Mrs. Elizabeth Watson Passes Away
Very Suddenly
BY RUBY E. CORUM


1t is with deepest sorrow and re-
gret that we chronicle the passing
of one of our dear old friends.
Grandma Watson on Monday noon,
April 2, 1923, passed peacefully and
quietly to that other land from
whence no wanderer returns. Death
came very Unexpectedly, as Grand
ma had been in her usual health.
Only few minutes before her pass
ing she had been waving happy
greeting from the back door of her
home to her friend, Mrs. Robt. Hards.
She told her daughters, Mrs. Jane
Walch and Mrs. Mary Webb, that she
was going to rest awhile and perhaps
take nap. Tenderly the girls helped
their mother to her bed, and had
barely placed her there when the end
came. A slight stroke seemed to
come and the heart ceased to func-
tion. Without pain or struggle
the beautiful spirit left the tired
body and Dear Grandma Watson was
no more.
Elizabeth McFarlaine was born in
Wishaw, Scotland, December %, 1887.
She grew up there and on March 12,
1855, she was married to James Wat
son. Only a few years later the
couple came to America. About forty
years ago they came to Gunnison
county and were residents of Bald
win for many years.
Six children were born of their
union, five of whom survive They
are Mrs. Janette Walsh, Mrs. Mary
Webb of Gunnison; Jos. Watson of
Louisville; VIM. Watson of Durango;
and George Watson of Gunnison. All
were present at the funeral. The
Youngest boy, Jas. Watson, Jr., died
December 20, 1898, at Baldwin. The

Charley Hughes, popular local
athlete, played a prominent part In
the successful showing made by the
st. Benedict Prep school team of
Newark against the Peddie Prep
school eleven of IIightstown, at
Newark, on Saturday afternoon. The
two teams battled to a scoreless tie
on this occasion.
The state prep school football title
was at stake in this encounter and
the Peddie team was somewhat of a
slight favorite on account of a big
weight advantage. The Fewarkers,
however, more than maze up for
the weight advantage through their
"never-give-up' spirit.
It was one of the best school
battles fought In this state this sea-
son, and a record crowd was in at
tendance. Holding the heevy Nights
town representatives scoreless could
be counted practically rs a victory
for the home team.
Hughes occupied an end position
for the Newark eleven, and although
suffering from injuries received in
former games, played an excel mt
contest. The for11er local high
school star also is a member of the
representative basketball team of
the prep school.
Hughes made a great record In
athletics while at the local school.

LORD CECIL URGES u. S.
JOIN LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Former Governor of Kansas. Re
plying to London Speech,
Sees Time Unripe.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. June 2.-Lord Robert
Cecil, in the first speech he has made
since he became a member of the
British cabinet, last night made an
eloquent plea to the United States
before the English-speaking Union
to join the league of nations.
Henry J. Allen. former Governor
of Kansas, who followed Lord Rob-
ert, explained some of the reasons
why the United States could not join
the league. One of the principal rea-
sons, he said. was that the American
people had not yet developed an in
ternational mind and still were sus-
picious Of some of the motives of
European countries.
The addresses were delivered at a
banquet, which was attended by 400
prominent Britishers and Americans.
Lord Robert Cecil, after declaring he
had found widespread sentiment
throughout the United States during
his recent visit there in favor of the
league of nations, said many Ameri-
cans doubted the pacific intentions
of the European states. He sounded
warning that in many parts of the
world warlike symptoms were de-
veloping, which were profoundly dis
Quieting.

the jailers who speak of him with
respect.
Frau Krupp, who seems to be ill as
the result of the recent strain, lives
In a part Of the Krupp villa at
Bredeny, near Essen, the other part
having been requisitioned by the
French
The charge under which Krupp and
the other directors were sentenced to
terms in prison of from ten to twenty
years was conspiracy to commit acts
endangering the public order under
the French occupation-acts which
actually led to the shooting of Krupp
workmen by French troops in self
defense.
Germans generally believe that the
baron will be released as soon as the
French come to an agreement con-
corning the Ruhr. Meanwhile Krupp
lives under the mitigated regime OF
the ordinary jailbird.
