Empire Contest Blows Up and Takes All Parties on
E Their Feet. Won No. Released and Costs Assess
ed on Won No. !, Presumably for Malicious Prose
cution. Still No Count and Probably No Car

On Sunday Under Sheriff Lehan
returned from Pueblo with Kaiser
No. 2 and the Prize Mitchell car which
has had SO meteoric a record as q
subscription stimulant for the Gunni-
son Vampire"
Pending the selection of an attorney
Mr.. Keilglass was given room and
board with Pat Hanlon and on We'd
nesday at two o'clock on motion of J..
Arthur Phelps, Pueblo attorney who
with Mr.. Nash, of sapp & Nash, hand
led the case for the defendant, a
change Of venue was granted by JUS
tice Gordon to the court of Justice
Sills, who is also an experienced news
paper man and is supposed to know all
the ms and outs Of the contest busi-
ness, having conducted a piano con-
test of his own some years ago.
Also continuance was secured
till nine a. m. Thursday morning.
The preliminary examination Of Won
No. 2 for larceny was commenced by
Judge McDougal and soon developed
into a case where all the witnesses
knew very little and that very far
from well.
The introduction of the contract be-
tween Won Kleinglass and the Empire
management was Illuminating of what
has taken place. It provides among
other things that the contest manager
was to receive . compensation of
twenty dollars per week as an ad-
vance on commissions Of SO per cent
in case he secured 1,5O0 subscribers
to the Vampire. Failing in this he
gets nothing and this clearly accounts
to our mind for the flying trip around
the circle in which a large number of
subscribers were taken for one month
at price Of Csc, that sum being easy
to extract from most everyone who
wished to get loose from the bewitch-
ing solicitors. But the cream
on the milk was the generally
believed assertion that Won No. 2 evil
IDENTIFY regarded the turning in of the
quarters as an unnecessary and fool
ish act-which indeed it was. that
amount being inadequate to pay for
enrolling the names on the list-and
now Won No. firmly refuses to re-
cord any names for which the rhino
is not produced. Result a bevy of
damsels who few weeks ago were
all smiles and dimples, now rapidly
getting into frame Of mind that
makes the Vampire editor nervous.
However, it makes him more nervous
to consider what would happen II he
took in the subscribers without the
money and then had to cut fifty-fifty
with the contest manager who it has
been alleged by the former, swiped
his capital prize, annexed his quar-
ters and played hades generally. The
latter evidently had come to the
conclusion before the contest went very
far, that it was . hopeless task to se-
cure 1900 legitimate subscribers for .

NORMAL NOTES

C. @. McNatt, engineer for the C.
F. & l. from Grand Junction spent
.bIOnday at the Normal school. He de-
)1ivered very interesting talk in chap
el on modern astronomy. Beside his
regular work Mr.. NcNatt takes up
rs his vacation. this fascinating sub
ject. - IS b = & q
The speaker in chapel Thursday
morning was Professor Ben Kon. He
delivered an address on Assyria and
Turkey, bringing in their relations in
the present war and also giving splen-
did descriptions of both countries. 1t
is seldom we have the opportunity
of hearing an address from one who
. has been in these places. The address
was greatly enjoyed and we hope we
may hear Mr.. Ben Kori tell us of
some of the other places he has been
at some future time.
The Normal gym was the scene of
another delightful party Friday night
when the Philomathian literary socie-
ty entertained the La France society.
The room was beautifully decorated
in yellow and white, the colors of the
Philomathians, and French flags, the
symbol of the La France society.
Games were played until about ten
o'clock then dancing started. At
eleven o'clock delicious ice cream,
bearing tiny French flag in the top,
was served with cake. At late hour
each member of the La France so
6ety departed with her fair Philoma-
THAN escort, deeming their sister So

writing accommodations are yet poor
The Y. NJ. C. A. has not yet been fin
ished and our only writing desk is

NJ. C. A. will be finished now soon.
We arrived at Camp Funston the
5th day at 8:20 a. m. Boys all feel
ing fine and seemingly good spirits.
We had supper at Salida. Breakfast
at Denver. The Red Cross was in
charge at Denver and they took
upon themselves to see that no one
went away hungry. was in the
hungry bunch and stayed for the full
round.
We left Denver in the afternoon the
and the next was lunch at Lima juno
tion. The boys did not like that SO
well as it was only box lunch. The
next lunch was at Ellis, Kansas. That
also was box lunch. w. NJ. Brown,
fireman from Cimarron in the Mont
rose bunch, was toast master. D. & r.
G. Brown they call him. William was
the first man off the train at every
stop. Some places the townspeople
had learned that we were recruits only
and were out in large crowds to greet
us. d. & r. G. Brown made the mar
ried women an address from the coach
steps. He told them that If they
wanted to send any of their men to
war he would stay and take their place
and do the best he could. Some of the
married women smiled with joy while
others looked somewhat sour. Joseph
Partch told the girls he was very well
satisfied (except1 being lonesome. Said
he was used to being hugged and kiss
ed at home. We had Pullman
accommodations from Salida to Camp
Funston. We were enlarged at Sa-
Ida and Denver arriving at Camp
Funston about five hundred strong.
The boys were off at all stops that
they could get off at. Everyone
stretched his legs to full capacity.
We were met at Camp Funston with
a cold reception and had TO line up in
the cold, and marched half naked to
the bath house for a shower bath. At
noon we had breakfast and dinner to-
gether.
The afternoon was put in filling
straw ticks and making ready for a
place to rest. The first night was not
so pleasant as we only had one heavy
comfort each. We doubled up. Walter
Truesdale and l were together. The
next was the innoculation. My arm has
just begun to get sore. Ira d. San
key is drill sergeant, Forest Ray La
Plant is corporal. Both the boys
are giving best of satisfaction.
! wish some one would get q bit
Of r. r. news in the paper. The boys
all send best regards to friends.
Very respectfully,
J. F. DARTER.

be facilitated.
The camp when completed will house
a larger number of troops than the en-
tire population of Petersburg. Accord
ing to the last census of the Cockade
City. there were 24t27 people within
the confines of the CITY and this has
likely been increased since 1910 to
10000. 1t is estimated that from 3d.
600 to 10000 troops will he encamped
on the outskirts of the city
On account of the immensely OF the
operations for the training Of the
troops, and the facilities necessary for
the administration of the camp. It
would be impossible to handle them
through Petersburg For This reason
Major General Franklin ]. Bell, of the
department Of the East. decided that
the camp have separate identity
and a postoffice. express office and
freight terminal will be establish ed
and all the necessary public utilities
installed
Already the work of getting the
camp into shape for the reception of
the men is rapidly going on. Water
has been run to the grounds. lights are
being installed. and sewerage facilities
are under way. Forces are working
night and day, as 1t Is imperative for
the camp to be ready for the soldiers on
