While Playing Fell and Struck
Head on Rock and Death
!. Due to Blow On Skull
BURIAL LAST SUNDAY

1t seems that little Wilda Dobsou,
who was found dead in the Roaring
Fork river last week and was buried on
Sunday by sorrowing relatives and
friends, did not fall from the foot
bridge near Basalt as at first reported,
but was playing across the river oppo-
site the school house with another lit
tie girl at the noon hour. In some un-
known way she fell from the bank on
the rocks and was either stunned or
killed by blow just back Of the ear,
for on the recovery of the body deep
cash was found on the head that might
have produced death.
As soon as little Vida fell the child
playing with her gave the alarm and
Miss Esther Wheatley, teacher of the
school, followed the floating body
down the bank for half mile, but
was unable to reach it. Finally Mr..
Mizer waded out half way across tho
river to catch the child and in so do;
ing was twice in imminent danger Of
losing his own life. DR.. Kennedy and
DR.. Will Guilds worked for four hours
to resusitate the little girl, but it was
of no avail. The end had come, Wilda
Dobson was no more of earth,

sage from Rome and that he invited
an expression from the British govera-
ment.
The belief prevails here that prior to
the receipt of Germany's reply to the
United States demands in which the
German government made reference to
its desire that the war might be ended,
Ambassador Gerard had informed this
government of what occurred at his
conference with Emperor William at
field headquarters.
The feeling is growing that the Ger
man emperor informed the American
ambassador of tentative terms upon
which Germany would enter into a
peace discussion and that this govern
ment was authorized to feel out the
allied powers.
1t was stated in an official quarter
today that all belligerent countries
might be able to fight two years long
er but that the results would not jus
tify the expenditure in lives and money
from the allies point of view, and
that if they could be persuaded to rc-
alize this the war would be brought
appreciably nearer its close.
It was also said today that Presideu:
Wilson believes the war will end by
this fall.

BRIEF SESSION

A recessed meeting of the city coun-
ell was held last Tuesday evening at
the council chambers and several mat
