the county Jail The total in fees paid
into the county gtreasuryby the shcr-

FIXTURES, was $10,447.7o. .,,..
| "This sum does not include the
fines and forfeitures made directly to
Justice or local courts by prisoners
taken by the sheriff's force. The to-
tal of demands made upon the county
leasury to support the sheriff's Of

G21.43.
Sheriff Applestill, if reelected, ex-
ects to follow the same careful bus
ness policy in the conduct OF his Of
ice that has enabled him to make
the above excellent showing In the
asst three years"
The statement, reflecting the innate
lodesty of Sheriff Applestill, while
Illuminating and effectually answer
ing semi-public charges of extrava-
Q ance made against the official, does
not half tell the story of the wonder
full record he has made.
To better understand it, The Press
takes this advantage of publishing a
short biography of Mr.. Applestill. He
vas born in San Jose in 1870 and Aft
er residences in Tennessee and Ari-
iona came to the Imprial Valley from
the latter state in 1909. He opened
the first motion picture theatre mi
Ell Centre, but the following year re-
tired from the theatrical business to
become undersheriff.
In 1914 he resigned the county post
to accept the managership Of the Tu-
ane theatre, which had just been
opened. With the death Of Sheriff
Meadows he was appointed sheriff on
July 20, 1915. During his years of
service as guardian of law and order
he has been compelled to face many
dangerous situations which he has sur
Mounted and resulted in landing the
7rongdoer behind the bars.
So efficient, energtic and so famil-
lar with the situation was MI. Ap-
-lestill that General Franklin Bell,
!uring the crisis with. Mexico two
ears ago, made a personal visit to
his city to compliment the sheriff on
his handling of d complicated and
touchy situation.
During his term of office Sheriff
Applestill has solved some crime mys-
cries that have attracted nationwide
attention and has run to earth some
Of the most dangerous criminal charc-
ters in the history of the Southwest.
Among these were the capture Of Ell
mer Bird for the murder of the mar
shall of Holtville; the Harden murder
case, in which the murderer was
brought back to justice from across
the border; the famous Potts acid
case, and the I.W.W, trou-
bles in Holtville in 1910. 4
Sheriff Applestill in these and
other cases has demonstrated his abil-
ity as detective, his bravery as a
man, and a daring that meant that
bis oath of office, to "run all wrong
doers to earth."' has been more than
fulfilled. ~.--.

BOULDER CANON OUTLET
TO LINCOLN HIGHWAY

w. J. Stull of Central City drove
so Boulder cn Sunday over the road
to Nederland ard thence down the
Boulder CanCn boulevard to the city
He states that Gilpin county is plan
ming extensive Improvement of the
Central Cflty-Nederland road for next
summer, with the idea of securing
advantage of the Boulder canon road
as am outlet frcm that section of
the mountains. The u. S. Forestry
Service has had surveys made for n
continuation of the road beyond Cen
trail City to connect With the Lin
coin Highway which crosses Eerthcud
pass to the western rart of the
state. If this roadl in which mean
tain reople are interesting themsel
YES, can be completed it will be the
mcst important development for
Boulder that is possible. The best
read across the range is the Ber-
tkond pass route which is now reach
ed only from Denver, through the
IL curtain park system of roads. A
new connection through Boulder cam
on would divert n very large portion
of tie travel by way of Boulder. Not
Only residents of the Northern por.
tion of Colorado and Wyoming would
find this the best and most direct
road in the western slope country,
but eastern tourists entering the
s'.ate via Juleshurg ard Sterling or
these crossing the country through
Cheyenne would find the route via
Roulder more attractive in many ways
The development of this road in
which Roulder wcmld have the ma
terial aid of the mountain counties
Is o matter Chat should receive Mt
tcntion at the earliest possible mom--
ext. 1t would make Boulder CEN
