GEORGE ANDREWS HAS
BAD FALL FROM HORSE

George Andrews was the victim of
peculiar accident Wednesday fore
noon. While helping to drive bunch
of cattle out of town he was thrown
from his horse and knocked uncon-
scious. He was Immediately taken to
the home of his brother, Dick Andrews
in Gunnison, and Doctor Hanson was
called. 1t was several hours before
he gained consciousness. The doctors
made careful examination and found
no bones were broken and he was not
internally injured. 1t was certainly
a close call but we are in hopes Mr..
Andrews will be all right in a few
days, in fact he was out on the street
yesterday, tho still suffering. George
has no recollection of how the ac-
cident happened, but others say steer
ran in front of his horse at full speed.
The horse and steer were staggered by
the collision, and Mr.. Andrews was
thrown clear over their bodies, for
tunately hitting a soft place in the
road, for he lit on his head and should
er.

A murder that makes your blood

The most frightful murder which
has ever blackened the record of any
community in Colorado, so revolving
in its details as to sicken the strong
est man, was brought to light Tues
day. four miles south and west of
Olathe. 1t is charged that John o.
Bush, farmer, who is missing, killed
his son, Otis Bush, aged IL, last Sat
urday night at 1890, and with an axe,
chopt the body into bits, boiled the
pieces with several cans of lye, into
soap, burned the bones and then fled
from the community in the night. This
is the story told by the mans own
mother, Mrs. ]. W. Bush, 72, who
says she, at the point of gun, was
forced by her son to assist in dispos-
ing of the body as stated. The mother
of the boy, who had been visiting in

likely yet have the opportunity to en-
roll and pay your dollar, for the soli-
citors are canvassing the town and
county very thoroughly.
Eighteen hundred more names in

been more loyal or achieved better re-
suits for the size of the community
than Gunnison. But they need more
workers. The nation needs them.
Fifteen million is the number of

If you live out of town, send in your
