and admits IL. But there are others
u. p. Saunders, editor and proprietor of
the Brush Republican. a prosperous
country editor, under the head of Just
Tellin' Things,r had the following in
recent issue of his excellent paper:
'-Along in the '9Os there were lot OF
newspaper men idle in Denver and the
bunch was having a hand time to get
the neeessities of life and keep up their
enthusiasm during the depression. As
the time grew more and more strenuous
a buneh of US got together and rented a
flat in one of the downtown buildings
on our own account Later, whenever we
found a stray in similar circumstances
We adopted him, especially if he had
any r. sources left or was connected up
in 4 financial way.
"Among the many rules made govern
ing tie hlnnrh was that whenever one
OF II, xr4ffIfnted members IN our flat
made raise the same was to become
common property. All the boys were
wearing pretty good front, most of
their wordrobe being made up of relics
of days of prosperity and better things
Some of the fellows, owing to the favor
they were in with the various city edi-
tors and foremen of the town, were en-
abled to get in a day now and then,
and the various pay days were kept
track of in an old assignment book and
whenever a shortage occurred or the sit
uation became difficult several of the
more industrious, or those that bore the
most worried look on their faces, or
wore . funeral stare, were told to 60
out and get busy or we would all perish
together.
On one occasion, when We were es-
pecially prosperous and some of the
bunch had their pie boards paid for
in advance, we rented a piano. Gene
TAYLOR was fine musician and he just
had TO keep in practice. 1t was before
the phrase we should worry was coined
and We had little surplue. We made
up our minds to indulge Gene, as he was
one of the most prolific diggers of coin
in the crowd. Well, we played and sang
and died the summer away. The after
moons were usually spent in the discus
sion of music. dramatics, art, sport,
theology and kindred subjects of inter
est, as we had experts in nearly every
line of these subjects.
Harvey Garman. at present state sem
ator. was considered the funeral con-
duetor and worst worrier of the crowd.

Secretary of War Garrison Said to Be
Ready to Investigate Irregular Use
of Federal Funds by C. N. G.

Capt. Edwin F. Carson. commander of
the mine guard Troop A, which precipi-
tated the Ludlow massacre, has been
too heavy a load even for the corrupt
state militia to carry and his ~resigna-
ton" has been accepted, according to the
Official Bulletin of the Colorado Guard,
issued from the adjutant genarel's Of
flee by Colonel Sweeney.
Carson is said to have been brought
to Colorado by the Baldwin-Felts de-
tective agency. He is a soldier of for
tune. claims to be British subject and
to have seen duty in South Africa
designations of three other militia Of
ficers were accepted this week They
are Capt. Philip Linville, Mai. L. w.
Kennedy and Lieut. George Chase.
Secretary of War Garrison is said to
be about ready to order an investigation
of how the Colorado National Guard dis
poses of government funds appropriated
for the militia of various states under
the Dick military law. 1t is reported
that so many charges of graft and mis-
use of this money have reached Wash
ington that fumigation by federal Of
ficials is deemed necessary.
A few weeks ago The Bulletin print
a story of how General Chase and Major
Williams had secured railroad ticket
from Denver to Charlestown, w. Va.
from these funds and stamped by gov
ernment request This ticket was to
be used by Mrs. Virginia Riggs. a
woman who had loaned money to Major
Randolph and whom the latter was anx-
ious to get out of the state.

ncr in which the railroads have repudi-
ated arbitration awards.
We recognize. however. that we can
not afford to refuse your courteous prof
fer Of your kindly offices and therefore
we accept the same. We believe it is
unfair to ask us 10 wait four days be.
fore mediation begins, in view of the
present strained relations"
The railroad committee in letter to
the men denied they had refused to
abide by awards.
I'VE deny for them that they have
either refused or failed to put into ef-
feet any arbitration award. In discuss
ing this matter we not only guaranteed
the good faith OF the roads in putting
into effect any awards which might fol-
low our negotiations, but we suggested
that commission, permanent or other
wise. be established so that all disagree
ments arising out of Misunderstanding
or misapplication Of any award might
be speedily and amicabiy settled.
Carter said that the charges of rcpu-
diation had been the result OF the in
tcrprctation given the awards by the
roads and not because they had actually
ignored the findings of the arbitration
board.

mediation and charges that the railroads
Ind heretofore refused TO abide by the
findings Of arbitration boards.

STRAIN GIVES DATA ON COST
Of WORK ON GRAVITY SYSTEM

c. p. Strain, member of the city
water commission. has submitted the
following statement in reference to
the progress and cost of work on the
gravity system.
For the Information of the public.
l will say that the water board in
tends to issue a statement when the
new gravity system is completed that
will show the cost and financial con-
oition of the same.
The cost of construction is not yet
known. The engineering has cost In
payments to Mr. Kelsey to date sl9,-
SS4.25. This is in full except that he
is entitled to per cent on whatever
the final cost shall be above se65.O00.
There is possibility that he may pu,
in further claim for overtime oc-
casioned by an extension OF time
granted the Bent Construction Co,
for completion.
Another element of uncertainty rel
ative to the final cost Is due To classi.
fication of the material found In ex-
cavating the trench for the pipe line
The contract price is s4.0O per yard
for stone and % cents for all material
that is not stone. There may be a
question raised as to whether hard

classified as stone.

0LD TRUNK OPENED AFTER
BEING LOCKED 40 YEARS

T. F. Howard, together with his
brother, ]. A. Howard of Fairbanks,
Washington, recently went through an
old trunk at the home of the former.
The trunk had not been looked into
by either for more than 40 years.
Thomas Hill Howard, father of these
men. and past 80, had this old trunk
in his personal keeping for about 40
years. and 1t was considered almost
sacred.
The trunk is supposed to have
been brought from Kentucky about
1850, by Elizabeth Burdett, mother
of the two younger Howards.
On opening the trunk the men
found some of their own, and some
of their younger brothers old school
books, as well as some of their sisters
books.
One of these books was published
more than 6S years ago. None of tho
books are less than SO years old.
They include a part of one geography,
author unknown one Thomson's Prac-
teal Arithmetic. one fourth reader
by Marcus Wilson, one large speller
by Marcus Wilson, one elementary
grammar by Kerl.
