Auto Thieves I'm GunnisOn
q Gunnicoa Enniaira


Auto thieves tried themselves out
SUNDAY night in Gunnison.
Going to John Yoklavicks place
they ran his Ford away by hand,
worked themselves half to death try
ing to crank it and gave it up in
disgust Then to Walter Haymaker's
where more hard labor failed to
make his Lizzie tune up. From there
they tackled Jack Mahoney's car and
managed to start it and light out
Monday morning Pat Hanlon got
busy and the thieves will doubtless
be headed of. at some point east or
west. Gunnison is poor place to
steal cars for there are few routes
out and all easily reached by phone.
The stolen car is minus windshield
and the tires are on the blink.
LATER-The machine was recov-
cred between Paonia and Hotchkiss,
where it, had been abandoned after
running out of gas.

One Marriage Secret That Was Kept

One Marriage Secret That Was Kept
Gunnison Empire.
Last January, the 10th to be accu-
rate, Blaine Guthrie was seen to
mount the west bound train clad in
glad rags and boxing more or less
sneaking. Boarding the same train
we observed Miss Margaret Stevens,
a young lady from Virginia who had
been doing stenographic work for the
Rio Grande, and whom Blaine had
shown considerable interest in for
months past We were suspicious at
the time that wedding was coming
off, but careful inquiry and investiga-
tion did not confirm our view.
Last Sunday the lady returned to
Gunnison from Grand Junct tion, where
she has been staying and repaired to
the Guthrie home, where on Monday
morning she presented her husband
with fine baby boy Then it was
disclosed that our previous suspicion
was founded on facts, for on January
10th, at Montrose, the Presbyterian
minister officiating, Blaine Guthrie
and Miss Margaret Stevens were qui-
etly married
For the past months Mrs. Guthrie
has been employed in Grand Junction
and her husband has successfully con-
cealed the fact. that he was in the
benedict class.
Needless to say the young folks
are receiving belated congratulations
from their many friends.

CORONER's INQUEST
Justice Florer. Acting Coroner, Con-
ducts Inquiry into Death of Howard
Carpenter

Gunnison Empire.
On Sunday a hunter named Story
found the skeleton of Howard Car
penter, who lost his life in the hills
on October 3, 1912, and who could not
be found until this late date. The
remains were found about two miles
from Anderson's saw mill, going
toward Stevens Lake, and were in
territory closely covered by searching
parties at the time of his death.
The Gunnison authorities were at
once notified and also the father of
the foung man, ]. j. Carpenter.
In the absence of Coroner Hyatt,
Justice c. E. Florer acted as coroner
and in company with Undersheriff
Lehan, brought the bones and be-
longings to Gunnison.
Some bones from the skeleton are
missing, but enough to positively
identify it as Howard Carpenter were
found. His gun, watch, boots, and
some clothing which have resisted
the elements for nine years, bear
mute testimony to the tragedy. The
skull plainly shows what produced
death and in the inquest now being
held, is an important element to be
considered.
On Wednesday afternoon the in
quest over the remains was begun.
Attorney S. D. Crump of Denver,
is carefully watching every bit of
the testimony in the interests of the
family
The jury, composed of d. w. Davis,
H. H. Fogg, Robert Hards, S. ]. Mil
Ter, E. M. Collins, and Frank Stull, is
conceded to be an excellent one who
will give their best efforts to the rem
dition of verdict in accord with the
evidence.
There is not apparently question
of doubt that Howard Carpenter was
was shot from behind his back, the
ball passing through the skull low
down on the right side and ranging
slightly up passing out above the
right eye. Such a wound produced
as nearly instant death as is possible
from gunshot. The location of the
wound practically precludes the idea
that he shot himself by accident,
though his own rife had been fired.
The inquest was concluded and sub
mitted to the jury at 3:45 Thursday
afternoon and they speedily agreed
on the following verdict:
We the jury find that the death Of
diseased was brought about by a gun
shot wound in the back of the head,
same passing out at the front, and
said wound was inflicted by some
person to the jury unknown, and as
to whether said shot was felonious
or not we are unable to determine.
Signed by entire jury.

Is the Ouija Board Making
Mental Troubles in
Wnshi7gtOn?
By BILL PRICE.

Whether there is truth in statement that the ouiJa
board is adding patients to Washington asyiums
through disturbing influences upon District mentahties
students of mental phenomena will be interested In the
fact that the board takes its name from the French
word ou (yes) and the German word ia (yes). Its
origin is somewhat obscure. Both the planchette and
ouija, somewhat similar in appearance, date back to
about 1885, and for while were objects OF consider
able superstition. The planchette is small board
fitted with pencil and two casters, made to move
easily sheet of paper when the hands rest lightly
on it. The dictionary says the ouija sis form OF
panchette used in sprtualistic seances or the Ike
1t consists of two parts, board containing the al
phabet and other characters and planchette, with
a pointer substituted for the pencil"
Investigation of automatic writings fail to find that
the two boards have any origin in the mysticisms OF
Egypt. One writer is of the opinion that the first at
tempt in ouijang made by his wifes
breadboard. The skeptical refer to the board as
wholly modern trick affair which has connection
with Eastern other metaphysics
Some of the noted sprtualiss of the world make use
of the ouija planchette and carefully study the
results. An able group of psychologists regard the
ouija as a dangerous deception. Their theory is that
the subconscious mind of the operator directs the
fingers in such way to convey the information
hoped for The operator, they hold is as innocent of
this subconscious process sleep walker is of what
he is doing, and naturally puts supernatural con-
struction the outcome.
Leading spritualists and other believers in higher
agencies than natural ones, confident that communca
tion with the other world is not only established but
is developing into understanding that will glorfy
humanity are willing to accept the ouja board any
other method of transmission that will add to the in
formation they feel they now possess Those of ma
teral minds who deride all supernatural beliefs and
theories hold to the opinion that after every great
war there is wave of the occult in form, and
say that right the ouja board happens to be the
most popular made medium of bringing together
terrestrial sainds and celestial beings and thoughts
