An example OF apparent wanton
vandalism was noted by recent visit
ors to the top of Royal Gorge in the
discovery that the pavilion built there
two years ago by college students
under the direction of Prof. Glenn
Gebhardt had been burned to the
ground. Gebhardt recently sold the
property to r. S. Davis of Manitou
who expected to conduct the place
during the coming tourist season. No
clue has been discovered as to the
origin of the fire as no one was re-
siding there at the time of the fire.
As the property was partially cover
cd by insurance it will probably be
rebuilt
Canon City is assured of a company
of the National Guard to be known
as the howitzer company of the 1o7th

company will be mustered in hero to-

in the Annex Hall. The formation of
this company assures Canon City of
