LOUIS MAY JOINS THE GREAT
MAJORITY.

A youth of little more than 26
years, Louis May, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
May of Nebraska, and son-in-law of
Mr.. and Mrs. Victor Walker of Den
yer, departed this life Friday, July
9th, in answer to the roll call in the
ranks of the Great Majority. Popu
lar in the community, beloved by his
wife, parents and other relatives,
generous to fault, he gained an en-
viable reputation, and his sudden
flight from this time to eternity's Gre
ates a shock that can hardly be over
come Earlier in life he had quite
a scholastic career and as an all-round
athlete distinguished himself on sew
eral occasions for the schools he had
the honor to represent. 1t can be
truly said of him that he was happiest
after he succeeded in making others
happy Surrounded by a number of
youthful associates he made an i'm
preston as a man of stirling quail
ties, and commanded the respect and
admiration of many business men
with whom he dealt as one with bril-
liant future. In the midst of this sue
cessful career he was seized with an
illness which proved fatal in the space
of five days. Funeral services were
held from his late residence, 1929
Lafayette street, on Monday last, when
the very impressive ceremony per-
formed by Father Brown of the
Church of the Redeemer, the large
attendance of friends, and the numer-
Gus, choice and beautiful floral offer
ings bore evidence to the close of
life that ceased to adorn the home, the
business life and the community. He
is gone not to receive the reward of
treasures laid up on earth, but to re-
ceive the "Well done, thou good and
faithful servant, enter into the joy of
the Lord" Interment Fairmount Gem

Pone Barometors.

1t is eortunate thing that bone
barometers are going out of style. The
people who have always felt everything
in their bones were forever feeling
many things that nobody wanted them
to feel. 1t never rained on holiday,
the washerwOman never failed to
come, the bugs never ate the roses,
company never appeared unexpectedly,
nothing unpleasant ever happened
without the person who had bones de-
claring that she had known it all the
time, that she had felt 1t in her bones.
If the bone barometers could have been
trained to predict sunshine and good
crops they would have been very good
things to have and would never have
gone out of style, but bone barome-
ter was always falling. And Mt last
Il has fallen almost out of sight.-1n-

PAUL MAssINGALE'S CASE.

The case of Paul Massingale, youth
of seventeen, charged with assault to
do grievous bodily injury on Joseph
NJ. Nelson, member of the National
Guards, was heard before Magistrate
Bray, who remanded him for the GRIM
inal division of the District Court and
fixed his bonds at $1,500.
In spite of evidence clearly show
ing imminent danger, which forced
the youth to defend himself, the court
decided that the case should go to a
jury. Attorney Frank R. Taggart, ex-
perienced and erudite lawyer, and one
of the best criminal defense attorneys
in the West, is putting forth every
effort to insure his clients acquittal,
and as was stated before all lovers of
race pride must prepare now to help
in raising the necessary funds to car
ry the matter to successful issue.
Public opinion is in favor of the youth
as from the facts brought out the SOL
dier was grossly indiscreet. Lawyer
George Ross is also associated with
the case as junior counsel.

tatives of fifty-niners as well as in
fants of today. Numerous bands, boy

Colorado Col
ored Battalion

This organization being an estab-
lished fact, the men having gone into
camp at the Rifle Range near Golden,
having gotten their uniforms and
other equipments, the resolution is to
measure up and prove again as in
bygone times that the Negro is every
inch a soldier. The determination to
work and study, study and work, to
achieve the degree of efficiency can
not but result in praises for our boys
as their forefathers received from
General Jackson in 1924, from
General Grant in 1885, and later
years themselves in 1898 by Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, and but yesterday by
Col. Evans at Carrizal and Parral.
Therefore we join the public in wish
,ag the battalion unlimited success,
&, d each of us in our own way and
by individual effort can influence
some youth for the recruiting service
or some of the gentler sex for Red
Cross work.
Major Campbell, Capt Fallings.
Lieut. Lee, Second Lieut.. Neil are
all known to us, and this combination
with the present support of the men
comprising Companies A, B, C, will
surely give an account of this bat
TALON that will cause from the chief
executive of the state to the humblest
citizen to be proud of Colorado prod
ucts.
Long live this auxiliary of the Ma
tional Guards, and may they win laur-
els and share the rewards for their
attention to duty in this time of peril
when the honor, the life, the dignity
at stake and when their true, faithful,
loyal and self-sacrificing service can
goad this nation on to victory. Let
this be an inspiration for others and
an incentive for

IS SPECTACULAR

Triangle plays run largely to the
spectacular as may be learned Of any
regular patron of the Hawaii theater
where these features are the early
week offering. Martyrs of the

reasons for the abundance of the spec
taculaf in this particular offering Is
that it is a Griffith production and
Griffith goes In largely for spectacles
The play deals with a phase in the
history of America that Is of more
than passing interest at the present
time owing to the war cloud that is
lowering over the country. 1t touches
upens the wrestling of the state or

Mexico.
There are introduced a number of
characters whose names are reyered
to this day throughout America and
especially In the Southland, there are
others not SO. we'll thought of. In the
former class might be mentioned Gen.
Sam Houston. Silent" Smith, David
Crockett and James Bowie. Most
prominent in the latter class Is Santa
Anna, the Mexican dictator whose
overthrow resulted from the. massacre
Of the Alamo. II is a picture of great
historic interest and one that is filled
with thrills.
