TWO GIRLS DIE ON
EVE OF A PARTY

Sentinel Special Service.
Chicago, Mar. 4.-One the eve of a
party arranged to celebrate their dou-
BILE engagement, Miss Marie Seiger
and Miss Margaret Mills were found
asphyXiated in their home at 527
West 116th street. Gas escaping
from frozen pipe had overcome them
while asleep.
Customers arriving at the grocery
store in which the young women had
worked and which was owned by Miss
Seliger, found the place closed. The
police investigated and battered down
the doors, when an odor of gas was
detected.
Miss Mills, who worked as a clerk
in the store, was about to announce
her engagement, it is said, to a young
man from the east. Miss Seliger had
also decided to celebrate her recent
betrothal. Accordingly, invitations
to party set for tonight had been
sent out several days ago.

The Vanadium Ores Mining &

ploitation of their group of claims
of rare minerals near Cisco, Utah,

ing.
The charter has been received and

lied at $1,0O0,000.
Tonight the directors will make
plans for the construction of a road
from the property to the railroad.
1t is probable that road either to
Sagers switch or to Thompson $
Springs will be decided on, and, if so,
the road will be built at once.
This will provide an outlet for the
valuable ores, and later in the year
1t is the intention of the company to
put in a large reducing plant in this
city.

STORMS
To PLAN WORK
ON THE SUMMIT
Engineers of Rio Grande Solving the
Problems of Double Tracking tie
Line ON Crest of Continent
Under Adverse Weather.

On the backbone of the American
continent, amid snow and wind, for
the past three weeks, a large Rio
Grande engineering corps has been
at work. Regardless of the cold
weather, its experts are working out
the problems of Misunderstanding and
OF reducing the heavy grade over Sol
dier summit, where about $4,000, 900
will be spent by the Rio Grande dur
ing the next two years, says the Dem
yer Times.
Between Cotton and Tucker sta
tions the mountain rises 2,237 feet
in 7.3 miles. 1t is this sudden rise
that makes operation of the freight
trains difficult. a 4 per cent grade
must be reduced to per cent, and
the engineers are studying the most
economical way to do it.
The steadily increasing traffic on
the Rio Grande makes reduction OF
grade necessary. The new manage
ment of the system has determined
without delay.
Chief Engineer Gwyn's men have
been ordered to make their surveys
and work out the problems at once
without regard to weather. Just as
quickly as their report is made and
approved, work will begin. Presi-
dent b. F.. Bush is eager to have the
improvements made as soon as pos
sible.
Heavy freight trains will be en-
abled to come smoothly over the con-
tinental divide, and without waiting
for other trains on switches will pass
on separate tracks down the opposite
slope of the Rockies when the Soldier
Summit tracks are doubled and re-
duced in grade.
This costly improvement is typical
of the aggressive spirit being dis
played by the new management of
the Denver & Rio Grande system.

MAY STAGE SECOND RYAN-DUCRAY BOUT HERE
DUKE POSTS $500 THAT SPRINGS man CAN'T
REPEAT-MAKES HIT WITH EASTERN SLOPE SPORTS

Despite the fact that he lost to
Tommy Ryan in his match last Fri
day in Colorado Springs, Frank Du-
Cray of this city made a hit with
the fans of that town. He admitted
being defeated, and declared tina. the
loss of the bout was wholly fair, and
that he had nothing OF which to com
plain.
Fuller details of the bout than
The Sentinel was able to secure Sat
urday are given by the Colorado
Springs Gazette, which has the fol-
lowing to say about the match:
Tommy Ryan won the wrestling
championship of the western states
last night by defeating Frank Du
Cray of Grand junction in oas OF
the most spectacular mat contests
ever witnessed in this city.
Ryan won the first fall in "a
minutes and 10 seconds with scis-
sors and arm hold, and Du Cray took
the second fall in IL minutes and 20
seconds with a half nelson and lar.
Ryan won the deciding fall with a
scissors and arm hold in minutes
The match was sensational, and
the men set a fast and furious pace
from start to finish. The work OF
both contestants brought the house
to its feet time after time.
"DuCray wrestled in his bare feet,
a novelty to local fans, and by doing
so kept Ryan from getting the toe
hold, at which he is an expert. Ry-
an would try for a toe hold, but
would be unable to keep it, as the
Grand Junction man was too slip.

vious engagements marked him as
one of the best mat artists in the
west. This sentiment changed after
the men had wrestled a few min
utes, for it was obvious that he did
not have anything on Ryan.
'DuCray made a speech to the
crowd after the bout in which he
stated that Ryan was the best man
he had ever met, with the exception
OF DR.. Roller.
Colorado Springs should be
proud of Ryan, he said, for he is
one OF the best men in the country

him in a return match. / will wres-
tie him any place in Colorado, but

Ryan stated from the ring after
the bout that he was not rich man,
but he thought that he could raise
] the necessary money for the bet. 1
am in the wrestling game and am
here to meet all Corners, he said. L
will meet them all and am willing
to give DuCray a return match
"DuCray's talk after the bout
marks him as a sportsman of high
caliber, and by his conduct is a ere
dit to the game. 1t is evident that
the men will be matched for a re-
| turn engagement soon"
1t is safe to say that Grand juno
lion sports will easily guarantee a
| $3.50 or $500 purse for the match.
