RUTHVILLE TOBAC-
co SELLS AT SIS

Ruthville, Jan. 20.-The two
months-old child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Vester Williams died last week. This
unfortunate child was born with
much deformity about the mouth, and
although the parents intended to
carry it to some hospital for treat
ment, yet it was believed to be be-
yond the reach of human skill to
ever overcome the defect, but Goa
sent an angel and took it AWAY
blessing to the little fellow ard to
all concerned. Funeral services by
Elder A. B. Ross, burial at Sandy
Branch.
Tobacco buyers thick and furi-
GUS! The farmers are selling at
high prices-$2O around or $22 and
$40. One of my neighbors sold his
leaf at $25 and Tugs at $12. Some
are holding for still higher prices.
The flu is all around and about u.s.
We thought, perhaps, it would ram
out with the rainy weather or freeze
out with the cold weather, but not
much
Our community is being dotted all
over with newcomers, people from
every point of the compass moving IN,
some buying, some renting, some
share cropping. Of course there IS
reason, as many are now clamcr-
ing for homes in or near town. Peo-
pie who are wide-awake want to
get in or near city where they do
things-a city of opportunities,
where every human being, rich or
poor, high or low, bond or free, male
or female has an even break in the
race of life; where community feel
ing predominates; where the air IS
pure, the water par excellence, the
soil rich, producing a variety OF
crops that go into home consunap-
ton and the general markets where
the opportunity for a good educa-
ton is in reach of all; where the
water and light plant and street car
service is as good or better than any
city Of like population south OF the
frozen banks of the Kennebeck
where an elderly lady of moderate
means can get neat calico dress
| for three dollars or checked apron
| for rs cents, pair Of go-to-meeting
shoes for six dollars; where shoe
strings are changing hands at ten
cents the pair;where mules and
horses arc selling at 500 and $500

to 81, Opossum $3.50, musk-rats 81;
where tobacco is selling rapidly at
20 cents per pound; where a poor
man who is unable to buy apair OF
shoes has legal right to go bare
footed; where men wear the breeches
and women the dresses; where love
and true friendship bind the people
together in one united whole; where
the cooling of the dove, the sweet
song of the nightingale, the lark, the
hooking bird and the pecker-wood
fill the air with their sweet music !;
where the whole atmosphere is per-
meated with the delightful fragrance
of the hundreds Of beautiful roses
and sweet scented camilias-these
are some of the reasons. Come and

AWFUL WRECK
BARELY MISSED
ENGINE or WEST BOUND PAS
SENGER GOES INTO RIVER.
MarveleHs Eseape Of EaSinees and
Fireman Little Damage Done.
Trains Are Deaayad Ra Ittle.

A very remarkable escape was that
of passenger No. 315 Westhound from
Gunnison yesterday. Just at 1885
o'clock rs the train approached mile
post 3l6 near Curecanti in the Black
Canon, the engine struck q snow slide.
loosened itself from the train, turned
over twice and gently settled on the
river ice without crushing thru into
the five feet of water that lies along
side the track at this point. Fireman
J. S. Edwards, pulled himself out at
once, but Engineer c. A. Kroll. was
pinned under the engine and the steam
was escaping in his face. But another
fortunate thing had occurred. In turn
ing over, both pet cocks were torn of
the engine and the throttle loosened.
Almost Immediately all the steam in
the boiler escaped. and rescuefs soon
worked Mr.. Kroll hose and found him
with hardly scratch.
As the engine freed itself from the
train the automatic air brake set in
stantly and beyond giving the pas
sengers a severe jolt did no damage
whatever. 1t seems thatworkmen had
been shovelling out this slide and had
the job almost completed when the
passenger rounded the curve. KrvIl
was given the high sign to come on,
and indeed it looked like an easy job
to nose out the balance of the slide,
but just as the engine >struck il the
breast beam broke, letting the pilot
back under the engine. II was OF
course moving slowly and rolled twice
over, resting upside down.
The accident Secured within . car
length of the fatal slide Of three win
tiers ago that killed the mail clerk and
a young basket ball player from Pu-

SAD DEATH OF YOUNG
MATRON WEDNESDAY

Death again entered one of Gunni-
sons happy homes this week, and
took from its midst the wife and mo-
ther On Thursday, March 5. 1919, at
eight O'Clock a. M, Mrs. Ella Hudler,
wife of Roy Hudler. passed away.
Death was due to bronchial -pneumon-
in. She had not been i'll 4S hours,
SO that her death was a great shock
to her family and friends.
Ella Hudler was born in Ohio City,
90 years ago. She was the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. II. Mundell,
pioneers of our county. Her girfhood
'yas spent in that section. Her father
died in Gunnison several years ago.
Her mother. Mrs. Susan Trezise Mum
dell. is at present at the Hudler home
and was with her daughter during her
illness and death.
In the passing of this young wo-
man, devoted husband and three
young children are left TO mourn. The
oldest of the children is twelve, the
youngest but four. MIR. Hudler is
employed as car-repairer At the Rio
Grande shops in this city.
Funeral services were held this af-
ternoon from the house, with Under
taker Geo. Miller in charge. Interment

tery.

CONROY THOT TRIP ACROSS
RANGE WAS SUMMER PICNIC

Attempting to walk over Alpine
pass without snow shoes nearly cost
Charles Conroy his life this week.
"Wednesday he WINS brought down
from Pitkin. very badly frozen and is
now at the county hospital under the
care of DR.. Hanson.
1t seems that Monday last Conroy
got tired of nothing doing at Pitkin
and concluded he would walk over the
hill twenty miles to St. Elmo and get
job. He started early and didn't
even take lunch, thinking il q short
jaunt. After wallowing thru the snow
all day, night found him near some
old cabins on upper Quartz creek per-
haps six miles from his starting point.
Tuesday morning, he was still hope
full that st. Elmo lay just ahead. He
breasted the snow all day and made
half mile. II was waist deep, rapid
~ getting shoulder deep. About that
time, Pitkin folks who had heard of
the maE's rash experiment, got anxi-
GUS and organized searching party
on skis. They found Conroy leaning
up against tree in the midst Of a
wide expanse of snow. He was utter
ly exhausted and almost frozen. He
will postpone his trip to st. Elmo for
awhile.

Denver Times:
Sentences were imposed yesterday
upon J. r. Manning, receiver for the
Colorado Yule Marble company under
appointment Of Judge C. J. Morley,
and s. d. Crump, his attorney, for
contempt Of court in failing to rec
ognixe the jurisdiction Of Judge Gree
ley w. Whitford, in the marble liti-
cation. Mr.. Manning was sentenced
to Jail until he should file . final
report in receivership. and Mr..
Crump w1s fined 500.
Three days stay Of execution were
allowed TO give them opportunity to
file an appeal with the Supreme court.
The question TO be determined is one
of jurisdiction. Should the Supreme
court decide that the cases properly
fall within Judge Whitford's division
the sentence will stand. Should il
maintain the contention that the
cases should be tried before Judge
c. j. Morley, the orders entered BY
Judge Whitford will be cancelled.
Mr.. Manning was ordered to give
bond in the sum Of $4,000, which he
furnished within an hour after SEN
tence had been imposed.

KELLEY
Has RESIGNED
ELECTED TO IMPORTANT Posi-.
TON WITH UNIVERSITY OF
Has MsAe Great Record In Bsildipx
Csesrads State NernaL Remains
I've Moaths Yet.

Tuesday evening President James
Herbert Kelley of the Colorado State
Normal School received . telegram
from Chancellor Samuel B. McCor-
mick, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, in
forming him Of his election as Direc-
tor Of Extension of the University of
Pittsburg. This election came to Mr..
Kelley entirely unsolicited. As it Of
fers q large opportunity for service,
he will accept II and has rendered his
resignation to the Board of Normal
Trustees.
The University of Pittsburg was
chartered in 1887 and is the next to
the Oldest University west of the Al
leghanies. II has the following
schools: Education, Economies, En-
gineering. Mines, Chemistry, Graduate
School, Medicine, Law. Dentistry,
Pharmacy, Astronomy, the Mellon In
stitute of Industrial Research, and
Extension. The Faculty is over 800
all of whom assist in the extension
work.
The University of Pittsburg rcceiv-
es its support from the State of PEN
nsylvania, the County Of Allegheny,
and the City of Pittsburg.
While this announcement comes az
q great and disagreeable surprise to
the school and the citizens Of Gum
nison, friends Of DR.. Kelley realize
that it is a great opportunity, which
ne has earned by his magnificent work
IN Gunnison. When he came here just
little over five years ago, the school
was struggling with handful Of stu
dents, precarious livelihood, and was
marked for slaughter by enemies
without. He has cleverly guided It
thru its teething pains, enlarged its
scope and call SO that last year over
300 persons were enrolled, steadied its
finances until substantial additional
buildings are now provided for and .
yearly millage income assured from
the state to take care Of immediate
growth, and best Of all has placed it
on its feet as substantial and in
tcgrnl part Of the educational system
Of Colorado, with the good will Of the
entire state pledged to, its future de-
velopment. N Jgfr-3
We regret exceedingly that Mr. and
Mrs. Kelley are to leave us in May,
sut they will carry with them the
hearty best wishes Of citizens of Gum
nison, who almost without exception
have stood solidly behind the presi-
dent in every assistance asked for,
and assuredly will back up his sue
cessor just as heartily.
Who the future president will be is
Of course up to the State Board of
Normal Trustees, of which DR.. Geo.
Sullivan OF our city is a member.
There is no great rush. The work is
well organized, with prospect of the
largest summer school in history. DIR.
Kelley will remain for two months,
and even then there is no need to hu,-
ry IN securing man Of standing and
ability. who recognizes the opportun-
ity and can rise to it, in making the
Colorado State Normal School Sec
ond to none in the West.
