last night at Hotchkiss. Funeral ser

passing a number of bad checks. and

sentenced to serve three months in the
county Jail. The diamond ring which
he secured from j. C. Kreamer was re-

Thomas Gregory who was SO badly
burned, is getting along nicely and
has good chance of complete recovery.
For time it was thought that he had
lost the sight of one eye. but that dan
