PuE LOANS INJURED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Whiie racing along the Canon City
road about Eve miles west Of Pueblo
last Saturday morning. II. II. Watson
and William Buttons. two prominent
young clubren of the Steel city. had
n miraculous escape from death when
their racing Maxwell struck n soft
spot in the road and tnrned turtle.
Watson was thrown from the ma-
chine with great force and when res
cued by his companion was lying
face downward in the dust with one
OF the rear wheels OF the car resting
on his back Neither OF the young
men were fatally injured. although
Watson was badly bruised about the
head and shoulders.
They were trying out q new car
which they had recently purchased
and had chosen the Canon City road
to give 1t speed test. They were
travelling at the rate of thirty-five
or forty miles an hour when the
machine struck mudhole in the
highway AMI turned completely over
and then righted itself again.
The outer tires we're torn from
the wheels and the machine was bad
iy damaged. but after some repairs
was able to be taken back TO Pueblo
under its own power Buttons was
painfully b-rised. but managed TO
get OF without any broken bones.
After the accident he secured the
assistance II some people driving
along the road and lifted the ma
chine from Watson and took him TO
Pueblo where he was given surgical
attention.
The remains were found in The
yards about midnight by Lou Brewer.
a switehman for the Denver & n
Grande, while returning to his post
after going to the Union station for
orders. BY ;he light OF his lantern
he could see what he thought TO be-
man lylng across the track. and
upon closer examination discovered
the remains OF the dead man. IL
hurried to telephone and called
Coroner Patterson who rushed 10 the
scene Immediately and made an ca.
animation which leads to the theory
that the man had -omr-'tf~d suicide
The body wai Iy1ng across the
track. the legs being stretched oui
as II the person had lain down
across the rails purposely TO meet
his death. The coat has been tigh'
ly butioned about the body and the
arms had Leen crossed beneath the
body According to the coroner and
those who we're present at the time
Of the eXa animation was made. IL is
thought that the man either lay
down purposely TO meet his death or
threw himself under the wheels Of
the cars
1T was not thought that he was
passed over by an engine as II such
had been the case. IT is believed the
body would have been dragged nlonF
the tracks and there we're no marks
In the cinders that would indicate
that such was the case.
Domestic troubles and drink nre
thought to be responsible for the
tragic deatli OF the man. Less than
two weeks ago a suit for divorce
was brought against Burgh by his
wife. Minnie C. Bursh. In the com
plant filed In the county court II is
alleged the man had acquired the
habit OF spending his monthly wages
for liquor and when under the in
iuence OF Il had acted strangely.
Divorce and aiimony were asked
OF the court and the papers had jus
recently been served on the man.
They were found In his possession

Prof. Trumbull returned from
Mosquero Saturday on his motor
with subscription list of nearly
SAC 90 for the Short Course to be
held there.
The original plan was to have
the full weekscourse here at Roy
but we were unwilling to pay as
much for a weeks education and
instruction as we cheerfully pay
for one evenings entertainment
so it was necessary to scatter it
outand of course Mosquero and
Mills can't be blamed for getting
in on an equal footing with Roy.
It's too bad but a fact never the
less that we pay our money far
more cheerfully for fire works,
horse races and barbecues for
the Fourth of July than we do
for things OF lasting benefit,
