day evening and Wednesday morning
by unidentified thieves and two or
three dollars in cash and number Of
pocket knives and flashlights wera
stolen The loss will not amount to

and reaching thru and turning the
bolt by which the door was fastened.
The small aperture in the glass woulf
indicate that only q boys arm could
have reached the bolt. The cash
drawer was broken open with .
hatchet taken from show ease, and .
small amount of change taken. The
robber was apparently too excited to
make a thoro job on the cash drawer,

LAST LINK OF
SOUTH PARK
TO Be JUNKEO

In the nature Of an eleventh hour
reprieve was the telegram received at
the Rio Grande depot in Buena Vista
Friday morning ordering service on
the Romley branch of the old South
Park continued for another thirty
days. Orders had been received de-
finitely discontinuing service on this
branch, the last link Of the famous
Denver, Leadville and Gunnison, 10 be
effective Friday, September 10. The
train crew. and station agent were all
ready to remove themselves and the
company equipment to Leadville Fri
day, when the telegram was received
ordering another thirty days service,
pending the decision Of the u. S. Su-
preme Court in the matter.
The junking Of the Romley branch
finishes the chapter for one Of the
oldest roads of the state, railroad
which was closely interviewer with
the early history of the Gunnison dis
trict.
In 1879, 1880 and 1881, the Denver,
Lcadville and Gunnison railroad was
constructed from Denver thru the
South Park to Buena Vista, thence up
thru st. Elmo and Romley to Alpine
Pass and down thru Pitkin and Parlin
to Gunnison, which was the terminus
Of the road. The road enjoyed a
handsome patronage for many years,
but the difficulties Of winter time
operation and the competition Of the
Denver & Rio Grande, together with
the mysterious Wall Street manipula-
tions Of the road, ned to the closing
Of the branch from Gunnison over Al
pine Pass some twenty years ago.
The branch from Gunnison to Baldwin
was leased to the Denver Z Rio
Grande, as was also that section Of the
main line from Parlin to Quartz, above
Pitkin. This is known now as the
Rio Grande Pitkin, branch. The yards
and shops at Gunnison were aban-
doned, and the main line from here TO
Pariin, paralleling the Rio Grande
tracks few hundred yards to the
north, was junked. The expensive
tunnel at Alpine Pass was also aban-
doned, together with the road as far
as Romley, above St Elmo. Next
came the junking Of the main aline
from Buena Vista to Como, tie divi-
sion point in South Park. This lofe
only the section from Bpena Vista g

sion from Como to GunntzQn.

Fall Term At College
Opens Next Monday

Next weeks quota of students en-
rolling at Western State College will
find many changes and improvements
on the campus. The two new build
ings are rapidly going up, the athletic
field has been greatly improved, and
the main buildings show many addi-
tions of equipment.
The steel is all in place for the
gymnasium roof and the brick work
is going forward rapidly. Shortage
of brick held up the work to some cx-
tent until the last week or two. A
serious accident was narrowly averted
Monday when huge roof truss which
was being hoisted into place, fell about
thirty feet. -Four w0rkmen jumped
Just In time.
The club house is practically COM
pleted. The ceiling is now being put
in, which is the last big job next to
the painting and finishing Of the
woodwork. The grounds surrounding
the building are in need of little at
tention, but this condition will be
remedied at once. DR.. Johnson brot
down four beautiful young pines from
Cathedral last week, which were plant
ed at the south entrance. A gravel
walk from North Hall to the club
house is; being put in this week.

Faculty changes are few. Miss Lois
Borland returns to the English de-
partment after a long leave Of alb
sence. C. S. Martin is new addi-
ton in the mathematics department.
At least sixteen and perhaps as
high as twenty-five of the cottages in
Highland Village are to be occupied
this winter. The cottages were orig
;nally constructed for summer occu-
pancy only, but the prospective winter
tenants are making the changes nec-
essary for the coming cold weather.
