DEATH OF MRS. GEORGIA BRIGGS

The regret at the news OF the death
at Z O'Clock this morning of Mrs.
Georgia Briggs, the much loved teach
er of the little folks attending the
first primary grade in the high school
building, has been widespread. today.
Since the word came that she was Sc
riously i'll. there have been many in
quiries at this office and on the street
as to her condition. The public. and
especially the fathers and mothers
whose children she had taught. grieved
over the news OF her condition.
The sweetness OF nature which made
her pupils devoted to her endeared
her to the people Of the community
In which she lived and worked for .
number of years past. 1t was this too,
which explained her many deeds of
self-sacrifice, at which those who knew
her intimately often msrvelled. With
such a disposition, the last person she
would be likely to think of would nat.
urally be, herself.
Mrs. Briggs had mucn m the form
CT physical disadvantage to bear, but
strangely enough, her temperament
was SO eager and vivid that one soon
for got the material personality, be-
cause of the attractiveness Of the spir-
itual. Perhaps the most striking thing
about her was her happy life, In spite
OF circumstances which would have
discouraged and well nigh swamped a
less loving and courageous soul. There
are many uncrowned queens and brave
soldiers undecorated with the olive
wreath OF the legion of honor, and our
late friend was one Of these.
The remains are at the Hood under
taking parlors. Funeral arrangements
will be announced later. The pupils
In Mrs. Briggs room at school were
dismissed this morning. The children
will doubtless attend the funeral in a
hody.

Dick Martin was this afternoon
bound over to the district court on the
charge Of being an accessory to the
murder of former Night Marshal Ar
thur Goeglein, says the Telluride Jour
nal.
A warrant was sworn out several
days ago. and Martin came into the
city this morning. accompanied by
Deputy Sheriff Wilmarth. Mr.. Will
marth stated that Martin made NO de-
muir to appearing in court and was
not even placed under arrest.
The hearing was had before JUS
tice Updegraff. and as Martin waived
examination, he was bound over to
appear before the district court at the
first day of the next term. May 8. His
bond was placed at $1,000, which he
readily gave and was released. accom-
panying Mr.. Wilmarth back to Ophir
this afternoon.
The case rests upon the assistance
which Martin gave to Jesse Mum in
the latter's escape from the city after
shooting the night marshal. Martin
testified in the Mum trial that he ad-
yised and aided in the escape of the
murderer.

home at Fl. Wayne, Ind.

tensive investigation Of municipal mat
