HARPER IS NO
LONGER CHAMPION

Dave Harper of Eagle county has
long posed as the champion chess play
er of his section, but he has changed
his mind, and now he freely admits
that he is no longer a champion, unless
it be that he holds the record as Mr..
E. 2. Mark Bootlegger of Eagle and
Garfield counties.
Dave came in on Rio Grande No. Is
last Tuesday morning, all dolled up as
right hand, loog of innocence and e1-
pectant prosperity adjoining his brow,
and visions of a prosperous Christmas
fitting across his brain. He was met
at the train by Sheriff Fravert, who
accosted him with "Hello. Dave; let g
step in here minute.' And with that
he edged Dave over toward the baggage
room, where the latter put his case up
on the platform and very cautiously
began to show his goods. He after
wards admitted that he did not at first
recognize the sheriff, but just thought
he had found new customer and that
it was in the cards that things were
to come mighty smooth for him on this
trip.
Mr.. Fravert advised Dave that he
could examine the goods much better
down at his office, and then he escorted
Dave to the sheriff's office, where he
examined and contiscated eight pint
bottles of "white muleD which he
found in Dawes case.
District court being in session, the
sheriff escorted his prisoner into the
presence of Judge Shumate, filing a
complaint charging Harper with VIC
lating the prohibition law, and the pri-
soner, so cleverly caught with the goods
entered plea of guilty and was fined
500 and costs and sentenced to Jail
until both fine and costs were paid.
AT 1:30 Harper returned to court
with the cash and paid $124.75 as fine
and costs, and as he walked out of the
court house and up the street someone
accosted him and made inquiry as to
whether he still claimed to be the
champion chess player, and Dave made
reply that he was no longer champion
of anything, and with forced grin
he added, "Unless / am the champion

BURL|NGTON-GRANDE
HAVE MERGED

DENVER, Dec. 14.-Sweeping plans
are under way in connection with the
recent purchase of the Denver g. Rio
Grande railroad which contemplate the
merger of the great Burlington system,
with terminals at Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis, st. Louis, Omaha and Kan
sas City. with the recognized Rio
Grande and Western Pacific, says the
Times.
For the purpose of insuring the short
transcontinental line, the Burlington, it
was stated, has secured control of the
bonds of the Denver & Salt Lake rail-
road (the Motfat railroad). The plan
as outlined for securing the short line
involves the use of the Moffat rails to
Coal Greer, twenty-three miles from
Denver. the construction of new
grade to the south, swinging around to
enter Clear Creek canon high on its
northern side, avoiding the present ex-
cessive grade of the Colorado & South
ern-a Burlington controlled property
through Idaho Springs to Empire.
1t is then proposed to pierce the
range at Empire with a 3-mile tunnel
instead of the six-mile tunnel proposed
through James Peak, on the Moffat
railroad This tunnel would cut through
the mountain just to the south Of Ber-
thoud Pass at one of the "thinnesto
places in the range. From the tunnel IL
short line of new track would carry the
road to Tabernash. from where it would
again use the Moffat track to Crested
and ney forty mile stretch of track
from Crested to Dotsero, on the Rio
Grande system This would enable
through transcontinental trains to cover
the distance between Denver and Dot
sero in 1T miles instead of the dis
lance now Travelled by the Rio Grandc
of 1853 miles.
The meeting to complete the organi-
cation of the holding and operating
companies of the Rio Grande will be
held in Denver next Monday, accord,
ing to information received in Denver
this month.

Risbops of the Anglican church who

The appeal is directed to the or
thodox churches of the east and the

wide that there can be no doubt
large numbers of the bishops who is

they are separated from the church,
the Anglican communion has so much
in common, both in faith and in

Red Army Near Revolt.

Stockholm, Oct. 1o.-A dispatch to
the Dagens Nyheter from Reveal
says:
There is no doubt that the soviet
army is facing dissolution. The
new peace terms were forced through
as desperate means to prevent this
dissolution.
THE news that the army's. delega-
ton of twelve men sent to Moscow
were shot caused great indignation
and assisted considerably in the
Polish victory at the Niemen River.
A second delegation was arrested but
the army now has sent third dele
cation, urgently demanding that the
army's will be obeyed, that peace be
concluded and that satisfaction be
given for the delegates who were
shot.
"Lenine and Trotzky (the bolshe-
visit lcaders) now have completely
yielded and dispatched new peace
emissaries to Finland and Poland.
The long resistance against peace has
considerably decreased the willing
ness of the army to fight its enc
miles,"

Harrisonville Station Agent Held
Up.

Tuesday morning about o'clock,

desk, in the observation windows,
busy with his work. He heard a
command to stick EN- up" he looked
up and saw a man at the south VIM
dow covering" him with an auto
n4aHc> revolver, says the Cass County
Democrat. He raised his hands, and
was kept covered while another man
entered the office. The second ban
dit also covered" him with an auto
matte revolver, while the first bandit
.entered the office Asked where the
money was kept, Mr.. Foreman, at
tempting to save the company's
money, replied that he did not have
any in the office, but the robbers
were not satisfied with his answer, so
the first one began searching the
room, finding the ticket money in a
drawer. The men would probably
have committed other depredations,
but they did not have time, owing to
the fact that train was just enter
ing the ydTQS. AIteI securing tHe
money, they backed out of the office,
still keeping the operator covered,
then north across the tracks,
passing the Gwathmey Manufacture
ing -Company's- iron foundry As
soon as he had time, Mr.. Foreman
notified the authorities of Harrison
vile, Pleasant Hill, Archie and
Adrian.
One OF the bandits is described as
being tall, wearing brown suit and
cap, and about 81 years of age. The
other one was rather >heavy-set, was
wearing blue serge suit and cap,
and was about IS years of age. -..ls
description is substantiated by F. ].
