Peter Poos, aged forty-seven,
dropped dead this morning about
1920, while walking with his physici-
an to the automobile which was to
convey him to hospital for treat
ment. He lived with his wife and
family at ITO Sixth avenue, and as it
was impossible for an automobile TO
drive up to the residence, it was
necessary for him to walk q short
distance down Fifth avenue to the
machine. Mr.. Poos was employed at
the round house, and was taken sud-
denly ill two days ago, his disease
being a very rare affection of the
throat, due to a poisonous infection of
the larynX, which rapidly closed up the
throat passages causing death by
strangulation The surviving relatives
are the widow and five children.
Funeral announcements will be made
later.

ANN|A|LATEs DISTANCE

Some one has said that "Distance
lends enchantment to the view,' but
Walter H. Pike of Glenwood does not
believe il. Mr.. Pike is a recent ar
rival in Glenwood and is employed by
the state as foreman at the road camp
in the Glenwood canon.
Some years ago Mr.. Pike came to
Colorado from his home in Maine. He
came to this state in search of health
and not until he reached Canon City
was he able to sleep. He liked the
place and applied at the penitentiary
for a position as guard and was given
work. He soon discovered that the
matron, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Kerst,
was an old childhood friend and lover
whom he had known in the eastern
home.
Friendship soon ripened into love
and the two plighted their troth, but
after Mr.. Pike was taken to the road
camp near Boulder Mrs. Kerst went to
Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where she
now resides.
Last Sunday Mr.. Pike called at the
Presbyterian manse and told Rev. Mr..
Wells that he wanted to be married.
CAN right,' replied the pastor, "but
where is the bridef" He was told
that she was in Sioux Falls, but Mr..
Pike said he had made arrangements
with the telephone company for the
undisturbed use Of the wire while the
ceremony was being performed by
phone.
Witnesses were arranged At each end
Of the line and the ceremony was per-
formed, the questions and responses
being given through 1885 miles Of cop
per wire. This was unique expert
ence and it took 80 minutes to com
plete the ceremony and the telephone
toll was $5.01, but who cares for ex.
pcnses at such a timei Not Willard
Pike who went away happy and who
has since been receiving many congrat-
ulatious.

Vaughn Aebtr|ing Fined $3.50
and Costs for Failure to
Pay Monthly AIimony
Agreement REACHED

Court orders are usually made to be
enforced and for the purpose of right
ing an unfortunate condition, but some
people seem to think they are just an
avenue of amusement for the judge,
who will forget about it if they are
ignored.
Judge Smith of the county court
feels that he has been altogether too
lenient towards some of those against
whom orders have been issued from
his court, and Wednesday when Vaughn
Heberling, formerly of Glenwood but
now of Marble, was brought before
him, charged with violating the court S
order to pay SIS month alimony to
his former wife, Alice, the court, on
the prisoners confession that the
charge against him was true, fined him
$3.50 and remanded him to the county
Jail until fine and costs were paid.
In July, 1913, Mrs. Alice Demersch-
man Heberling secured divorce from
Vaughn on charges Of serious nature
and was awarded alimony in the sum
Of 425 monthly. This was paid for a
time and then Vaughn ceased his con-
tributions for the support Of his for
mer wife and was cited into court. lie
pleaded hard luck and his inability to
pay the amount assessed against him
and, with the consent Of Mrs. Hcber-
ling, the amount was reduced TO 4l6 .

The original complaint is quite
lengthy and recites many acts of NAL
feasance against Rosenberg. Whether
the complaint will be substantiated of
course depends upon whether the com
plainants are to be given an opportu-
nifty to present their evidence. In his
application for an junction Mr.. Rosen-
berg makes no effort to show that the
laws have been changed or that the
statute providing for the hearing which
he resists has been repealed.
Mr. Rosenberg, in the face of an
order Of removal by the governor has
persisted in holding the office several
months after his successor was ap-
pointed and qualified.
Judge Shumate is now confined to
his home with lumbago, but the legal
questions involved will probably be
argued and disposed of the first of
next week if the judge is able to ap-
pear in court.
