Mystery Deepens
About Mrs. Wood

Montrose and vicinity are in the
|throes of what appears To be a murder
mystery. According to reports from
that section, Mrs. Genevieve Wood,
wife of John Wood, has been missing
since June 7th, and SO far nothing Of
her whereabouts can be discovered and
both police authorities and neighbors
of the Woods express the belief that
she has been murdered and her body
buried in some isolated spot.
Wood was recently convicted of the
murder Of Fred J. pobler, son-in-la law
Of w. J. Truesdale Of Gunnison. The
killing was the result of fence dis
pute and considered the most cold
blooded deed on record. The Woods
ranch home is in an isolated section
Of Sanborn park, near Montrose, and
authorities are now making q thoro
investigation of the Woods premises
as well as the surrouning vicinity in
the belief that Wood may have killed
his wife and hidden her body. Wood
is said to have told conflicting stories
his wife's whereabouts.
He told neighbors that his wife had
gone TO Denver to work as q stenog-
rapher. Another time he claimed she
had gone to visit relatives in Missouri.
However, inquiry at the different
addresses failed to reveal any trace Of
Mrs. Wood having been there, and as
result, relatives have asked police
Of Montrose to make a thorough in
vestigation into the matter. Wood is
alleged to have been very cruel to his
wife and likewise bears a rather un-
savory reputation in that section.

the crowd was once again ready for
the races, and some fine ones were
staged.
The first event was an exhibition of
draft horses; Fred Besse, first; John
Knowles, second; and George Ander-
sons horses, third.
The y mile pony race-Shorty, rid
den by Date Scott, owned by Stewart
Johnston, took first; Easter, ridden by
Harry Urine, owned by Date Scott,
was second; and Pepper, ridden BY
Dean, owned by Scobey, third.
The u mile free-for-all is to be run
again this afternoon, because horse
was left at the pole.
Mickey, owned and ridden by Vance,
came in third in the colt race, Anna,
ridden by 81 Gray, owned by Vance,
second. and Cotton, owned and ridden
by Dean, first.
The ladies' relay was fast and
furious race. The time was three
minutes. Ileta Mcdonald, on Burns
string, took first; Waunita Edgar, on
Scobey's. second, and Mary Howard
on Date Scott's horses, third.
The y mile free-for-all race is to
be repeated today.
The mems relay was again won by
Burns string. Second went to SEQ
hey and third to Dean.
The wild horse race furnished more
thrills than ever. The horses all got
away before the race was to begin
and some time was taken up in chas-
ing them. However, at last they got
off and Homer Roark came in first,
with Morris second.
Miss Opal Wood Of New York, put
on two or three exhibitions of fancy
riding and entertained the crowd. She
rode bucking horses both days and
proved herself real rider.
Two of the humorous races of
Thursdays program were the potato
race and the musical box race. The
potato race was entered by a large
group Of fun-loving boys and much
excitement was witnessed as each
tried to get the most potatoes. Four
boys secured six potatoes, altho one
insisted that he would have more il
there hadn't been rocks among the
others in the box. Bill Dunn, Gene
Estey, Sheep Brown and Frank San
ford were the winners and the purse
was divided equally.
The musical box race was the usual
musical chair race, but on horses.
There was one less box than persons.
The band played the music; when It
suddenly stopped each contestant had
to find box. The one that was left
out each time was removed from the
game. OF course, when there were
only two boys and one box left, the
grandstand crowd went wild. Oscar
Dunn won first, Fred Foster, second
and delaney third.
The buckng events are not to be
finished until this afternoon, but some
riders have been up that would prove
hard to beat. One, Lawton Champie.
the worlds champion, showed some
riding the first day, but the horse fell
on him after the bell had rung and
hurt him so that he was unable 70 ride

jockeying displeased the crowd. Phee-

mount, Auditor, second; and c. M.
Dean on Monty, owned by J. Dean,
third.
A humorous race, staged by Jud
Scobey and Bill Swiggart, brought
down the crowd. Two chariots were
gaily decorated and each drawn by
four horses. The four brown horses
of one team and the four blacks of
the other gave promise of an exciting
race. 1t was up to expectations and
a splendid showing; first one was in
the lead, then the other. When the
line was reached, the teams were neck
and neck and the decision was tie.
Another. race of this sort is scheduled
for this afternoon. Both men are con-

The relay was a fast and exciting
race won by the string belonging to
Burns. Jud Scobey's horses came in
second and vance's were third.
As usual, the wild horse race was
the exciting part Of the afternoons
program. The roping was excellently
done and the horses well ridden. Mike
Cuneco got his horse under control and
came in first, but almost lost when the
animal took an aversion TO going
under the tape. Jack Linscott was
second.
The clown furnished much amuse-
ment with his red-stripped donkey and
shot gun or pistol. The band also FILL
ed in many waits. Date Scott ran a
race with his son that was closely
contested. The youngster rode a
Shetland pony and gave an example
Of fine horsemanship for one so young.
Mr.. Scott rode gray pony, but in
spite Of his efforts, was bested by both
his son and mount.
Thursday afternoon the program
began 1t the same hour. After
spending the morning and most Of

Stars and Stripes Meet Mexican
Eagle on Bridge and Nations Join
In Pledge to Progress and Freedom
(By CHESTER M. WRIGHT)

gled out two names of absent men
and called upon all to hold their
names dear and to preserve them up
on the scroll of honor. These were
John Murray and James Lord.
Mexico knows these names, as it
knows the names of its own leaders
1t knows John Murray and it holds
his name in almost sainted reverence
1t knows him as humble man walk
ing in the path of duty, at what cost
to himself it never mattered-at what
cost but few ever knew or will know
1t knows James Lord as the great
strong man of battle, always ready
always in the forefront, always bat
tunity were given him, for the future
and the freedom of men who could
not speak or fight for themselves.
tling away while strength and oppor-
1t was a beautiful and a touching
thing, this tribute to these two men.
1t brought out sharply the tragedy
that marks every great struggle for
human progress and freedom. But
more than that it reminded every one
that always there are men whose lives
are happiest when they are most
completely immersed in the struggle,
when they are giving most freely of
their energies and strength.
1t was a beautiful, a magnificent
tribute that Juan Rico paid to Samuel
Gompers, puctuated by round after
round of vigorous applause. The vet
eran leader was cheered and applaud
ed through Rico's remarks and
throughout his own response. Rico
recounted event after event, in which
Gompers has been of service to Mex
leo. He told of the old days of Por-
firio Diaz and he pictured the recent
uprising of the fatuous de la Huer-
ta Always it was Gompers who went
into battle for the rights and liberties
of the Mexican people.
And Gompers rose to the moment
in the manner characteristic of him
through many, many fighting years.
He poured out his heart and soul,
straining his aged body in one of the
high, proud moments of his life. He
was the apostle, the brother, the
friend, the leader-the prophet; he
was talking to the multitude that he
an unflinching soul, bearing the
IOTCI anu UIdHulSIllIlS Illc SWOIu. Ills
words, as they came in the English
tongue, rose and fell in a cadence
that stirred and reused the soul.
Translated into the Spanish of his
hosts, they rolled forth as tremendous
marching music, behind which the
great, moving ranks may move on
through the future.
The international gatherings are
over now. They have held their stage
through their brief, but magnificent
moment Other and more quiet days
are ahead, but the seeds sown in
these two days will live on and bloom
in increased human freedom and hap
piness.
Thousands who live today may new
er know that great news has been
made. Thousands will but know that
men and women met, for what reason
they perhaps will not even care. But
news has been made-news of that
rare variety that becomes the history
of the race.

Was a Wet Month in
Toledo Police Court

Toledo, O.--As the federal authori-
ties hereabout seem to have virtually
abandoned liquor law endorsements
the police have had busy time of it
with those who object to the arid
state of the country, the report for
October shows.
Sixty persons were convicted in po-
lice court under the state anti-liquor
law. Fines totaled $500. The
sponge quad searched 246 places and
collected 225 gallons of turgid liq-
uid that they said was whisky.
The amber fluid in imitation of
beer seized totaled 141 gallons. Mash
to the tune of 1860 pounds was de-
stroyed. Three of the sixty arrested
were second offenders, it was said.
Proprietors of four soft drink parlors
lost their license as a result of the
discovery of something stronger in
their places.
