FUNERAL OF DAN MCDONALD
HELD AT CRESTED BUTTE

George l.. Miller went TO Crested
Butte Monday 10 look after the funer-
Of Dan Mcdonald, who died at tha,
place Saturday. Mr. Mcdonald was
a- 0.d-timer in this part of the coun-
try. coming here in 1874, and was a
splendid fellow. For several years
h. had been i'll with miners consump-
ton. growing gradually worse, as is
the usual course of the dreadful dis
ease. Some time ago he insisted on
gong back 10 Gothic, his home for 40
years, but was too weas to remain.
Dan Mcdonald was not only the
picture of a man physically. but his
hart was always in the right place.
To friends and acquaintance he was
ever kind, considerate and jovial. To
al Of Us who know the Gothic and
Crystal river valleys, it will not seem
familiar ground when We miss Dan
Mcdonald from these mines and
streams.
Mr. Mcdonald was &c years old.
and yet till the fatal illness struck
him. he was black haired. tall and
s., -aight as a soldier and looked like
man Of forty. He was born in Glen
gary, Ontario, Canada, in 1852, He
.'ayes two sisters, both of whom are
IN Canada.
We understand that his mining
mnlng claims and personal property
are left by will to a friend in Crested
Butte, who is to dispose Of them for
the benefit Of his sisters. The Crown
group Of claims in Crystal Basin, is
considered quite valuable.
George L. Miller had charge of the
funeral. the services were held at the
cemetery, the Congregational minis
ter, Rev. Herbert II. Deck, preaching
"a short sermon.

NORTH FORK ROAD WORK
STOPPED BY INJUNCTION
Ranchman Didn't Want His Neigh
bors to Have Road. Has Change
OF Heart.

The construction of the new county
road from Somerset to. Crested Butte,
struck snag three weeks ago, when
j. w. Beezley, who lives on the Anth-
racite, and has been yelling for a
county road for fifteen years, swore
out an injunction to prevent the coun-
ty from building past his ranch.
Beezley lives some two miles above
the junction of the Anthracite and
Muddy and has nice ranch, but was
without road. Eleven years ago, in
1907, he got out a petition to have
the country build road, and offered
the right of way thru his place for a
dollar. The offer was accepted, and
the late Joe Heiner completed the sur
vey. which had been begun by state
engineers over Kebler pass. in the
days of the lamented '1ost road"
This survey is on record. This spring
the road was in plain sight. Last
fall the county succeeded in getting
down from Kebler pass to the Horse
ranch and up from Somerset to Bar
dine. In the hope of completing the
link during 1918, work was started
early this spring from the
Somerset end. The two miles
of road were built at great ex-
pense on the side hill of the canon as
far up as the Beezley ranch. Then
something happened. Beezley SEEM
ed bound and determined that if it
went further this road must not go up
the Anthracite but must take fear
full route thru Snowshoe canon. Com
missioner Whalen and Road Superin-
tendent Wiley had gone over the
ground, and did not at all like the
Snowshoe canon route, with consider
able timber on the side hills, but no
bottom land at all, tremendous
grade and not exposed to early spring
suns. They decided to go up the An
thracite bottom, short distance and
then reach the mesa land back of Mt.
Marcellena by good grade out of the
canon. Mr.. Beezeley absolutely re-
fused to let the road go an inch past
his place. He chained off the right
of way, and when asked why he should
object to his neighbors, further up,
getting a road, he replied that 'his
neighbors never helped him any," or
words to that effect. Later he swore
out an injunction suit against the
county, which suit is being heard be-
fore Judge Black at Montrose today.
In the meantime. the county COM
missioners have begun suit against
Beezley in the county court for $4,000
a day damages.
LATER-As we go to press, News
Champion learns that Mr.. Beezley has
withdrawn the injunction suit and
paid all costs. County road work to-
ward Crested Butte, which has been
annoyingly delayed, will be resumed
at once, under management of Ike
Taylor.

Or go to the house of Old Man Wait,

To play all day in larry Street,
Leaving your errands for other feet
To stop or shrink or niger or frown,
Is the nearest way -othis old town.

Ode To Mothers
By .A.Hacke, Camp Hancock

There's a mother somewhere, waiting
With courage bold and true,
For her boy who left the homestead
For the Red, the White, the Blue.
She it was who nursed him fondly
When a babe, the other day,
She it was, who smiling sadly
Sent him to the battle fray!
Ali the tears she tried to cover,
But her heart was torn in two;
Yet she gladly sent him onward
For the Red, the White, the Blue.
o, may God protect these mothers,
Who have given up their ALL
May they each one be remembered
At the Masters Honor Call"
Yes, may Coo protect these mothers
Keep them in His watchful care
! I'D in all His wondrous goodness.
Answer every loving prayer.
White carnations, pure and spotless.
They're the symbol Of her soul
Sh win keep it, just as snowy white
AS the ages onward roll.
And we boys away fr n mother
Send a message just to say
We hay, not forgotten either
Every day is Mothers Day.
We are thinking of you mothers;
We are praying for you, too
You have done your bit in glory
For the Red, the White, the Blue.
Sometime, when the war is over,
Wen be coming back to you
HI rrE + I'd
OF the Red, the White, the Blue,
And when we have got the Kaiser,
An again recros2ed the Rhine,
May we say that mothers courage
Helped to break the German line.

THE SPELL OF THE TENNESSEE MOUNTAINS
BY viii Byerly, Bakery Company No. $50

The moon in f1eecy cloud widowed.
And the stars tumbled out full of vim.
The short winter days are thus ended;
Up there where the catamounts call,
And beauty with beauty is blended
Oh! God how l do love it all.
With love that cannot diminish,
A passion, that on me has rein
And when the Huns licked to a finish,
III hike to the mountains again.
Those cliffs and their beauty enthralls
me,
And I'd gladly walk all the way.
To the land that whispers. and calls me-
Would God, could heed it today.
And go to the wilds, far up yonder
Where the wild cat cries on the hill.
There's no place of which ] am fonder,
Than this one so peace and still.
I've beheld their autumnal splendor
The woods dressed in gorgeous array
What longing these memories engender,
Desires which / cart put away;
Desire to go back to the mountain
Far back in the big, silent wood.
Cuisines up in me like afountan--
Id put it aside-if l could.
l babe them adieu as a brother
And fain would go back to the place
AS hayward son to his. mother;
For her loving kiss and embrace.
For this spell | can't tear asunder.
And on me the stiffness has lease
The solitude fills me with wonder
and gives to my heart lasting peace.

NIGHT In CAMP HANCOCK
BY Gordon H. BuCkner
4th Prov. Company,
Second Prov. Regt.

The flaming sun in robes of gold.
And the silv'ry moon with her train of
stars
Climbed over the dark hill crest.
She drifted on DER the pine clad hills
Which. bathed in a softened glow,
Turned the dark clouds from their leaden
hue
To the white of drifted snow.
AS her face beamed down on the tent
clad plains
Where the hosts in sleep did lie
She shone in all her splendor forth
From her cloud throne in the Sky.
The dark pines lonely sentinels.
On the circling hitops round.
Stand back gainst the pearly cloud
WreathS
High floating DER mooniit ground
Call out to its mate in the vale
And the notes ring down through the
wood aisles
AS though from a golden bell
The clouds move slow DER the hilltops,
Paled by the moons soft CLEAN
Glide on in majestic grandeur
Circling the throne of their queen.
These scenes so fresh in our memories
Bring back the days that have gone
Recalling the nights at old Hancock.
And the splendor of their charm

dedicated TO My Esteemed Friend Miss
Pearle a., Livingston, Aia.)
They've mystic spell which will find
you;
1t hangs DER mountain and dell;
Whose aspect at first will remind YOU
OF Dante's description of hell.
Among all the lonely, wild places,
Ii S the Stillest, widest I know,
From the cliffs, with their cold grey
faces;
To the narrow valleys below.
Some day God was sorry he made them,
That he gave to each cliff a frown:
Wlch causes mankind to eyade them,
And decline to build there a town
Some say they are miles beyond nowhere,
That God just made them for fun
Perhaps-but there are men who'd 60
there,
To live all there liyes-and Pm one.
The infinite space, the moons beamine,
The stars, the blue skies, and the peace.
Were mine, and I thought [ was dreaming.
a sweet dream that too soon would
cease.
Twas then that the spell first found me.
And gripped me like some kind of sin,
with letters of mystery it bound me
And knew I'd been taken in.
AS J. on an icy peak dreaming,
stood and grew numb with the cold.
TIL the suns last rays set it cleaning
An fiery red. crimson and gold,
Then the deep hush of night soon followed
And filled every nook to the brim
