The local Y. NJ. C. A. BOYS easily
defeated the pligh school team last
Friday evening at the local school
gym The game was too one sided
to be real interesting, the high school
team being greatly weakened by the
loss of Weidenhammer who has here
tofore played with them in all their
contests. The score at the close stood
56 to 24. 1t is said that the next
game of the Y. NJ. c. AS. will be with
the Crystal Club of Aspen at this
| place.
| Harley Shannon, 30 years of age
and brother of Connie Shannon the
barber, died early Tuesday morning at
the Glenwood santarium from pulmon-
ary trouble The young man came to
this country about six weeks ago from
his home in Ashland, Tenn in the hope
that he might be benefited by the
change in climate but the effect of the
| change was more in the nature of 4
shock than otherwise. The body was
shipped to the old home by Morti-
clan Farnum.
John White, for many years one of
the prominent citizens of Pitkin coun-
ty, is residing temporarily in Glenwood.
Mr.. and Mrs. White made trip last
fall to their former home near Pitts.
| burg and also visited friends in Indi-
ana but they were glad to get back
where they could enjoy the Colorado
climate. Mr.. White says in the Monon-
gahela valley there are now so many
coke ovens in operation that the entire
! atmosphere is filed with SCOT and that
the farmers in picking apples come in
at noon with their hands as black as
coal. When they cut and shock their
corn their clothes soon look like those
worn by an engine wiper, so thorough
y is the atmosphere permeated with
dirt and SCOT. Little wonder that after
short visit with friends the Whites
were glad to return to enjoy the clear
skies and pure air Of Colorado.
