HANKOW RECAPTURED
BY IMPERIAL TROOPS
Chinese Rebels Receive First
Setback and Imperialists'
Hopes Revive.

Pekin.-The Chinese revolutionists
received their first setback in their
successful uprising against the Man
chu dynasty when the Imperial troops
recaptured the city of Hankow after
an allday fight. The casualties of the
lmperialists amounted to abount 200
while the rebels lost 45O The Imper-
ialists marched into Hankow.
The report of an Imperialist victory
in the vicinity of Hankow, received
from the minister of war, General Yin
Chang, has revived the dropping spir
it's of the administration Additional
comfort has been found in the conclu-
sion of a loan agreement, which Chi
nese officials say has just been ar
ranged with Belgian syndicate, hav-
ing French and British connections.
The loan is for $1S,OOO,OOO, the price
being SO, with per cent interest The
syndicate receives 4 per cent commits
sion.
Two distinct parties have developed
among the Chinese. One embraces
the National Assembly, most of the
government officials in both provincial
and central government and also the
conservative business men This party
favors the continuance of the Man
chus on the throne, although with a
completely constitutional government.
The other party, led by WI Chang
and other rebels, aims at the expul-
sion of the Manchus from Pekin.

made trip to this wonderful natural

DENVER SCORES IN
FIRST POLO GAME

Denver won the first of the series of
polo games which started on the local
grounds on Thursday afternoon, the
final score being IA to 5a4.
The visitors did more playing along
the line of team work, which was to
be expected, as they have played to-
gether on previous occasions, while
Glenwood, on the other hand, had a
newly organized team. Denver also
had a fine bunch of ponies. Conse-
quently the Glenwood players were not
at all discouraged by their defeat, and
are looking forward to possible vic
tory in the second game of the series,
which will take place Saturday after
noon at 4 'clock
The game was played under the new
rules, which provide for eight periods
of seven and one-half minutes each.
Glenwood scored the first goal of the
game, in the first period, which was
matched by Denver few seconds after
ward. In the second period, Denver
hiu "detOio 'SiJ AAuSh A'o S"h 'Sy5
scoring two goals, and Glenwood for
feiting a quarter point for safety.
In the third period honors were fairy
even, each side scoring twice, and the
fourth was again evened with one goal
on each side. The fifth period was
Denver's with one goal. In the sixth,
Glenwood began to play up better,
matching goals with Denver, one each,
but Denver lost quarter point for a
safety, and in the seventh Denver was
again penalized, this time for foul.
The seventh and eighth periods de-
veloped some very fine playing. Both
were hard fought, and neither side
scored during these periods. Several
times one side or the other APPARENTLY
was about to score, only to have the
ball driven down the field till it came
near the opposite goal.
Glenwood's team were: Stephen,
Weaver, T. Baxter and H. Fisher. The
Denver team: Huston, Symes, Johnson.

FRED G. EWING RETIREs.

After twenty-four years in the drug
business in Glenwood Springs, Fred G..
Ewing this week disposed of his fine
drug store to J. H. Award of Rocky
Ford and the latter at once assumed
control and managegent of the business
which Mr.. Ewing has worked SO long
to bring to its present prosperous con-
dition.
Mr. Award is a registered and grad
uate pharmacist and has conducted a
drug store in Rocky Ford for over ten
years. He has been over Idaho and
other western states looking up loc1-
ton, and when he reached Glenwood
he said it looked good enough for him
to select as a future home.
Mr.. Ewing says he will remain a
citizen of Glenwood and continue to
boost for the town. For some time
he has felt that it would be neces-
sary soon for him to retire from active
participation in business affairs aud
especially the confining, indoor routine,
owing to the condition of his health. He
does not know what he will finally en-
gage in, but for the next few months
he will try to rest.

RANGE CATTLE ARE LATE.

of the usual fall run of sattle that

there has been disappointment. James

pect. If I were addicted to forecastins
1 would say that we would get but few
cattle and little beef. You will notice
that usually about this season we get
a few early strings from Montana and
South Dakota in splendid beef condi
tion, and that before they show up
we hear lot of talk about how good
they are. This year none of that hes
aiding has been done, and 1 have a
hunch that there IS a reason. When the
season is over it is very probable thas
it will be a disappointment both to
shippers and killers A few lots ct
western cattle from the Black Hills
region reached Chicago on Monday, bu.
they were refugees from dry coun

Father Walsh of Grand Valley made
an eloquent address-in instaIlments.
He started at the beginning of the ban
quet, but the noise forced him to de
sist. He tried again and was again
disturbed. He is good talker and
very optimistic as to the western slope
country and especially the Grand and
Roaring Fork valleys. He referred
feelingly to Col. Kenneth L, Fabn-
stock of Leadville, who a few months
ago presided over a similar meeting
at Grand Valley, and now was lowering
between life and death. He proposed
that the audience rise and drink to Col
Fahnstock's return to health and this
was done.
