ATE BURRO MEAT
THINKING 1T vENSION

4ontrose Press:-
One Of the best jokes Of the season
IL the eating Of burro meat by -four
of our leading citizens with the same
relish that they do when they bite
into vension.
The joke started during the deer
hunting season when one of our local
hunters took pot shot at a burro,
thinking that it was a buck without
horns, or that its ears were shaped
like antlers. Anyway, the poor burro
paid the price of the mistake. When
the hunter realized his mistake. he
skinned the animal and brought -four
quarters of the burro to Montrose
with him, surreptiously placing them
ON the front porch Of four of his
friends. Thinking that some kind
hunter had remembered them with q
quarter of vension, the recipients Of
the meat started having vension din
ners.

Delta This broad -gauging and the
construction of this tunnel shortens
the distance from Salida to Grand
Junction probably about fifty-five
miles, making il the shortest thru

railroad, doing away with the narrow

state, leaving as narrow gauge only

Your efforts should be pushed with

COLO. YUlE
BEING SETTLED
DISTRICT COURT OF DENVER APP.
PROVES SALE UNDED HAMMER
Property Brings About Half q Million.
But Now Owned in Sections. When
Will il Operate Again?

Practically the final act in winding
up the extended Colorado Yule Mar
BILE company receivership occurred
last week, when Judge C. J. Morley
of the district court in Denver approx
ed Sheriff Hanlon's report Of the sale
Of the company's quarries, manufact-
uring plant and other property in
Cunnison county. But one small par
eel of property remains undisposed of.
II will be placed on the market for
bids at supplemental sale Nov. 3rd.
AS the sale came out, the property
is about evenly divided between Jas.
H. Blood of Denver, and the Wilkes
barre, Pa. commission, in which the
rhief stockholders are j. r. Patterson
and his son-in-law, B. F. Myers.
J. F. Manning, former general man
ager and later receiver FOR the com.
pany, has not yet been discharged
from that duty by the court but will
be retained until formalities connected
with turning over the property to the
purchasers have been completed.
The original bid of the Blood in
terest, which includes those of the
Denver National Bank, was $40, 900. .OC
but the court compelled raise to
about 5000, 100000 to cover the mill
The Willkesbarre interest bid $685.
10000 for the quarry and railroads
just when or how the factions will get
together is a question. The suits
over tax sales are still undecided.

FOOT BALL
CAME TIE
BOTH CANON CITY AND H. S
FAIL TO SCORE IN HARD GAME
Other Normal and High School Note.
Including Names Of Those Regis
tered in Tipped Rooms

By playing a to 0 game with
Canon City High School on the Normal
Athletic field last Saturday afternoon.
the Gunnison High School foot ball
team brought to a worthy finish a
very hard game. Although playing
against older and more experienced
men, the determined defensive work
at critical moments of the local boys
saved them from what looked at times
like certain defeat. The back field
for the Gorge team tore holes in our
line a number of times. only to be
stopped by the excellent tackles of the
secondary defense. During the first
half, the honors were about even, al
though the visitors threatened our
goal in the second quarter only TO
be stopped when Curtis intercepted
4 forward pass back of the goal line.
Immediately following this scare came
the most spectacular run of the game
when Charles Wright tore off tackle
and through their secondary defense
into the open field for a touchdown,
only to be stopped by their quarter
back after covering As yards.
Canon City's line up was changed
for the better at the beginning Of the
second half. Their backfield made big
gains through the Gunnison line, only
TO be held for downs when within a
few yards Of a touchdown. Twice
they were on the verge of scoring, but
the defense was always strong at
these dangerous places. The local
boys threw scare into their oppon-
ents when Ralph Wright attempted .
drop kick from the 40 yard line. The
ball had good altitude and distance
but missed the goal by only two feet.
The punting Of Ralph Wright was far
better than his opponent. as he was
called upon to boot the ball six times,
and each kick covered over forty yards
with the exception Of one which went
out of bounds.
The last quarter consisted Of SER
es by Canon City. The local boys
played defensive all the time, except
when they booted the ball out Of dam
rer. The good tackling of our back
fIeld saved US from being scored on
many times as our line was weak
with the possible exception Of Grat-
ton.

Mr.. and Mrs. Robt. W. Cooper, died
at the home of her parents, at 11:l5

death has thrown n shadow over a
host of her young friends, us well as
her parents and brothers.
The funeral services were held
from the Community church at two
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, Rev. j. S.
Ferris conducted the rites and preach
ed most comforting sermon. The
many beautiful floral offerings which
covered the little casket testified to
the love in which she was held. In
terment was made in the Masons' &
Odd Fellows cemetery.
The many friends Of the family cx-
tend their heartfelt sympathy to the
sorrowing parents and relatives in
the passing Of their beloved Ellen.

Gunnison cattle shipments are start

lola. ranchmen are shipping this
week, and all over the county there
is tremendous demand for cars, some
ranchmen having ordered way back

for some unknown reasons, reasons
which many Of the stockmen think will

A. Z. Reynolds for many year.
prominent mining man Of the San
Jaun region, chief owner Of the "a
nous Revenue tunnel, partner in
mines with the late n. ID. Thatcher
Of Pueblo, has written an open let
ter to the state railroad commission
of Colorado, insisting upon the need
for tunnel construction in southwest
ern Colorado, and urging the state
railroad commission to give attention
to il.
In connection with the question Of
whether the Denver and Rio Grandc
should be broad-guaged over Marshall
lass or whether it should remain as
il is until tunnel is built thru the
Pass, Mr.. Reynolds states:
We now travel over Marshall Pass
on grade very much of which is 4
per cent, and land in the valley of the
Gunnison river and its branches ON
the western side, passing on a water
grade down to what is known as Ci-
marron station, where we meet the
second obstruction on this line, known
as Cerro Summit, where there Is nm
equally bad, altho somewhat shorter
hill to climb-probably more diff
cult grade than Marshall Pass-and
we again descend into the valley of
the Cucompahgre river at Montrose,
This is the line by the Rio Grande
railway from Denver and Pueblo to
Grand Junction.
The construction of the Monarch
tunnel will eliminate these 4 per
cent grades, reducing them to . max.
imum Of 2 per cent for the shortened
distance from Salida to the eastern
portal Of the tunnel, thru the un.
mel, taking down grade from the
western portal eight miles to the sta
tion Of Sargent, where the prcsent
line is reached and where the water
grade again takes US to the Cimsr-
ron station before referred to.
In connection with this tunnel work
It is safe to make the statement that
the Denver 4 Rio Grande railrpsd
contemplates and would construct
broad-gauging Of all its lines from Sa-
Ida to Ouray and Montrose, and, on
reaching Cimarron station referred TO.
would construct . new line following
the Gncompahgre river ON . pfacti-
cally uniform down grade II r. ~

gauge line now from Montrose to

A PITIFUL STORY FROM
STRICKEN EUROPE
Can We Not Give q Few Dollars 10
Stop Heart Rendering Scenes Like
This?

Two streams Of forlorn homeward-
bound refugees travelling in opposite
directions; deserted villages; carcasses
and bone-strewn roadways; barren
fields, and great focks Of crows
croaking their mournful calls amid
the terrible dcsolation-these are
some of the principal sights viewed
by American Jewish Relief workers in
the Pinsk region Of Poland.
Frank w. America. representing
the Jewish Relief committee and the
American Red Cross, thus describes
recent trip thru the war-wrecked
region east Of the Bug river, which
is probably the most desolate country
in the whole world today:
1--WE noticed that the rpadsides
were strcwn with the bones of humans
and animals. They had, in some cases,
been there long enough to be parched
white. Others had not been there
very long.
I'VE came to a small village. No
smoke came from any of the Chin
neys. After hunting all through
the wrecked and desolate place,
searching for some signs of human
habitation, we came upon one poor
woman sitting amid the ruins of a
cottage, crying and holding baby
in her arms.
"The woman had the mark Of death
upon her. She was starving. God
knows when she had eaten anything.
When we approached her we were
stricken silent with pity. The baby
was dead upon her breast"
Colorado is being asked to contrib
ute 1854 900 toward national fund
Of s35 100000 to relieve this terrible
