ANOTHER OLD TIMER GONE

Once again we are called upon to
chronicle the passing of one of our
sturdy pioneers. This time the call
came to Ira L. Sigman of Crested
Butte, death occurring on Monday,
October l6, 1922, at his home after a
lingering illness, dating from April
1st last, when he was injured while
coming home from trip to Montrose.
He was riding on the "a. & r. G.
train when one of the heavy lamps
hanging over head, fell, striking him
on the head and rendering him uncon-
scious. 1t was thought for time by
those on the train that he was dead,
but he was finally revived and taken
by the railroad officials to Salida and
given treatment. He returned in a
few days to his home, feeling better,
but he never recovered and has failed
steadily all though the summer,
About two weeks ago he sank into a
state of coma and never regained
consciousness.
Ira l.. Sigman was New Yorker by
birth, having been born in that state
seventy-two years ago last August IL.
He came to Crested Butte in the
spring of 1880 and with the exception
of few short absences, has been a
resident of that city ever since.
Mr.. Sigman for many years fol-
lowed the timber business, and ran a
saw mill near Crested Butte. He was
man of sterling qualities, honest
and honorable in all his dealings. He
had kindly bearing. was home low
ing, a devoted father and husband.
He was married sixteen years ago
to Miss Kate Kunze, the ceremony
being performed in Wyoming. One
child, SON. has blessed this union.
Funeral services under direc tion Of
Undertaken Adams of Gunnison, were
held Thursday, Rev. Watt preaching
the sermon. Interment was at Crest
ed Butte.
Mr.. Sigman had host of friends
and all join the Empire in extending
to the widow and son most sincere
sympathy in their sad loss.

"CARDIGAN"

cardigan" tells the most thrill
ing tale of the most wonderful thing
that ever happened in American His
tory. 1t is taken from the we'll
known historical novel by Robert W.
Chambers, Americas favorite novel
list and was made on the exact spots
where history was made. Through
out the picture runs a live love story
and there are thrills from beginning
to end. Historically, it is considered
the most accurate reproduction of
the days preceding the American
Revolution. Better film committees
all over the country have endorsed
this picture as being one which every
cleanminded and patriotic American
citizen should see. The American
Legion will show this great picture
at the Municipal Theatre on Tues
day and Wednesday, October 3rd and
4th. In addition to this great pic
ture, two other films will be shown
"The Battle of Jutland," taken from
the battle fought in the World War

Stirring Services.

The services at the First Congrega-

were of a stirring and thought pro-
voking nature. Billy Wilson, an
honest to goodness" railroad en-
gineer Of Milwaukee occupied the
pulpit and in his address con the
Need of the Hour" held the atten-
ton of the large congregation in a
truly mastery manner as he brought
home to them in simple but graphic
language, the fact and truth that the
need Of the hour was more love to
God and faith in Christ. 1t was a
telling message from an unusual
source and Mineral Point will always
welcome Billy Wilson. Thirty three
years ago, Mr.. Wilson was a fireman
out Of this city on trains of which
our esteemed townsman, P. Whalen
was the engineer This was Mr.. Will

From the angels we learn order,

learn the different orders and de-
