and Placed in Jail

TELLURIDE, Aug. 20.-Vinton U.
Rodgers, the defaulting city treasurer,
spent last night behind prison bars,
having been arrested about II O'Clock
last evening with tragic conditions.
On the 9th of the month an arrange

and friends were to turn over $4,000
said to be in the bank, with an agree.
ment to raise $4,000 more, and with
this understanding the representative
OF the Fidelity Bonding company,
thought his company would advance
$4,000, thus making good to the city
the full amount of the shortage, but
1t required that the proposition be laid
in full before the head men of the
bonding company and to this end an
adjournment was taken for ten days in
order for the agent to go east and
present the matter. The bonding COM

commended by the agent and the coun-

works in charge of Mr. Anderson.
Here the party alighted and traversed
the line from that point to the top
of Reservoir mesa, or the Smith ranch.
Most of this distance the line has been
uncovered and is being placed In good
shape by additional bands where need.
ed which means fully doubling the
bands. AS rule the pipe line is in
good condition. the only bad places
being where water does not fill the
pipe and dry rot set in. In mile and
a half only half dozen such places
were encountered and then only for a
short distance. The main trouble has
been in rebanding and placing the pipe
on solid foundation at several points
on the side hill where the ground has
settled and slid. This defect promises
to be remedied hereafter as the pipe
is being placed on piers set on solid
rock and securely fastened to trees
on the mountain side by strong wire
cable SO that hereafter spring thaws
will have no effect on the pipe line.

Owing to the inclemency of the

interesting account OF HIS trip to the
crater of Mt. Vesuvius. The regular
lecture will be given early next week.
DIR. Phillips again proved Limseli to

are few of his experiences:
Leaving Naples he Travelled to Pom

gate. The cost of the ticket was p.
francs. When fhis sum was Offer cd

insisted on gold piece worth twenty
francs). In making the change The
ticket agent refused 20 give correct
amount until he found out he had
met one American VINO knew what ne
was talking about.
While in Pompeil he saw the streets
which had been uncovered. buildings
showing great artistic work, and men
at work excavating other ruins From
Pompeii to Vesuvius the distance Ia
seventeen miles. The guides wanted
IS TO take him up to Vesuvius, but he
had decided he would go alone and 20
on foot instead OF the usual way OF

He said he had climbed Pixies peak
and supposed he could climb that
thing tVesuvius). He Travelled five
miles through a vineyard OF grave
vines. In the little town and among
peasantry he found primitive customs
prevailing. In making wine, the peas.
ant rolled up his trousers aud trampled
the grapes and the juice then dripped
into sort of tub.
Proceeding further the speaker came
to lava beds where the real torment
began. He climbed and climbed and
came TO what looked like trail but
was only the bed of stream of hot
water After much climb, he finally
found trail. and there saw the In.
evitable guides. They wanted to take
him to the top for five francs Irregular
price az francs). After another heat
ed discussion the guide said 21z francs.
In course of time the top was reached
The crater was a mile wide and fully
] 500 feet deep; smoke was being emit
ted from the top.
From that point was seen a most
beautiful sunset. Below lay Naples
and the bay and across the bay was
the sinking sun. 1t all fully repaid
fr the risk and trouble of climbing
to the top. The descent was equally
torturous but the foot OF the hill was
finally reached.
