fORnAN ESTATE ms
MONEY FOR HEIRS BUT
THEY CAN'T Be FOUND

The Thomas Forman estate was set
tied in the county court this week. At
ter the settlement of all claims against
the estate, there remained about one
hundred dollars for the heirs, a widow
and two children, but the present resi-
dence of these heirs is not known. al
though every effort has been made to
locate them.
Thomas Forman will be remembered
as a small Italian man who owned a
small garden ranch near the city limits.
After his death the children were sent
to some home in Denver and the mother
were adopted. but the persons adopting
them cannot be located Joe David who
took up the matter with the Italian
counsul in Denver, says it was reported
a short time ago that Mrs. Foiman was
seen picking coal in the railroad yards
in Denver.
The matter has been referred to the
Italian counsul in Denver and every
thing viii be done TO locate the heirs.
In case they are not found the money
viii be paid into the state treasury 10
be held for them. The amount is small
but would mean a great deal TO these
people who have lived IN comparative
poverty for years.

the Gannison county marble has been
selected for the famous Lincoln Mem

dollar contract and the largest which
the Gannison county company has ever
secured.
The decision for thee. Y. marble is q
real triumph for Gannison county.
ss it was necessary to compete with all
other marbles, and it WAS finally dedid-
ed by those who had the matter in
charge that there was no other marble.
for which bid had been entered, that
compared with Colorado lule. The
fine Arts Commission to whom the ques-
tion was referred by Secretary of War
Garrison, made report that placed the
preference decidedly for the product
mined in Gunnison county.
1t is reported that the transcript of
the proceedings at the hearing conduct
ed by the Secretary of War showed that
Colorado Yule marble was held by &ll to
of the experts present to be the world s
hest white marble and the marble by
which oil others are gauged.
Senators Shafroth and Thomas took =

ed that ell of the idle men have been
put to work and that many more men
will be put to work as they can be
found. Many new families are moving
into the thriving little marble city every
day Work on the new contract will
start soon.
Tonight, at Marbl, big banquet and
reception is to be held in honor of the
president and general manager of the
marble company, Mr.. Manning. This
banquet is to be given by the business
and professional men of Marble rs evil
dence of their appreciation for Mr..
Manning's efforts in securing the Lin
coin Memorial contract. This affair is
to be held in the Marble Masonic Hall,
and it is the intention to make it one of
the most notable events of Marble.
The meeting to arrange for this ban
quet was held last Thursday evening,
when the various committees were ap-
pointed. The finance committee is COM
posed of F. J. T. Beezley, DIR. +. b.

sent at such banquet to honor a man
who has done much for one of Gnnnison

that all will nevertheless extend the
honor and fully appreciate the signif-

Ter with the governments of the world to
