taken over by the wells Fargo COM
pany.
As a result OF the merger Grant

office In the Maupin block on North
ffth street. Under the new arrange
ment C. p. Harris. late agent for the

CRIPPLE CREEK TO GET
SHORTER ROAD TO DENVER

Announcement has been made that
the road from Denver TO Nighthawk
hill, a connecting link in the automo-
bile highway between this city and
Denver, will be graded and repaired,
work to start Immediately. This
means that the distance between this
city and Denver will be reduced to
rs miles instead of 125 as at present.
and that the road will go through a
portion of the state hitherto never
visited by automobile and where the
scenery is unsurpassed.
The portion of the highway from
Cripple Creek to Decker's Springs.
on this side. of Nighthawk hill is al
ready built, and with small expend-
iture can be put in shape for traffic.
Three or four bridges will have to be
built and some grading done in the
West Creek section. The road will go
north from Woodlawn Park. through
the Manitou Park section and over
what is one of the best auto roads In
the state.
Nighthawk hill is less than a mile
long. and has a grade Of 35 per cent.
which is prohibitive to the majority
of automobiles. The road will 20
around the hill instead Of over It,
with maximum grade Of Is per cent
The work will be done by the State
Highway Commission. Denver Motor
club and the county commissioners ri
Douglas county. 1t is expected the
road will be ready for traffic in June
Local people have tried several
times to have this road opened and
due to their efforts the Denver Motor
club was interested in the plan to
open a shorter route to that city. 1t
will be possible to go north from
Florissant to Signal Buttes and the
old town of West Creek. and from
there over Nighthill to Denver. with
practically the same distance as
through Woodland Park, although
more grades are encountered on that
road.-Cripple Creek Times.

A telegram was received at the
sherifts office this morning from
County Commissioner w. II. Pigg at
Echo station on the Denver & Rio
Grande road, twenty-five miles west
of Canon City, stating that one man
had been killed there and another
seriously hurt by falling rock and re-
questing that Coroner Atkinson of
Florence and DIR. Booth of this city,
county physician, be sent to the
scene of the assident as soon as pos
sible. Drs. Atkinson and Booth were
communicated with by phone without
delay and left for Echo in an autofo-
bile about 10 O'Clock, but up to 3
O'Clock this afternoon had not return
ed.
The message from Mr.. Pigg did not
contain the names of the unfortunate
men, no rgive any details of the acct
dent and considerable speculation
was INDUCED in by people about town
as to how it had occurred. 1t was
learned this afternoon that two men
were killed instead of one. and that
their names were John Malino and
Joe Tinetti, both of Brookside. From
reports at hand it appears that at
o'clock this morning about twenty men
started to cross the Arkansas river
on a swinging bridge fromtheir camp
on the north bank of the stream to
begin work on the other side The
bridge, which was a temporary af-
fair, was anchored to a rock on each
bank of the river and gave way under
the weight to which it was subjected
and all OF the men fell into the wa
ter.
One of the rocks to which the
bridge was fastened was dislodged
from its resting place when the struc-
ture gave way and fell on Malino and
Tinetti, killing one of them instant
ly and mortally wounding the other
Malino and Tinetti. as eww as their
companions. went to Echo the first of
the week to assist in the construction
Of the Parkdale-Cotopaxi cutoff of
the Rainbow route under the fund
made available to the county commits
sioners by the Colorado committee
on relief and unemployment OF the
Rockefeller foundation. Both were
ly esteemed by the people of Brook
side. where they have lived for a
number of years. Malino leaves a wife
and three children. Tinetti was un-
married. Although the accident was
unforeseen and unavoidable. 1t is

SOUTH CANON TAXES
FOURTH PLACE IN MEET

South Canon High School took
fourth place in the Colorado College
State High School Meet at
Colorado Springs Saturday with ten
points. Every point was made
by Ralph Thompson who took second
Individual honors. Thompson was one
of the bright particular stars of the
meet, not far behind Roderick of
Greeley who won 2S points alone for
his school and gave them the victory.
1t was great day for South Canon
highdespite the fact that most of the
men were taking part in their first
track meet
The day was unusually cold and raw
and veritable gale was blowing
across washburn field where the
meet was held. This condition made
record time impossible. About two
hundred athletes competed.
South Canon had a little hard luck.
Mckinley who had been hurt in bas-
ket ball was spiked and although
he qualified easily for the finals,
could not take part because of his
injury.
Thompson won arst in the $50 and
the javelin throw. He competed
against large field in bob events.
The North Canon boys made an
appearance but only got one point in
the finals and that was made by Nc
Clintock in the 12O yard hurdles. The
bad weather conditions made it hard
for the local youngsters to show Up
as well as they hav eat home.

MRS. BOLES DIDN'T LIKE
JOKE; CALLED IT A SCANDAL

Mrs. Billy BoIes didn't like that
burglar joke. not even a little bit.
In fact she was awful mad about
it. So was Billy. They said it was
a terrible scandal
Mrs. Boles took exception to the
statement that Billy was bewhisker-
ed and that he had ON dirty overalis
She wants It made clear that she new
er lets him go out reading meters
that way. but always sees that he is
properly shaven and wears his best
clothes. She said that his clothes
might not be as nice as some people
wear but that they were all paid for
and that they didn't owe anyone I.
cent
Mrs. Boles made It emphatically
plain that Billy was shaved and dress
ed like gentleman when he went in
to Gibson's and that she didn't want
people to think that any suspicion
had been cast upon him because OF
the incident She said that Billy had
to visit many homes, reading meters
and that she didn't want any cloud
hanging over his head or didn't want
those people to be suspicious OF him.
1t was explained 10 Mrs. Boles
that she was unnecessarily wrought
up over the matter, that Billy had
splendid reputation for honesty and
integrity, that he was an honest, hari
working man, and further that II by
any possibility suspicion could have
been cast upon him, the story would
not have been printed.
She was told that Charlie Haukole
was the man who had the real griev-
ance. II there was any. but that he
took the joke in the right spirit and
was having a great deal of fun out OF
it himself. The story was not print
ed with any feeling OF malice and
the incident was only considered Il
splendid joke, worth printing.

PASSENGER RATES
TO Be ADJUSTED

Two more or less revolutionary and
reformatory decisions will be issued
by the state public utilities commits
sion this week concerning passenger
rates ON the railroads in Colorado.
One of these decisions will order
and authorize the railroads to issue
mileage books for 1000 miles at the
price of either s25 or $50, which books
will be good for any member Of the
family of the purchaser.
The other decision instead of order
ing a reduction of passenger rates on
what are now called mountain rail-
roads will direct the railroads to so
extend the area of the plains rail-
roads" that large areas now includ-
ed In and charged for as mountain
roads" will come into the plains di-
vision" and be charged for in passen-
ger travel, at the existing plains
railroad three-cent rate.
The commissioners are understood
to be firmly convinced as the result
OF their own investigations and the
evidence given at the recent hearing
on passenger rates that these charg-
es, instead OF diminishing. will ma
terially increase the revenues Of the
railroads thru the immediate impe-
tus they will give to more extensive
travel.
The commissioners anticipate that
instead Of appealing these rulings
and sxasperating public opinion thru
prolonged litigation. the railroads will
accept them and put them intD eNsct
forthwith.

Railway company the Golden Circle
the electric line in the golI camp
and the old Florence & Cripple Creek

change amounts to practically moth
ing but a change of name.
The lines have been controlled by
the Colorado Springs & Cripple Creek
District company. known as the
Short Line. The Florence & Grip
pie Creek line between Florence and
Victor has been torn up. with the ex.
