A FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT

Report came In Sunday cveulna
that two had been killed In an autG
wreck OIL the Government Road but
latter reports were to the effect that
only one was killed and two tAdiy
hurt.
The wreck happened Just this aide
OF the divide about mile frOis. the
Rio BlancO Hotel. Four young men
from GlenwoOd were speeding dswn
this side OF the Divide in Buick
roadster when they lost control Of
their car. running OF the road and
hitting u culvcrt and the bank. The
car which was travelling at high
rate of speed. stopped NO suddenly
TINT one man was thrown through the
wind shield. He was cut wide open
the full length Of his body and dae,l
Iy hurt.
The cause of the whole accident was
due however to trying to mix gasoline
with moonshine which doesn't mix.
All four where intoxicated when they
left Rifle and when the accident hap
pened they were unable to realize
what had happened to one Of the
crowd. While every one feels sorry
for the deceased It should act as
lesson to young fellows driving while
under influence Of liquor. Who the
young man was that got killed, We do
not know other than he was from
GlcnwOod Springs.

to get behind our boys and encourage
them SO they cnn make fine score

Give them little pushing and help
them win the football for the rest Of

The following excerpts from the
Ieadville Herald Democrats account
of the trial of the case and the fight
now on between the city and the
liquor interests. will prove equally In
teresting:

bootleggers who are attempting to

plan to extract revenue from their
business, was made In police court
last night. when Magistrate Joseph
W Clarke. assessing a fine of 300

non, said:
"If some one is putting you up 10

Magistrate Clarke instructed Mar
shal Dan McEachern to hold the pit
cher containing liquor found behind
the bar In Germon's place at 300 Har
rison avenue. pending the action Of
the district attorney and the federal
district attorney, whom he said. he
would notify concerning the case to

"Who were these others that want

The case of Germon is understood
to have grown out Of his refusal to

said to bring the city an annual rev.

Insight.

Find a man whose words paint you
a likeness, you have found a man
worth something; mark his manner of
doing it, as very characteristic of him.
In the first place, he could not have
discerned the object at all, or seen the
vital type of it, unless he had, what
we may call, sympathized with it
had sympathy in him to bestow on OBJ
jects. 1t is his faculty, the man of
a business faculty, that he discern the
true likeness, not the false, superficial
one, of the thing he has got to work
In. And how much of mortality is in
the kind of insight we get of anything

brought with it the faculty of seeing"
