John Peterson. the express messen.
ger who has been blockaded on this
side of the range ever since Saturday,
is the oldest messenger in the employ
of the Globe Express. Mr.. Peterson
is entitled to the best run the com

with all its seeming drawbacks. Since

washouts, he has come to Durango
every fifth day. He has been in a
number of accidents and always es-
capped without injury Usually he has
succeeded in saving the express in
his charge. although at times he has

tainly a man who has filled such a
difficult position successfully for so
many years is deserving of much
oroJi.
