MUST ACT QUICKLY If THE
INDIAN SJHUUL HERE GOES
TO THE STATE OF COLORADO

a dispatch received this afternoon
by The Sentinel from Washington
states that United States Senator
Guggenheim declared this morning
that unless Gov. Shafroth. of Colo
rado. calls the legislature together in
special session and embodies in the
call the determination to have action
taken on the tender of the United
States government to the state OF
Colorado OF the grounds and build
ings of the Grand Junction Indian
school and the school at TT. Lewis.
providing certain stlpulations are
met with, that the opportunity viii
soon be lost to the state forever.
This announcement is of vital ia.
terest to the citizens of Grand juno
ton.
The government has offered to
turn these schools. which are very
valuable property, over to the state
to be used for educational purpose,
which would mean that with the
s250,000 property here Grand juno
ton will be able to secure a big edu-
cational institution.
The people of this city desire the
government offer to be accepted bv
the state.
II Senator Guggenheim' STATE
ment Is true then action must be
taken at once and 1t is up to the peo-
pie here to get together and to get
busy on this proposition. Delay will
be costly and dangerous.
The Indian schools are to be aban-
doned as Indian schools after juno
lst, of this year.

INTENSE SUFFERING
IN THE STRICKEN CITY
IBy Associated Press. ]

Paris. Feb. 1.-The Seine river
fell steadily today and in the heart
of the city things resumed more near
ly their normal appearance. In the
outskirts, however, and in inundated
regions above and below the city the
greatest distress still prevails. Hun
dreds' of persons have been found on
the verge of starvation and persons
who have lost everything must be
aided for months. 1t is estimated
that more than quarter of million
persons have been affected by the
floods.
Freezing temperature adds to the
misery of the unfortunates. An at
tempt to resume railroad service be-
fore the electrical signal system has
been restored has resulted in a dozen
train collisions.

TWO BIG ENGINES PLUNGE
THROUGH BRIDGE REMARKABLE
AND FATAL WRECK ON GRANDE

Messages received by The Sentinel
this afternoon from Telluride tell of
a fearful and remarkable railroad
wreck that occurred last night near
Telluride, as the result of which two
big engines plunged through bridge,
one man was killed and three others
are seriously injured.
At 80 o'clock last night light
engine, running Just five minutes
ahead of heavy feright train, plung-
I'd through 80 foot span on the
Blk creek bridge, over San Miguel
river, not far form Vance Junction
station, the locomotive falling upon
one of the banks of the river. The
engine was No. II.
Albert c. Bickford, engineer, aged
3s years, was horribly crushed but
lived until 12:45 O'Clock last night.
John Compton, aged % years, fire
man, was badly hurt but will recover.
Four or five minutes after this en-
gine had pplunged through the
bridge, the freight came along, its
crew having no warning of the dang
er ahead Through the darkness the
freight sped. The engine reached
the broken span and plunged down
ward onto the other engine. The
eileo VI inc iHJuItu men anu tut llOlSe
Of escaping steam made the confusion
terrible.
The freight engine was No. 204.
Conductor Sid Jay was in charge.
Engineer S. w. Spalding. aged 23
years, and NJ. F. Garirbo, fireman,
aged 81 years, had remarkable es-
capes from instant death. Both were
very badly injured but it is believed
they will recover.
None of the freight cars went
through the bridge.
Both engines are badly demolished.
The loss to the road for damage to
rolling stock will amount to thou
sands of dollars.
Fireman Compton. of the light en-
gine, had both feet caught under his
locomotive and it was five hours and
n half before he could be eXtricated.
A special train left Telluride at 10
last night with a number of
doctors and nurses on board. The
injured men were taken to Telluride
as were also the remains of Bickford.
y Traffic is tied up today.
1t was one of the worst railway
accidents occurring in this section in
n long period.

The rainy spoil We bad during

ted in a very positive manner, the
necessity of improving our streets
in a manner more durable and
substantial than graded dirt
streets. Every street in the town
is cut up and have several inches
of deep. heavy mud, which makes
them almost impossible. The
few spots whore individuals have
used shells. are hard and dry.
which shows that if shells we're
extensively used upon our streets,
We would not be 90 much 10 mud.
After this spell is over and the
streets are dry, it will be necessa-
ry to work every one of them, and
in order to do good work with dirt
roads, it is necessary to use hea-
Wy roller in order to pack the dirt
hard when the grading is done,
raising the loose dirt to the centre
of the road without packing it
hard with a heavy roller, it is q
waste of money. The town au.
thorities should invest in several
thousands barrels of oyster shells
to use upon our streets which are
much in need of permanent i'm.
