City Makes Serious Charges Against
Engineer and Contractor on Glen

GIVEN HEARING IN APRIL

Maurice L. Miller and B. A. White,
the former the construction engineer
employed by the city Of Glenwood
Springs prior to and during the early
part Of the construction work ON the
,Glenwood water works system, and the
latter q member Of tho contracting
firm, the White 4 johnson Construc-
tion company, to whom was awarded the
contract for constructing our water
works system, were placed under ar
rest in Denver by Sheriff Winters last
Saturday on q charge Of conspiracy to
defraud.
The information on which the AZ
rest was made was verified by Mayor
". g. Mcdonald ON behalf Of the city
and recites that defendants did, ON or
about the 5th day Of August, 1928, un-
lawfully feloniously, msliciously and
wilfully conspire, combine, confederate,
cooperate and agree together falsely,
The Glenwood post., 1924-03-20

wilfully, feloniously, knowingly and
designedly to pretend and represent to
the city Of Glenwood Springs that an
excess or greater length Of tunnel was
being constructed
District Attorney Delaney states that
the exact amount Of excess tunnel
which the defendants falsely and fraud
ulently conspired and agreed to repre-
sent and pretend had been constructed
is in excess Of 800 feet, ands that the
city had contracted and agreed to pay
the construction company 1880 per
lineal foot Of such tunnel and to pay
30 per cent Of the contract price a.
the work progressed. Or to be more
specific, the statement is made that
the said Miller and White represented
to the city that 3,05s feet Of said tun-
mel had been completed, whereas, at
the time Of such representation, only
2,e70 feet had been completed, or a

brought to Glenwood. Although Mrs.
Gilman resisted arrest she was taken
into custody by Wood and brought to
Glenwood and placed in the county
Jail where she paced the floor all night,
muttering incoherently and askiAg
"What is this all aboutf" When told
that she was accused Of shooting her
husband, she said al didn't do it,"
Inasmuch as there was no one near
the Gilman ranch except George Bar
nard, quiet inoffensive old man who
lived in a nearby cabin and who wit
messed the shooting, the outlook is very
bad for Mrs. Gilman.
The couple have quarreled a great
deal since they have lived in that
neighborhood, and Gilman has often
complained to the sheriff and others
that his wife has theatened to kill him.
It y reported that Mrs. Gilman ON
one occasion fastened her husband TO
tree with a chain and then stood
some distance away and shot the limbs
off the tree, in an apparent effort to
see how nearly she could come to hit
ting him, without doing 90.
1t was known that the couple al
most constantly kept quantity of
moonshine whisky on hand, it being
claimed that they manufactured it on
the place and that they were their own
best customers.
When taken to the hospital last
night Gilman was suffering greatly
from shock, and having lost SO much
blood his condition was considered
critical from the beginning.
About midnight there was some I'm.
provement in the mans condition and
DR.. Hopkins amputated the shattered
arm. A wound was found in the back
where bullet had entered, being de-
Elected by q rib and coming out on the
other side Of the spinal column. Ap
parently this bullet had punctured the
left lung These wounds were dressed
and the patient was given every pos
sible attention, but there was not suf
ficient vitality to Withstand the severe
experience, and he passed away about
three clock this afternoon.
Gilman is said to have been q half
breed Indian, and it is rumored that
Mrs. Gilman is part Mexican. Before
he died Gilman stated that his wife
shot him. He told the officers that he
feared her and that he broke the stock
off the gun, but she shot him with It
anyway. A 25-35 caliber rifle was
found on the place and this IS now in
possession Of the sheriff. A brother
Of the dead man at Bend, Oregon, has
been notified of the tragedy.

through said Misrepresentation the de-
PENDANTS conspired, agreed and COM
bined to defraud said city of $4,3l4,
which pretenses and representations
the defendants knew at the time to be
false.
The accused were very indignant
when the warrants were served on them
by Sheriff Winters, but they secured
permission from District Attorney De-
laney to give bonds in Denver for their
appearance in the district court in Glen
wood on April IA, when their cases are
set for hearing. Each Of the defend
ants then gave bonds for $1,000 for his
appearance, and they were then re-
leased.
This action taken by the city fur
nishes no surprise to those who have
watched the trend of events from the
beginning of the construction on the
municipal water works system, as there
have been many rumors to the effect
that Miller's estimates of work com.
pleted were padded and that an excess
amount was paid by the city, in which

were joint beneficiaries.

HAVE YOU VISITED
MESA VERDE PARK?
(By Arthur W. Monroe.l


Mesa Verde National Park is West.
ern Colorsdo's only national park re-
serve. It has been a national park
since the year 1905 and yet there are
hundreds of old time residents Of West.
ern Colorado who have never seen its
wonders. Many have not even heard
Of it or do not know that there il any.
thing Of interest there.
Within few years Mesa Verde will
be one Of the very greatest places Of
interest to the travelling public. It u
that today, although it is not known a.
wsn - It viii bs in . few ysars to
come.
The end Of the season Of 1898 saw
nearly 5000 visitors registered on the
park register. That means nearly
5000 boosters for Mesa Verde, who
will do q great deal to advertise the
great national park.
It should be considered quite an
honor to live 30 near the greatest Of
all national parks. People from every
state in the Union visited Mesa Verde
last year and it was necessary for them
to pass through some part Of Western
Colorado. From commercial stan
point, this IL big thing.
I think there were almost as many
people came all the way from Califor-
mia to see the Cliff Dwellings Of Mesa
Verde as the number who came into
tho park from the Western Slope dur
ing 1923. They drove q thousand miles
or moro to SEQ It while tho Western
Colorado people would not drive 100
to 900 miles to SEQ It.
Mr.. Citizen Of the Western Slope, do
you realize that almost at your very
doors are thousands Of ruins Of prehis.

two or three thousand years agof Do

writhing and wallowing in a pool Of

by bullet, and gunshot wound in
the back which was causing the man
much pain.
Wood then summoned the doctor who
hurried to the place and gave the man
