RoyDenney

We do uot think that the facts
would be overdrawn to say that
Roy Denney was one Of the most
remarkable business men this
town has produced, or that it has
had. 4
He hal II business genius that
would he hard to duplicate. and
his death leaves vacant a place
that will be hard to fill. The
town owes a lasting debt to bis
sagacious ENTERPRISE, and in his
death it loses one of its most H.
lustrious business citizens.
Five years ago Roy had a jt.
ney. anda determined, enterpris.
ing capacity. For about two or
three years he had been with Bob
Cotton, mostly as driver; but at
that he didn'tget much ahead
Then about Eve years ag, he
started out on his own hook with
his little old Ford.
But that Wa too slow for Roy
D.nney. So atter about year
F., of this be rrofSted a garag that
for Springfield 1t that tim was
monster, itk hsing 50x4O feet.
with 0puMund 10 extenfEs mesnA
permitted and business required.
That might have been thought
glory enough. But this garage
stood in the middle of the block,
so for about two years Roy was
laying his plans to get hold of a
'50-foot corner FROM in the center
of town, and finally succeeded in
getting the front he was after.
, On these two lots had been
started a stone building 50x70
feet; but this didn't meet up with
Roy's ideal of garage, so he
tore out the erd and carried the
building'to the alley, making it
5Ox14O feet.
This building was finished com,
pIete-plastered overhead and
walls, cement floor, Offices, etc,
making it one of the most beau
tiful garages in the west.
/ BY this garage was carried one
of the largest stocks a'so to be
found in the west. The building
Itself cost $40, 900, and there was
probably $40, 900 or SIS, 90 worth
of in the stock building.
OF course Roy bad help in
building and equippirg this gar,
age, but that was a tribute to his
honesty, uprightness, and rare
business ability, the parties back
ling him having faith in his max.
ing good.
! And he was making good. He
had wonderful business patron.
age, and hence had from four tC
seven helpers constantly employ
ed in the repair shop and as driv'
ers.
Then came the sudden and sad
ending. On Friday the 18th
inst. he went went to bed with
the flues. and at noon of the sey.
enth day of his sickness-Thurs-
lday, Nov. 81, he crossed over
the dark river into the Great Be
yond, he being 80 years, one
month and u days OF age.
He was born in Iowa, the first
day of October, 1886, and the
aext year his parents moved on
the ranch northwest of town
where Roy grew up to manhood.
/ The rest of his life is Springfield
history.
On The 22nd inst. he was laid to
rest in the Springfield CT metery,
Rev. Chas. Dean officiating with
a short ceremony.
| He leaves to mourn his loss a
father and mother. four brothers
and four sisters, and other rela-
tives ard host of friends and

THE body of the write. up runs
as follows.
w. Mingus, a street car con-
ductor. ordered 10 appear in po-
lice court this morning to answer
a charge of having the windows
Of his street car closed contrary
10 ruling Of the health depart
ment. pleaded guilty to the
cha ge, but Judge Crossman con-
tibued the case until Saturday,
because he was unable to deter
mine whether or not the rule
made by the hea tn department
is good one.
Crossman asked that the street
car men and the city health de-
yartment bring evidence to
court Saturday morning so that
he can decide from the evidence
whether or ret the ruling made
by the health department is nec-
ccssary to the health of the peo.
pie of Pueblo.
In the meantime he refused
to advise Mingus whether or not
he shall keep his windows closed
or observe the ruling and keep
them open.
Mingus was ordered into court
by E. E. Colby, who was detailed
by the health department to make
an Investigation of conditions. He
encountered several street cars.
he stated, where the windows
were closed. Iu all cases except
that of Mingus, the men opened
the windows and promised to
k ep them open. he says. Min.

pleaded and admitted that the
windows we're closed. He claimed
that at the hour of night at
whice he had the windows open,
there is lIttle travle and no need
for having them open.
furthermore he claimed that at
the steel works, where the men
get on his Car, they "cuss the
street car men, the police depart
ment and the health department
for making the rules"
Judge Crossman claimed that
before he could make a decision
and fine or discharge the man, it
would be necces sary to hear
more evidence, so that he could
decide whether or not the rule
was necessary. He then con-
tinued the case until 9 o'clo TX
Saturday morning when he will
hear the evidence.
The city health department
will rely upon the statement OF
physicians relative to the need
for fresh air in the cars to prov.
their point.

Our readers will remember
that we had Bob Crossman on
the carpet at an early stage OF
these write.ups; bat as we have
a good many new subscribers
since then. we will state briefly
that Bob was the editor and pub
Usher of the Villas Democrat,
was one of the promoters of that
town, was somewhat Of a lawyer,
and was one Of tho last to give It
up when the county seat went
to Springfield and the country
| wen. to pieces.
| Bob always had . pepchant
for wanting to run things, and
because of his often going some
what out Of his way to humor
this particular inclination very
often found himself in trouble
and often in pretty deep water.
We are bringing Bob up here
for his second, hearing because
he is just now making some OF
this kind of history in Pueblo.
/, Colo, where he some time ago
was honored with the police
judgship.
Because Of Bob's prominence
in those old days anG his close
relation tn one of the country's
good old towns. we are this week
giving as a interesting feature
of these oltrtime Yrise-ups the
newspaperxccounts Of this lat
est Of Bob' troubles.
The wrll aps are taken from
the Pueblo tar Journal, and the
headlines q. the first notice runs
as follows;

"You reporters have got to
stop soaring the people," he
stated in court, ''and / want i,

The charge came during the
trial of A. E. Leach, 1874 East
Fourth street. who was discnarg
ed by the Judge on q charge OF
overlooking a street car. contrary
to the rulings of the health de.
partment.
Conductor Leach was arrested
last night by James D. Byrne,
city health inspector, who board
ed the car at Mesa Junction. Ac-
cording to Byrne's statement in
court this morning. there were
eleven people standing up in the
car and every seat Was taken.
Leach claimed and he had wit
nesses to prove it, that his regis
ter showed but 81 fares and
| some of his people had unloaded
at the Union depot and at the
Mesa Juction.
1t was during the trial of the
! action that Judge Crossman took
his spite out on the reporters,
! who he said were unnecessarily
frightening the people by writ
lug stories about the Spanish
influenza.
Judge Crossman has shown
a disregard for the health rules
of the city ever since he has been
on the BENCH stated Inspector
Byrne this morning. "He has
now made my job easy, as I do

French soil can be held in proportion
to the speed of the American ship
yards.
Ships are invaluable today. To pro-
tect the available tonnage, England
did not hesitate to sacrifice five cruis-
ers. old but still seryiceable. and a
number OF other ships on the chance
OF being able to close the rat holes OF
Z~eebrugge and Ostend. And the kai
ser. realizing the necessity of keeping
the submarine pirates at work con-
tinuously, seemed 10 be ready even for
an invasion OF Holland TO assure him
self a convenient base of operations
against the bridge of ships"
The urgent necessity of building the
largest possible number of ships at
the highest possible speed Is pointed
out by Mr.. Frederick Lewis Allen
connected with the shipping board.
The need for ever more ships cannot
be emphasized too often. Upon an
adequate supply Of ships depends the
outcome OF the war, the fate OF de-
mocracy.
Yet the Seattle Central Labor Coun-
ell, knowing this vital need of speed
ing up ship production, calmly pro-
ceeded TO suggest to It's members a
general strike, a tie-up of all industry.
including the %shipyards, the machine
shops, the engine works and found

fined to Seattle. IL was to take place
all over the United States wherever
the trade unions could enforce il, and.
to quote James A. Duncan. secretary
of the Seattle Labor Council, 1t was

tlmlzed Mooney case defendants are
Internationally freed"
What does the country think OF men
who would delay the building Of ships
