TROLLS ROYCE :
PROTECTED
IN COURT
Judge Holds Name Cannot Be
Used by Manufacturer Of
Radio Tubes

TRENTON, N. J., Nov. "a
Rolls Royce" has become almost
a slang expression for quality these
days. Now comes a judge in q
New Jersey court who rules that
it cannot be appropriated by any
one who wants to label his product
the best In the field. In short, the
name OF Rolls Royce" must not
be taken In vain.
1t all came about because a
maker OF radio tubes chose the
name Of the automobile for his
wares. When the matter was taken
into court, Judge Runyon, OF the
United States District Court for
New Jersey, decided to issue an
Injunction against the makers con.
tinued use of the name.

Death of Mrs. Harry
Smith in Milwaukee

Harry Smith received word from
Milwaukee Wednesday that his wife
had died at the home Of her sister in
that city at Ave o'clock that afternoon
Mr.. Smith left Thursday evening for
the east and funeral arrangement
will be made on his arrival there. II
is thought that burial will take place
AZ the family home, Waterloo, Iowa
near which place Mrs. Smith was born,
at La Porte.
Mrs. Smith has been critically i'll
for some time, her illness extending
over several years. Last March her
sister came to Gunnison and took the
invalid back with her to Milwaukee
to care for her, as it was known Mrs
Smiths case was hopeless. Every.
thing possible was done by her hus.
band and friends and relatives to helF
her. Frequent trips to lower attitudes
and health resorts were taken, but
did not do much good.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith came to Gun
nison in 1911, Mr.. Smith being EN-
ployed with the d. & r. G. w. rail
road. Before her health broke down
Mrs. Smith was quite active socially
and made many friends here as wei
MS in Salida, where the family livet
for a time.
There are no children in the family
Sympathy is extended to the bereav'
ed husband and relatives in the pass
ing Of their loved one.

Stephen Waters at Crookston, went
to Waunita Hot Springs to spend the

treatment. He died Sunday morning.
Burial was made in the cemetery at
that place.
On Wednesday morning, Mrs. Jos.
Lake, wife of the section foreman,
died very suddenly. The body was
shipped to Salida that night. Heart
trouble is given as the cause Of death.
On Tuesday the lady went fishing and
was in the best Of health and spirits.
On retiring that night she remarked
to her husband that she was feeling so
well lately. Next morning, at 1880,
she died before any assistance could

COLLEGE GYM
CONSTRUCTION
IS OUTLINED

The bids for the new college gym
nasium are to be opened in Denver
this afternoon. DIR. L. NJ. Russell, local
member of the board, left last even-
ing to attend the meeting. As soon
as the contract is let, as it is confident
ly believed will be done, construction
will begin and it is hoped that the
building can be finished before the
spring term of 1925.
The structure is to be a very slightly
and well-finished one as the architects
blue prints show. The main entrance
is to the south and is to be flush with
the path, coming down from the door
Of North Hall to Buell. Crawford field.
A western door leads into a hall off
which are the offices, dressing rooms,
and showers. The whole building
measures 70x 100 feet; the GYM
nasium itself win be 45 X so feet. The
floor Is to be matched maple with a
sanded finish and is not to be laid un-
til plastering is completed. 1t will
not only be excellent for athletics, but
for social affairs as we'll. The walls
of the building are to be Of brick and
the roof will be tile. Heating will be
available from the ample central plant
SO wisely erected for this purpose.
When completed, the new structure
will form valuable addition to the
college.
The authorities Of the school and
numberiess business men consulted
have been unanimous In believing that
this hall for the physical training de-
partment is the most pressing need
of the hour at Western, and the money
available in the building fund is suf-
ficient to pay for It by the time of
completion. The teaching of physical
training Is becoming every year more
essential for the increasing group Of
students, both men and women, who
are to 20 forth to carry the instruc-
tion gained here into the rural, gr,sie
and high schools Of the state. Tho
subject must be adequately presented
since the public now demands it. That
il will also have tremendous influ-
ence upon the future Of athletics at
Western is also beyond question. and
all those interested in sports and
games are for It.
It's beneficial effect on the capacity
Of the institution will also be apparent
in the main buildings, where the
physical training department has been
nuisance to itself and the other de-
rooms for other classes immediately,
something that could not be secured
in any other way except by complct-
ing the central hall, and It would be
two years yet before the slowly ac-
cumulating building fund would allow
that.

One Of the new features Of the

in f;unnison Of 100 or more delegates
of the state stock association, who
Nwifrbs here 70 hold thsir midsummer

These sessions will be held at the

the visitors comfortably and reason

principally upon the tax matters
which press so vividly upon everyone,
and able speakers will present all
angles Of the matter. The stockmen,

SIX GUN RELIC
OF EARLY DAYS.
PROBABLE OWNER

A relic Of the days when Gunnison
was booming town with prospects
Of being the center of the states in
dustry, has been unearthed on the site
Of one of the old saloons. On the
Fourth Of July, while the Greear child
rem were playing in the yard back OF
the present Handy Kitchen, an old
Cole Cap and Ball sixshooter was
found buried about foot under the
ground. 1t was fully loaded in all six
chambers, making it seem something
besides discarded six-gun, and num-
erous stories are woven about 1t.
1t is related that in the olden days
when real western bad men roamed
this c0untry-men who could shoot
equally well with either hand and
were so quick on the draw that one
could scarcely detect the movement of
the hand-there was 4 man by the
name of Jack Watson, q tacitum
shaggy looking individual, who was
all any easterner with his mind filed
with the usual wild ideas of the west.
could imagine. Rumor had it that he
had killed more than one man ard
those who knew him do not seem to
dsaht. When the sheriff of Gunnison
esunty, no other than our well-known
DOC" Shores, had . particularly
toagh customer to catch, Jack Watson
was enlisted to bring IN the man, and
he did. For a long while he was .
sort Of deputy sheriff and then he de-
veloped grudge against a man, just
who or why is a mystery. He was
after his man, and during the man.
hunt, went into the pool hall situat-
ed where the Handy Kitchen and the
Bank 4 Trust Company building now
stands and proceeded to imbibe rather

the police were on his trail and stis
said that as he had no desire to be
caught carrying firearms at that time
be took his gun out into the back yard
and hid II. Next morning when he
went to find It, he couldn't remember
the spot where it was and two OF
three of the old-timers say It never
vas found. Any way, the gun dug
mp on the Fourth is the same type Of
weapon the man carried. However
others declare that II Jack Watson
ever went after his man, he got hin,
and that he was not the kind TO hide
his gun in fear Of the police.
At any rate the gun can be seen in
the window Of the Handy Kitchen and
anyope can view it at any time. II
