Penrose Press Seized
Under Execution

Under an execution swern out by
the Beaver Park Land & Water Com
pany, a creditor of Alex Cowie. who
disappeared about 10 days ago. the
office, machinery, stock. fixtures and
subscription list of the Penrose Press
was taken over by Sheriff Newcomb
last Saturday afternoon and locked
up. The finances OF Mr.. Cowie. the
owner of the Penrose Press. have
been found to be in a serious tangle
and the property seized by the sheriff
will probably be SO to satisfy the
demands of creditors. Just what con-
dition Mr. Cowie's affairs are in can
not be ascertained. but 1t is under
stood that he has a considerable In
debtedness with assets insufficient to
meet his obligations. The Penrose
Press has temporarily, at least. sus-
perded publication. and E. G. Downs.
orado Springs to engage in business.
The whereabouts of Mr.. Cowie are
still a mystery to his friends and
former associates on Beaver Park. and
the impression is general that he has
left his home with no intention of vol
unfairly returning to 1t. The amount
of his defalcation. If any, is not
known. Nothing has been heard from
him since a week ago last Thursday.
although inquiries have been made by
the authorities in Denver. Pueblo and
other places within a radius of 200 or
300 miles.

dividing the fire department into two

.ength and the matter referred to the
fire committee with instruct ons to
report at the next regular meeting.
The reorganization of the fire de-
partmens IN this way. which had been
previously recommended to the coun-
Gill; would necessitate the employment
of another fireman. and the chief rea-
son why it has not been adopted at
the time was that the city could not
see its way clear to meet the addi-
entail.
Mayor D. N. Cooper was absent
from the council meeting Mon fay
night and Alderman John Hamilton
presided in his stead. Aldermen

I'VE are anchored in the Thames

count of his money when he goes
ashore on liberty over here.
1.-THE people over here must have
had hard strugg during the war if
appearances are worth anything. They
don't have any luxuries. believe me.
that is the common class of people.
anyhow You can't buy apples, rails
ins. nuts. beef and lots of other
things Our good old Woodrow sure
made a big hit over here. They
went wild over him.
How are you all at home? Hope
you are all getting along nicely. Be
sure and answer right away. I will
close for the present SO I can get
my letter in the mails. They made
us a present of a victor'a in New

played on it after 1t was brought
aboard ship was my favorite selection
