Much curiosity has been aroused in
the minds of the people Of Canon City
eoneernine the existence of a care
in the vicinity OF the Royal Gorge and
considerable interest has been mani-
tested in IT. Saturday morning ten
Boy Scouts in company with Scou;
Master. Dove. visited this cavern and
took in the sights. The following ae-
count OF the trip Is given By one OF
the party:
I'VE arrived at Gorge Station about
1880 O'Clock and rested for short
time. From there the difficulties o;
the "trip began Proceeding from
Gorge Station up the railroad track.
we soon came TO a small swinging
bridge across the river. We we're
forced to cross this bridge for there
IL no other way to cross over at the
point. The bridge is safe for crossing
but is rather shaky for the planks

are somewhat treacherous. The cables

climb OF. / would judge. seven hundred
feet. we arrived at the entrance of the
cave. And the fun began.
We were. Of course. rather careful
at first of the various holes for We
had heard of the PERCEPTIONS cavern
existing there and were as careful as
possible. The main entrance Of the
cave is. perhaps. ten feet long and
from six inches to three or four feet

compelled to stoop and almost crawl
To enter. Directly inside is small

right and the other to the left At the
back we found another cavern with
about such an entrance as the first.
In this one We found a small hole near
the bottom which ran under large
rock ten or fifteen feet.

tried the hole running to the left. Ty-

Conductor Riley Shot

AS No. 8 in charge of Conduct
or Riley was leaving Syracuse to-
night about midnight a masked mar
jumped in the rear Pullman with
the intention 1t is believed of hold
ing up the passengers. Conductor
Riley started through the car from
one direction and the porter
from the other. the bandit being be-
tween them. The latter started
to hold up the conductor but the
porter grabbed him from behind
pinning one arm to his side. The
pistol arm was free enough though
SO he was able to shoot Mr.. Riley
twice. both shots taking effect in
his body. The bandit broke loose
from the porter. whose hand was
badly cut by the trigger of the
gun, and pulled the bell cord. The
train slowed up and he escaped and
has not been captured yet. Another
conductor was on the train and
he took the train on to Denver. A
cot was rugged up for Mr.. Riley
and he was taken to the La Junta
hospital. where his wounds were
dressed and he is said to have a fail
show for recovery. Conductor Riley
has been Santa Fe conductor
through this valley for over twenty
years and he has host of warm
friends all along the line who sin
cerely hope for his recovery.
