CAUSED, AN ANXIOUS EvENtNG

Richard McGruder caused quite a
little excitement when he, stayed away
from the county farm Saturday after
noon and lost himself. He was found
Sunday morning at 10 o'clock by Chas.
Mergleman at the Midland mine and
brought into town. He is about eigh-
ty-two years old, and because his
mind is somewhat affected, has been in
the habit of trying to wander away
from the farm ever since he was TAX
en- there some time ago. On Saturday
afternoon, Mr.. Warburton, who is in
charge of the farm, went to town with
his family to do their ususl shopping
for the coming week. While they were
gone, Mr.. McGruder, who has the free
dom Of the place, got away while no
one was looking. He set out in the
direction of Crested Butte-so he
thought-and leaving the main road
at Cooper's went on until he
reached the Midland, where he re-
manned for the night. His son lives
in Crested Butte, and the old gentle
man mistook the direction. About
two o'clock Saturday afternoon the
sheriff's office was notified and Sheriff
Pat Hanlon and Deputy Sheriff Dan
Lehan with Ralph Lockett at the
wheel, started out in the Hanlon car
to find the old man. They searched
all afternoon and late in the evening
traced him for some distance up the
road from Cooper's. At nine o'clock
it was SO dark and rainy that they
gave up the search until morning, and
in the morning Mr.. McGruder was
found by Chas. Mergleman and taken
to Crested Butte by his son.

D. R.G. GETS A BUMP

The impossible has been done! A,
: d. & r. G. train held up for one half
hour. II can never be said that the
D. & r. G. is unaccompodating again.
Bruce O'Connell, the Intertype expert
for the Intertype corporation, Brook
lyn, was on his way from the lower
country to visit the News-Champion
office at Gunnison, and on arriving
ut Montrose was given false report
as to the time that the train would
leave. He wandered up town to visit
the Montrose Enterprise Office, and
while the time away. On reaching the
depot, he found that old 316 had de-
cided to be original and had gone of
half an hour ahead Of the allotted time
as given out by the agent.
What in thunder! His grips were
on the train which was speeding at
its average unlimited rate. He might
walk down the track and catch up
but-well, he was pretty tired!
There was only one thing left for
him to do. So he went in and re-
quested the agent-emphatically-to
hold the train at Cimarron. He had
some trouble in making the agent see
his point, but finally persuaded him.
Then Mr.. O'Connell dispatched him
with all speed, and locating friend
who owns a garage, hired Ford and
started out to catch up with the be-
lated 316.
At five o'clock the trainload of
frantic passengers-and Supt. Racey
saw Ford car coming up the road
that leads to Cimarron, at a startling
rate of speed, drive up to the train,
stop; and a young man wearing a
satisfied expression and gray suit,
climbed out and aboard. As he walked
thru the coaches, he was followed by
a sky-blue string of imprecation and
denunciation from number of highly
indignant travellers. He informs us
that he will never forget the sight
that greeted him as he drove up;
heads sticking out of every window;
all anxious to see the man who flirted
with death by interfering with the
hitherto peaceful passage of a thru
passenger on the d. & r. G. For
further accommodation, the D. & r.
G. railroad also will refund his nine
dollar auto hire bill.

FIAT ROCK SCHOOL MATTER
HAS PASSED STATE SENATE.
senator Justice Explains HIS Position
in Reference to the Fight on
Trustees by Patrons.

What seems to be lively issue in
the Flat Rock school district has come
70 head when a bill was passed by
the Senate asking for the appointment
of the trustees by the county board of
education as in other special tax dis
tricts of the county.
Senator Justice has written the edl-
tor of the Hustler his position in the
matter in which he states he feels
Unsuitable in doing what he has.
editor of The Hustler:
A bill passed the senate last week
relative to the Flat Rock school, I'M
der which if ratified by the house, the
school trustees will hereafter be APP
pointed by the County Board of Edu-
cation as in other special tax districts.
This is the only change contemplated
by the passage OF the bill and was in
troduced by me on petition Of more
than sixty patrons of the district. In
fact. | was informed that practically
every patron in the district had sign
ed the petition except members of the
families of the present board. The
men who constitute this present board
at Flat Rock are all high minded, pa
triotic citizens who have the welfare
of the community at heart, but the
majority have spoken and in so far
as l may have anything to do with
the matter the majority will rule not
only because of the principal involved
but for the sake of United communi-
ty spirit to which the children Of the
district have the right for their own
welfare.
Yours very truly,
