An Inmate of the Penitentiary.

knew nothing of the deed until long
after it had occurred. He was con-
victed with John Fl. Wilson, who has
little to say about the robbery except
that he also is innocent.
The robbery of the Citizens Nation
al bank at Glenwood Springs was one
Of the boldest in the criminal annals
Of Colorado. Two men hired horses
at livery stable in the town and rode
to the bank, tying the horses in an
alley. They entered, covered Vice Pres
ident Drach and Bookkeeper T. FL. Da-
Wis with revolvers and proceeded to
gather in $4,000 in cash.
At the trial Edwards was identified
as one Of the robbers. He made a
personal plea in his own behalf, de-
claring that the men who identified
him as bank robber might be honest
in their statement, but, he said, II am
not the man they take me for" 1t
took him eight years to prove this
assertion. Edwards and Wilson were
sentenced to from 20 to 30 years for
the crime.

wards, for nearly eight years an H.
mate of the state penitenuary here,
after conviction as a bank robber, Is
about to establish his innocence. With
the aid of G. w. Shores, formerly head
of the Denver and Rio Grande secret
service, and now a rancher at Grand
Junction, Edwards has been able to
prove that he was in Salt Lake City,
Utah, on the day of the robbery, pawn
ing some personal jewelry. The police
of Salt Lake City and the pawnbroker,
as we'll as his pawn ticket, clinch this
evidence.
Edwards, according to his own adj

robbery occurred. taking treatment for
rheumatism, and there met the men
who committed the crime. He asserts

WHAT SCOTLAND IS DOING
This Little Country Has Already
Cheerfully Done Very Much Moro
Than Her Share.

We are pretty well acquainted In this
country with the part Canada Is TAX
ing in the war. We have been advised
from time to time Of the individual
sacrifices being made by the people
to the north Of US. We know only In
a general way what other people are
doing. So it comes as refreshing news
to hear from the lips Of such a man
as Harry Lauder the heroic work and
sacrifices Of the Scots.
More than 100000 Scotchmen are
under arms. or have given up their
lives In the struggle. And Scotland
is a small country. In the cities and
towns there are no more eligible men
no more men cit to bear arms. They
have all departed. Scotland is land
Of old men and women and little chill
dren-and crippled soldiers. 1t Is not
the Scotland Of three years ago, with
husky set Of strapping young fellows
filling the fields and working in the
mines and mills.
Not only that, but the people do not
complain. There are no riots because
Of the conditions-no murmurings
against their fate. The war is on; the
Scots will fight 1t out. That is the
spirit one finds In Scotland, among
those old men and women and among
the little children. 1t is the spirit one
finds out In the trenches, where the
Scottish soldiers stand on guard and
meet the enemy face to face.
The history Of Scotland is too well
understood to call attention to 1t here.
The record Of the Scots, made In the
long ago, still Is fresh In the mind Of
every one who knows history. So 1t
isn't necessary to state that the Scots
are born fighters, that they are not
going to give up. They have done In
this war exactly what those familiar
with Scottish history expected them to
do. And they will not fail at any time
IN the future.-Columbus Dispatch.

SIMPLY PLACE OF DES0LATI0N
Little for the Traveller to Enthuse over
When He Visits the Old City
of Jerusalem.

The allies advance in Palestine has
taken them through Jerusalem and the
little village Of Jericho. The plnin or
Jericho, the scene Of so many historic
incidents in the past. is once again
caught in the old glare of the spot
light. Such light reveals too plainly
the hopeless poverty Of the people. the
cracks and holes in the rough walls of
the novels, the fields and gardens, fall
len by neglect into riot Of weeds and
wild flowers growing rank.
1t is better to look at Jericho at sun
set, and not too critically even then. In
a soft light the wretchedness Of the
matched huts is less insistent, the jas
mine and oleanders seem sweeter and
the ragged BedOuins acquire pictur-
sequences In spite of dirt and squalor.
It is only a short walk through the
plain from this Jericho of the present
TO the two other sites which have
borne the same name. One, the Jericho
Of Old Testament. destroyed by Joshua,
Is only memory, Its reality proved by
bits of unearthed walls and pottery.
The third Jericho Of the triangle is the
Jericho of the New Testament, the city
Of palm trees which Antony bestowed
upon Cleopatra and which she later
sold to Herod the Great. Made gor-
geous in the reign of Herod as city
of palaces, 1t is now only a wreck Of
stones and battered towers. The palms
for which it was famous are gone, with
the palaces and circus which they
shaded. The plain of Jericho is a will
derness, bound to civilization by its
many highways and its tiny village. A
few miles to the southwest lies Jeru-
salem, connected with the village by
the robber-infested road along which
the good Samaritan Travelled. All about
the plain rise the cliffs, mounted by
steep and winding trails. 1t is not an
attractive region, but even IL It were
more wild and desolate than 1t is 1t
would still be much visited, for at
every step are landmarks Of history.

Bread Without Wheat Flour.

The New York Herald announces
that a New York chef has a wonder
recipe for making bread without
wheat -four" Jean Ricroch, chef of
the Biltmore hotel, IS responsible for
the recipe. and he now gives It to the
country, without money and without
price. Mr.. Ricroch told Herald re-
porter the Ingredients Of the new bread
are as follows: twenty-five pounds
Of rye -four, rs pounds Of graham -four,
rs pounds Of corn -four, 25 pounds of
crushed oatmeal, I pound Of lard and
2 pounds of yeast" This, It Is ex-
planned. is enough to make $50 pounds
Of bread. The yeast and rye -four
should be mixed first and the others
added alternately. Smaller quantities
OF bread can be made by using smaller
proportions. The receipt doubtless Is
q good one, but 1t does not provide for
bread without wheat -four. Graham
-four is unbolted wheat -four. So,
while the bread is a wheat saver, Il
does not do away entirely with the use
Of that grain.
