TO REMOVE TROOPS
FROM COLORADO
u S. Soldiers to be Withdrawn
District by District

Washington, Dec. 24-Arrangements
for beginning the withdrawal of the
federal troops from the Colorado
strike districts within the next ten
days were made at a conference be-
tween President Wilson, Governor
Ammons, of Colorado; Governor-elect
carlson and Senator Shafroth.
After conference with Governor
Ammons, Secretary Garrison said a
plan had ben agreed upon for the
gradual withdrawal of troops from
Colorado. He said he would submit
the details of this plan to President
Wilson, and that meanwhile he did
not care to make them public, beyond
telling taht it was proposed to take
the troops away district by district,
closely observing the results Of each
move before taking the next step.
Governor Ammons told the presi-
dent that If the plan of withdrawing
the troops from one district at time
were carried out he would be able to
control the situation with local Off
cials. He said he would use the mill
tia, if necessary, but desiredi avoid
further expense to the state He de-
clared there was every pro Uect OF
peace if the local authoritie were
given an opportunity to gain control
Of the situation gradually.

She realized that the end was near
and just before passing away kissed
her loved ones good bye. She was so
kind and loving and appreciated all
that loving hands could do for her.
After bidding loved ones good bye she
pointed heavenward with both hands
as though she saw some one coming
to her and embraced the one with a
kiss. She was SO gentle, patient, JOY
full, loving and true in all her life,
that she will be greatly missed by her
many friends. And the sorrow and
pain caused by this separation from
her devoted husband father, mother

the glorious reunion at the coming
of our beloved Saviour can heal.
