economy run of Denver tourists has
fallen through, the alleged reason being
that manufacturers could not secure
the 1916 cars. The real reason is prob
ably that the auto agents were afraid
to tackle the contest.
However, Mr.. Rohrig, editor of
Towns and Trails, phones Judge Nourse,
president Of the Chamber of Commerce
at Gunnison, that arrangements are
being made for a sociabiity run start
ing from Denver Sunday or Monday
and getting here some time next week.
1t is rumored that there will be great
pressure ON the tourists to take other
routes from Grand junction, say over
Tennessee pass, or south by way of
Silverton, etc. etc. This of course,
spoils the value of the trip in large part
for the Rainbow Route, and again illus
trstes the difficulty of getting any Den
yer crowd lined up to assist the West
ern Slope.
Ladies of the Presbyterian church
who had secured the Wylie frame build
ing just vacated by the Gunnison Steam
Laundry. to serve a dinner to the ex-
pected guests are now wondering
whether there is going to be any crowd
at all.
We are told that advance information
will be given as soon as the tour is un-

n St. LOUIS HOSPITAL

On Sunday morning telegram was
received that Judge John C. Brown had
died at the St Louis hospital at noon ON
Saturday, Sept. 4th. On account of the
fac. that Judge Brown has spent his
vacations here for number of years.
and was one Of the pioneers in the Gun
nison country, we feel almost as though
we had lost an old resident. The Judge
was liked by all who knew him and his
many friends in this locality were great
ly shocked by the news of his death.
Judge Brown was a brother of Thos.
c. Brown who practiced law here for
so many years, and whose widow, Mrs.
Lizzie Brown, still resides in Gunnison.
Judge Brown was So years old on the
End of March. Five years ago he was
elected one of the justices of the Su-
preme Court Of Missouri for ten yeai
term. He WAS q hard worker on the
bench, was absolutely conscientious snc
fair in rendering opinions. and was very
highly thought of as member of the
Missouri bench.
Judge Brown first Game to Colorado
in 1879. In 1850 he snowshoed over tbs
Continental Divide and came to Gunni
son and lived about a year in this vici
nifty with his brother and engaged IL
mining in the then boom camp Of Irwin
Afterwards he was admitted to tbs
practice law in Missouri and continued
to practice his profession until elected
Judge. Nearly every year he has spen
his vacation in Gunnison, and he has al
ways had warm spot in his heart fol
Colorado and especially Cunnison.
Judge Brown leaves a widow and ons
daughter, and they have the sincer'
sympathy of the people of Gunnisor
and vicinity.
