Thursday evening J. C. Schwarz ra
eeived message saying his brother
was dying. He had just barely tim
10 board the delayed Midland train fol
IAenver. When the train arrived a;
Bslena Vista Mr.. Schwarz was reached
by another telegram telling him his
brother had passed away at 1880 Fri
day morning.
Louis Schwarz was born in Germany
81 years ago. He came to America
when quite young man, his first resi-
denGe in Colorado having been in Buena
Vista. He came to Glenwood in 1885
and engaged in the furniture and under
taking business. He has been resi-
dent of this city and Eagle from that
date to the time of his death.
few years ago he sold his mercau-
tile business to his brother and inter
ested himself in the banking business,
acquiring stock in the First National
bank Of this city. Later he, with his
associates in the Glenwood bank, or
ganized the First National bank of
Eagle and later with almost the same
associates he organized the State baua
of Red Cliff. He was for several years
the cashier Of the Eagle bank, which
necessitated his residence in that town.
Upon the removal about year ago
Of c. c. Parks to Denver, Mr.. SchWa RI
returned to Glenwood where he has
since officiated as vice president of the
First National bank of this city, also
retaining his position as president of
both the Eagle county banks which he
founded some years ago.
Louis Schwarz was man among
men, honest and conscientious to the
core, gentle of heart, genial in disposi-
tion, always considerate of the rights
and feelings of others, and hosts of
personal friends throughout Garfield
and Eagle counties will regard his de-
mise as heavy personal loss.
Mrs. Schwarz, who was with her hns-
band when the end came, will accom-.
pany the body to Glepwood this morn.
ing and the funeral will be held in this
city tomorrow afternoon, the services
at the grave being in charge Of the
Masonic fraternity, of which Mr..
schwarz had long been member.

BIG PATRIOTIC
RALLY BY Miners

otic meetings held in Glenwood Springs
thus far, took place on the lawn of tht
Hotel colorado on Wednesday evening
The meeting was under the auspices OF
the Rocky Mountain Coal Mining lnsti-
tute whose sessions were held i'll The
big hotel this week.
The goodly attendance of coal meI
was largely added to by the presence OF
our own people and visitors in town.
Senator Napier, Mayor Kirwan, G.
W. Dauow, Rev. +. D. McMartin of
the Presbyterian church and Rev. VIM.
Pepper Of the Methodist church were
invited to have a part in the program.
Our own citizen speakers confined
themselves to short, earnest speeches,
thus leaving plenty of time for the Wis
iting speaker, Parson p. A. Simpkins OF
Salt Lake City, to deliver what Sena-
tor Napier declared to be one of the
strongest patriotic addresses he had
listened 10 since the great war began.
In words which sparkled with wit.
thrilled with patriotic fervor, appealed
to common sense and logical reason and
stirred the audience deeply by their
earnestuesS this thoroughly awakened
patriotic American preacher gave all
exposition of the cause of the war, its
lasting, worldwide issue and the large
and self.sacrificing part which we must
play in it. 80.
A number Of people expressed regret
that this well worth while address
could not have been printed so that
copies could have been made for distri-
button.
At the close of his address Parson
Simpkns presented to Mayor Kirwan
q check for one hundred dollars. This
was given by the Rocky Mountain
Coal Mining institute toward Glen
woods share Of the 4l00,0OO,0O0 Red
Cross fund. .
"The Coal Dust Twins led the au-
dience in singing 'tAmerica" and The

the opening, between speeches and at
the close Of the meeting, by our own
Glenwood band was much appreciated
and added to the enjoyment Of the
occasion. EflFhrtH ipJ, !,

ry festival.
The Glenwood Garden club had
novel float which was occupied by
number of boys of the club, exhibiting
number of vegetable and flower
plants of their own growing.
"Help Protect Our Future" was the
legend on a war float which was fes-
tooned with the national colors and oc-
cuped by number of bright boys aud
girls, the motto making a significant
appeal to all who saw it.
After passing through the principal
streets the parade was halted at the
flag pole at the intersection of Ninth
street and Grand avenue at a stand
draped with the stars and stripes Here
King Barnette crowned Miss Noonan
as queen of the Strawberry Day and
then Mayor Kirwan in few we'll
| chosen words introduced Governor Ju-
Illus C. Guuser who addressed the as
semblage upon the duties of all good
citizens in the war crisis now upon US.
The governor said he wished he might
bring a more cheerful message, but that
| he could not do and be true to the.
trust reposed in, him as the chief execu.
tive Of the state.
At the close of the governor ad-
dress grand rush was made for the
strawberry feast, where berries and
cream and cake were served to the
multitude. ~

ford, Helen Bigham, Esther Weyand,

The success of the parade was due IN
large measure to the beautiful floats,
the result of the strenuous effort and
artistic skill of the ladies responsible
for their preparation. Mrs. Peabody

ton of her assistants in the prepara-
ton for the great parade. The queens
