Mrs. Gilman's 5 Daughter
Victim Of Blackmailer

Nearly everyone has read the ac-
count, probably, in the Denver
papers of the blackmailing case of
Mrs. Goldie Hughes, who was APP
pretended at lhe Baltimore hotel
hotel in Denver, when she attempt
ell to blackmail Mrs. George @.
Rist, city clerk and very popular
woman of Loveland. But in read
ing the article, they were probably
not aware that the story has a
local bearing, in as much as the
mother of Mrs. Rist, Mrs G. A.
Gilman, resides in this city.
Mrs. Goldie Hughes, who was
telegraph operator in Loveland for
several months, admitted tnat she
knew no harm of Mrs. Rist, but
simply needed the money, and
thought she saw an easy way OF
getting some so she wrote the
threatening letter to Loveland's
city clerk, but found that she was
not an easy mark, as she evident
ly had supposed. Mrs. Rist gave
the letter at once to the postal au-
thorities, who advises her to send
the envelope to the address given,
with a roll of blank paper repre-
senting the requested $3.50, which
she did. The Denver authorities
were notified, and when Mrs.
Mrs. Hughes received the mail
from Loveland, was arrested.
She put up big plea for her
poverty, which was very evident,
and was released on her own recog.
nizance, pending action by the
federal grand jury, with the APP
proval of United States District
Attorney J. Foster Symes.

Houses Getting Scarce
In This Ideal Burg

This time last year, and even
later, there were plenty of empty
houses in Idaho Springs, and many
good modern houses, but now it
is almost impossible to find good
house for rent. Especially is this
true Of furnished houses. There
are calls continually for suitable
furnished houses, and it seems
that 1t would pay for some one to
buy up few places and furnish
them TOR renting. If houses are
getting scarce now, where will
we keep the people when tourists
begin to come in?
