SUMMER SCHOOL lAss|ES
Make GUNN|sON SAY
Over Three Hundred Already Registered and Last Year
Enrolment Likely to be Exceeded Many Interest
ing Special Features Add to Atractveness Of
Daily Program.

For three days-Friday, Saturday,
Sunday, and Monday, trains 315 and
Sl6 puffed in with what seemed to the
waiting "welcomers" at the station,
an added note of exultation in their
whistles just before pulling into Gum
nison. Loads and loads of pretty
girls were left here on those days,
some for the two weeks of institute,
some for the whole six. Some are
girls just out of high school, with the
ink scarce dry on the precious di-
ploma; some have taught one or sew
eral years and want to "freshen up;
and some are older, well-seasoned
teachers, who come to review and re-
new to be able to keep up with the
times and with the progress of edu-
cation. Oh, yes! And few are men.
Everyone welcomes the opening of
summer school, for it seems to give
. new impetus to everything; brings
new enthusiasm. The Colorado State
Normal School is offering splendid
courses of study in every line teach
er or prospective teacher could wish
to take, with an unusually fine set Of
l3 instructors.

COUNCIL RAISES SALARIES
OF SIX CITY EMPLOYEES

At a special meeting Of the city
council last night for the purpose of
considering the matter of raising the
salaries of the city employees, it was
decided that the salaries should be
raised. Elmer Ames, r. DesCombes

crease Of $40 each, while F. E. keenan,
superintendent Of the plant, o. C.
Wells, city marshall, and city clerk
Van AIKEN will receive an increase Of
SIS.
Another action which shows the right
kind of spirit on the part Of our town
officials was the decision to donate $25
toward the band concerts which are
to be given Saturday evenings dur
ing the summer school. The fact that
the city reservoir has been thoroly
cleaned, and re-filled, was also brot
to the notice of the council.

PUTTING IN THE SEWER sYs-
TEN INTERESTING MATTER

Activity ON the sewer is progressing
in q very satisfactory manner under
the efficient management Of James
Collier. the contractor, and his right
hand "man" the big tractor. In IN
interview one day this week, Mr.. Col
lier gave out some interesting facts
concerning the machine, its past &c
complishments, and the work which
has been completed SO far in Gunni-
SON Five years ago Mr.. Col
lier bought the tractor from the Buck
eye company at Finley, Ohio. At
that time it cost him $500; since
then the price has raised $2,5O0 max
ing a 1917 machine of the same style
cost $10,600. The mach be was built
originally to cut cement gravel. The
first work on which Contractor Col
lier used it was in building the Rock
River Pipe Line for the Union Pacific
railroad in Wyoming. This work
necessitated cutting through cement
gravel for eleven miles. Last winter
at Loveland the machine had to cut
through four feet of frost and the wa
ter mains were all frozen.
The machine is equipped with cater
pillar wheels which have q ten foot
by three foot bearing surface, or thir-
ty square feet. However, the ground
here is too rocky to use these wheels
SO the regular traction wheels are
used.
One hundred fifty narrow gage cars
of sewer pipe have been ordered and
up to the present time, eighty have
arrived. When completed, there will
be laid in the town about eight miles
of pipe, approximately $4,000 feet.
The miles of trench, however, total
about four and one-half, for the pipe
is laid double. At the bottom Of the
trenches, large drain pipe with open
joints is laid in order to carry away
the seepage; the sewer pipe is put on
top Of this.
At every block q manhole is con-
structed, four feet square and the full
depth Of the sewer. A Miller Ausher
is put at the end Of each line, which
flls the manhole with water and siph-
ens the water all ct once. ~
The deepest work has already been
done, although there will be some
thirteen feet depth laid yet. From
now on the work will go much faster,
Mr.Collier says. He is employing from
twenty-five to thirty men on the sew
er construction regularly. The sewer
will be completed by the end Of this
week from the main line Of the d. &
r. G. to Gothic Avenue.

Her father owned large fields of rice

but most often she sat at her queer

cash SAMPSON SHOT
BY Ben LOWE
Both Men Die in Bitter Dud on
]. Escalante Creek. Near Delta
Saturday.

Defending his own life with an aim
as true as a plumb line, Cash Samp-
son, former state brand inspector from
Delta, and one Of the best known stock
men on the western slope, met death
Saturday afternoon in Escalante cam
yon, when the bullet from his own gun
bored hole thru the heart Of Ben
Lowe, another cattleman, who /had
been his enemy for years. After Samp-
son pulled the trigger with perfect
aim, Ben Lowe, whom it is believed
opened the gun battle, fired, sending
bullet crashing thru SIMPSONS head.
The dead bodies were found about
so feet apart in pools Of blood. The
only witnesses to the shooting were
loves two boys, aged 9 and II,
it is claimed.
The two happened to meet at the
]. w. Musser ranch, rs miles from
Delta, up the Escalante canyon, Sat
urday before dinner and had dinner at
the ranch house. Nothing is known
here Of the conversation that took
place at the time. Lowe left first.
It had been known for a number Of
years that Sampson had been watch
ing Lowe and accused him of being =
cattle rustler and in his official, en-
pacity as stock brand inspector, had
been naturally active in the matter.
Sampson, who also served term rs
sheriff Of Delta county, was fearless
in his attempts to ferret out the cattle
rustling band known to exist, it is re-
ported, and no love dad been wasted
between the two at any time.
In Which County?
Lowe left the Musser ranch, which
II only . mile or two from the Mesa
county line, and a short ways from
where Delta, Mesa and Montrose coun-
ties come together. The little sons
Of Mr.. Lowe were with him when he
visited the Musser ranch. SampsoA
left shortly after Lowe did and about
one hour afterwards the little boys
came to the Musser ranch crying Bit
terly and saying that their father had
a fight with Cash Sampson and that
both men were dead. The story they
told proved to be terribly true when
the ranchers in that section followed
the boys to where the battle occurred
Shets Went Very True
They found the bodies lying on liz
ground, beside their respective guns.
One cartridge only was missing
from Sampson's gun and thres were
missing from loves. Sampson's belb
