DEATH ANGEL
RELENTLESS
Mrs. A. c. Krause

The sudden death of Mrs. A.. c.
krause. wife Of the physical instructor
Of the Gunnison Normal, which occur
red at her apartments in the Grand
hotel last Saturday evening caused
. feeling Of deep sorrow in the city.
Mrs. Krause had been i'll, but was bet
ter. and able to be up . little. She
was standing At q table tying Christ
mas packages when the stroke came
and she never spoke. Death was due
to q blood clot on the brain
Although Mr.. and Mrs krause have
only lived here a little over a year
Mrs krause has by her gentle, kind
ways and loving disposition won her
q place in the hearts of Gunnison peo-
pie, and every heart aches for the be-
reaved young husband and the parents.
1t was but few weeks ago that the
krauses lost their first born.
Una Arlene Graham was the young
est daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. H. A.
Graham and was born in Elkhart,
Indiana in 1892. She was educated
there and later attended the Univer-
sity Of Bloomington. where she met
her future husband, Arthur Charles
krause, who was assistant physical
director there at that time. They
were married IN rslkhart on november
IL, 1917
Mr.. and Mrs. Krause came to ouI
city a year and half ago, Mr.. krause
being physical director at the Normal

father came in Thursday morning
having been five days on the road.
As we go 10 press, the funeral in be-
ing held this afternoon from the
Grand Hotel. Members of the Normal
faculty will act as pail bearers and the
student members Of the school rs well
as Mr.. Krause's classes will attend In
. body. Interment will be made in
the Gunnison cemetery.
The death of his young matron n
the full bloom of womanhood is in
deed sad, and coming at time wher
every heart and home should be Allied
with happiness, makes one feel all the
more keenly the grief of the bereaved
relatives left to mourn.

SECURE 4 DIRECT AUTO
ROAD TO DENVER

Can you think Of any road or devel-
opment that would equal this for
1921? What, then, shall we do to
The State Highway commission
meets in Denver early in January.
Our county commissioners will doubt
less be there to put the claims Of our
roads before the Board. We need
money on all the roads, but this is
the critical time to get the proposed
highway declared a state road, wheth-
er much work is done upon It in 1921
or later. The business Of locating new
state roads is not going to continue
much further. Pressure will be brot
to bear to complete those already
started, to make them worthy Of the
grest state Of Colorado, and the indus
trial and scenic sections they open.
Who can take up the work In pre-
pairing the facts and figures Of this
route, where it would lead, the exact
distance II would save, and estimated
cost. Who will take these figures to
the adjoining counties that would ben
eft, and those along the route, and
unite them in placing the matter be-
fore the State Highway Commission ?
News-Champion has been repeatedly
urged BY folks from PitlIin and Cum
nison, who have looked into the mat
ter and appreciate what Il would mean
TO have this road on the highway map
Of Colorado, we have been urged time
and again to advocate It, but with the
other state roads in jeopardy, the time
was not ripe. Now Il the time. Every
condition Is ripe II . public spirited
man or organization, or officer can
take It up. The money is available, the
proposed road actually il 100 miles
shorter than any other, and all we
lack are the figures to prove It and
the convincing argument and work to
put il over.

Augustus Post and Colonel

Among the Dissatisfied

The Aero Club Of America is seeking

dissension exists in the governing body
of the Aero Club of America. This
statement was signed by Augustus Post
secretary, and Henry Woodnouse. It
declared that rumors of "shake-up"
were "stoutly denied"
Investigation into this meeting has
elected the fact that six members of
the board of governors are highly in
surgent in their attitude and demanded
the immediate appointment of a COM
mittee to examine the possibility Of
amalgamation with other flying organ
izations in us city that are at present
hostile to the Aero Club. The meeting

Colonel Francis L. V. Hoppin, said to
be one of the insurgents, denied yes
terday that strong language had been
used at the meeting, although he adj
mitted that "there are great many
ways of saying you don't agree with
what the other man says"
Colonel Thompson, president OF the
club, said: There was absolutely no
opposition to the passage of the resolu-
ton empowering me to appoint COM
mittee to examine the situation among
the five or six aeronautical organiza-

Colonel Thompsons reluctance to
form this committee, it was said yes

and on Thursday, when unable to To-
cate the colonel, they sent out a gen.
