mr.. Frederick had
charge of the routine work of the
Denver division of the postoffice de-
partment One of his most notable
achievements as postoffice inspector
was the recovery in 1897 of $14, ZOO

INSPECTOR FREDERICK DEAD;
HE WAS WELL KNOWN HERE

Arthur p. Frederick, frequent
ly "a visitor to this city on official
business and well known here, a
pioneer railroad man and post
office inspector of Colorado, died
at his home in Denver Monday
night. His death came sudden
ly thirty minutes after eating
hearty meal, and was the result
of injuries received in runaway
accident near Bland, Colo, last
Thursday afternoon.
Mr.. Frederick, in 1896, laid out
the first rural route that was estab-
lished in the West, and one of the
first in the country, and was one of
the pillars of this branch of the fed
eral government during its embryo
stage. He was 65 years old.
Last Thursday afternoon Mr.. Fred
erick drove from Madison to Bland
and inspected the postoffice at the
latter place, and was on his way back
to Madison when the accident oc-
Cured which ultimately caused his
death. The bolt holding the double
tree to the tongue broke, letting them
down on the horses feet, and the
team started to run. Mr.. Frederick
lost control of the horses and they
dashed madly toward Madison. With
In mile of the town Mr.. Frederick
was thrown out of the swaying bug
gy. Three ribs were broken and he
was injured internally, the serious
ness of which was not realized until
his death.

life Was spent In railroad work, pro-

In the spring of 1881 a coach on
the rear of mixed train rolled into
the gorge near this place, taking
three or four freight cars with 1t.
The wrecked cars were burned, no at
tempt being made to recover them.
and for several years the iron work
was visible from passing trains above,
a forcible reminder of the grewsome
tragedy. Finally the wheels and iron
were covered with dirt and rocks and
hidden from view.
If memory serves us, there were
eight persons in the car, of whom but
one, Roy F. Wrigley, a prominent
mine operator in Marshall basin in
the sos, escaped alive. After lying
unconscious for some time on the
steep slope about 100 feet below the
track, he recovered his senses, badly
cut and bruised, with a broken nose
the most serious of his injuries. About
10 feet distant from him was the
body of a young Swedish woman on
her way from her native land to join
her miner husband at Silverton. Ev-
identity d set of car trucks had rolled
over her, cutting the body completely
in two Just above the hips.

eu tiit income very DauIy.
He put the unusual number of l SO
smudge pots, big and small coal
burners, to every acre of his orchard,
twice as many pots as is deemed
necessary. Friday evening, just as
soon as the temperature began to
drop, he and his helpers lighted his
pots and they literally converted that
orchard into a turkish bath house.
Jack Frost had no show for hours.
However, in spite of desperate eff
forts to get all the necessary fuel de-
livered before hand, big load or two
of coal bought from dealer in Grand
Junction, was not delivered during
the day, Friday, but the dealer prom
ised by all that was high and holy
that he would have the coal delivered
in the orchard during the evening.
He went to bed and did not keep his
promise.
During the early hours of Satur-
day morning, after he had success
fully combatted the frost for many
hours. the orchardist found himself
short of fuel and became almost fran
tic. He made desperate effort to
keep his pots going but along about
$3.50 and 6 o'clock, the most critical
period, the fires went low for lack of
fuel. the temperature, fell very low
and the crop was fearfully damaged,
in fact the greater part of 1t was lost
in spite of the desperate efforts made
by the orchardist and all because a
coal dealer failed to make good. 1t
is too bad that the coal dealer does
not have to stand the loss.
