The Elk Mountain pilot., 1918-06-20

An interesting meeting was held
Monday night at the Princess build
ing in honor of the War Savings
Stamp campaign soon to be launched
Frank Songer was chairman of the
meeting and the Jenkins Orchestra
gave several splendid selections.
President Kelley of the Gunnison
/ Normal was the first speaker, fol-
lowed by Judge Stone and Mr.. AL
Neale of Montrose. The latter in his
address told of the beautiful loving
cup to be given the county that
makes the best showing, by Charles
F. Moynihan of Montrose. Then fol-
lowed the talk by Major Sandford of
his experiences and the things that
he had seen during three years of ac-
tive service in the British army, No
one hearing those splendid addresses
could be otherwise inclined than to
help in every possible degree, in
bringing the war to successful is
sue by buying every stamp in their
power to buy.
Of the tragedy that occurred here
Thursday, little can be said of the
principals, Fred Wieland and John
Showers. The former, we understand,
was German, so years of ags. his
only daughter died in Denver three
I wears ago. At one time Wieland was
i baker for the Colorado Supply store.
He was buried from the Catholic
church Sunday, June 23d John
Showers, who caused the death of his
two victims and later. conmitted sui
eide, was an Austrian by birth and
had lived here twelve years. He was
a man about 40 years of age and
since the death of his wife some four
. years ago, has lived alone, apparently
having no kin in this country. He
was buried Saturday by the county.
In Sundays casualty list the name
of James f, Daley of Old Forge. Pa,
was among those who had died of
7 disease. 1t is undoubtedly the name
of the nephew of Mrs. Andy Horan,
the very popular and we'll loved boy
who spent the winter of '16 and until
March of last year visiting with the
Horans here. In July the young man
enlisted in the Aviation corps, of the
6SS Service Squadron Of New York,
and this spring went across the wa
ter into active service. Details of
the death have not been received.
Joe Yocklavich received notice of
his call through the selective draft
and left Tuesday for Vancouver,
where he will be connected with the
giant move now beginning, to get out
lumber required by the government.
Young Yocklavich is one of Crested
Butte's popular young men and all
his friends wish him well, in this
new work.
A popular young ball player who
will be remembered as pitcher on
the Crested Butte team few years
ago-Walter Fenwick, has been cho-
sen as surveyor in the selective draft
and will leave Denver soon for Van
scouver to assist in the home service,
in the great demand the government
recently made for lumber
After lying at the point of death
for days, we are glad to announce
that Clement Voss has improved and
has apparently new lease of life,
as his physicians feel he is entirely
out of danger. Mr.. Voss had been
stricken with pneumonia on the 5th,
and was for days in a very serious
condition.
John Kane and Miss Racheal Kane
of Gunnison, were up Monday, to at
tend the funeral of Henry O'Neill.
They came up as guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. Keelor, who made the rather
difficult trip over the railroad bridge
and bad roads by auto.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Donaldson
came in this week from Pueblo. Mr..
Donaldson will relieve Manager Hud-
son at the Colorado Supply store for
several months. The Donaldsons will
have a suite of rooms in the Dram
home.
John Berryhill has purchased teams
and outfit and left Tuesday for AL
mont to begin team work for the
Doctor mine. Mrs. Berryhill and son
left Wednesday and will live during
the summer at Bogan's camp.
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Fields of Rush
vile, Illinois, came in on Mondays
train. Mr.. Fields is the promoter of
big saw mill concern that will be-
gin operations at once in the forest
