Why Blame the Pig?

Exchange: An old farmer and his
wife We're standing by their pigsty
looking at their only pig, when the
old lady said:
Say, John, it be our silver we'd
ding tomorrow. Let's kill the pig. "
John replied, with disgust:
whats the use of numbering the
poor pig for what happened twenty
five years ago."

A six foot walk here, eight foot

FOUND DEAD IN CABIN NEAR
GUNNiSON LAST THURSDAY

Although John Claes, the aged pros
pector who had lived up the gulch
from Tomichi creek, toward Signal
Peak for some years, plainly been dead
for some days, his body was not dis
covered until Thursday morning. No
one had seen him for several weeks.
and Thursday morning Joe David sent
his children up to look around. They
found him dead in his cabin, at least
by looking through hole in the door
they could see his feet on the bed.
The stencil was too bad to enter.
Coroner Geo. L. Miller was at once
ing taking Marshal Whip and Clar-
ence Adams as undertaken in charge.
AS we go to press Thursday after
noon it is learned that the body was
SO badly decomposed that it was bur
led at the cabin or dugout where the
old man had existed so many years.
Claes came to this region from Wal
senburg some fifteen years ago. He
m1neO at BALDWIN ana tnen prOSpecteu
around Chance, and it was here some
twelve years ago that his feet were
frozen stiff. He was a member of the
Odd Fellows lodge of Walsenburg.
and the lodge sent out team to bring
him in. After a spell at the county
hospital here. he recovered enough
to go prospecting again, and for the
past twelve years has made his head
quarters at his present cabin and dug
dozens of holes in the sandstone and
porphry around Signal Peak. Once a
month or whereabouts. the old man
would come stumping into town, tin
can over the stump OF one foot and
a sack Wrapped around his head. He
seemed to have little property in
Walsenburg, but this is believed to
have been entirely used up during the
past year.
Nothing is known OF his relatives,
except that he was of German parent
age.-Gunnison News-Champion.

Milton Welch wore his coat in the

an indication that the Elk's couldn't
furnish him with exercise enough to
keep him warm, or whether 1t was

A five inning game was played re-
plete with funny stunts. John Davis

George Bruce, Junior. wore the mask

work. The Elks succeeded in putting
it over a trifle, winning to the tune

ACTION IN MAKING ARRESTS
WAS NOT PREMEDITATED

Several Montrose people who came
ed until night and some of the par
ties we're arrested for violation of the
traffic ordinance.
There seemed to be a feeling that
even on account of our losing the
ball game. AS a matter of fact, the
city fathers have been enforcing this
law whether the parties hailed
from north, south, east or west, or
claimed Delta as their residence. To
assume that it was used as a means
of retrieving lost fortunes, as it were.
is too ridiculous to be credited. A
number of local persons donated cash
to show their good faith, and rather
than have them embarrassed in that
way.
Let's appeal to our manhood-our
womanhood. Honestly. wasn't that
the most wonderful game you ever
saw-wonderful from every view
point? Let's forget It and treasure
deep in our hearts the memory OF
the most splendid amateur ball play
ing ever witnessed anywhere, between
the two best minor league teams in
the state.
We lost, someone had to lose
someone had to win, but we are none
the less proud of our own team and
for once take off our hats to Montrose.
