CONVICT ESCAPES FROM
R0AD-MAKlMG CAMP


Dudley Cannon, convict No. 9764 on
the peni.entiary register, escaped from
the prison road making camp in Glen
wood canon in Garfield county be-
tween s and 10 O'Clock last Saturday
night and has not yet been appre-
hended Ly the authorities, although a
strong effort is being made to effect
his capture.
Cannon is described as t3ll man,
very slender, with sharp aquilline nose
and black hair and mustache.
Cannon aroused the suspicious of
other inmates of the camp Saturday
morning when he did not appear at
breakfast, feigning illness. Commits
sary Riddeil, the camp medical aide,
attended him and Cannon refused t
take any medicine of any kind. RID
dell then called in a half dozen men
and used force to administer a large
dose of castor oil to the recalcitrant
Cannon then stayed in his tent the
rest of the day and was in his bunk
at the o'clock roll call. When the
night watchman made his rounds at
10 he was missing.
Officers of Glenwood and the sur
rounding country were notified of the
escape at once and asked to keep a
sharp lookout for the man. Cannon
was sent to the camp from the prison
about SIX months ago and would have
been released in another sixty days

FORCE AT RADIANT MINE
WILL Be INCREASED

Superintendent James struthers of
the Victor American Fuel company's
Radiant nine was in the city from
Pyrolite yesterday and brought some
encourag ging news concerning the fu-
ture operation of that property. Mr..
Struthers stated that he received or
ders from comrany headquarters the
first of the week to the effct that he
mine would work at least three days
week and probably four. The com
pany has disposed of all the stock
coal miend during the dull months of
last summer and amounting to 5000
tons. This coal was drawn out of the
slope and dumped along the ground
for a great distance. 1t is in splendid
condition and finds ready market.
The stock coal has been sold, II is un-
derstood, to the power company at
Canon City and Pueblo and the force
of men will be employed one day
week in loading it on the cars.
The fact that this property will work
better will be gratifying news to the
people of this vicinity, as it has been
reported during the past week that
the Victor American company was
planning to close the mine down and
center their operations at Chandler
1t is understood that the Chandler prop
erty OF this company will also op-
crate on a more extensive scale

The first move will be to raise s10,-

AT RESCUE MISSION

Chris Collins died at the Rescue
mission. 221 Man street, at 8 O'Clock
this morning from an attack of the
grip and complications after a couple
of months illness. Deceased was born

Mr.. Collins, who had been mining
prospector in the Cripple Creek dis
trict for several years, was brought
to the mission here Jan. 1 ) sick, pen
niless and without friends. A nhys:-
sian was called to attend him and for
short time he seemed to get better,
but couple of weeks ago he contract
strength and vitality was left Realiz
ing that there was little hope of re
covery the patient resigned himself
to his impending fate and calmly await
ed the end. He became converted at
the mission and expressed himself a;
the last as ready to go.
The story OF Mr., Collins life as toll
to The Daily Record is a most pitifui
one and can hardly fail to awaken the
sympathy of those who are familiar
with it. He was living in San Fran
cisco in prosperous and happy circum
stances when the earthquake and fire
swept that city some eight or ten years
ago. His home was destroyed hy the
flames. two of his children burned to
death and his employment taken away
by that great catastrophe. Shortly
afterwards he came to Colorado to
engage in mining, but he had not been
here long until his wife and only re
naming child died from grief and ahrd
shirs of the life they had undergone
The remains were taken charge of
by the undertaken shortly after his
death and were buried in Lakeside
cemetery at O'Clock this afternoon.

FRUIT GROWERS PRE-
PARE FOR BIG CROP

Preparations for the biggest year
that has ever been enjoyed by the
fruit growers of the upper Arkansas
valley are being made at this time.
according to @. H. Blashingham. trav-
cling freight agent for the Santa Fe,
who has Just returned from a business
trip to Canon City and Florence.
The fruit growers of this district
have already received large shipments
of scalecide and arsenate of lead and
have started the work OF saving the
fruit crop early. The trees are being
sprayed in all sections and the farm
ers believe that the liggest crop ever
grown In the district will result.
Last season a big yield was harvest
ed by the orchardists of that section
and plans are being made for still
greater one this year. The farmers
expect higher price for the produce
this year than last and will market
their produce through The various Can
on City dealers and associations en-
gagged in that line of business.
There is strong cooperative spirit
among the ranchers of the Canon City
district now than has heretofore been
the case and they will sell their small
fruits and berries in such a way as to
secure the best possible returns to the
grower.-Pueblo chieftain.

ORGAaiLING FISH
CLUB IN P EBL0

Organizations for the propagation
of g-me fish and the stocking of the
Arkansas river. its tributaries AMI the
reservoirs in the Arkansas valley is
being considered by a numter of prom
inent business men of Pueblo Nho met
Thurs lay noon at the Commerce club
with E. A. Bradbury, secretary of the
Canon City Chamber of Commerce.
Mr.. Bradbury came to Pueblo yes
terday for the express purpose of
talking over the matter with Pueblo
people.
During the last year the Canon City
Chamber of Commerce bas been pro-
pogating trout fol. the purro e of
Last fall many thousands of baby
troat were placed in Philiprs Meadow
reservoirs near Coaldale by the Canon
City people and a few days ago 10000
were rele sed in the Arkansas river.
Some of the fish have reached size
of seven or eli hit inches and are said
to be nice and fat. The state laws
now prevent the pollution of the river
so fish may live in it and the idea
of stocking the stream had two-fold
purpose. First, the local fishermen
want real sport second. well-stock
ed stream will attract tourists.
1t was deemed wise hy those who
attended the NEE ing at the Com
merce club to organize the Arkansas
valley Fish club and have branches in
every town in the Arkansas valley as
far east as the Kansas state line.
Trout would not be the only fish
propagated, as there are other game
fish, such as bass, which would do
well in Colorado. Bass would be used
for the reservoirs of which there are
now a large number in the Arkansas
valley.
1t is believed that this will induce
many tourists to spend the summers
in Colorado and not just pass through.
The tourist trade is increasing, it is
said.
asst summer many fine catches were
made up to four pounds in the river.
Since the completion of the Parkdale
Cotopaxi automobile highway the Ar
kansas river between the Royal Gorge
and Salida has become one of the most
accessible fishing resorts in the state,
the road paralleling the river for over
fifty miles. Throughout the entire
length the river may be reached with
out encroaching on private property
and beautiful camping spots and pic
mic grounds may be found in hundreds
of places.
1t is the ambition of the Canon City
Chamber of Commerce to make the
hanks of the Arkansas river from
Canon Cityl to Salida one of the most
interesting summer Fairgrounds in
America, to be visited annually not
only by pleasure seekers from Pu-
ohio Danyr md otbar rnIorada cft;as
and towns, but by visiting autoists
from all parts of the United States
