TELLS OF The EARLY
SETTLEMENT OF CENTRAL
PART OF COLORADO

Alderman Lafe Combs returned
home on an early train this morning
from a three weeks business visit to
Brighton, Central City, Black Hawk
and other towns in the central part
of the state. Mr.. Combs was interest
ed in the incidents related to him of
the early settlement of that part of
Colorado and in speaking of them this
afternoon said:
Sixty years ago Central City was
the most important point between the
Missouri river and Salt Lake. The
old Teller House, at the time it was
built in 1872, and for several years
afterwards, was the largest and best
eu one hundred and fifty rooms and
cost $4,000. Its rates to guests
were five dollars a day and many nota
BILE people stopped there in the
palmy period of its history. 1t enter
tanned as its guest General U. S.
Grant while returning to New York
from his trip around the world. He
walked from his carriage to the office
of the hostelry on gold and silver
bricks that had been placed there in
his honor. Today only a small part
of the Teller House is occupied and
the landlord pays only twenty dollars
month rent for it. For several years
after its erection it was constantly
crowded with patronage.
The first smelter in the United
States was built at Black Hawk and
for many years it did big business.
Henry NJ. Stanley, the famous Afri-
can traveller and discoverer of David
Livingstone, worked on Smelter
chimney as a prospactor and spent
u min in a
Central City and Black Hawk Thorn
as Walsh worked as a carpenter in
Central City in an early day and
Senator Clark of Montana prospected
there as miner about the same
time
The Methodist church at Central
City was built in the early sixties
and was the largest and finest place
of worship anywhere west of Fort
Leavenworth half century ago. Rev.
DR.. Vincent, brother of Bishop Vim
cent, built and dedicated the church
and a few years ago celebrated with
special service the fiftieth anniver-
sary of its erection. II has been Rev.
Vincent's custom to preach in the old
church once every twelve months
for more than fifty years.
The Central City opera house when
back in territorial days was the
most pretentious playhouse in all the
Rocky Mountain region. and all of
the great stars of the American stage
in that early day filled engagements
there; Booth, Barrett and other fam
Gus players appearing there.
George NJ. Pullman. founder of the
Pullman Car company. prospected as
miner in Russell's gulch, about two
miles south of Central City, and it
was while living in a log cabin there
that he conveived the idea of the
sleeping car and worked out his
plans for its invention.
William l.. Douglas, the great
Shoe manufacturer and governor of
Massachusetts, was struggling cob
bler-Black Hawk before Denver
was laid out.

JACKLING'S YACHT
ALMOST WRECKED

The s25O.000 steam yacht Cyprus"
owned by ID. c. Jackling of Salt Lake
City and San Francisco. managing di-
rector of the Utah Copper company.
narrowly escaped being wrecked in
the dangerous waters of Hell gate in
East river, New York, on Thursday
of this week. The steering gear of
the Cyprus became deranged as the
vessel was entering He'll gate at
Scaly Rock on her way to anchorage
in East River off Twenty-First street.
Boatmen saw the yacht veer out of
the channel and swerve for the dan
gerous rocks of Niger head. At the
same instant her siren began sound
ing signals of distress. II was evil
dent that something had gone wrong
and the craft was in great danger
of striking on the rocks.
Several boats put out to her assist
ance and the big yacht was then
Strengthened and towed safely thru
Hell Gate and around Hallet's point
into the waters of East river. Mr..
Jackling formerly resided in Canon
City and will be remembered as the
superintendent of the plant of the
United States Reduction & Refining
company here.

DR.. VAWTER HOME
FROM OELHART, TEXAS

DR. G. A. Vawter returned to Canon
City at noon today from a combined
business and pleasure visit of ten
days duration to Dalhart, Texas. and
other points in that section of the
country. An incident of his outing
was a quail shooting trip with a party
of friends into the agricultural dis
tricts of New Mexico. He says they
found birds plentiful and several days
of excellent sport was enjoyed.
DIR. Vawter says political feeling Is
running high in Texas and New Mex
leo and many bets are being made by
the partisans of both Hughes and
Wilson on the outcome of the presi-
Dental contest. At Clayton. New
Mexico, partisanship is particularly
strong. according to DIR. Vawter. and
'e tells of rancher near there who
is having great deal of trouble with
his employees as a result of 1t. This
rancher employees large number of
Mexicans and they are about equally
divided in their political learnings.
They quarrelled bitterly about Hugh
es and Wilson and the rancher had
TO put them 10 work in different parts
of the estate to prevent riot and
bloodshed. There are more than a
hundred men on the ranch and the
two factions not only had to be separ-
ated. but given their meals and lodg-
ings in widely different places to
avoid trouble over the controversy
that has arisen between them.

PARKDALE FISH POND
EMPTIED FRIDAY

Theodore NJ. Harding, chairman of
the fish and game committee of the
Canon City Chamber of Commerce,
in company with r. l.. Sears. u. l..
Robson and Sam Bash, motored to
Parkdale on Friday where they liber-
ated in the Arkansas river the Rain
bow and Eastern brook trout fry plac-
I'D in the propogating pond there
last spring. The fish made a good
growth during the summer months
and aried from three to four and a
half inches in length when turned in
to the river. There were in the pond
approximately 100000 Rainbow trout
and 10000 Eastern brook trout.
There are 100000 Rainbow trout in
the Coaldale retaining pond. which
will be released during the next few
days. 1t is said by pisciculturists
that the cannibalistic instinct of
trout is strongly developed during
the winter months. and if confined
within small Enclosures during that
part of the year will prey upon each
other in a most disastrous manner
1t is to minimize this self-destruction
that they are now being turned into
the river.

BAD EFFECT OF HERD LAW
SHOWN IN WINDOW DISPLAY

The dire effect of the proposed
Denver Post Herd Law if 1t is pass
ed, is aptly and clearly shown in
clever window display exhibit in the
Keable's building 413-415 Main st.
Mr.. VIM. Esser suggested the stunt
and Mr.. Frank Higgins and Mr.. Dud-
ley Van Buskirk of the Fremont Cat
tlemen's Association were instrument
tai in furthering and developing the
idea. Practically all of the work.
lighting. equipment. and the use of
the building were donated to the
cause.
Mr. Alya Wood. who has develop
ed into remarkable artist. and who
displays exceptional talent in paint
ing western scenes. made both of the
backgrounds.
Mr.. w. ]. McCarron, who is consid-
cred one of the best window dress
ers in the west, arranged the display.
Both men are to be commended for
their splendid efforts in behalf of the
defeat of the Herd Law.
In one window is seen an ideal
ranch of today, with fences in good
repair, ranch house in a well kept
condition. stock fat and sleek,
happy cowboy in the foreground and
general air of prosperity and con-
teltment all about. This is a true-to
life picture of today.
In the other window is depicted
the conditions as they will be soon af-
ter the proposed herd law goes into
effect, if 1t is passed by the people
of the state.
delapidated ranch house is shown
fences torn asunder, rotten posts wilt
ing in their holes and a general air
of detection pervades the atmosphere.
ragged and forlorn appearing boy
with a small herd of skinny calves
ekeing out bare existence is shown
in the foreground. A printed card
bears the information to the effect
that the boy cannot go to school be-
cause he must stay home and herd
the calves because the law has forced
him to do so. The calves must be
herded because they are the only
hope of starving and poverty strick
en- family and the boys hope of an
education and a future is blighted
thereby.
The pictures are not overdrawu in
their contrast, but. according to the
cattlemen they tell an actual story
of before and after"
Everyone who has the least doubt
as to how they stand on this Herd
Law and also those who are not
opposed to 1t should see this exhibit
and then 1t would be well to think
the matter over.

CHANGED MIND; TAKES
REMAINS OF DAUGHTER
BACK TO DENVER

Mrs. L. L. O'Brien of Denver arriv-
ed here Thursday evening with bur-
ial casket containing the remains of
her deceased daughter, Miss Beatrice
Ellsworth, who died in Denver near
ly ten years ago, with the intention OF
having them inferred in Lakeside
cemetery. This morning Mrs. O'Brien
stated that she had changed her mind
about the burial and ordered the body
shipped back to Denver to be placed
in receiving vault until she could
come to some decision in the matter.
The death certificate placed in the
hands of Mr.. Simpson, the undertake
er with whom Mrs. O'Bren had ar
ranged to take charge of the inter
ment shows that Miss Ellsworth died
in Denver on December 9th, 1906 was
placed III a mauseleum at Crown Hill
cemetery in Denver few days after
death and remained there until
brought to Canon City on Thursday.
Mrs. O'Brien said this morning
that she had never lived here, but
resided at Florence for a short time
twelve or thirteen years ago. One day
she drove to Canon City with party
of friends from Florence and was so
impressed with the attractive location
and surroundings of Lakeside ceme-
leIS on Lincoln BaFh as to never lOr-
get it. After her daughters death
Mrs. O'Brien travelled all over the
country to find the suitable place in
which to bury her, but nowhere
could she find place that was quite
satisfactory. She visited large num
Der of cemeteries in the eastern states
in search OF a sepulChre. but was
unable to make a selection Later
she went to California with the same
quest in view and made an inspection
of the cemeteries at Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Portland, Oregon, and
other cities, but with equally futile
results. Following these years of in
vestigation and research she remem-
bered the cemetery in Canon City
that she had thought so pretty on that
summer afternoon more than a decade
ago and decided to make it the last
resting place of her loved one.
She visited Lakeside cemetery this
morning, but the recollection of it
that had fingered in her mind so
long was not quite redeemed by its
appearance when the leaves had fall
en- from the trees and tn lawns were
brown because of the decaying of the
grass. In the disappointment over
her failure to realize the dream she
had so long entertained she told the
undertaken to send the body back to
the mausoleum in Crown Hill ceme-
terry to be retained until place
more agreeable to her for its inter
ment could be found.
