Mrs. Ed Gale of Grand Rive, Badly
Burned.

Yesterday morning, while lighting
the oil stove to get breakfast, Mrs.
Ed Gale was terribly burned Just
how her clothing caught fire is not
known as the stove was closed and
the one burner that she had lighted
was burning in fine shape. 1t is the
supposition that she threw the match
down before it was extinguished and
it, in some way caught in her cloth
ing. Ed was just getting dressed
when he heard her calling, and rush
ing to the kitchen found her on the
floor with her clothing on fire. He
caught the garments and tore them
from her body as quickly as he
could, but not before Mrs. Gale was
badly burned about the upper part
OF her body. Assistance was called
and all that medical skill and care
could do was done for her relief.
II is little early yet to say how
the burns will terminate but all her
friends hope for the best. Ed was
badly burned about the hands, and
IL suffering severely. This is certain.
" hard blow for Mrs. Gale as she
has been in poor health for num-
her of years which will make the
accident all the more severe. All
1hat skill can do is being done to
relieve her suffering-Grand River

MIDLAND CASE
DELAYED AGAIN

Denver, Aug. 5.-Unexpected delay
in the junking of the Colorado Midland
railroad confronts the owners through
stay Of execution authorized yester-
day by the supreme court, pending the
presentation of the issues involved.
Service was discontinued yesterday
morning in accordance with an order
that had been granted A. E. Carlton,
receiver, by Judge Sheafor of Colorado
Springs. The dismantling of the right
of way and the sale of equipment were
to follow.
The supreme court granted the relief
sought by shippers, represented by l..
b. Melville, and also by the attorney
generals office, on application for re.
view predicated on the contention that
the lower court had denied an effort
at Intervention in the junking case.
Just how far the order stopping all
proceedings in the lower court is in
tended to reach is not clear to lawyers
who are directly interested, although
there is no division of opinion that the
property of the Midland must remain
intact for the present.
The question of disseminating service
came up and Attorney Melville said the
only train that had not been taken into
the yards was on its way from Grand
Junction to Colorado Springs. Charles
Roach, who was denied intervention in
the Colorado Springs hearings, repre-
sented tire attorney general IS office.
Justices Garrigues, Bailey, Allen and
Scott participated in the deliberations.
The lower court denied the Colorado
utilities commission, through Leroy j.
Williams, the right to assume jurisdic
until Aug. 10 in which to hear more in
detail the evidence of the protesting
shippers.
The proposed junking of the road
was undertaken by owners after the
government, which took over the rail-
road, relinquished the property. The
railroad administration offered to pay
100000 yearly compensation for the
use Of the road, and the owners, it Is
understood, demanded 100000.
The utilities commission assumed jur-
isdiction after the Colorado Springs
court had authorized the junking Of
the road, on the theory that the rail
road could not suspend operations with
out the commissions . consent. Follow.
ing hearing, the commission took tho
case under adviDsment.

had been begun by A. E. Carlton and
his associates.
No attempt will be made, however, to
run any trains until the order is def
nitely interpreted. The last train came
into Colorado Springs from the western
slope last night and, according to Mr..
Ca7s.na, so far as he is concerned, the
road is through.
In the meantime all the rolling stock
and cars have been brought into the
shops, where they are being overhauled
and repaired pending their sale.
Out of the train crews numbering six
ty men, all have been released but six
operate trains between Colorado Springs
and Cripple Creek until the Short line
has been put in shape for operation.
$50 far as l am concerned we are
through said Mr.. Carlton tonight.
"The new order does not affect the
operation of the road and must merely
mean few days delay III the ultimate
iunking. The delay only means that
much loss in depreciation.
Before the order was received, Mr..
Carlton had sent men both to Denver
and Pueblo to get labOrers to assist IN
the work of tearing up the track.
rromises were made to these men of
work during the entire winter and pos
sibly of next summer with wages of
$3.50 per day. These men were re.
called upon receipt of the order. No
organization in Colorado Springs has
signified its intention of appearing be
fore the supreme court to combat the
iunking rule. So far as Colorado
Springs is concerned the matter is a
closed issue.
