GLENWOOD WOMAN
DROPS FROM SIGHT
Ellen Anderson Leaves keck
Home Under Mental Strain
Returned Yesterday
NO REASONS GIVEN

Miss Ella Anderson, who for the
past three months has been employed
as a domestic in the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. @. NJ. Keck, disappeared abou,
1890 Wednesday night and completely
dropped out of sight causing the keckS
and other friends of the young woma't
much concern as to her whereabouts.
every effort was made to discover the
whereabouts of the girl, but when it
seemed that all efforts in this direc
tion would be without reward she
was found yesterday in large box
in wagon shed at the Biersched home
on Colorado avenue.
was found n a large box in a wagon
shed at the Bierschied home on Colo
rado avenue
The discovery was accidental and
was caused by an unusual commotion
on the part of the chickens, and Mrs.
Bierschied s effort to learn the cause
thereof. When she went to the shed
she found the unfortunate girl crouch
ing in the box but to all her entreat-
les Miss Anderson refused to answer
ana would not come out of the box.
Finally Mr., Keck was sent for and
after talking to the girl for over TWEEN
ty minutes with scarcely an answer .vr
sentence on her part he succeeded
in drawing from her the admission that
she had been to Grand Junction, having
gons desn on Wednesday nights train
wood on No Friday morning. she
said she had had nothing to eat since
Thursday and it was evident that she
had suffered from hunger and expos
ure.
Finally after much coaxing and the
assurance to the girl that Mrs. Keck
was not mad at her Mr.. keck succeed
ed in having her come out of the boS
and go into the Bierscnled home, where
she is resting quietly and being given
the best of care.
The case of this young woman IS
very mysterious and her friends do not
know how to explain it. just before
she left Mrs. Keck's and when she
came home she seemed to be laboring
under severe mental strain. Her
face was pinched and drawn and ft was
easy to see that she was suffering in
tense mental agony. For some time it
had been noticed that she was not en-
ioying normal mental equilibrium. She
was forgetful and at times would be
come somewhat hysterieal. Soon after
she reached home Wednesday evening
she came down stairs, rushed out of
the house and into the alley and before
the members of the family could fully
realize it she was gone.
An effort was made to follow her
by Miss Bierschied who was at the
home of Congressman Taylor, but she
lost sight of her in the neighborhool
of the City drug store and, so far as.
could not be learned, the girl was not
aagin seen by anyone in Glenwood

After some music the visitors were
invited to the barbecue where a feast
was spread before them which was
greatly enjoyed by all. This was one
of the most popular features of the
days program.
After the elmer man. had been
satisfied the visitors went at will. near
ly all availing themselves of the op-
portunity to inspect the mammoth
marble mill where the immense prod
uct of the quar.es is put into mar
ketable shape. The great paners, the
rubbing beds, the polishing tables and
the mammoth lathes and diamond saws
were source of intense interest to
the visitors, many of whom had for
years contemplated a visit to this great
industry.
Interesting field sports furnished
amusement for many, while a baseball
game between Marble and Glenwood
teams held the lovers of the national
game for two hours, resulting in
score of 10 to 9 in favor of GIeuwood.
Then there was more music aud more
dancing and in the. evening magnifi-
cent exhibit of fireworks fired from
the mountain side some distance out of
town.
A big celebration was held at New
Castle in which about 200 of our citi-
zens participated. Rulison. some miles
lower down, also gave proper observ-
ance of the day, while Eagle county
celebrated in royal fashion at Gypsum.
1t is estimated that almost 500 of
the residents of GlenwOod celebrate
the day away from home, either in as
sisting nearby towns to enjoy the day
or in quiet rest along some OF the
mountain streams.

WESTERN SLOPE NEEDS POWER

From the Grand river near Genwood
Springs the Central Colorado Power
company has stretched its Lines for 300
miles across a country almost barren
for its utilities in order to get into
Denver. Its towers number hundreds
perhaps thousands. Its development
and Improvement expenses have
amounted to millions.
All this has been done while the bulk
of the western slope has been crying
for power. This territory could be
reached from its developing plant with
in one-third the distance it has covered
to Denver. If its generating plant IS
not sufficient there. the Gum son river
could run hundreds of turbines of
countless, horse power in the midst of
our new distributing territory.
Of course there are others beside the
Central Colorado Power company. Our
power will be developed and among
other uses a network of electric rail
roads will cover the counties of the
western slope within a few years.
Why have we been forced to wait
so long Delta Independent.

and Trustee Smith said Korn's walk

eral acts had established precedent
in this respect and he was not in favor
of an exception at this time. Aft

that they had not given Mr.. Korn his

made a kick against the Hot Springs
company's man, claiming that some
of his conduct had been unbecoming an

of Mr.. Jardine, Howard could only
vaguely refer to some hearsay evi-

MINTURN TRAGEDY
COSTS Two LIVES
Edgar Cox, Without Warning,
Shoots Wife and Then
Turns Gun on Self.
DEED IS A MYSTERY

About noon last Sunday the town of
Minturu suffered double tragedy, the
like of which the little railroad town
has never known, and which thoroughly
shocked the citizens of that ordinarily
quiet community.
Edgar Cox and his wife and Mrs.
| Cox s mother and sister, Mrs. Duncan
and Miss Alma Duncan, had just seated
themselves at the dinner table in the
Cox home when Cox arose suddenly
and without immediate warning to the
others and going into bedroom soon
returned and beat with the gun his
mother in-law who attempted to thwart
his murderous designs Then he shot
his wife, hitting her in the top of tae
head, the bullet ranging downward and
causing almost instant death. Seeing
that his purpose had been accomplish
ed, he turned the gun on himself and
sent bullet into his brain, expiring
instantly.
BY this time Miss Alma Duncan. who
had fled from the house at the first
sight of Cox with the gun, returned
with some of the neighbors, but they
arrived too late as the two bodies
We're then lying on the floor sweterino
in their own blood. Mrs. Cox was still
alive, but a doctor arriving soon after

all human help and she expired in a
few minutes. never regaining conscious
ness after receiving the fatal shot
Mrs. Cox had been in Glenwood for
several weeks where she was employed
as waitress at the Hotel Glenwood
Cox visited her here last week and
she returned home with him
There are two stories as to the
tragedy and what led up to it. The
one is to the effect that Cox was in
sanely jealous of his wife and that
they had frequently quarreled, that
they quarreled in Glenwood Just before
leaving here and that it was only after
much persuasion that Cox could induce
his wife to return home with him, and
that the killing of last Sunday was
but the outbreak of prolonged do
nestle quarrel.
This statement is positively denied
by Mrs. Duncan and others who claim
that the terrible deed was committed
by Cox while suffering from an alb
normal mental strain as a result of a
severe spell of sickness which it is
thought had temporarily destroyed his
reason and sense of responsibility.
At the coroner's inquest Mrs. Dun
can said she did not blame her sonin
law for his awful deed as she knew
that at the time he was perfect
demon through the unbalanced mental
condition brought about by illness.
After hearing the evidence a cor
oner's jury returned verdict to the
effect that Mrs. Minnie Cox came to
her death from gunshot wounds infflict-
ed by her husband, and that he came
to his death by his own hand.
Interment was in Evergreen ceme-
terry at Leadville, Wednesday. July g.

D. 8. James came down from his
Roaring Fork rancvh Thursday an l
among other business transacted sold
score of young geese to Elmer Lucas
who is always on the lookout for the
best things for his guests at the Hotel
Colorado. Last year James took $4,000
from 30 acres of spuds, harvested in
August and the prospects now are that
he will beat that record this year by
nearly two to one. Tho potato crop
in the Carbondale country is good this

Some Task.

The Office manager turned to the

the next room and look up 'collab-

The boy disappeared and didn't re-
turn. The manager put the letter
aside and took up some other duties.
Presently he remembered the boy and
went out to look for him. He found
the lad studying the big dictionary
with great intentness.
"What are you doing, GeorgeF he
asked.
The boy looked around.

Fixinq the Lesson.

Parson Saunders was a little per-
turbed one Sunday morning over some
worldly matter and made a mistake
in the reading of the Scriptural les
IONS. He read the second lesson
where he should have read the first,
AS he neared the end of his reading
the parson saw that he was in error.
He saw that his congregation knew
he was in error. How, then, to con-
clude? To conclude in the orthodox
way-"here endeth the second lesson
would hardly do, as it was not the sec
ond lesson, but the first. Nor, could
it, on the other hand, be called the
first lesson since properly it was the
second? Parson Saunders, after a mo,

concluded:
