brought sorrow to the hearts of many
thousands throughout the state and
nation. He was a man of forcible
character and preeminent ability. In
all walks of life he was a thorough
Westerner, which is the best type OF
American citizenship. He was a
maker of history. AS friend he was
always steadfast and true. AS tok-

"Resolved, by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the Twenty
first General Assembly, that the re-
mains lie in state in the rotunda OF
the capital building between the hours
of 9 and IL a. m, Sunday, Jan. IA.
1917, and that this memorial be spread
upon the journals of the Senate and
House of Representatives, and that an
engrossed y be transmitted to the
family of the deceased"
The Colorado statesman., 1917-01-20
Col. William p. Cody.

During the three hours that the
body lay in state in the rotunda of
the state capitol, $4,000 persons
streamed past the casket, and when
the doors of the building-after being
kept open half an hour longer than
was Internationally had to be shut,
at least 10000 persons still thronged
the approaches of the place. More
than 5000 of these men, women and
children followed the procession to
the Elks' Club and stood in the
streets about the building for two
hours and half, awaiting the conclu-
sion of the services, so they might file
past the casket and look their last
upon the famous scout.
Although the days ceremonies had
begun at 9 o'clock in the morning at
the home of Mrs May Cody Decker,
1882 Lafayette street, where the
colonel died, it was not until after 5
o'clock in the afternoon that Col
Cody's body was placed in the vault
at Olinger mortuary, in North Denver,
where it will remain until Memorial
day, when, with splendid ceremony, it
will be laid to its final rest near the
summit of Lookout mountain.
Following the casket was Mckinley,
the white horse that for years was
the favorite mount of Col Cody led
by "Pard" milestone of the Cowboy
Hangers. The dead scouts saddle
and bride were upon the animal
just as he had left them the last time
he dismounted from its back Picked
men from three companies of the
regular army stationed at Fort Logan,
a delegation from the National Order
of Cowboy Rangers, five grizzled
members G.. A. r. and the Women's
Relief corps, G. A. r. and the Elks,
knights Templar and the long list Of
honorary pallbearers followed the
casket and the riderless horse.
To most persons present, the most
impressive part of the ceremony was
the singing, by a male quartette, Of
Col. Codys favorite song, "Tenting
Tonight on the Old Camp Ground" !"
There was scarcely dry eye in the
room as the feeling strains of this old,
old war tune drifted through the
hushed apartment.

The manner of the robbery was in teresting, but as ancient as the viola tion of the eighth commandment. According to their confession, and the evidence discovered by the au- thorities, tunnel was excavated from the grocery store through four foundation walls, to a point under the bank. This required about two weeks work.
 Then they broke through the ing. Even then the extent of the help themselves to everything of value that was outside the safe, which they could not open. Ten thousand pennies was the bulkiest part of their haul.
 That was some time Saturday night It must have been that night when they wrote the note and tackled it up to their door, and left the city. The robbery was not discovered until the bank was opened Monday morn ing Even then the extene of the robbery was not known until the vault was forced open, as the lock had been tempered with inside the vault. M
 The boys must have forgotten the tunnel would be evidence against them, for there was one and in the bank vault. the other in the Warnix store, with tools in both places.
 The rest of it was only que~. tion of finding the men.

YOUTHS ROB BANK
 LIKE DONE ON STAGE
DIG LONG TUNNEL, BUT FORGET TO FILL iT-SEND GIRL PRES ENT AND WRITE MYSTERIOUS MESSAGE.

De Queen, Nov. 21.-Three young men who endeavored to emulate the records of dime novel bandits are in jail at Ashdown, this county, on the charge of having robbed the Bank of DeQueen, August 10, of about $500. Many of the stage worn melodramatic features were present, including the mysterious note, the cipher message, the letter to the girl left behind. the long and labor ously excavated tunnel into the bank vault from which the money was extracted.
 John and Enoch Warnix. brothers, had been conducting grocery store at De Queen, and had a fairly good reputation in the community. But | they became involved financially and D. c. Golf & Co. started pro- ceedings to close their store by at tachment. The following morning the following note was found on the door:
 MT. D. c. Golf & O.. Gentlemen: We are sorry, but we are Bank Rupted. to save embarsment we are leaving everything and going to hunt work.
 WAhNlA bftOS.
 Just previous to this the bank had been robbed. and stolen prop erty was found in their store. This and other facts directed suspicion toward the Warnix brothers and Will Hester, who was reported to have left the city with them in an auto mobile. The Arkansas Bankers As sociation was notifien ann their op- erative, w. L. Wick. was put on the case. W
 Cooperating with Sheriff w. F. Thomas of Sevier county they took up the trail and three days later a telegram came from Wiihita Falls, Tex, that the fugitives were in GUS tody there. They were identified and brought back and all but $175 of the Fstolen money recovered. It appears l that they had been using some of the money that came from their store
 There was recovered from them IF bags of silver money. a small box of gold coins, three suit cases, one l of which contained a complete tel | egraphic outfit and a quantity oi burglar tools. five pistols of large caliber black masks and false whis kers. They were well prepared for career of crime. Among the loot recovered was 65 pounds of pennies After being shown a telegram from De Queen, they admitted their identi ty.
 Newness to the ways of crime was what led to their undoing. John c Warnix is 23, Enoch Warnix is 21 and Will Hester 20 At Wichita Falls one of them bought a wrist watch which he sent to his fiancee by parcel post.
 All the boys were reared in this community Hester is the son of { 1 local barber, and served a year il ! the navy as a wireless operator One of the intercepted messages was l sent by Hester to a sister of the Warnix brothers. as follows

CANNED ENOUGH PUMPKIN .
 TO MAKE 6,120,000 PIES

Seymour, Ind Nov 25.-"Peter. Peter, pumpkin eater" would have the time of his life if he were man. ager of the Rider Packing Company. This company owns three canneries in Jackson county, and during the present season has packed S5,000 cases, containing 2,040.000 cans of pumpkin. It is estimated by officials of the company that this is enough pumpkin to make 6,120000 pies six inches in diameter each. If the pies were laid in line edge to edge, they would cover a distance of 5S0 miles.
 A local mathematician has figured that the output of these three plants would be sufficient to supply every man, woman and child in Jackson county with one pie each for every day for eight months. After that time, it is figured, they wouldn't t care very much whether the supply was exhausted or not.
