CONFESSED FoRaER
RECEIVES SENTENCE.

In the district court last Monday
two informations were fled by District
Attorney Delaney against John Lehr,
in which the defendant was charged
on two counts with forgery. The first
charge WAS that Lehr falsely, fraudu-
lently and felonhously made and exc
cuted certain check to Mildred Lehr
for $45, the said check purporting to
have been executed by Henry Hasley
of Silt. This Is the check which Lehr
passed on Howard l. Torrey of this
city in exchange for goods, and it must
be admitted that an excellent stagger
had been made by way of initiating
MI. Hasley's signature.
A similar charge to the above was
made as to the making of a check to
Jake Smith for go, this check also
bearing Mr.. Hasley's signature in very
good imitation of the genuine.
Questioned as to his guilt or limo
cence, Mr.. Lehr admitted the charges
against him and announced his readi-
ness for sentence.
The testimony of H. L. Torrey and
Sheriff Jessup was taken in support of
the charges filed against the prisoner,
and then Judge shumate pronounced
sentence, which was from two to four
years on the first count and from eigh-
teen months to two years on the Sec
ond count, not eoneurrently, but the
one sentence to follow the other, or
the sentence on the second count to
begin when the first count shall havs
been finished, thus making his total
sentence from three and half to
seven years.
Sheriff Jessup left Monday night for
Canon City, where Lehr was placed In
the penitentiary. The place probably
looks like home to Lehr, for this is not
his. first prison experience.

HIGH WATERS CREATE
Comfortable STIR

Quite telling Of unrest was ere
atpd Wednesday on receipt of a tele-
gram by Postmaster Smith from the
federal weather bureau at Denver
warning our people that II heavy rise
in the Grand river might be expected
within the next "a hours and that the
water would doubtless reach the over
flow stage.
The gauge maintained at Glenwood in
front of the power house was watched
the night. Wednesday morning the
gauge stood at 1l.40 feet, the water
rising gradually during the day, until
at midnight the depth was 1910 feet,
showing a rise of just one foot in less
than "a hours. The water then began
to recede, reaching the 12-foot mark
by Thursday noon. AS the Post goes
to press there are no Indications of a
further rise in the river, and it is now
believed that the high-water peak for
1921 was passed on Wednesday, June
10, when the depth was greater than
at any time since 1918, when it reach
ed the same mark on the same date
June 15-receding the next Sday.
At Rifle the Rio Grande kept three
work trains busy all of Wednesday
hauling rock to ballast and protect
their property at that place, but in
spite of all that could be done some
valuable property was washed sway
west of town.
The Roaring Fork was also very high
at Glenwood Wednesday, and above
Carbonate much damage was done to
ranch property, while at Glenwood it
reached threatening depth and
caused considerable apprehension for
time.
The new Canon road is under water
for considerable distance, a portion
of the way to distance of nearly
two feet, thus making it impossible
for automobiles to reach US from the
east. II is believed, however, that the
water will soon recede to a point of
safety, although, Of course, this will
depend very much on the condition of
the weather in the near future.

IN THoRsoN-MARsHALL CASE

An echo of the Thorson Marshall
case was heard in the district court
Wednesday when the motion of Thor
son to disallow some witness fees was
urged by Judge Beardsley and opposed
by 8. G. McMullen of Grand Junction
on behalf Of Marshall and his wit
nesscs. u. 4 --.r-.s-
Inasmuch IS the parties had not
been regularly served, Judge Shumate
sustained the motion as to mileage,
but allowed the per diem attendance
to the witnesses who testified in court.
This is probably the last curt action in
this case. .f

HIGHWAY DISTRICT
IS ORGANIZED Ed
Commissioners from Eleven
Western Slope Counties
Discuss Roads
A PROFITABLE MEETING

| The commissioners of Garfield coun-
ty and County Clerk Frost attended .
meeting at Grand Junction last Mon
day for the purpose of joining with
the commissioners of other western
slope counties in the organization Of
the second highway district of Color
ado.
The officers elected were G. johnson
of Mesa, president; ]. Hartman of
Montrose, vice-president; j. E. Becky
of Delta, secretary treasurer.
William Weiser of Grand Junction,
a member Of the state highway advis-
ory board, made the principal address
at a banquet held at the Y. NJ. G. A,
and gave his views as to the work that
is to be done and the way in which It
should be done. All expressed regret
transportation conditions, of Mr.. Bleu-
welt, chief engineer of the highway
board, and Bob Higgins, member of
the board. The Grand Junction News
has the following concerning Mr.. Wei
ser s address:
| Mr.. Weiser went on to state that
he is and always has been great high
way enthusiast, and that he hoped for
good work under the new system. The
highway department is not a political
department and it's chief aim is to link
the eastern part of the state with the
western part by three main highways,
and the northern part to the southern
by three more routes. 1t is yet to be
decided where these are to be locaed,
but in all probability the counties hav-
ing the greatest stretches of cement
highways will have the preference
when the roads are laid
"The speaker urged the commission
ers to spend every dollar toward the
construction of permanent roads. He
cited California as a state that had
bonded itself for $73, 100000 for road
work and had found it a 100 per cent.
investment. Through lines of travel
over this state would relieve the rail
road situation, which is becoming
stringent and for which there seems to
be no present or permanent relief.
-''Of the 100000 bond issue auth
orized by the last legislature for state
road construction, district No. is to
have $2O7 900. OF this sum $4,000 is
now available. Mr.. Weiser went on
to show that there were 5000 miles
Of state highway in Colorado without
dollars worth of indebtedness. This
would make the present bond issue at
tractive to investors, and within a short
time they expect o have the entire ap-
Fortioned sum available for district
No. g."
At the close of the session the Gar
field county commissioners invited Mr..
Wciser to visit this county and agreed
to take him around and show him the
needs of this county along the line of
better roads. He accepted the invita-
tion, and it is expected that he W =
visit us in the near future. .-,

Historical Society

,----- ~- uay Of the disaster.
Election of officers was the chief
business of this session and resulted
in the election of Mrs. John 7. Shu-
mate a. president, with Mrs. j. W.
Bell, corresponding secretary, and Mrs.
Raymond Harris of Literary Sorosis
at Basalt as recording secretary.
The report Of the treasurer showed
the scholarship fund being used to
splendid advantage and steadily in
creasing in volume.
At one O'Clock the joint delegates
and visiting club ladies were invited
to partake of a gorgeous banquet by
the hostess of the club. The tables
presented most attractive appearance
with their snowy linen, glittering cut
glass, dainty china and shining silver.
Flowers were used in profusion in
every nook and corner and favors con
sisting of boutonnieres of lavender and
yellow flowers tied with fluffy bows Of
ribbons of the same color graced each
individual place.
The banquet, such one as Carbon
dale ladies are famed for giving, was
enjoyed by los hungry, happy women.
At the close of the banquet the bust
ness session of the tri-county was re-
sumed. Among other things it was
voted that a telegram bearing greetings
and good wishes from the tri-count
to its first president, Mrs. Eugene
Grub, be sent at once to her in her
home in California.
The business session was closed, AZ
ter which most interesting program,
consisting of specially prepared papers
from each of the tri-county clubs, in
terspersed with music, was given, with
Mrs. A. l.. Sebree of the hostess club
officiating.
One of the most interesting parts of
the tri-county program was a History
of the Tri-County Federation, prepared
and read by Mrs. Chas. H. King Of the
Civic Improvement and Literary club
Of this city. From the organization
of the tri-county federation in 1908
to the present time, Mrs. King gave
numerous anecdotes and facts concern
ing the growth and development
the organization, which obtained its
name from the Tri-County Teachers
association, which was at that time
fiourishing. Mrs. King had carefully
compiled her paper from the minutes
of the federation made at the vari0us
meetings and which were kept on rec
ord. This history recalled many inter
esting incidents to the minds of many
Of the older members of the different
clubs comprising the tri-county feder-
alton and was thoroughly enjoyed by
everyone.
Another interesting paper was writ
ten by Mrs. E. NJ. Tully, who was un-
able to attend, but whose paper was
read by Mrs. Gretta Pottcnger.
The tri-county accepted the invita-
ton of the Literary Sorosis club OF Ba
salt to meet with them in the fall.
The northwest district adjourned to
meet with the Woman's club of Grand
Junction year hence.
An evenings program of music,
among which were beautiful vocal Sc
lections by Mrs. Raymond Harris of
Basalt and Miss Mabel Moore, now OF
Carbonate, closed one of the most sue
cessful Women's club meetings ever
held in Garfield county, with everyone
feeling that Carbondale had outdone
herself on this occasion.

GLENWOOD MANS
FLOOD EXPERIENCE
Ellis Crissman Does His Part
in Restoring Order After
the Big Flood
LIFE LOSS ONLY GUESS

Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis Crissman arrived
in Glenwood Tuesday morning from
Pueblo, where they have made their
home for the past several months. Mr..
Crissman was witness to some of the
worst scenes in connection with the
great calamity which recently has lev
led such heavy toll on life and prop
erty, and inasmuch as business was
paralyzed as result of the flood, they
decided they had better get away
while the getting was good.
After he had retired on that Hateful
Friday night, Mr.. Crissman was awak-
ened by fellow workman, who advised
him that several fires were burning
down town, apparently in the vicinity
of the jewelry store in which hey work
and suggesting that they had better go
down and get their tools out.
When they reached the dangerous
section they were stopped by the local
company Of the national guard, and
were not allowed to proceed. On Sat
urday Ellis donned his uniform, and
armed with deputy sheriff's comm
sion, he did guard duty all day, aud
was all through the segregated dis
trict and witnessed many sights which
he hopes he may never see repeated.
Saturday morning at Fifth and
Court he saw where large frame
house had literally aoated down the
street quite distance, finally lodging
against heavy stone garage. When
he went down on the bluffs overlook
ing the danger area he saw a man
standing on the roof of frame dwell
ing which had floated several hundred
feet and which had lodged in the
branches of a large tree quite dis
lance from the shore. The man had
remained there all night, and although
apparently safe so long as he remained
on tho roof, he had suffered much from
exposure, and no one enievd him his
position. He was soon rescued.
After recovering from the first
shock of the terrible tragedy the bust
ess men at once organized, elected com
mittees and adopted rules in regard to
the issuing of food and other supplies,
and thus prevented the sale of grocer
les except to holders of food cards,
these cards being issued every morn
ing and allowing the sale of enough
food to last family a day, according
to the number of persons in each fam
ily The Red Cross, Mr.. Crissman says,
did excellent work, just as it always
does in such cases of emergency.
A splendid work is now being done
by the United States army engineering
corps to prevent pestilence, and in
combating the danger arising from
decaying flesh Of animals and probably
Of human beings buried or partially
buried beneath the debris, barrels of
having been used, but
notwithstanding the great care and the
caution that has been used, the stencil
in many parts of the city is sickening
and almost unbearable. To give some
