IMPORTANT NOTICE.

Any special width Of a public road,
less than 80 feet, must be sustained
by the COUNTY records, otherwise the
width of the right of way Of our coun-
ty roads, is not less than thirty feet.
Fences on this right of way, un.
der our recently amended road law,
are distractions, and rs such are sub
Ject to removal or to be set back, I'M
der penalty, on three days notice from
the County Road Department.
While very evident that such an ar
bitrary move would inflict considera-
BILE pecuniary loss and Inconvenience
upon our people, and might be from
many standpoints, most inadvisable,
nevertheless it is not to be inferred
that the county through inactivity in
this respect, resigns the prerogative
OF removing at any time any or all
fences obstructing the right of way.
l would earnestly request, there
fore, in order to meet the require
ments of the law, as it behooves ev-
cry good citizen that you kindly COOP
crate with your road department in
supporting the legal status by hereaf-
ter, and from this date, when con-
structlng new fences or repairing and
replacing the old along the public
road, set the same on the line of
right of way. If in doubt as to said
line, advise the road department,
which will render immediate advice or
service.
All fences constructed or renewed
subsequent to this notice, when built
On the public right of way, will be re-
garded as instructions, and the prop
er action for the removal thereof will
be taken as the law directs.

Eventually. near dawn, he consented
to go back and she made him promise
on his bended knee. With victory
within her grasp, the strain became
too great and she tainted. Her limp
figure reused the convict's courage: /:
he lifted her, weakened though he was.
and carried her out of that hell-hole
of maniacsl sound.
The cool waters of the creek revived
her. Together they wended their way
to Canon City and to the warden's Of
fee. He received them cordially in
audience and she told of the young
mans resolve, touching not even for
an instant upon her heroic fight to
bring him to the decision.
The warden told the fugitive that
he must serve out his sentence. but
because he had come back of~his own
accord, something unusual in prison
annals, his good time" that he had
previously gained would not be taken
away.
A year later he came forth stripped
of the shackles of shame He was
free to go where he liked. Together
again. they set out this time into the
world 1t is said they went to South
America, where. free from unpleasant
illusions. they are living life of hap
piness. with the halo of well-ripened
years Frightening their closing days.
Thus 1t was that the terrors OF that
gruesome Devils theatre. where so
many tragedies are said to have been
enacted. brought to one couple at
least wealth and happiness.
