WILLIAM TOOLE
IS DEAD IN
TENNESSEE
Former Deputy County Treas.
urer Finally SuCCumbS to
Dread White Plague,

This morning Mr.. John f. Lowe
received a telegram telling him of
the death of William Toole, which
occurred at Knoxville, Tenn. the
night of December 25th While this
news was no surprise ii brought sad
ness to the hearts of Mr. Toole's many
warm. personal friends and admirers
in this city.
William Tool came to this valley
six years ago. full of hope and eXpec-
tation, but bearing the marks of
that persistent, insidious affliction
which drives so many to the arid west
with hope.
He secured employment on a
ranch for the first six months with
Mr.. II. o. Kaiser, and he made
friends and he made good. Recog-
nizing the sterling worth of the boy.
the late w. f. White procured his
services for the White Mercantile Co.
and here Mr.. Toole extended his
friendships and proved his value in
mercantile circles When NJ. NJ
Shores went into the county treasur-
er's office, he sought the best ma
terial to aid him in handling this
large and one of the most important
offices of the county. Mr. Toole
went into the office as one of the as
sistants and soon became the chief
deputy. For four years he came in
contact with the public and he prov
ed 10 be one of the most efficient
and popular aids any treasurer of the
county has ever had
When he retired with Mr.. Shores
frcm the office, his health had be-
gun to fail. The six years battle
against the encroachments of tuber-
culosis had reached the critical turn.
and despite his brave and hopeful
fight, the young man began to lose.
Four months ago, recognizing the
inevitable result, he left the valley
for his old home in Tennessee, to fin
ish the fight, and to close what had
been promising, useful and long
life. Among the friends and amid
the scenes of his boyhood. on Christ
mas night, he passed away.
He formed a warm attachment for
this valley, and loved it because he
felt that it's fine climate had pro-
longed his years, and had given him
much of life's pleasures during his
six years of sojourn here.
He has many friends here who
will long cherish fond memories of
their endearing associations with
him. Always hopeful. always gen.
ial; seeing the brightest and best in
everything; true as a friend; fair
and honorable in his dealings with
all men. his life, now closed to him.
is rich heritage to those who drew
close to him.

Burglars Discard
Valuable Papers to
A uoidLeauingC Clue

The burglars who robbed the home
OF Mrs. w. NJ. Lewis at 545 Hill ave-
nue. Christmas eve threw away a box
containing about $500 worth of ne
gotiable drafts and valuable papers,
evidently fearing detection if they
attempted to realize cash on the docu-
ments They threw the box contain
ing the papers, into the plowed
ground of the Children's park on
Gunnison avenue where it was found
yesterday morning.
The Lewis home was robbed of
about S45 in money and jewelry
sometime between 1880 and $3.50 p.
m. Tuesday.
1t is thought the robbers entered
the house by means of skeleton key.
No trace of the guilty parties has
been found Things in the Lewis
home had been pretty thoroughly
ransacked, the criminals evidently
knowing that Mrs. Lewis was at the
Christmas exercises at the Methodist
church.
AS soon as the robbery was discov-
cred, Mrs. Lewis notified the police,
who made immediate investigation
but have been unable as yet to find a
direct clew.

SCRAP PUTS TWO
IN POLICE COURT

The gods Mars and Bacchus di-
vided honors in Mayor Todd's court
this afternoon. Those inclined to
take Kris Kringle season as a period
of interior eNhiliration were rounded
up by the blue squad last night and
tagged for court investigation. The
god of War and the god of the Wine
Cup, were heavy contenders in the
municipal dice box.
The first case to come before the
court was that of well known local
youth charged with being drunk and
disorderly. He plead guilty. The
next tease was a brakeman charged
with lighting on the public streets.
He plead not guilty and was proven
so, due to the fact that he acted in
self defense. A repeating unfortu-
nate was declared guilty of consum-
ing some two quarts of Denver gin.
during the holiday week aud was
fined $40 and costs. which he failed
to produce and was turned back into
the drying room.
The story of the melee, which oc-
Cured in front of the Auditorium last
night and which was the main event
in the court docket, was unravelled.
1t seems that one local Young man
was drunk. He admitted it. He ear
ried wicked little 20 caliber auto
matte. He admitted it, He was in
no condition to either carry a gun or
fight we'll. He admitted ii. The ac-
cepted testimony proved that he act
ed in such a manner towards a local
lady that a well known brakeman
took offense and pushed him gently
away with a thousand pound push
topen hand style.) Later they met
in front of the dance hall and the
railroad man either saw the other
fellow draw the vicious little gun or
thought he did and let fly with n
vigorous swing to the jaw flooring
the alleged insulter.
The next move was en- masse,
against the brakeman. as half n dozen
of the PROSTATE youths friends
jumped into activity and proceeded
to damage the railroad mans face as
much as possible with fists, feet and
other things. This fracas was stop
ped by the appearance of an officer
who scattered the crowd.
Seven minutes later the enemies
met again about two lots nearer
Fruita and engaged in another
strenuous grievance meeting The
officer arrived again and confiscated
both scrappers TO the city, digging
the little cannon out of the boys
hip pocket. In view of the evidence
the court found the brakeman not
guilty because he acted in self de-
fense and the local man laid fine of
$25 and trimmings on the marble
top of the police magistrates desk
A Pomona man, wso found mixed
drinks, had his debate with Mayor
Todd in the morning and the affir-
native won. Pomona paid over the
necessary s15.60.
The fourth man to look the judge
in the fact was local tailor who
laid aside the needle yesterday to
enjoy some goods he had brought
down from Glenwood recently. He
paid over the necessary $15.60 and
went back to his work.
The police court has not been so
busy in years and Mayor Todd is
hoping it will not be so again for
some more years. The city is con-
richer and four local men
are sorry for their celebrations today. |

need existed, and, in all, g fam

splendid organization.
