the resignation of three OF the Aus

would surrender the women they
would not be molested The party at

COST LIFE O RALPH M ulI nllEPl IT WHITE DIS CROWDS NIX
MulI n RECENT QUARREL PINE RICH NTH SILVER G the TRIP SUNDAY

1t is estimated that three hundred
people visited the new highline drive
Sunday, and all have praise for the un-
dertaking, and express their surprise
that the route will provide such wonder
fuI scenic possibilities. The road is
now completed to the top of Normal
Heights, a distance of mile and three
hundred feat In this distance, the
road IN splendid condition, being wide,
smooth, and the grade not over six per
cent.
On the upper part of the road as 1t
now stands, some very hard rock wse
encountered, and considerable time hes
been taken up this week in shooting out
the rock. 1t is thought that the hard
est part has been built rs the route
from the first lookout follows the top
of the ridge the greater part of the
way.
Two hundred and eight dollars has
been expended in personal labor con
tributed by the citizens of GunnisoB,
and one hundred and sixty dollars con-
tributed by the citizens in money has
been put ON the road, so that the un-
derstaking thus far has cost about
$500. 1t is estimated that $500 on
would complete it to the peaks.
Several methods of raising this
$500 90 have been suggested. but
nothing definite has been determined a.
yet. However, those in charge say
that it must be completed this summer,
and several very feasible schemes are
now beng considered. Ii is said that
there may be surprise for the boost

In the presence of his wife and two
infant children, H. M. Nixon, the man
ager of the Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph Company at Pitkin shot
his brother-in-law, Ralph Hartman,
last Sunday evening at the local tele-
phone office. Hartman was shot
through the right lung but it is thought
that he will recover.
Hartman being just inside of the door
in an adjoining room. Nixon was stand
ing a short distance from his wife who
was ct the telephone board. 1t was
first reported that Nixon fired seven
shots while his brother-in-law fired five
times, but an examination of the two
rooms where the sffray occurred shows
that three bullets went into the wall
from Hartman gun, while there are
FIVE marks of bullets from NixOn's gun,
three of these being in the wall, one IN
the roof and fifth in the baby carriage
which stood in the room.
1t seems that quarrel in the home
between Nixon snd his wife and the in
reference of the brother-in-law was
the cause of the shooting. 1t is re
ported that Nixon was packing his
clothes preparatory to coming to Gunni-
son for service on the jury in the Dis
trict Court when the quarrel started.
Nixon when interviewed in his cell IN
the county jail refused to make any
statements Regarding the matter but
said that Hartman fired the first shot
and remarked that he was not going to
be run out of his own home. Hartman
