A. L. d. Davis sold a majority
Of the stock Of his yards to W.
M. Spence, of Hemingford, Neb. ,
R. E. Spence, Of Denver, and j.
G. Noll, also of Denver. w. M.
Spence has assumed the man
agement of the new company
and has moved his family here
and is now occupying one Of Mr..
Davis houses on Graves avenue.
He is a thorough lumber" man
and we bespeak for him success
in his new field and heartily vel
come himself and family to Ar
vada., The other gentlemen own
and operate a lumber yard in
Denver. Mr.. Davis will engage
more extensively in the auto
mobile business in Arvada and
will probably put in a garage
and repair shop. We are pleased
to know that he will remain in
Arvada.

w. R. Conklin, police magis-
trate of Lakeside, was found
dead in his residence Just north
of the Lakeside Tramway sta
ton, Wednesday morning by the
little boy who has been doing
his chores. Coroner Burton was
called and when he went over
found that Mr.. Conkln had died
from a hemorrhage. His body
was in a chair with his head
leaning on the sink over a bucket
full of blood and was badly
frozen, showing that he must
have died some time Tuesday.
The remains were prepared for
burial at the Burton & Chinn
undertaking parlor and are being
held until his sister in New York
cfn be heard from.
Speaking of trouble, the editor

home with the expectation Of
toasting our shins before good
warm fire and enjoying some
well earned rest, we discovered
that one of our water pipes had
broken and our home was com
pletely flooded. After wading
around in the cold water we fin
ally succeeded in reaching the
shut-otf valve in the cellar, but
things were so wet we were com
PEELED to seek another resting
place for that night. What
bothers US is what caused the
pipe to break after we were so
careful about shutting off the
water and draining the pipes
every night during the extreme
cold spell.

While hauling feed into the

the back wheels of a heavily

I A committee of business men
from Arvada spent about an
hour and a half in conference
with Mr.. Beeler Of the Tramway
Co. at his Office recently and pre-
sented the matter of a cheaper
rate and better car service for
Arvada, and while Mr.. Beeler
gave them plenty of time to pre-
sent their arguments, he did not
give them any special encourage
ment further than to state that
the matter would be taken up
before a Tramway committee.
It looks as though it will take a
genuine hard fight to induce"
the Tramway to do anything for
Arvada.
Under circumstances which in
dicate that he was the victim of
an unknown enemy, Alfred E.
Salladay, 80, nephew of J. l..
Salladay, of Arvada, died yester-
day in Rochester, N. Y, from
the effect Of an irritant poison.
The authorities are working on
the theory that he was murdered.
Salladay left Denver two years
ago and went to Rochester,
where he was married. Yester-
day morning, before leaving for
his work as motorman, he ate a
hearty breakfast, and at $50
the same morning he ate another
meal. Shortly afterwards he
was seized with convulsions and
died. An autopsy showed that his
stomach had been inhamed by
some irritant poison. 1t is
hinted that his death was caused
by an enemy in the car barns.
j. l.. Salladay, of Arvada, knows
of no cause for the death of his
nephew and believes it must have
been accidental. Denver Post.

the cases. Mr.. Shands arrived
Yesterday and, after looking into

Interpretation of the law, no judge

Judge Mounger resumed the bench,

take interest enough to meet tc
discuss its problems. That is not
an evidence of the strong, vigorous
life that we wished for, but IT IS
NOT DEAD.

ally of all of those who have the
good of the town and county at
heart. Are you working for the
upbuilding of the communitYa If
that prospers viii not your busi-

Withdrawing their patronage from
stores which disregard these need

We have appealed again and
again to civic pride; now we call
on the proper officers to see that
the laws are enforced. They need
all of the encouragement possible,
for it takes courage to face some
of the violations that we know ex-
ist.
Tbs reason that some of our
members are dropping out is not
because of lack of interest, but
lack of courage. The missiles Of
scorn and rsdicule thrown at the
Civic League have frightened
them. Come back, ladies.
