AGED CATTLEMAN Is
SUFFERING FROM INJURY

For some weeks friends have noted
that Silas d. Pollock had been failing
mentally, and Of late it was feared
that the old man would wander Oh
and be frozen to death. Several
times he was stopped from wander
ing cover the hill to his cow camp"
or would be found painfully walking
down the track with his grip, "going
to Gunnison."
This week the county court ap-
pointed physicians to examine him,
and upon their report he was COM
mitted to the custody of his nephew,
Amedee Mailloux, of Orcutt, Calf,
who had come on to see him. A broth
er, j. ]. Pollock of Smith Center, Kan
sas, has also been here, and it was
believed that the lower altitude and
milder climate of California, together
with good care would cure Mr.. Pollock.
However, he refused to go with his
nephew, and not wishing to use force
the latter relinquished control. 1t is
quite possible he will be sent to some
Colorado Sanitorium. -
Mr.. Pollock is well known stock
man of the South Park, but came to
Gunnison q few years ago and pur-
chased the Jerry O'Reagan ranch at
Parlin. This he sold year ago last
spring to Vernon Brown. He was
for years foreman of the Cleveland
Cattle Co. of the South Park and
later with the v N brand. He was
for two terms sheriff in the section
and has been a respected citizen. 1t is
believed his present trouble comes
from q slip he had on the ice at the
store platform in Parlin a few years
ago. He has been very lame ever
since and never seemed quite the same.
Mr.. Pollock is well-to-do and we hope
he will soon recover.
