The Glenwood post., 1917-02-03

Last Sunday at the Glenwood sani-
tarium John Antonio Of New, Castle
died from pneumonia after an illness
of but few days. Mr.. Antonio was
for many years resident of New Cas-
tie and was coal miner. The body
was prepared by Mortician Schwarz
and shipped to New Castle Monday for
burial.
Mayor Thorson returned Wednesday
morning from Denver where had spent
the past ten days taking in the stock
show and looking in on the state legis-
lature. We suspect that Ole had the
pleasure of telling some of the Denver
politicians few things and that he
now feels better after getting it all out
of his system.
X. A. Baltic of the Coffin Packing
AL !io' sion company is now ha llling
an account for the Grand Junction
Fruit Growers association, making Glen
wood a central shipping point for their
products, wIcl. CONSIST mostly of Or
anges and lemons. In connection with
the above he Ms installed in the build
ing an elevator for the purpose of
handling such fruits.
Wald Bros, E. T. Martin, F. E.
Sweet, H. G. Jessup, Dode Hudson, F..
F. Park and many other stockmen from
this county took advantage of the stock
show at Denver last week to the ex-
tent of purchasing some thoroughbred
bulls for their Garfield county herds.
We are fast building up our herds
which are in decided contrast to those
found in this country few years ago

There have already been several Wis

property or prospect, south of town.
Some shake their heads and look doubt
full while others declare it looks like
the beginning of a real mine. We
shall all hope that the boys may strike
it rich in the not very distrant future
and that this may be the forerunner of
many other prospects, out of some of
which real mines may be developed.

Notwithstanding we have had some
real cold weather this winter, it seems
that Grand Junction can 90 us a few
better, according to the reading of the
government thermometer in that section
last week. The Junction papers report
16, IS and 20 degrees below zero all
over the valley while at one point the
mercury sank to 25 degrees below. THAI

McCoy's 55 Buick car from Grand
Junction to Glenwood, after the boat
had been painted and vanished AMI
put in first class trim along the line
OF appearances for another year. They
report the road in excellent condition
between DeBeque and Grand Valley,
but on the balance of it motoring is
far from pleasant dream. Harry says
it's good thing they came through
last Monday, otherwise he thinks
there would have been trouble. The
soft snow of the next day or two GER
tamly put motoring on the blink.

The Batting Top.

Despite Franz Bakers two succcssive
homeruns against the Giants in 1911.
the most effective batting that We recall
witnessing belonged TO Corporal Hank
Gowdy. then the premier catcher OF the
Boston Braves.
This was the sorIcs where tho Braves
overwhelmed the Mackmnn In 1914. In
this four game series Gowdy hit for .5tb
a record for complete play. In two OF the
games he was purposely passed 80 often
that he had but little chance to show
Hut In two Of the others he hit for n
hOmerun, two triples, three doubles and
IA sinsle-six hits good for seventeen
bases That mark Ia another that will
stand for II number OF drifting years
Lank Hank was no mighty slusNer
through the Year but upon that ono
weeks occasion he arose TO dizzy heights
that no one has yet seen.
