THE NEW COUNTY
In this issue the following historic
item appeared in the place Of honor
In The Herald columns:
1--WE have nothing particularly
definite this week to say concerning
our prospective new county, other
than that 1t 10 now generally con-
coded that the county will be es-
tablished. The name has been
changed from Sherman to Rio Blanco
-or, to put it in plain Enslish-White
River county. This change Is very
appropriate and meets with general
approval. At the meeting In Denver
before the joint committees Of both
houses, the proposed county was
represented by about dozen Of our
heaviest taxpayers, including such
men As 8. 8. Green, John ]. Niblock,
J. L. Mediation, George 8. Allsebrook

stock and ranch owners. Judge

About 1:45 D. m. to-day two boys who were skating on Pembroke Lake broke through the ice and narrowly escaped drowning. They were seen to go down by employees of the cart ridge shop. several of whom went to their rescue in boats. Fortunately the place where they broke through was. near the shore and the rescuing party reached them without delay. They were sent to their homes in a carriage. We have been unable to learn the identity of the near victims.

TROLLEY FATALITY.

 They were driving a grocery wagon towards Fairfield and had gotten half way up Taylor's hill. a. short distance west of Southport bridge, when a troll ley car came around the curve on the crest of the hilIs headed for South port. Before the mofoTnaan could stop the car it collided with the wag- on throwing the occupants headlong into the street The trolley wheel passed over the head of the child. killing him instantly. The motorxnan was Gustave B1anch of this city and the conductor was Matthew Bray, of Fairfield.

 The latter organization celebrates it's twentieth birthday today. as it was 1894, by nnea1 descendants of the
 bdayfiower pilgrims, 'tto preserve their memory, their records. their
 history, and all facts relating to them,
 their ancestors. and their posterity.T
 According to the record of the
 'Mayf1ower compact which was signed by forty-one persons, the total
 number on board the Mayflower was
 one hundred and one. In 1901 the Society of Mayflower Descendants

 numbering about 2.o00.
 The Mayflower passengers were not of the station in life to Justify the
 boast of ssblue blood" by their de-
 scendants. John Alden, who became
 leading man in the colony, was a
 cooper. He lived until 1887, and was
 the last survivor of the signers of the
 compact Isaac Al1erton was d. tailor. His wife died shortly after reaching Plymouth. but he remarked. and, on the death of his second wife, took g. third. One of his daughters, Mary, who married Elder Thomas Cush-

 Of the Mayflower passengers. John Ellington was hanged for murder in 163O. William Bradford, governor of the colony. was twice married. his first wife having been drowned in Cape Cod harbor before reaching Ply

 father of the first child of the Pill grims born in America Miles stan

 after reaching Plymouth. Dr, Samuel Fuller was the first pi1ysician, and Samuel Jr

Doty was a servant, and took part in the first duel fought in New England. William Whites sons I included Peregrine and Resolved. Priscilla was popular name, and was borne by John A1den's wife, the daughter of William Mullins.
 Although many of the Mayf1ower l passengers were unable to stand the rigors of pioneer life. and soon sick ened and died or returned to the old icountry, the survivors were sturdy stock and large families were the rule. lsJo1n Sarve1-, the ffrBt governor of the colony, left no descendants.

z The observance Of E'orefathers Day. the anniversary of the landing of the MayfIower pilgrims at Plymouth, Mass, in 1920. often gives rise to the observation that the RIayflover must have had the passenger capacity of fleet of modern liners in order to ac- count for the number of those who claim descent from that historic com pany of pioneers.

robber took a package of money and
escaped. The mail pouches which is
said to- have contained several pack
ages of money, were not touched.
