BUELL. CRAWFORD

Buell. Crawford one of the finest
and most popular young men of the
Western College at Gunnison, passed
away at the Salida Red Cross hospital
Monday afternoon, October l, 1923,
at the age of % years.
Buell. was born in Florence, Colo
RADIO, October l, 1901. He passed to
his eternal rest on the anniversary of
his natal day, one hour and twenty
minutes after the hour of his birth.
Buell. Crawford died from blood
poisoning. Some ten days ago he was
injured on the athletic field while in
foot ball practice. He was tackled
and thrown and in some unaccount-
able way his ankle was broken. The
bone protruded thru the flesh and the
INJURY was considered a bad one but
not thought dangerous. He was Civ
en- medical attention here and the
same evening was taken to the Salida
hospital. Blood poisoning had al
ready set in and it was found neces-
sary to amputate the limb 1t was
taken off just below the knee. How
ever, the poison had scattered and
from the first little or. no hope was
entertained for his recovery.
Buell. was beloved by everyone who
knew him. A fine, young man, clean,
upright and of sterling worth He
enjoyed the respect and esteem of all.
He was a second year student at
Western and here he was an outstand-
ing character among his associates.
A tall handsome youth, of splendid
physique and one of the best athletes
! in college.
The only child of Mr.. and Mrs. A
NJ Crawford, of Read, Colorado, the
blow to them is indeed very hard
The body was brought to Gunnison
Tuesday morning and the funeral was
held Wednesday morning from the
Community church, Rev. Geiser OF
the Episcopal church giving the rites
while Pres. Quigley delivered the me-
mortal service. Mr. Quigley loves all
his boys and was very fond of Buell.
His tribute to the memory of this
beloved student was indeed beautiful
and touching.
Mrs. Susie Miller had charge of the
funeral, which was one of the largest
ever held in Gunnison.
The floral offerings were many and
beautiful and gave testimony of the
high esteem and love in which de.
ceased was held The school attended

her into a dramatic star without
the exercise of much labor and
patience. He had sounded her
parents and they were utterly
opposed to her going on the
stage. And she. herself, he was
convinced, would never set their
authority at defiance. It seemed
wisest to pigeonhole the new play,
to sail away on the Buskin, and
trust to Providence to provide
him with new star.
Furthermore, there remained
of the new play only the stern
and difficult parts. And Hedden
was not the man to arrive at re-
suits by steady toll. He could,
upon an impulse, work all around
the clock; but he could not work
eight hours a day for a month.
Already the vivid newness Of
when My Ship Comes I'M had
worn off, so that his mind was
jaded with the subject. -
But the advent of Paul Henley
had acted upon him like strong
stimulant. For the leading mo-
tive of his life had been jealousy.
The mere fact Of something more
or less desirable being owned out
right by someone else had always
given him fierce desire to make
that very thing his own. by theft,
by barter, or even by hard work.
It was not alone the excellence of
Henley's play that had caused
him to steal it, it had seemed to
him pitiable that SO valuable a
property should belong to anyone
but himself.
And so with Silver Sands.

One day we were riding over
big ranch.
We were very thirsty and one
Of the party suggested that we
ride home by way of the alfalfa
patch and drink at the care
takers well.
You know deer love alfalfa,
don't you? Well, the man who
owned the big ranch was very
kind and thoughtful. He wanted
all the animals who lived on his
ranch to have good time. So he
just had this big field of alfalfa
planted away off there in the
mountains and paid a man to live
dreds of deer who live on the
ranch could eat alfalfa whenever
they wanted it.
Well, we stopped there The
caretaker was very glad to see
us. Sometimes he didn't see any
one to talk to for weeks. So we
were very welcome. He offered
us big glasses Of milk. How good
1t tasted!
AS we sat there talking to him,
I heard the tinkling of a bell. I
looked into the doorway OF his
house thinking cat would come
out. IBut-out came a beautiful
deer. 1t was he who had the bell
around his neck.
The ranCher said:
This is my partner. He's the
only company l have. But he
never leaves me-"
How did you find him." asked
Bobby.
Il found him one day when he
was a baby, lying in the woods.
He was hurt. l brought him home
and nursed him and he has al
ways lived here. He's very af.
fectionate."
lie didn't have to tell us that.
For / could see that the deer
loved the man and the man loved
the deer. The deer sided I'D to
the man and rubbed his warm
nose against the mans cheek.
The rancher put his arm around
his neck and stroked him.
Il suppose he'll run away some
day with one of the deers that
come to the alfalfa patch, won't
hep / asked.
NO." replied the rancher.
That's a strange thing. Several
times he has run out there when
the wild deer have been feeding.
