d & r. G. CHANGES DUE WHEN
BUSH MAKES DENVER VISIT

Benjamin F. Bush, new president
of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad,
is expected to visit Denver within
the next two or three weeks, and to
spend considerable time looking over
the new property, of which he is the
directing head.
In the meantime, it is understood
that there will be no changes in the
operating or executive departments of
the road. The belief among railroad
men in Denver is that no general man.
ager will be named to succeed Horace
w. Clarke until President Bush him
self visits Denver. At that time it is
understood that number of import
ant changes will be made.
President Bush will retain his head
quarters in st. Louis, from which city
he has directed the affairs of the
Missouri Pacific. There will be no
consolidation of the d. & r. G. and
Missouri Pacific, at least for the pres
ent, through the working arrangement
between the two systems will, quite
naturally, be more effectively carried
out by reason of their being each un-
der the guiding influence of the same

MAKE RICH HAUL
IN FERRIS BROS. STORE
LAST SUNDAY NIGHT.

Last night burglars broke into Fer
ris Brothers dry goods store and
stole about $500 worth of their goods.
When Mr.. Ferris opened the store at
1880 this morning, he noticed that the
goods on the shelves had been disar-
ranged and upon making an investi-
cation he found that thieves had bro
ken through one of the windows in
the rear end of the building and car
ried away four suit cases which they
filled with all kinds of silk handker-
chiefs, ladies coats and jewelry. Be
fore going away they also took time
to fit themselves with hats and shoes,
and there was other evidence to show
that they were in no hurry about it.
The evidence consisted of blood stains
that smeared the boxes that contained
the hats and shoes which proves that
the burglars cut their fingers when
they broke the windows.
The sheriff and the marshal were
at once notified, and the shoe tracks
VI StlS were easily lOilOWeu
through the new fallen snow from the
broken window to the corner of the
alley on Seventh street, and there
the trail was lost The tracks were
made by number six shoes and as
the snow was still falling at 12 o'clock
it is plain that the store was burglar
lied after that hour.
James Brown, the d. 4 r. G. ticket
agent, did not sell tickets to any sus
picious characters for the early trains
and the officers feel that the burglars
are still in this neighborhood, and that
they will soon be apprehended. We
sincerely hope that Mr.. Farris will
recover his goods and that the men
who broke into his store will be land
ed in Jail. The men who commit such
dastardly crimes should be made to
feel that Durango is not safe place
for them.

DIVORCE OVER KISS TICKET.

The finding of little yellow cou-
pom, emitting the holder to five kiss
es, in her husbands pocket, was the
cause which led up to the securing of
a divorce by Mrs. Henrietta Quinn,
who was married to James Quinn, a
Denver G. Rio Grande engineer, in
July, 1907. Mrs. Quinn appeared be,
fore County Judge Dunn Wednesday
and was given a divorce after she
had presented to the court the yellow
coupon and related the facts incidental
to its discovery.
The coupon bore the following in
formation:
"This coupon entities the holder
thereof to five kisses. If returned
when used up, there will be given in
exchange a green coupon emitting
the holder to ten kisses and four hugs.
The return of the green coupon, when
filled out, will be good for red con-
pom, which entities the holder to 50p
kisses and 100 hugs."-Denver News.

SMALL FIRE IN COURT HOUSE

Shortly before 10 o'clock last night,
Justice Kelley discovered the court
house was on fire. He ran to the
fire house, only half block away ana
notified the chief. In less than three
minutes the department had the big
hose attached to the plug across from
the court house and water playing on
the flames, which had started in the
jury room, but were just breaking
through the clock tower. The fire was
quickly extinguished but not until it
had btirned hole about six feet long
and two feet wide in the floor, tn,
damage being estimated at about $50.
Mr.. Kelley's promptness in giving
the alarm and the efficient work of
the fire department doubtless saved
the court house. The jurors who were
seated in the building at the time
were not aware of the fire until the
department arrived on the scene.
The fire is supposed to have started
from cigar stub one of the jurors
threw into one of the sawdust filled
wooden boxes that does duty as a
conspidor.
