MlN rDUo LOST
N the PARADOX
Since LAST JUNE

Vance Cloud, a brother of Susie Cloud
who graduated from the Normal last
spring and who is well known in this
city, has mysteriously disappeared in
the Paradox country. He has visited
his sister in Gunnison at different times
and win be remembered by many of the
people here. His mother who was here
for several months with her daughter
and who is suffering from lingering
illness, is nearly frantic over the pos
sible misfortune which may have befal-
len her son.
Young Cloud has not been seen or
heard of since early in June, when fired
with the prospectors zeal, he started
out in the Paradox country in search of
the magic radium. His mother says
that when he left home he told his folks
not to be worried if they did not hear
from him for about four weeks as he
had a long, hard trip ahead of him, and
so she did not have anv anxiety as to
his whereabouts for several weeks after
he left home. But, she explains that
one day, more than month after he
had gone away, a man with whom her
son had had some trouble. called her on
the telephone and told her that Vance
had been missing for some time and
that il was feared that he was lost.
Following the report that was made.
a brother of the missing man who had
previously been with him in the Paradox
country. started with Montrose officials
on search, but their efforts were
fruitless and today many theories are
advanced as to the mysterious dis
appearance. There are some reports of
contemplated arrests of suspected par
ties. Suspicion is cast on a certain
man with whom Vance had had trouble.
and il is said that traces of foul play
have been found. 1t is reported that a
rope has been found and trail leading
through the bushes to the river, indi-
Gates that the rope may have been used
to drag the body to the river. These
things will be Investigated and If the
results of the investigation warrant, the
bed of the river may be dragged. In
one place on a lonesome mountain trail
a mans tracks, which were thought to
be those of Vance Cloud, were found.
These tracks were plainly traced to the
top of hill and there they disappear
ed. A horses tracks followed those of
the man. At the top of the hill the
mans tracks ended while those of the
horse went on
1t is said that the officials of Montrose
county viii make thorough and exten-
sive investigation Of this mystery

SUNDAYS MAIL TRAIN MUCH
DELAYED BY WRECK

The westbound train Sunday was de
layed some seven hours by wreck of a
freight which occurred some twelve
miles east Of Salida at Fairview. II is
reported that this freight was loaded
with silk and valued at 500, 600. for
which the Rio Grande was under bonds
to deliver at New York connections on a
hurry-up scedule. This will cost the
road good sum, as the cars were under
seal, the duty to be paid at New York
However, though considerable silk was
distributed along the track, the loss of
goods was not SO great as the lose Of
time under bond
1t seems as though nine-tenths of the
Rio Grande wrecks occur along the
stretch of track between Salida and the
Grand canon No train crews were in
jured this time.

Charley Adams, wife and two young

weeks in an auto, Montrose to Denver
and return. They spent the night with
relatives here and then went on over
the Blue mesa toward home. Mr..
Adams went to Denver over Monarch
pass, which he states is in fine shape,
but the return over Cochetopa, was a
hard one This road, in such good shape
few months ago, has been washed
with torrential rains, that have exposed
the rocks until it is no road at all in
spots. Where grading has been prop
erly done the road bed stood the racket
all right, but in other places the noun

given by Sitter Bros. Waunita Hot

James b. Orman who is a candidate

Office of state treasurer in the coming

day. He renewed many old-time ac-
quaintances while in the city.

Governor of this state. The pen is
there on exhibition, but he failed to
locate it. However, he went through
the building and in his enthusiasm for
this splendid structure which the bill
created, he forgot the pen. But, he did

Automobile High
Dive Is New Feat

A high dive in an automobile is a new
feat in the world Of sport and was ac-
complished for the first time in Gunni-
son last Friday afternoon when
Lawrence Stone and James Cox, both
of Gunnison, riding in small Maxwell
car plunged over a fifteen foot embank-
ment and landed in six feet of water.
Stone was unable to stay with the div
ing machine and was thrown about
twenty feet from the car, hitting the
water with such force that blood ran
from his nose and mouth. Cox stayed
with the wheel but was unharmed.
When the car hit the water it had com
pletely turned around and landed on its
side. The car was taken from the
water the next day and il was found
that it had been but slightly damaged.
The accident occurred about seven
miles west of Gunnison on the sharp
curve just this side of the Jointed Rod
fishing resort. Cox was new hand as
a driver and made the mistake of turn
ing the wheel the wrong way. He was
running about twenty miles an hour
when the car left the road.
1t is fortunate that the accident hap
pened in place where there was water
in which to land, otherwise such
plunge would have resulted in serious
injury to the occupants of the car 1t
is said that there was just room be
tween telegraph pole and huge rock
for the car to go over, and if it had hit
either one of these obstructions there
would have been bad smash-up.
