INVESTIGATION CONTINUED
OF ERNEST WITHERS' DEATH

Seldom. II ever In Pueblo has any
tragedy caused such universal sorrow
and regret as the death OF Ernest T..

ately killed by an unknown person
while returning TO his home lat. Mon

No porson In Pueblo had widsr or
more numerous circle OF friends than

lines OF public service had won for
him a prominent place among the
younger and more active business mel
OF the city.

point to an accident OF some kind, the
details OF which are not discovered.
The most important development so
far az public information goes was the
finding of'the fatal bullet in the car
This seems conclusive evidence that
the speed Of the bullet was nearly cx-

A Biblical Phrase.

In many of the grandest of Script
ural phrases there is not a little sug-
Sestion of the simplicity of childhood,
and on the other hand it not infre-
quently happens that some childish
speech reminds one of the utterances
of the prophets of old.
An instance Of this as given not long
ago by lad of five or six summers. He
had probably never heard the Biblical
sentence wherein it is said of Jehovah
that "He bowed the heavens and came
down." but it was in much the same
spirit that he asked his father.
Papa, why doesn't the sky bend
down when God stands up ?"
The chief difference was that be-
tween conscious and unconscious i'm
agery.

Making a Start.

One member of party Of people
from a mountain boarding house, who
were taking long drive in closely
packed vehicle, was a tall, lank indi-
vidual who insisted on getting out Of
the wagon and walking up the num-
erous hills, to relieve the horses.
His ungainly and awkward Efforts
to regain his seat in the well-filled We
hcle, at the top of each hill, occasioned
little delay and no little chatting on the
part of his companions.
Finally, when particularly long hill
had been nearly surmounted, one OF
the party called back to the long-limbed
individual, who was tagging behind
some distance behind the wagon:
Come now, Jameson, don't you
think you had better begin to get in p"
The laughter that greeted this sally
was joined heartily by the elongated
Jameson himself.

A somewhat similar remark, less

by another man.

Men may be good soldiers without

men may be amusing when they are
weighed DOWN by the gravest respon-
sibilities.
On the evening before solar eclipse
not long ago the colonel of a regiment
of German infantry sent for all his ser
geanis, and said to them:
There will be an eclipse of the sun
tomorrow. The regiment will meet on
the parade grounds in undress. | will
come and explain the eclipse before the
drill. If the DAY is cloudy, the men will
meet in the dTill-shcd as usual"
The sergeants thereupon drew up the
following order for The day:
Tomorrow morning, by order Of the
colonel, there will be an eclipse of the
sun. The regiment will assemble on
the battle-ground, where the colonel
will come and superintend the eclipse
in person. If the day is cloudy the
eclipse will take place in the drill
shed"

amined him very carefully, and pres

suffered any inconvenience from the
other eye, the right one.
"None whatever" was the reply.
"Still," said the oculist, dryly, at is

sight of your left eye, inasmuch as you

Will say a few words in reply
to the letter from Mulberry in
the last issue of the News.
At the January term of the
Comfy Court 1921 was elected
Superintendent Of the Public
Roads of Hancock County, and
at the same Court Mr.. r. T.
Greene and Mr.. w. K. Fugate
was elected as Assrstent Super
intendents; Mr., X. 7. Greenewas
to have CONTROL of all of the
roads in South of the County
and Mr.. Fugate was to have char
&c and CONTROL the three districts
in the north of the county. Mr..
Gath or who may be better known
as Arch Parkey, being one of the
five members of the County
Court who lives in the districts
controlled by Mr.. Fugate. came
to me personally and asked that
Mr.. Fugate be given absolute
of the 9Th, 9th, and 18th
districts to which l agreed and
for that reason | have never
bothered Mr.. Greens or Mr.. Fug-
ates sections of the county until
they we're legislated out of Office
r. ~, last meeting of the Legis-
~ and from that act / pro-
cecdo5 toappoint overseers oh all
sectic..s of the roads in Hancock
County and give every body a
chance TO work but we can make |
them pay and have the work
done latter.
/ believe that | have as much

Gath or any other man in Han
cock County. | have just finish
ed bridge across Briar Creek |
where | gave free of charge
twenty one days actual labor, a
man can't be allover the county |
at the same time.
certainly like the people on
Mulberry and will do all in my
power to improve the roads in
that section if they will only ask !
me in the right way.
| only ask the cooperation of
the good citizens of the county |
and / will do all in my power to
improve the roads.
