20 TIME BOMBS
ARE EXPLODED;
CITY TERRIFIED
Blasts Occur in Rail
Stockade; No One
Hurt.

San Bernadino. Cal, Aug. 11.-(By
The Associated Press.)-Twenty time
bombs exploded at intervals from 100
to 3 O'Clock Friday morning within
the stockade of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe within 200 feet of the
cOmpany's rOundhOuSe, according to
the sheriff's office. The bombs were
buried in the ground and in explod-
ing did no damage except for blowing
much earth into the air, it was said.
None of the guard or duty was hurt.
One reported his hat blown off.
More explosions were expected
~momentarily and no one was allowed
in the. stockade Friday morning.
Deputy United States Marshal
Albertson was seriously burned when
a bomb exploded in his hands shortly
after the explosion of the 20 bombs.
Explosion of the bombs created
terror in the vicinity of the shops,
hurting fragments several hundred
feet. The bombs were of cast iron
pile elbows filled with a white powder
and, according to Investigators. were
apparently thrown into the stockade.
1t was thought at first that the
bombs were thrown into the stockade
from a passing automobile. but ex-
plOsions occurring at intervals led
Investigators to believe that the
bombs had been previously planted.
The belief that the explosions were
caused from high powered caps and
not bombs, was expressed by United
States Marshal Greenwood. He also
was of the opinion, he said, that the
explosions were intended not to do
any material damage, but to brighten
men at work in nearby shops.
A high voltage power line of the
Southern California Edison company
was broken just as one Of the ex-
plosions occurred and the wire, on
striking the ground. sent huge flames
into the air. Breaking of the line
caused the lighting system OF the city
to become grounded and the city was
in darkness for more than an hour.

Death Claims Another Of Our Old
Time Friends
By RUBY p. CORUM


On Saturday, February IS, 1922, at
$3.50 o'clock at Alamosa occurred the
death of R. r. Williams, after am ill
ness of several months Mr.. Williams
had been ill most of the time since
early fall and winter, but his condi-
tion was not considered especially SER
ious and nb' concern was felt until
some ten days ago, when message
came to his son. E. R. Williams, that
his father was failing fast. Ned left
at once for. his, fathers bedside, re-
manning there until the end.
Bob Williams was very we'll known
all ovtr Coipfado, as he came to the
state in the early sixties, and associ-
ates of those days, who survive him,
remember him with pleasure, and a
warm spot dwells in the hearts of
those old time comrades and friends.
In the early seventies he arrived in
the Leadville district, and from there
eventually drifted into Pitkin. 1t was
at Leadville that he became associat-
ed with the engineering corps that
was surveying the Colorado & South
ern railroad from Denver through
South Park and over the crest of the
continent to the Western Slope. And
for many years thereafter Mr.. Will
lliams was with the engineers who
founded the roads and trails and
paths that now mark the public high
ways of the state. About a year ago
in talking to the writer, Mr. Williams
drifted onto the topic nearest his
heart, that of road building. and es-
pecially his hobby, highway over
Williams Pass connecting Pitkin with
the Eastern Slope. This grade he sur
veyed many years ago and knew al
most every inch of the ground. Dur
ing this conversation Mr. Williams
spoke of his. early life among the
Rockies and said that he doubted that
there was pass between Mexico and
Canada that he, had not surveyed or
assisted in the work He talked well
and interestingly of those early days.
r. X. Williams was born in Racine,
Wisconsin. June Is, 1S45, so was near
ing his ,77th milestone. His parents
were William and Mary Williams, who
came to America from Wales in 1S43
He was married in 1880 to Miss Anna
M. Hill, at Concord, New Hampshire
The family came to Pitkin to reside
in 1882 and this town has since been
the family home. Mrs. Williams died
nine years ago on February H.
Soon after coming to Pitkin in 'S2,
Mr.. Williams opened up grocery
and general store, and this store is
still in existence, being now operated
by the son. About 1887 the Pitkin
Bank was taken over by the R. R.
Williams company.
Mr.. Williams was lifelong and ar
dent republican. He was at one time
on the state ticket for state treasurer

"1'here is No Death

There is no death! The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine forevermore.
There is no death! The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer
showers
To golden grain or mellowed fruit,
Or rainbow-tint flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize,
And feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life,
From out the viewless air.
There is no deathl The leaves may fall,
And flowers may fade and pass
away;
they only wait through wintry hours,
The coming of the May.
There is no DEATH An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent
tread;
He hears our best loved things away;
And then we called them dead"
4e leaves our hearts all desolate,
He plucks our fairest, sweetest
flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose joyous
tones,
Made glad these scenes of sin and
strife,
Sings now an everlasting song,
Around the tree of life.
Where'er he sees a smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for taint and
vice,
He hears it to that world of light,
To dwell in paradise
Born unto that undying life,
They leave US but to come again;
With joy we welcome them the same
Except their sin and pain.
And ever near US, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;

In April 1920 he was married to
Mrs. Mae Allison, who survives him.
She has indeed been most devoted
helpmeet and all that loving care
could do was done by her and the de-
voted son. But having passed mans
allotted time, the end could not be
denied
The remains were taken to Denver
and inferred in Fairmount cemetery
where there is family lot and where
sleep his daughter and first wife. The
funeral was held Tuesday morning
at ST. Stephens Episcopal church;
where. Rev. R. H. O'Malley, an old
time friend, preached beautiful
and comforting sermon. Many Pitkin
and Gunnison people were in atten-
dance and the floral offerings were
many and beautiful. The pail bearers
were: R. r. and r. C. Williams, Chas.
Eggert, C. w. Winslow, John R. Sapp,
and Ed Williams
Thus has passed to his reward an
other of the rugged pioneers and
builders of the state. One who has
endured many hardships that fu-
ture generation might enjoy the
fruits of his work, his endurance, and
his courage.
Mr.. Williams was highly honored
and esteemed and in business circles
his reputation and credit were ster

was kind, devoted husband, a loving,
