A meeting OF large number of
business men was held in the otti-
ces of w. l.. Shaffer on Wednes-
day night to tako action in rela-
ton to the taking off of one of the
passenger trains on the Colorado
and Southern railroad. The ru-
NOR has been afloat for several
days that it was going to be done,
but as this rumor has sprung up
every fall it was not considered
as serious matter until the in
formation was reliably ascertained
the middle of the week. At the
meeting On Wednesday night,
Mayor pro tenn, f. NJ. Moscript,
chairman of the meeting called up
Mr.. A. D. Parker, Vice president
of the road and asked if the re-
port was correct. Mr.. Parker
said that it is true and that it was
the intention to take off the train
that leaves Denver a: $40 in the
morning returning there at 5 IS
in the evening. This would leave
the one train in service that goes
down in the morning and returns
in the afternoon. At the meeting
on Wednesday night a committee

Owen, Geo. K. Kim ball, Chas.
Woodward and Commissioner
Stewart of Georgetown was ap-
pointed to go to Denver and have
an interview with Mr.. Parker and
prominent business men and aim
to secure the retention of the
train service as it has been for
years. The committee was also
requested to get in touch with the
towns in Clear Creek and Gilpin
counties and secure united CO.
operation in the efforts to have
the two trains each way kept in
service The committee went OF
Denver OH Friday and interviewed
Mr.. Parker and listen to his tale
of woe about hard times and the
several members put some rocks
in his road of hard times that he
could not we'll get over. He
threw soothing morsel in the
way of agreeing to run two
trains on Sunday so that people
could get their Sunday morning
papers. The committee is not
yet through with their protests
and will arm themselves with facts
and figures to show that theearn.
'ings on the Clear Creek branch
from Silver Plume to Denver
are such as will justify the two
two trains day regularly. Even
if the road barely paid expenses
during the winter months, the
revenue derived during the Other
months would amply justify the
management in keeping the two
trains running throughout the
year. A combination coach will
be attached to the Freight train.

C0RONER's INQUEST
OVER f Ma OLIVER
Cause of 15-Year- Old Girls Death
Being Investigated by Jury
Autopsy Performed.

Beginning Thursday afternoon and
continuing today, coroner's jury is
investigating the cause of the death
recently of Edna Oliver, a 15-year-old
girl who lived with the James Walker
family at Independence and whose
death was reported to have come as
the result of criminal operation. A
verdict is not expected until some time
this afternoon.
Boy and girl friends of the dead
girl testified as to her general char
acter, at the opening of the inquest
Thursday, and then DR.. Lucy A. Cook
of this city, in whose Office the girl
died, took the stand and gave her ver-
sion of the affair. Two weeks before
her death the girl called at DR.. Cooks
office in company with Mrs. Walker,
the doctor testified, and was examined
as to her condition.
When she returned day or so be-
fore her death DR.. Cook testified an
operation was necessary to save her
life and it was performed Sunday
night. Blood poisoning set in and the
girl died early Monday morning of
last week, before anything could be
done to save her.
An autopsy was performed on the
body Tuesday afternoon by Drs. w. l..
Bridgford and H. w. Partlow and Cor
oner H. N. Sticklin. Testimony rela-
tive to that is being heard by the
jury this morning, the members of
which are j. G. Crouch, F. G. Blake,
Mrs. Kate Young, George G. Mills,
Robert L. Blankenship and John Bush.
The girl was also known as Edna
Brown, having been adopted by John
Brown, now an inmate Of the Soldiers
home who resided near South Union
before his wife's death about four
years ago. With younger sister the
Brown girl came to this country about
five years ago accompanied by wom-
an claiming to be their mother. The
two children were left with John
Brown at Union, while the woman re,
turned East.
Later in letter to Mrs. Brown she
declared that the real surname of the
girls was Oliver. Following the death
of Mrs. Brown three years ago the
older girl went to the home of James
Walker, a we'll to do rancher, to live
while her sister was sent to the Wash
ington State Children's home.
