hand Mr.. Hewitt, out of chautauqua
season attends the university at Lin
coin, Nebr. and teaches in the high
school, Miss Munson is an instructor
in the Lincoln schools and Mr.. Ford is
an Evangalistic singer during the win
ter months.
The three members of this chautau-
qua "crew' were chosen from over
three hundred applicants and are max
ing big success of the work thus far.
Their system will take in the states
of Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Mon
tana, South Dakota, Iowa. Colorado,
Utah and Oklahoma and will cover 14O
engagements.
The talent of the Standard Lyceum
and Chautauqua system costs about
$1,000 a week and it plays out to rail
roads fully 100000 year.
Glenwood Springs has been most for
tunate in having such an aggregation
of high class artists at its forst Chan-
tauqua and it is to be hoped this is
but the beginning of these yearly
treats.
At the opening session a full concert
was given by the Tyrolean Alpine
Singers and Yodlers, and from that
hour the success of the chautauqui
seemed assured. In the evening over
500 people listened to DR.. Cyrus >.
Nusbaum, and it is seldom indeed that
Glenwood has had an opportunity to
hear so gifted speaker.
The Wednesday afternoon session
was larger than on Tuesday, and Wed.

NARROW ESCAPE

w. L.. Girdner and party Of friends
while returning from Glenwood Sat-
urday night, had a very narrow escape
from serious injury, when the auto in
which they were riding went over the
bank at point near the Station ranch.
The lights on the car went ''punk, -
making it hard for Mr.. Girdner, who
was driving, to follow the road, and
when at the point above mentioned the
car went over the grade while round
ing . slight curve. Some of the occu-
pants were thrown out, receiving minor
bruises. The car was considerably
damaged. It is fortunate that the car
did not turn completely over, which, 1t
seemed, would be the inevitable result,
and Il still remains . mystery Whist pre-

PLuaaHRs COMING
TO aLENwooD

Through the kindness of DR.. Randall
of Red Cliff the Post is informed that
the Colorado State Dental association
which met last week in Manitou, had
decided to hold it's 1917 meeting in
Glenwood Springs.
The vote was a tie between Glenwood
and Manitou, but the new president,
Dr.. E. R. Warner of Grand Junction,
cast the deciding vote for Glenwood
Springs.
Inasmuch as there are but about 10
dentists on the western slope and over
800 on the eastern slope, Glenwood
should feel highly complimented in
landing this convention.
At the next annual session it is pro-
posed to embody some post graduate
work and the session may continue a
week or more.
The Glenwood post., 1916-06-24

most every town on the western slope,
some coming on the regular trains and
a special train from Somerset, Hotch,
kiss, Montrose and Delta brought in
over 1855 people. The Meekerites came
2lO strong and it was the intention of
Glenwood that not one visitor should
depart feeling other than that all had
been given royal welcome and been
we'll entertained
Much favorable comment was heard
from the visitors on the size and ex-
cellcnce of tho crowd, which served As
q rebuke to the pessimistic prophets
who less than year ago declared that
Day would not be possible
without the support which it received
from the saloons. 1t is pleasing 10
know that however sincere these people
may have been they proved that as
prophets they were sorry failures.

ON GRAND
VALLEY WRECK

Denver, June ia poorly ballasted
roadbed, rotten ties and absence of
spikes and tie-plates, together with a
rate of speed excessive in view of the
condition of the track and roadbed at
this point, are declared in report
issued Saturday by the State Public
Utilities commission to have been the
direct cause of the wreck of Denver s.
Rio Grande train No. 2, known as "The
Atlantic Coast Limited,' near Grand
Valley, Colorado, early on the morning
of May 80 last.
Twenty passengers and four employees
were injured, several seriously, and the
fact that the equipment was all-steel
prevented fatalities when the engine,
tender and cars overturned, according
to the report.
Photographs Of the accident and of
the roadbed of the railroad, showing
the shattered condition of the trucks
and the rotten ties and loose spikes at
considerable distances on each ide of
the scene of the wreck, accompany the
report and give mute, indisputaLle evil
dence as to the causes of the wreck.
In concluding its report, the COM
mission recommends to the Rio Grandc
Railroad company that it remedy condi
tions on this division of its road and
thus relieve the commission of the ne
cessity of entering formal order re-
quiring this action.

Barney What|ey Of the sev-

ent to Save Sister
may NOT Be TRIED

Breckenridge, Colo, June 22.-Barney
L. Whatley, district attorney for the
Fifth. Colorado district, which include.
Lake, Summit and Eagle counties, last
night shot and instantly killed his faith
er, Martin W. Whatley, in their home
on a ranch on Copper flats, three miles
from breckenridge. The father had
been abusing his daughter and her one
year-old child and had ended by taking
up shotgun with the declaration that
he would kill her. The district attor-
ney grabbed revolver and fired twice
before his father could pull the trigger
of his gun.
When Barney Whstley realized that
his father lay dead at his feet he
dropped beside the corpse, exclaiming:
"Oh, God! I wish l had let him get
me instead!''
AS soon as his sister was able to
calm him the young district attorney
telephoned to Sheriff Detwiler, in
Breckenridge, telling him Of the killing
He then got into his automobile and
drove to Breckenridge, whore he gave
himself up to the sheriff. He was not
placed in Jail, but becane nominally
the sheritf's prisoner, spending last
night at the sheri1 g home and all Il /,
TO-DAY In the shsri1k,s s1DsS. Al -
quest will be held tSnorrsw afternoon.
when Mr.. Whatley's deputy, Attorney
Bonner, will represent the state.
Sentiment in Breckenridge and the
surrounding country holds young What
ley fully justified in the killing of his
father. The sympathy of the commune
ty is entirely with the young man.
Ever since he has lived in that section
he has been noted for the burden he
carried in supporting his family. He
has been remarked as shining exam
pie of self.sacrifice on the altar OF
family ties.
The family came to Colorado from
Birmingham, Ala. The father, mother.
six sons and two daughters all were
tubercular. Although only "a years old
when he came west, alone, in 1910,
Barney Whatley won his fight for
health, made home in Summit county
and then brought all the other members
Of his family out from Birmingham,
installed them on the ranch near Breek-
enridge, where they lived an outdoor
existence.
Young barney never became strong,
but his health improved to the point
where he practiced law successfully and
made a place for himself in politics.
He supported the entire family and yet
had time to fulfill the duties of his
office as district attorney of the three
counties. He even attained n measure
of fame as the man who pushed to a
Breckenridge Chamber of Commerce
against the Colorado & Southern rail-
road, by which the railway was COM
PEELED to reopen and operate the aban-
doned portion Of its main line between
Como and Breckenridge, completing the
direct line from Leadville to Denver.
The elder Whatley who met his death
last night, was 81 years old. Although
consumptive, he was man of powerful
physique, against whom his diminutive
son was no match in a physical encoua-
ter. Neighbour say he was a man II
violent temper, who frequently flew
into RACES bordering ON insanity.
