The Arvada enterprise., 1913-05-01

About ten o'clock Monday
morning a runaway team came
tearing down Wadsworth Ave,
from the north and turned east
on Grand View, hitched to a lum-
Der wagon partially loaded with
furniture. The team was not
running at full speed and several
men attempted to stop it on
Grandview, but succeeded in
turning it down East First, where
Adds Bruce and George Meunch
proved to be the real heroes.
Bruce grabbed one of the horses
by the bits and Muench swung
onto the other one and brought
them to a full stop. The team
was turned around and tied on
Grandview. In a few minutes
Cal Pope came in on horseback
and reported that a man and
woman and little child had been
thrown from the wagon in the
road opposite his house and all
had apparently been run over.
He said the baby had been
killed he thought, and the par
ents badly injured. He stated
DR.. Foster had been telephoned
for and was not at home, being
in Denver.
1t later developed that the
team belonged to DR.. c. V.
Shoop, the Denver dentist, living
about two and a half miles north
of town and that the injured per-
sons were Mr.. and Mrs. Lester
Dowell. The infant was Lester
Dowell, Jr., two months and four
days old.
AS near as can be learned the
Dowells, who are very young
married people, were living or
Dr. Shoop's place, where the
husband had been employed, but
having finished his work, were
moving into Denver.
The wagon was loaded with
household goods and they had
started to drive to Denver, when

". C. Cock, a Denver Man, Takes
Own Life On Lookout Mountain

and a description and the at
tending circumstances were pub
lished in the daily papers with
the result that the remains were
positively identified as that of
w. c. Cook, who about holiday
time was a salesman for the
Schwartz Jewelry Co. of Denver
and up until the last known of
him alive, he was employed by
the Gardner Insurance Co. in
the Gas & Electric building to
whom he returned the papers
he had, on February 28th, with
the information that by the time
they were received he would be
no more.
1t was learned through the in
surance company that he had a
mother living in Baltimore, Md,
and also a brother who is pur-
chasing agent for the B. & O.
railroad.
DR.. Foster was called in and
performed an autopsy in which
he found that the man who was
as years old, had apparently
been a user Of drugs. Various
bottles found in the camp led to
the same belief.
The body was buried Tuesday
morning in the Arvada cemetery.
Mr.. Gardner of the insurance
company positively identified the
deceased by comparing the hand
writing found on his person with
that of letters written by him
and also his name was discover
ed written plainly on the inside
of his hat band.
The Arvada enterprise., 1913-05-01

Coroner Burton was called to
Lookout Mountain Sunday after
noon where the body Of a man
had been found by party of
pleasure seekers from Golden.
The place where the body was
found was a secluded spot about
a mile from the end of the
funicular railroad where tho sui
eide had evidently encamped for
several days prior to his tragic
end.
Mr.. Burton got Chas. McFsd-
den to go up with him to Golden
and there they were Joined by
others who accompanied them to
the scene.
There was every evidence that
the man, whose identity has
since been established, had de-
liberately plotted to take his own
life and to conceal if possible his
identity.
His camp had been torn down
and packed up and he had taken
the precaution to remove the
laundry marks from his under
clothing. No card or book was
found on his person that gave
any clew. He had deliberately
rolled back his sleeves, taken a
jack-knife and opened the ar
teries in his wrists, and putting
the knife back in his overcoat
pocket, laid down to die.
According to all indications he
had been dead a couple of
months.
Coroner Burton had the body
brought down Monday morning
! to the Burton e. Chinn morgue

Cleanup Days a Conin, Get Out
Get Out Your Shovel and Rake.

While the attendance was not
large, the audience showed mark
ed interest in the mass meeting
which was called last Friday
evening by the committee ap-
pointed by the Commercial club,
for the purpose of starting a
cleanup crusade.
Forty-eight of Arvada's good
citizens were present and from
the responses that came from
them, to the remarks of the diff
ferent speakers, it was evident
they were in hearty accord with
the proposed movement and will
ing to lend a helping hand.
]. 3. Mailing being chairman
of the committee appointed by
the Commercial club, spoke on
the object of the mass meeting
and was followed by a Mr.. Carr,
of Westminster, landscape
gardner, who was asked to be
present by Mr.. Recht, an old
time friend.
He was followed by J. F.
White, w. M. Smith, Rev. Coop
er and Mr.. Recht.
All had good suggestions to Of
fer and it was finally decided by
a vote put by Mr.. Smith and Sec
onded by Mr.. White, that the
council should be asked to set
day in the near future for clean
up day, when the people would
be asked to clean up their yards,
alleys and streets about their
places, piling the debris in con-
venisnt place to be hauled off by
city teams.
- The meeting, it is generally
believed, by all who were in At
tendance. will result in much
good and already some results
may be credited to it.
There was no suggestion OF en-
failing q great expense upon the
taxpayers and no one could have
listened to the talks made with
out being moved to accept the
general plan as plausible and de-
sirable for the good of the town.
Mr.. Mailing spoke at length of
the great possibilities in store for
Arvada and jefferson county in
the event of Colorado again be-
coming a mecca for the tourists.
He pointed out the many advant-
ages it had over any other SUBJ
urb of Denver, in that it was be-
tween that great city and the
mountains, the natural attraction
to the tourists. All of these ad-
vantages, he pointed out were to
be augmented by the vast expen-
diture of money by the State
highway commission on the roads
in Jefferson county, This would
bring the auto tourists through
Arvada and the thing to do was
to prepare for it by making the
place as attractive and as invit-
ing AS possible.

Mrs. Ryan Sells Her Home.

Mrs. Josephine M. Ryan,
through Knapp q Newton nego-
tiated the sale of her property to
Solomon Gephart and his wife
Sylvia. The deal was closed the
first of the week and the new
owners are moving in this week
They came from some town in
Illinois. Mr.. and Mrs. Gephart
will have with them their daugh-
ter and her husband, Mr.. and
Mrs. John Jeffrey and their four
children.

virtue of the many wholesome
advantages Arvada has as a place
to live, if the proper effort is put
forth, it would soon become to
Denver, what Wheaton and
Sheridan Drive are to Chicago
and what the many beautiful
suburbs are to the many great
cities of the east, thus making
land values soar as they have
scared in those exclusive resi-
dence districts. This, he said was
a more feasible possibility than
the bringing of factories to mar
the landscape with their smok-
ing chimnies, and to bring with
them the Slav, the Honyak and
the Dago.
AS to planning the cleanup
campaign Mr.. Mailing suggested
that. the men get busy through
the Commercial club and that
the ladies of the different church.
es, through their Aid Societies,
take up the work and that the
boys and girls be enlisted to en-
ter a contest for a prize to the
one producing the best flower
garden, the prize to be awarded
by a committee which would take
all circumstances and surroand-
ings into account. He said he
would head the prize list with a
cash subscription of S25 to be
given to the boy or girl winning
the contest.
It was rather gratifying to see
results of the meeting in evidence
the next day, as many bonfres
were made of debris tnat had
heretofore been passed by un-
noticed.
Mr.. White in his remarks said
Arvada was next to heaven in
his conception of a place to live
and he hoped to make it his home
till called thither, while Rev.
Cooper said he considered a
meeting Of that character, equal
ly as religious as the mid-week
prayer-meeting.
Mr.. Smith told how he was a
devout convert to the cleanup
doctrine and how he had prac-
ticed his belief with answering
diligence each year.
Mr.. Recht told of his plans for
cleaning up his own premises by
way of suggestion for others.
1t was generally conceded that
the object of the meeting was
not because Arvada is consider
ed to be in any lower degree of
sanitation thrn any other town
of it's size, but because it is the
desire of it's citizens that it should
be on a much higher plane of civ
ic cleanliness and attractiveness
than any of it's sister suburbs.
