Our popular Blacksmith, E. L. Mil
Sunday morning and when making
the Gray crossing west of town, man.
aged to kill his engine square on the
track. Mr. Miller was in the act of
getting out to crank the machine
when he was struck by light engine
driven by Henry Knoll, and the afore-
said fiivver went to pieces. Part of
the wreck and Mr.. Miller were car
red several hundred feet but the
latter was merely badly shaken up
so far as is now known. He is still
so sore and stiff, that he cannot tell
whether any serious injuries were
sustained or not. He says he had no
idea an engine was anywhere near.
Don't forget the Memorial Services
at the Community Church next Sun
day morning for the Gunnison county
boys who made the supreme sacrifice
for our country in the late war. The
address, given by Major Charles
worth of Delta, recently returned
from France, will be full of interest,
Special music of unusual worth
will be rendered, Seats will be re-
served for the relatives of those for
whom the service is given, and they
are especially invited to be present.
This service has been arranged by the
local chapter of the D. A. r.
Williams & Miller have purchased
a new one ton Ford Truck which they
are using in their transfer business.
1t is big improvement over the
horses and enables them to give bet
ter service to their many patrons.
Jerry already drives it like vet
eran. He tried to drive into Samp-
liners store without opening the
doors, but now has the hang of it so
that it stops as good as the horse
used to.
Lewis Easterly received the sad in
telligence of the death of cousin,
Col. w. F, Hughes, of Murphysboro,
ILL.,, and an old school mate and col
lege chum. Ben T. Williams, of the
same place, both deaths occurring
within week. His cousin, Mr.. Hughes,
had been county surveyor of his
county for a quarter of a century.

OVER THE TOP s3o.s5o



With the same spirit which char
acterized her in the work of winning
thc war, Gunnison coinsy has paid
her share of the cost and added 4 lew
thousand dollars for good measure.
Last Saturday night week before
the close of the Victory Liberty Loan
campaign Gunnison county had
reached her quota and had secured
a good margin of safety.
The citizens of the county have
shown that theirs is real patriotism
"A patriotism which does not need
the blare of the trumpet or the way
ing of the flag to be made evident,
Tint we, as a people, are thankful
for the ending of the war, is evil
denced by the manner in which the
Liberty Loan workers We're received
and the way in which the people sub
scribed.
Somerset, facing q serious mine fire
while the Victory Loan campaign was
being carried on, went over their
quota with subscriptions amounting
to $4,000.
The Railroad committee, with sew
enty-four subscribers, raised $4,000
and they say that the end is not yet.
The Liberty Loan special running over
The d. & r. G. system, is expected to
arrive in Gunnison Friday. With its
arrival the railroad men expect to
raise their subscriptions by several
thousand dollars.
The Women's Committee, under the
craftsmanship of Mrs. Margaret White
O'Leary, has raised between $4,000
and 100000. or approximately one
fourth of the county's quota. In the
city of Gunhison the women have
close to fifty-fifty break with the
men, having subscribed about $4,000
The insurance company of the
Rocky Mountain Fuel company has
subscribed $4,000 and the c. F. & 1,
took like amount.
Below is printed n table, showing
the amount raised in each district,
together with the quota for the
district. These are the figures turned
into the county headquarters by the
various lieutenants:

Books For Our Men Oversees

The American Library Association
is preparing to send 100000 more
books overseas within the next three
months; 100000 of these must be Late
Popular Fiction which must be Sc
cured by public donation. Colorado's
quota is 10000 books. What is your
quota?
The war is practically over, but
many of our men are still "over
there" and hundreds of thousands of
them will be for months to come.
They need books, and the recreation,
relaxation and mental solace that
books afford. Our soldiers need
books now more than they did while
the fighting was heaviest.
Let us not forget that the books
wear out very quickly under the hard
usage given them. The supply must
constantly be replenished. Colorado
has already given over 100000 books.
Gunnison, alone, last January gave
$50 books. We have apparently col
lected all the available books for
this purpose, but when we stop to
figure we realize that the books do
mated thus far, are very small por-
ton of the number that really are
available. Let US turn in the
Stacker books"
Leave the Books for our Soldiers
Overseas at O'Leary's Drug Store, or
send them to the Normal Library
during Book Week, May 1917.
