WANTED IN OREGON
FOE FORGERY

About 4 O'Clock Wednesday morn
ing Sheriff Fravert met train No. Q
from the west and placed under az
rest and soon thereafter landed in the
county Jail J. H. Harris, alias H. Har-
ris, whom the sheriff at Salt Lake
advised him by wire was wanted in
Portland, Oregon for obtaining money
under false pretenses.
Harris was sound asleep in q birth
in the Pullman, and when wakened he
assured Fravert that there must be
some mistake about it as he could not
imagine who would want him arrested
or on what charge.
Since he was placed in Jail he still
maintains that he is innocent of any
crime and declares it is all q mistake.
However, the description wired from
Salt Lake fits Harris to T, except
that he does not acknowledge tile name
of Harris, but will not divulge his
correct name.
Harris is said to be an ex-pugilist,
although at present travelling for a
clothing house. Wednesday evening
Fravert received wire from the sher-
iff at Portland saying an officer would
leave in a day or two to take Harris
back to Portland. 1t is not known
whether Harris will return to the
scene Of his alleged crime without re-
QUESTION papers, and If 1t 10 necessary
to secure these, it may mean consider
able delay.

THE STORM

It is not often that Colorado editors
are given an opportunity to write con.
corning local storm, but last Monday
there were some climatic doin's that
cannot be completely overlooked BY .
wide-awske newspaper whose business
it is to give the news.
People who have spent their lives in
Co'orado considered it terrible storm
anl it is generally pronounced the
worst over seen by the "oldest inh .b,
tAnt'', and the truth is it was bad
onough for the short time it lasted,
and yet it was only a pocket edition
compared with some we have seen back
in Kansas. The trouble with those
Kansas billiards is that they don t
know how to say Goodbye, but have
q habit Of prolonging their obnoxious
presence until 1t makes a fellow won.
dor il tho sun will ever shine again.
Last Monday the blowing snow, cd.
dying through the streets and lanes
made travelling very disagreeable, and
almost impossible, and while these an.
ties extended over the day and we'll
into the night, the next day We wore
all moving about in our accustomed
way, and while the thermometer re-.
sistered from II to 16 below zero here
at the worst, 20 below in Grand juno.
tion and the same in Denver, and Is
in Red Cliff, the weather the past few
days has been pleasant, with . little
fresh snow every night.
While this 10 an unusual storm for
Colorado, and especially for this time
Of year, it is now probable that We
have much good weather ahead, and in
view Of the improved coal situation,
our people are feeling very much en-
courased over the outlook.

Pero el punto principal del pro-
yecto de enviar tropas aliadas

que todas las potencias esperan
que los soldados americanos sean
los que former la mayor parte de
la expedition. Algunos individuos
han llegado al extreme de propo-
ner que sean solamente los anne
ricanos los qua vayan a Russia en-
atencion que el pueblo russo no
desconfia de los Estados Unidos v
que de esta manera tai vez seria
possible evitar derramamiento de
sangre.

je va de teorizar idealizar y que

gun Sc cree, que el sagaz Minis

ner la crisis inglesa con la prone
sa de que el estado de guerra ter

que Alemania Sc refuse cuwplir

Sc tiene entendido que el Maris-
cal Foch ha desaprobado el pro-
Iyecto de que tan solo sean dos di-

tencia armada, en- cuyo case, los
