before the curtain is drawn on the 1917
basketball season. A quartet of games
remains yet to be played by the fast
high school quintet and although the
locals have passed the most dangerous
games of the year, every one of the
four to be played will be worth the
price to fans.
Probably the hardest game to be

Found Dead With Bullet in
His Brain at Cabin Near
Grand Valley
NO WITNESS TO DEED

About seven clock last Sunday
morning in a little cabin on Wallace
! creek, about seven miles southwest of
Grand Valley, Joe Craft of this city
was found dead with bullet hole in
his left temple and beside him on the
floor of the cabin lay the gun which
ended the man s life.
Mr.. Craft had for some time been IN
charge of band Of sheep which he
and his son-in-law, W. L. Swick of this
city, had recently purchased in Mon
taLa, Charles Marshall of Glenwood also
being part owner of the flock.
Mr.. Craft and the sheep herder, Hans
Behman, arose early and gave the nes-
essary attention to the sheep and Mr..
Craft remained with the. flock while
his companion went into nearby tdat
to prepare breakfast. When breakfast
was ready Behman went to the door Of
the tent and called to Mr.. Craft, but
did not see him nor did he receive any
answer in reply. He returned to the
tent and kept the breakfast warm,
thinking his employer would soon come
in.
Growing uneasy he nerder again
went out to find Nj. Craft and bring
him to breakfast. Calling to him, he
received no response. He entered The
cabin which they used as a bedroo:n
and was Mortified to find Mr.. Craft
lying on the floor with the warm life
blood trickling from the gunshot wound
in his temple, his revolver lying by his
| side.
The young man aroused the neigh
bors and found tEat some of them hal
recently heard shot from the direction
of the cabin. The herder, who had been
standing over the stove while tAe
breakfast was cooking, had not heard
the shot, hut says he would have
thought nothing of it anyway, since
they had been losing several sheep and
lambs from coyotes ard had been shoot
ing at the animals whenever one ap.
peared in range.
The Young man sent the news 70
Glcnwcod as soon as possible and Cor
oner Hopkins deputized James Martin
of the Farnum mortuary to bring the
body to Glenwood. Mr.. Martin returned
Monday morning with the body and the
funeral was held from the Craft-Swick
residence Wednesday afternoon, inter-
ment being in Rosebud. The services
were conducted by Rev. Wm. Pepper,
pastor of the Methodist church.
Mr.. Craft was 54 years of age and IS
survived by his wife and four daugh-
ters, the Misses Nellie and Leila Craft
and Mrs w. L. Swick of this city and
Mrs. Henry Lewis of Independ-
ence, Missouri, all of whom were pres
ent at the funeral.

been defeated by them in easy manner
and they have been unanimously pro-

the Routt county boys by a score of
Ills.
Centennial High school of Pueblo,
North aCnon City and Sterling are the
other three home games to be played
by the Terrors. North Canon has al
ready been beaten by decisive score
on its home floor and little trouble is
anticipated from that source. The Cel-
tennial game will be the first contest
between the teams since the severance
of athletic relations several years ago.
Trinidad, team beaten by the Terrors
by score of 1922, won from the Pu-
eblo team, however. Sterling is an ,un-
known quantity, but the upstaters are
not considered strong enough to throw
any extensive surprise into the Terror
camp.
Centennial comes here next Friday
for the first game after the resumption
of athletic relations between the two
schools. Spirit is running high at the
high school over this game, and the in.

WILL SHOW IN EAST

The illustrated lecture by Ellsworth
l.. Kolb at the Orpheum last Tuesday
evening was one of the best depictions
of wild mountain scenery and thrilling
and hair-raising adventure ever shown
on the screen in this city. showing rare
Photographic skill and painstaking ,f
fort to capture one of Colorado's chief
assets, her scenery, and transfer it to
the canvas. In other words, many who
cannot go personally to these points Of
scenic beauty may now have the
scenery brought to them, where they
can enjoy it in ease and comfort.
A fair audience greeted Mr. .Kolb,
although it is believed that had the
public more fully realized the import
ance of an exhibition of this kind and
the great personal risk taken by Mr..
Kolb in securing these pictures they
would have shown more appreciation
of his efforts.
The remarkable clearness of the pic
lures, although for the most part taken
under great difficulties, greatly pleased
the audience and caused much specula-
tion as to how it was possible to catch
some of the scenes which Mr.. Kolb
has transferred to the canvas.
One of the first views was colored
picture of Hanging lake, showing this
most wonderful scenery gem in all its
rich beauty, and Mr.. -Kolb and Nj.
Kirwan of this city n have received
many compliments upon this picture
which was made from an outhanging
cliff where it was impossible to use
tripod, it being necessary to tie the
camera to the limb of a pine tree, and
it is safe to say that few, if any, of
the audience would have cared to take
the place on the tree, occupied by Mr..
Kolb when he pressed the bulb.
Mr.. Kolb accompanies the-sldes and
the motion pictures by an interesting
lecture descriptive of his travels and
adventures and proved himself man
ambitious to succeed in his undertake
ings, but brave also beyond the ordin-
ary mortal.
As Mr.. Kolb described how he and
his companion negotiated Shoshone
falls and explained the effort and fail
ure to run the angry rapids of the
Black canon, after many upsets and the
wrecking of their boat, his auditors
were forced to wonder how he was able
to extract any sort of enjoyment out
of such a hazardous undertaking.
The scene at Hanging lake wherein
Miss Selma Altman of this city, garbed
in Grecian costume, plunged into the
icy water and swan across the lake
was greatly enjoyed by our people as
were also the swimming scenes at the
big Glenwood pool while the ground
was covered with snow, and the coast
ing scenes on Glenwood's streets.
