ADVENTURES OF Those Who
TRAVEL RODS and BEAMS

Gone are the days of Nick Carter
and Diamond Dick, but the youths
who perused the paper-back accounts
of their adventures still carry on
or such, at least, is one Inference to
be drawn from the story of A. V. Lea,
oil Geologist, graduate of Leland
Stanford University, who Saturday
reached Pueblo via side-car sleeper
on his way from Breckenridge, Texas,
to Salt Lake City, Utah.
Lea came to the Pueblo police
headquarters to give the police a
description of a pair of "stick-up''
men. who made an unsuccessful
attempt to hold him up in a
box car aboard moving train,
Thursday evening. Lea described
his adventures at length. and told of
his escape from the gunner by n
headlons leap from the open door of
the box car. while the train was in
motion few minor changes, nee

tions of American civilization-in-
Guiding prohibition and the absence
of lndians.-alone mark his story as
being of today. and not of the seven
ties, when the west was yet untamed.
Lea, it seems, was in Utah at this
Il1llt last year, WORKING III the oll
fields there. He was called home
to breckenridge by law suit over
oil land. The suit went against him,
he states. and he is bound for Utah
again. determined to make a new
start in a new field. He has backing
in Texas. but decided that the future
health Of his bank roll made neces-
sary his seeking free transportation
to Salt Lake.
At II hotel in Amarillo. Texas, Lea
broke n twenty dollar bill. Unfor-
tunately for him, two of his com
panions of the road, en- route from
Breckenridge. saw the clerk give him
the change.
II had been talking to those fell
lows. that day. coming out of Breck-

they had been pulling some jobs
down in the oil fields. We had been

about dozen gunmen in the last
three months. These fellows claimed
to be headed for Colorado. where one
OF them claimed to have lady friends
who had agreed to stake them in

make tho moonshine: and the other
was going to peddle 1t. When we
got off at Amarillo. they started out
for the junGles. near the tracks, say

back with a revolver leveled at my
chest. He poked in into my breast

Big boy, you've stood us off long
enough. you've rode your last box

Friday, Lea came to Pueblo, and
notified police here of his adventure,

men. He has learned from inquiries
about the railroad yards that two men
answering his description have been
seen here, Saturday. A telephone call
to Trinidad informed him that the
men had not been captured there.
Lea has wired authorities at the
Colorado town the men mentioned to
him as their destination. He be-
licves he will be able to effect their
capture lt that place, altho he was
watching the railroad yards here

He is determined to get his men.

For the eastern type of beauty tho

to be worn extensively according to
