Winter Sports High Up in the Rockies

ESTES PARK, COLO.-A carnival
r, of winter sports 1850 feet up in
the Rockies, 40 miles from a rail-
road! That's what the Rocky Noun
tain National park sees every .Febru-
airy. when the snow is deepest. Says
Roger W. Toll, superintendent of the
park:
Fern lake, II miles from the Estes
park entrance, combines so many adj
vantages-that of accessibility, heavy
snowfall, scenic beauty and eomforta-
BILE shelter-.that it is bound to become
increasingly popular. gThe place is a
natural playground. The depth OF
snow covers all fallen logs and other
irregularities in the surface of the
ground, and makes an, ideal condition
for snowshoeing, skiing and toboggan-
ing. The lake itself is in beautiful

was Barney Logan, local hack driver.
The pair was taken into custody. On
learning of the deception Judge Lux
ford set aside the adoption. The young
woman was taken to the district attOr-
ney's office, where she repeatedly
threatened suicide and tainted before
she was taken to Jail.
Mrs. Sullivan's motive, according to
the Juvenile court authorities was
that she wished to practice an impo-
sition upon her husband, George Ma
rion Sullivan, st. Louis, from whom
she has been divorced. According to
this story, she was awarded alimony
for herself and child, and was com
PEELED to produce a child to collect
the alimOny.
The woman, whose name may or
may not be Sullivan, denies having
been divorced, and says that her only
idea in adopting the child was to
please her husband, because of his
fondness for children.
II had written him recently telling
him I was to become a mother. and
had to obtain a child to prevent him
from knowing l He'd" she said.
Her chief anxiety is lest her parents
at Bloom. Ala, should learn of her
predicament.
