A STORY OF AN EARLY.DAY
WEDDING IN GUNNISON
by Agnes Walker Frye)

We'll, it amt . very long story. nur
SO turible excitin' either. They wasn't
no shootin' or KILN; things was purity
1Eceahle like, but---with q reminiscent
chuclie TINT augured well for an answ-
er TO our clamor for story-"it was
q fine one on the old man." Here ne
stopped again to chuckle about it, and
we had to remind him that we wanted
to enjoy it, too.
We'll, It was this way, Jim Kelly
nan sot his heart on marryin' old AL
bert Tinglcy's girl, Annie, and old AL.
bert had sot his heart agin II, SO there
they was. Her ma was in favor OF il,
but no word of hers was ever knowed
70 move the cantankerOus old hypo.
cf1te. He was agin the match for no
special reason, jest on general prin-
ciple.
"The Tingley family came to Gun.
nison afore there was hardly any peo-
pie here. They lived in dugout not
very fur from the place where George
Anderson's house now stands.
Well, sir, Annie wasn't 10 awfu,
purity, but she was sweet an quiet an
pleasant and had brown hair and ewes,
ana Jim thought she took the cake.
u course, all the young bucks was in
sympathy with this Romeo Jim, SO
they got together to fix things UP.
Seems the old man had q decided hank
erin for rum, so the boys went out to
the old mans place one night with g
team and sleigh, tanked up Old Albert
up good and tight and Kidnapped tho
girl They drove into town in high
giee and went down to the Double
Cabin"
Here we interrupted him: "What
double cabin :" we asked.
"Oh, it was big old cabin that
stood near where the electric light
plant Is now, q sort o. stopping ana
consorting place for hunters, trappers,
miners and sech. Well, then, they had
70 get . justice Of the peace to marry
EN-, 70 old Stubbs-you know the one
Stubs gulch was named after-ha
was appointed justice and the cere-
mony was. performed ut the Double
Cabin. Charlie Biebel and Lon Hart
man were In that bunch, remember,
(chuckle) quite some fellers, them
two. Mr.. an Mrs. Kelly then took
up house keeping in a log house where
one part was the first store and post
office in Cunnison, and the other was
apartments for Twin in. Hartman
and Kelly ran the store an post
office.
"Well, Annie didn't live very long
afterwards and the romance was over.
Most everythin' is changed now, Just
a few landmarks left-my!-my!"
We left him alone with his memo
ries, his face turned toward the
past, half-sad, half-smiling light in
his faded eyes.
And SO ended the chronicle of the
first wedding in Gunnison.

HEARING MON
DAY ON MERGER

On next Monday, the 10th, in Denver
begins the important hearing of rail-
road matters before the Interstate
Commences Commission which will very
likely determine whether our Rio
Grande railroad becomes part of the
Burlington, is absorbed by the great
Sana Fc system, or continues to 60 it
alone.
At this hearing all Southern and
Western Colorado will stand united as
favoring the Santa Fe, except those
along the former Grand river (now the
Colorado), who still dream of the day
when they will be going through to
Denver via a short cut over the Dot
sero line and the Moffatt tunnel. E.

strongly with the interests Of Pueblo,

Strike in Madonna
Mine Near Salida

A rich gold strike was made at the
Madonna mine ut Monarch last week.
Kenneth Burton who has the lease on
the property, s6ys It gives pr0mf18 u
making Monarch . second Rawley
camp. The value is running $50 q
ton. The Madonna was one OF the
biggest producers in the state several
years ago. The mining business
around Salida is picking up and in
dications are that at least 1000 more
men will be employed in operations IN
that territory this summer.
With only 10 feet Of drift yet to be
completed before cutting the old
Chloride workings. the Carter owners
are pushing work steadily on this
development project which has occu-
pied many months. Contract work
has driven $50 feet on this drift. Some
stopping has been going on in the COM
pany property this winter, and there is
reason 70 believe the price of metals
will shortly advance to q point where
the mine can be opened on larger
scale.

". S. c. WILL HAVE SEPARATE
BOARD OF TRUSTEES SOON

The Western State College of Colo
RADIO is to have Board Of Trustees
Of its own just like other state coli
leges. Thru the efforts of Lieutenant
Governor Rockwell this bill which has
been kept in reserve was reported out
Of the senate committee last Friday
with favorable recommendation. II
passed second reading Monday and
third reading Wednesday by unAnim-
Gus vote. The legislators recognize
that while there mny be argument in
favor Of one board for all the schools,
It Is not fair to Gunnison to be tied
up with Greeley and have q Board Of
Trustees appointed, all but one person
from the Eastern Slope.
Representative Cowan phones vi
that the bill should come up for second
reading in the house today and thru
reading tomorrow. He is confident il
viii pe8- While the governor BE-
lieves in cutting down boards instead
Of increasing them. there is no ex-
pense attached except railroad fare,
and the senate has cut the number OF
trustees for this school from seven Ia
five. With n board from closely
cities, travelling expenses will be less
than when the members Of the present
board come clear from Northwestern
Colorado to see US, so an actual saving
in money will be made.
Mr.. Cowan states that the legisla-
ture will probably adjourn on next
Thursday, the 18th Of April.

there are considered equally as good

than Immediately surrounding Gunni-

tically anywhere in this country. Gun
