OF LATE D. L. DRAKE
Gunnison Empire.

Gunnison Empire.
Washington, Nov. 23.-D. L. Drake,
an American citizen employed by the
Cananea Cattle Company at Cananea,
Son, Mexico, died at that place of
hemorrhage of the lungs on November
10, 1917. leaving some thousands of
dollars in bank.
On April 1, 1919, the Mexican court
having jurisdiction of the case, ap-
pointed one A. L. Houck "depositario."
The officials in charge of the settle
ment of the estate have been unable
to ascertain where Mr.. Drake resided
in the United States before going to
Mexico, and whether there are any
relatives of the deceased Friends or
relatives of the deceased may obtain
further information in regard to his
death and estate by addressing the
Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
found the above dispatch in the
Los Angeles Times d. L. Drake, W..
H, King and Dave Markley kept the
road house or eating station at Kings
ranch on the road from Gunnison to
Irwin, in 1880. The firm was King,
Drake and Markley. Almighty fine
meal for man and beast we used to
get. All travellers in that day were
glad to get there.
A Miss Parker came out from Kan
sas in 1881, to teach school in Irwin.
She was married that year to Mr..
Drake. They lived in the country
four or FIVE years, then drifted away
out of sight like the most of us.
In 1891 I was inspecting the Cen
tennial- Eureka mine in the Tintic
district of Utah. In going down sew
eral hundred feet in the shaft on the
cage at night, I got off at the lower
level, which was all lighted up, and
who should see but my old friend
Drake. He was night shift boss on
the mine. think Drake was a native
of New York state. If Dave Markley
is living he resides in Montrose and
might know something about brakes
people if he had any, and this notice
comes to his attention
| Kings ranch was noted and con-
spicuous stopping place in the early
days. 1t was afterwards bought by q
very fine old gentleman and his son
by the name of Hines, who came out
from Pennsylvania to develop coal
lands. so the later generation may
know it as Hines ranch.

One of the riches discoveries ever
made since N. c. sCreede wandered
up Windy gulch was unearthed in
the Candle office last Sunday. 1t hap
pened this way: While the editor
was in the office last Sabbath, waiting
for the Sunday school bells to ring, it
occurred to him that he might ex-
plore one of the many boxes contain
ing old type, brass rule, old cuts and
other bric-a-brac passed into the dis
card years ago. The unloading pro-
cess had not gone far when something
that looked like the neck of bottle
protruded, further Investigations
proved it was a bottle, and it was la
beled "Budweiser." A friend dropped
in and an inquest was held, and after
carefully locking the door the fluid
was poured-into glasses. The report
got out and callers made us an offer
of SIS each for future discoveries. We
wonder what kind of printers infested
this Office and let a treasure of that
kind go by for five years without find
ing it.-Creede Candle.

Over Craftsmanship
Senator Harrison Accompanies
White to St. Louis Meet

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. - George
White, chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, and several other
party leaders left here tonight for
St. Louis to attend the committees
meeting, opening November l. The
party leaders expressed themselves as
uncertain whether "a fight or frolic"
would develop at St. Louis.
There were several reports that a
movement might develop at the meet

said every possible effort would be
made to continue party harmony.

AviatOrs Clash
Over Ar1nistice
ReunionD Dinner
Plan OF briggs, Founder of
Defunct American Flying
Club, to Hold Rival AZ
fair Threatens New Split
Aero Club Will Give Its
Program at Pennsylvania;
The Other at Commodore

The aviators of this country are all
up IN the air over their annual Armis-
tlce Day reunion dinner this year The
trouble arises from the fact that two
separate and distinct reunion" din
ners are being arranged, one at the
Hotel Commodore and one at the
Pennsylvania.
This situation, according to some Of
the avlators, presages the opening
again of the split in aviation club-life
that was apparently patched up two
years ago, when the American Flying
Club and the Aero Club of America
merged into re-organized institution
bearing the latter name.
The present break has been made by
Laurence L. briggs, founder and presi-
dent of the now defunct American Fly
ing Club. He is organizing the dinner
at the Commodore and threatens to
form a new aviators' club. The other
dinner is in the hands of the Aero Club
of Americas dinner committee.

Two, One a Woman,
Trapped in Flames,
Saved by Firemen
Rescuers Overcome After
Carrying Helpless Tenants
Out of Eighth Ave. House
Burning Early in Morning

Two fremen and two tenants they
saved from death were injured in a
two-alarm fire in the five story brick
tenement at 2l20 Eighth Avenue yes
terday morning.
OF the injured, George Deliz. TWEEN
ty-four years old, who had a room in
the top floor apartment of Joaquin
Mora, is believed to be in a dying con-
dition in Harlem Hospital with his
body badly burned.
The fire broke out in the basement
and spread rapidly through the house.
Mora had got his family out of the
house safely and then remembering
that Deliz was in his room returned
and knocked but could not awaken the
ledger. A few minutes later Deliz
was shouting and frantically waving
a piece of cloth to attract passengers
on the platform of the 116th Street
elevated station opposite the house.
Henry Littenfeld, of Truck 40, made
his way to Deliz and carried him
down through smoke and fire to- the
front entrance. The fireman was for
time overcome by the smoke, but
soon recovered. He found Deliz pretty
badly hurt and in frightened state
under a bed.
Mrs. Mary Stude, forty-fve years
old, was carried down from the third
floor by William E. Lynch, Of Company
76 on a ladder. She was slightly
hurt, but Lynch fell unconscious when
he reached the street. He recovered
quickly. The damage caused by the
fire has not been estimated yet.

Senator Smoot proposed to amend the

with the briggs faction ut present on
the offensive.
The heaviest bomb dropped so far in
this warfare was released last week
from the briggs headquarters at So
Vanderbilt Avenue. IL took the form
of a printed circular to the aviators
who were members of the old Ameri-
can Flying Club, and read as follows
DO not confuse our regular aviators'
reunion dinner, to be held at the Hotel
Commodore on Armistice night, with q
rival dinner which is announced at the
Hotel Pennsylvania on the same night.
The rival affair has used, without au-
thority, the-na Third Armistice Din
ner.' The aviators' dinner at the Com
modore is $3.50 plate and there will
be no speeches, instead of $40, with
speeches by eminent authorities, at the
Pennsylvania. Get the old crowd to-
gether. Let's make this the biggest re-
union since the war. Preparations are
under way to reorganize an aviators
club IN New I ork City.
Just who are the eminent authori-
ties" who will cost the diners an extra
$3.50 person could not be ascertained
yesterday.
Dinners Helped to Pay Debts
At the time of the amalgamation OF
the two clubs the American Flying Club
was heavily in debt, and the Armistce
dinners were used in the etfortt tc
liquidate these debts.
In his letter to Mr.. briggs Colone
Hartney points out that the dinner was
handled last year by the Aero Clut
without any trouble. He further |of
fered to use his influence with the di
recsors of the Aero Club to apply the
proceeds toward the debts if briggs
would consent to single reunion din
ner.
Apparently there has been dissatis
faction recently among members of the
Aero Club, and those who have differed
with the governing body have f1ocket
to the standard of briggs. However
the dinner committee lists show that {
larger number of the influential mem
bers of the old American Flying Clut
are siding with the Aero Club in the
controversy
