LOCAL HAPPENINGS

L. L. Wilkes, undertaken from Aspen,
was in Glenwood last week, en- route
from Denver where he had gone to
get his car which he drove to the
Western Slope.
The Women's Home Missionary So
ciety of the Methodist church will
meet next Wednesday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. Olive Duffy on South
Grand avenue.
The weather the past week has been
peculiar, to say the least, snow falling
to depth of several inches in Denver,
Deadville and other communities, while
in Garfield county there was a heavy
cold rain which has added much need
ed moisture, but which has served to
greatly lower the temperature and
caused us to wonder when we will be
on speaking terms with the good old
summer time.
Owing to a rush of job and adver-
tising business The Post is a little
late in its issue this week, but we just
can't help it, and must ask our read
ers to be as patient with us as pos
sible. We appreciate this fine busi-
ness and are making every effort pos
sible to take care Of it, much as We
regret the necessity of disappointing
our readers who look forward anxious
ly to the coming Of the paper at \
certain time each week.

which the latter planned to close tho
wagon road across their land leading
to the Marion mine, has been settled
in amicable manner, the Walds agree
ing to permit the continuance of the
roadway if the county will fence the
same. Inasmuch as the Marion mine
is the resource Of large quantity Of
the best coal used in Glenwood, the
pleasant termination Of the contro-
versy will be welcomed by our citi-
zens.

seventh and eighth grades Of the dif-
ferent schools of the county came to
Glenwood last Saturday to participate

something new in the schools, but it Is
believed it will become an annual
event at which time both the rural
and town schools of the county will
meet together, compete in the con-
tests and athletic events and enjoy 3
picnic lunch together.
Following is list Of the winners

County Record Proves Entire Board
Acted as a Unit in Dismissing
Shee|y Lacy Bridge Case
ECHOES OTHER ADMINISTRATION

In the issue of the Rifle Telegram
of May 8, G. W. Taylor of Glenwood
Springs, former county attorney, made
some severe structures against two Of
the members of the board of county
commissioners, Messrs. Coulter and
Higgins, and, as these gentlemen claim,
made some statements which are not
borne out by the facts nor by the
county records.
Referring to the dismissal of the
action brought by the board in 1915
against C. G.. Shelley and his bonds
men to recover for defective work on
the part of Shelley in the construction
o. the Lacy Bridge across the Colorado
.Grondl river, Mr.. Taylor seeks to
make it appear that the resolution or
dering the dismissal of the action
pending in the supreme court was al
together the work of Commissioners
Coulter and Higgins and was opposed
by Commissioner Heuschkel, and this
IL not the fact and not in accordance
with the county records.
Furthermore, these gentlement say
that the Shelley case itself was not
before the supreme court, but only
motion for new trial, and if this mo-
tion had been sustained it would have
necessitated retrial of the whole
case from start to finish, with all the
heavy expense to the taxpayers dupli-
Gated, and with no assurance whatever
of winning the case.
But the records Of the boards trans !,
actions are the best evidence that the
gentlemen were misrepresented by Mr..
Taylor, and the following resolutions,
prepared by County Attorney Dollison,
and introduced in the board meeting
of March Z, 1923, by Commissioner
Heuschkel, speak for themselves in
refutation Of Mr.. Taylor statements:
Commissioner John L. Heuschkel
made motion. that the following reso-
lutions be adopted. Commissioner 2.
B. Higgins seconded the motion.
Vote taken, resulted as follows:
Ayes, Commissioners Higgins
Heuschkel and Coulter.
Nays, Commissioners-None.
Therefore, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
RESOLUTION
Whereas, There was passed and
adopted by the Board Of County Com
missioners of Garfield County, Colo
RADIO on the 9th day of January, 1923,
certain resolution appearing on the
minutes of the proceedings Of said
Board of Commissioners in Book E at

Whereas, Said resolution was not
J prepared by the Attorney for said
county, nor submitted, to him for ex-
animation, prior to its adoption by
said Board; and
Whereas, Said resolution contains
erroneous statements as well as other
matters which are improperly incor-
porated in said resolution, which said
Board inadvertently overlooked at the
time when said resolution was adopted;
Now, Therefore, on motion of Com
missioner Heuschkel,
Be It Resolved, BY the Board OF
County Commissioners Of Garfield
County, Colorado, that the resolution

Whereas, The said cause has been

tion and that on account Of the ex-
pense of said litigation and the ex-
penses which may yet be incurred in

and the tax payers thereof, that said
cause be dismissed and the writ of
error heretofore granted by the su-
preme Court, be discharged,
Now, Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, By
the Board Of County Commissioners of
Garfield County, that J. W. Dollison,
County Attorney of Garfield County,

ciate counsel for the said Board of
County Commissioners of said Garfield

Rio Grande ShopInen Vote to
Return and on Terms Ar
ranged by Mediator
new MEN WILL STAY

Denver, May 14.-Tweive hundred
members Of the striking shop crafts
unions employed on the Denver & Rio
Grande Western railroad last week
voted overwhelmingly in favor Of end
ing the strike, Attorney General Rus
sci Fleming of Colorado, who with
John J. Tobin, state senator from
Montrose county acted as mediators,
announced Saturday.
Mr.. Fleming announced the decision
of the strikers to Joseph E. Young of
Denver, receiver of the railroad, in a
letter in which he said that the rail-
road would be expected to enter into
an informal agreement of the shop
crafts union governing conditions of
unemployment, seniority, passes and
other privileges. The conditions were
outlined in letter and the return of
the men who have been on strike since
last August is to begin when the rail
road announces its adoption of the
stipulations under which the men vot-
ed to end the strike. The vote to ter
inmate the walk-out was $40 to s79.
AS a result the company is expected
to re-employ the man as their services
are needed under present rules and will
be given jobs according to the SEN
iority formerly existing between them
selves" They must, however, agree
to the existing contracts with shop
employees and the status Of new work
ers is not to be molested.,
The shop crafts members are to be
given preference above all Others ask
ing for unemployment, are restored to
past and pension privileges and are to
be restored to the payrolls without ref
erence to age conditions which might
have disturbed their status during the
period of the walk-out.
Negotiations were under way about
one month, Mr.. Fleming said.
W. W. Lemen, superintendent of mo-
tive power Of the D. & R. G. w. rail
road, was on the Western Slope when
the vote to end the strike was taken,
and was interviewed on the subject
by the Grand Junction Daily News.
Mr.. Lemen stated that the company
had taken no action whatsoever in the
matter, that it had not been officially
put up to Receiver Young. When
shown the dispatch that the shop
crafts had voted to end the strike, he
said that the basis reported therein on
which the strike would be settled was
| lust what the railroad had always
claimed it would be willing to grant
to the strikers. There has been no
change in the attitude of the company
toward its former employees than what
was contained in the official statement
made by Receiver Young short time
after the strike was called. He then
made it plain there would be no rec
ognition Of the Federated Shop Crafts
as a part Of the American Federation
Of Labor; that any men who came back
to work must do 50 as individuals and
~ vacancies occur; that they must

afternoon prevented the soccer con
test between the strong Metuchen
representative team and the East
Jersey League leading combination
from Bloomfield, which was sched-
uled for the Raritan Copper Works
field, the home grounds of the brainy
borough "~kiekers."
An interesting game was antici-
pated inasmuch as the boroughites
have been travelling at a good pace
recently and they were counting on
knocking off the league leaders.
Bloomfield boasts of having one of
the strongest soccer teams in this
section of the country and had a
good hold on first place in the East
Jersey circuit.
Tomorrow afternoon the Metuchen
eleven will have another strong OPP
ponent to take on, the Plaintield
combination, and this game will be
played on the Queen City Held.
Plainfeld is another n of the lead
ing c~ontenders for the East Jersey
title.
In addition to the Metuchen,

Gossip going the rounds in base
ball circles as a result Of the tearing
down of the Raritan Copper Works

has brought the great diamond sport

TO some persons the destruction
of the fence was taken as the pass
ing of enclosed field baseball for this
city, but an Investigation has re-
vealed that this work is another Sec
ton of the program i'm connection
with the railroad elimination.
As fas as is known, the contractor
in charge of the rev sewer system

fence along the same fashion as it
was when the work started. There

CHAMPIONS HERE FOR BIG HOLIDAY COMES
LOCaI Boxing MagnateS
Prep airing Program for
Big EStiC Comeback

Jack Mcfarland. of Elizabeth,
George Young Erne of Buffalo,
and Sailor Jack Richie, of Newark,
may never fight again, at least as
long as the National Sport Club is
the boxing organization of this
Paeemaking City, it has been made
known.
Mcfarland has been indefinitely
suspended by a representative of the
commissioner and his case will be
disposed of at the next session of
the state boxing authorities. 1t is
probable that the Buffalo fighters
ease will also be brought before the
directors at this time as well as
that of Richie.
First of all Erne was not down to
the weight stipulated in his contract
for the fight at the Auditorium last
Thursday night and as he was eight
hounds overweight Mcfarland re-
fused to fight him. Mcfarland went
on with the Newark boxer and as
the Betsytown lad had a bout in his
home the next night he did not de-
liver his best. Ritchie with an in
jured hand apparently was not de-
sirous of doing a great deal and
Referee Joseph McNulty stopped the
go in the second round. The reason
nouncer made known, was the fact
that Mcfarland was not doing his
best.
A representative of the local club
went to Trenton the next day and
brought the matter before the box
ing authorities there. As n result of
the conference which was attended
by McFarland's manager, Johnny
Antilles. the boxer was indefinitely
suspended, and the manager and
fighter are to part.
