them. Anxiety was breaking her
heart.
Mr.. Dale" she pleaded, II want you

Dale knew that he could do nothing
toward bringing peace, and he knew
that John Moreland would be angry
mt his interfering. But he nodded and
went toward the river. lie didn't have
the heart in him to refuse.
Theu there came the keen thunder Of
rifle shot.
Dale halted for a moment. Between
two sycamores on the nearer side OK
the river he saw Il puff Of smoke rls-
Ing laztly from behind Il water oak on
the farther side; Littleford had fired
first. Dale went on, moving rapidly
and trying to keep himself always in
plain view.
Then came a puff OF white smoke
and report from one of the More
land rifles, then shots from both sides
- and the battle was on. Dale heard
the nasty whine OF bullet in full
flight; he heard the coarse ''zzz'' of a
half-Spent ricochet. He knew that he
was In some dan ger now, and he was
surprised to find that he was not
frightened.
When he halted again it was on his
knees behind the big white sycamore
that sheltered John Moreland.

The mountaineer turned his gaze
over Dale's shoulder, and his counte-

around quickly and saw Babe Little

grasses and weeds. In one hand she

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

The Cadets were taken by their Of
ficers to City Park last Saturday,
where they spent pleasant and
strenuous day. They came back in the
afternoon tired but happy.
The older boys have taken advan-
tage of the weeks holiday to get in
some good baseball work. They played
nearly every afternoon this week, and
won some and lost some. That is life.
On Tuesday evening many of the
checker players took cold feet, and
failed to show up. They had heard
that there were going to be some "stiff
players" on hand, and were afraid to
try them. During the course of the
evening Bell beat Bradshaw, shutting
him completely out, with the exception
of one game. And then Bradshaw, as
If in revenge for the flogging he had
received, turned about and got one
game on Hervey, after they had played
half dozen draws. The games will
be continued next Tuesday evening,
and will be open to any player.
In spite of everything that was go
ing on last Sunday afternoon, the meet
ing turned out to be good one. Prof.
J. A. Jeancon, curator of the State
Museum, gave most intensely illus
trated lecture ON prehistoric Colo
rado."
The program tomorrow (Sunday)
afternoon will be in keeping with Palm
Sunday. Good music has been pre-
pared, and good program will be rem
ly at o'clock All will be welcome.

PASSES AWAY.

Basil Hill, popular citizen of Denver
for several years, passed into the Great
Beyond Friday of last week at his late
residence, 2041 Stout street, after
period of life extending over eighty
years. Born in st. Adams county,
Vermont and spending fair portion

where he was very successful for many
wears. The deceased was very well
thought of and filled the position of
manager of the Stockmen's Club for
long time making it possible for our
people to make comfortable living.
Mr.. Hill was a member of the Catholic
faith. being associated with the Holy
GhostChurch of Denver. The funeral
services were held at the parlors of the
Douglass Undertaking Co. last Mon
day, 8 p. m, and conducted by Father
Neenan. A goodly number of friends
paid their last respects to the deceased
and were very much impressed with
the ritualistic service and address OF
the priest. Floral offerings were beau
tiful. Interment at Mount Olivet GEM

MR.. AND MRS. SHIRLEY LiGGiNS
HONORED ON 25TH MARRIAGE
ANNIVERSARY.

BY a neatly contrived plan Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas Burns of 1S47 Marion street
dug up the secret of the 25th marriage
anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs. Shirley
Liggins on last Saturday and called
in few intimate friends for real old
fashioned surprise. Mr.. and Mrs Lig-
gins have made many valued friends
in the short time they have been Den
yer residents and the beautiful anni-
versary party arranged by Mr. and
Mrs. Burns was most fitting testi-
monial. An elegent lunch was served
and a silver token presented to each
of the guests of honor 1t was an even
ing crowded with pleasure.

COLORADO SPELLING AND ORA
TORY CONTEST.

The state contest for spelling and
oratory being conducted in the Capt.
tol building this week and embracing
schools from nearly every county in
the state, brought to Denver Miss
Youra Thelma Qualls, young colored
girl of IL years of age, who is verita
BILE marvel. Miss Youra is twin and
was tied with her sister, Miss Ina
Thotsis Qualls for first place in the
Alamosa county contest.
In the state contest for spelling she
gained third place with the high aver
age of 9S over field of fifty-one con-
testants. She was accompanied by her
mother, Mrs. Qualls, who is very proud
of her talented daughter, as are all
Denver members of the race. 1t is
pleasing to announce that Miss Qualls
shared equally and without the shadow
of difference in the many social func-
tions and pleasures arranged for the
visiting pupils. They were the guests
of Mr. and Mrs. Chas Martin while in
the city.

THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH.
David E. Over, Minister.

The past Sunday Zion was visited
by the Rev. /. Harrison Wallace of
Trinidad. Rev. Wallace gave to the
congregation a splendid sermon. For
merly an active member of and or
dained by our church, it is quite nat
ural that we take delight in the sue
cess of Zion's former Sunday School
superintendent.
Deacon Jerry Bates was buried from
the church last Monday afternoon.
Brother Bates was one of the most
faithful and loyal of Zion's members
and consequently his departing will be
felt. His widow has the sympathy of
all the community.
Special preparations are in the max
ing to properly celebrate the Easter
season. The Sunday School will render
children's program which, it is hoped,
all the parents and other adults VIII
witness. The choir is preparing spe-
cial music for the morning service.
The pastor will preach from the sub
ject, "Our Easter Hope" All are well

OLD CITIZENS OF IDAHO

FINAL CALL.

These words can be well applied to
John II. Brushwood and his wife Laura
Jane Brushwood, who lived for ninety
eight and seventy-two years respective
ly, and who died within week of
each other, the wife having passed
away last week Monday and the hus-
band Monday of this week.
For forty-two years these highly re-
spected citizens were domiciled at
Idaho Springs and won the respect and
admiration of all the residents in this
part of the state that was once very
prominent In the gold production of
Colorado. The funeral services were
held at Calvary Episcopal Church,
Thursday. March 80, for Mrs. Brush
wood, and during the week for Mr..
Brushwood. The Rev. Smith priest in
charge, performed the ceremonies and
offered very commendable remarks on
the life work of these two sanity char
acters which brought consolation to
the relatives and numerous friends who
gathered to pay their last respects.
The bells were tolled out of respect
to the memory of the deceased, while
Resolutions were read from the Uni

ton, of which they were members.
The floral offerings were rare and
beautiful. Four sons, George, John,
Clement, Hubert Brushwood, and
daughter, Mrs. Bertha Jones, were

April Meeting of the
Denver COIOre d
Civic Association
Reaches High Mark

Hon. Robin II. Davis, president of
the Denver Civic and Commercial AS
sociation, was the principal speaker at
a meeting of the Denver Colored Civic
Association Wednesday night last that
in many respects was the greatest in
its history. Coming before the Colored
body for the first time since he as
sumed the reigns of authority over the
Denver Civic and Commercial Associa-
ton, President Davis appeared easily
should have been heard by every Ne
gro citizen of Denver. He adopted as
his theme the three words adopted as
motto by the Colored association,
viz: Determination, Cooperation and
Education. His address was scholarly
throughout and gave ample evidence
that the right man was at the helm of
Denver's civic affairs. He was ac-
corded the closest attention and was
given an ovation at the close of his
address. Maj. Thos. Campbell, presi
dent of the Colored Civic Association,
then read a list of the standing COM
mittees for the year 1922, and gave a
brief outline of the general work and
plans held in contemplation. Mr.. o.
L. Jackson, founder of the Dearfield
colony, and a man recognized as a Col
orado builder, was the next speaker,
and his address was accorded a treat
nv all DraSpnt leoniup ratbar- stroDply
too much so, in fact, toward political
issues. Still Mr.. Jackson offered sage
and timely advice, as well as pointing
way to the solution of many prob
lens now considered insurmountable
by us. The Dearfield colony is sue
cess and to o. T. Jackson more than
to any other single factor can this be
attributed. Following Mr.. Jackson's
address Lieut.. George Hamilton, a
Senior in the law school of Kansas
University, and a relative of our own
attorney S. u. Cary, was introduced
and made a short but very inspiring
address. Lieut. Hamilton represented
Kansas University in an inter-colle-
at Boulder Monday night, and the
Kansas team won. He is very bril-
liant young man and President Camp
bell voiced the sentiments of every
one present in expressing regret that
the association had not more signally
honored his presence in Denver.
Messrs. Bowen and Harris, two young
Colored men who have invented an
| airplane, appeared before the body
and after an explanation of their pro-
| ject were given a neat sum as finan-
cial recognition of their inventive gen
ius. After voting $40 to Anti-Lynching
fund the Denver branch N. A. A. C. P.
the most successful monthly meeting
of the Denver Colored Civic Associa-
ton came to a close. The hall was lit
orally packed with visitors and mem
bers
