NO FAIR FOR THIS YEAR

The county commissioners have
practically decided not to put on a
fair this year. The decision was
reached on Tuesday after canvas
sing the subject to their satisfaction.
1t is thought that the saving of ex-
pense and the saving of time and
applying that on the harvest will
be safe plan for this year.
This county is making an effort
to secure the state seed show this
fall, and it can be put on for about
what is usually expended for the fair
advertising, and if the local people
will attend the seed show they will
probably get as much benefit from
it as from the fair. The seed show
will come after the busy season is
over and there will be little sac
rifice of time in attending it,

NEW FACTORY IN BLACKFOOT

Blackfoot has new factory tina
came without any effort on the par
of the chamber of commerce and
without receiving any bonus from
the town. 1t is operating at hundred
percent capacity and not contemplat-
ing shutdown. On the contrary
they expect to increase the working
force just as soon as the season is
little further advanced.
We refer to the Vacuum Seed
Cleaner and Thresher plant operating
in the new Bills building at the cor
ner of Pacific and Broadway, R. C.
Hammond, inventor, proprietor, me-
chanic and operative.
Last year Mr.. Hammond made an
invention, tested and improved upon
it, put it to work operating in the
fields with a Fordson tractor fur
nishing power, paid for the tractor
out of the earnings, and made en-
ough to pay his other expenses for
the season, and we claim that isn't
bad for young fellow just out Of
high school. He patented his inven
tion as soon as it was an assured
success, and during the winter he
worked over some straw piles on the
seed farms getting what seed the or
binary threshers had blown over the
riddles into the waste.
This invention goes over the
fields picking up by suction the al
falfa seed that skaters off in har-
vesting, picks up the seed pods and
breaks them, liberating the seed,
cleans it well and pours it into
sack.

SHEEP SOLD WELL

It will be remembered that the XII

$4,000 were contracted, and 1t is

An idea of the volume of bust

kIONAPPING PLOT
IS HATcAED HERE

Last Sunday evening Gunnison was
the scene Of real, modern kidnap-
ing -elopement plan, altho il was not
aware of the fact. II seems a young
lady from Pueblo, accompanied by her
parents drove into Gunnison Thursday
night of last week and visited with
their friends, Mr.. and Mrs. John En-
gland and family until Monday morn
ing. The parents were bound FOR the
coast, bent upon taking their daughter
to California, out Of the influence of a
certain young gentleman OF that city;
but the young man, being much in
love, followed the party and managed
to see the girl here without her par
ents being aware Of II. She was con-
WINGED that il would be fine idea for
the boy and friend Of his to hold up
her parents while she got into his
car. And Monday morning It was
was done. About 36 miles west al
Sunnison at the Halfway House on
the Blue mesa, the young men appear
ed and pointing gun at the parents,
took their daughter from their car.
The father, Fred Swearington, called
up the Montrose sheriff and had the
trio stopped. The boys are still in
Montrose, while the girl is on her way
to California with her parents.
The young man in the case, Way
man Welch, is but nineteen years OF
age, while the girl, Gladys Swearing
ton, is seventeen. Perhaps it's just as

under a mattress, but the sheriff's
wife, Mrs. Laird, heard suspicious
sounds and warned her husband. He
found the gun and after that the
boys were allowed but little liberty,
and when taken to Montrose, they
were quite closely handcuffed to-
gether.
The boys, whose names are Paul
Rodes, Robert Pritchard and Kelley
Williams, travelled under aliases, are
from Denver. One asked for pic
ture of his mother and family, which
was among the things taken from the
car when the boys were arrested.

HARRY CAssADY
STATEMENT IS
4 PIPE DREAM

Montrose Press.
Following Associated Press dis
patches from Denver received Monday
morning, the Press was surprised so
much that efforts were made to con-
firm its veracity and these showed
that it is one Of Harry Casady's cam
paign pipe dreams. The dispatch
reads:
Harry Cassidy, state budget and
efficiency commissioner. returning
from a trip of inspection of state in
stitutions, declared he found sentiment
on the western slope for moving the
Western State Normal School now at
Gunnison to Grand Junction. He said
that Grand Junction offered free site
and would provide facilities for mov-
ing. In the event the school is moved
the Gunnison building would be used
for . summer school.
Efforts to locate President Fred
Hogue and Secretary Wood of the
Grand Junction Chamber of Commerce
proving futile, Walter Walker original
promoter Of the idea, was called. He
said that Cassidy, who is a candidate
for state auditor on the democratic
ticket, had been in Grand Junction, but
that nothing had been said regarding
tie Gunnison school.
The project was talked Of last year.
but has now been dropped and Is a
dead issue. Mr.. Walker had first
suggested it, but after conference with
other parts of Western Colorado the
matter was abandoned as no one out
side of Mesa county favored it.
The disposal Of the matter was def
nately agreed upon at the state Rota-
ry meeting in Colorado Springs last
May and nothing has been said about
it since. It is one Of Cassady's politi-
cal dreams. Maybe he th0t it would
bring him Mesa county votes.
It won't get him anywhere, such
rank buncombe as this.

Crested Butte Folks
Have Narrow Escape

Four young people of Crested Butte,
Sam and Charlie Songer, Ray Morgan
and Miss Leo Steinberg, met with a
serious accident last Saturday night
while driving over the Crested Butte
Somerset road en- route to a dance
near Somerset. There are varied re-
ports as to how the accident happened,
but 1t seems there was log across
the road, which was not seen in the
dark. At any rate, the car was thrown
from the road and is said to have
turned over n couple of times. Miss
Steinberg was quite seriously injured,
it being thot at first that her bnck
was broken, however, it now appears
to be serious sprain. Ray Morgan
had his jaw broken, while the Songer
boys were badly bruised. The acci-
dent happened near the Horse Ranch
on very narrow piece of road.

EXCELLENT ROADS
LEAD TO EVERYWHERE

Reports continue to come from
every quarter of the Gunnison section
that roads are in fine condition in
spite Of the very dry season. The
county road machinery has never been
in such good shape, nor the trained
r0admen SO efficient in the handling
Of caterpillars, trucks and graders. A
stretch of road that formerly took
months to repair or put in condition,
can now be graded, ditched and
smoothed in a few days by means Of
the modern equipment which the
county has secured.
Archer Miller, road supervisor, re-
ports that he has his maintenance
funds, furnished jointly by the state
and county, well ahead of the game,
in fact has more money on hand than
any other county of Western Colorado
according to financial reports to the
Highway Commission. This is in
preparation for emergencies, in case
we have spell of bad weather, as
last year, and in the hope that later
in the season a number of the side
roads can be surfaced for consider
able distance.
Crawling has started at the high
bridge near Sapinero, and this piece of
road will soon be perfected. r. r.
Morrison, contractor on the project
west of town, has about half the work
done on Cooper's hill, but will occupy
all the fall in completing his work,
possibly postponing the graveling till
spring.
There is much hope Of securing a
very large federal aid appropriation,
probably over 100000 for completion
Of the stretch between Gunnison and
lola, for 1925.

PROF. MANUEL
NEAR DEATH
IN EXPLOSION

A very serious and strange accident
occurred Saturday afternoon in which
Prof. w. A. Manuel, head Of the
Chemistry Department Of Western
state College was seriously in
Jured when tank Of acetylene gas
which he was filing exploded. The
professor was working in o room out
side Of the college halls when he was
injured. At the time Of the accident,
ne was holding an electric light over
the tank and looking in, and II was ut
first thought that short circuit made
a spark which set the gas on fire.
However, Prof. Manuel now thinks
1t may have been the heat of the globe
that kindled it and plans to investi-
gate later.
Prof. Manuel got the full force of
the explosion in the face, which may
cause the complete loss of one eye,
altho at last reports the doctors have
good hopes of saving both eyes. II
was also feared that he had swallowed
some of the gas, but as yet no signs
of danger from that source are ap-
parent. One ear was badly burned
as was also the left hand with which
he was holding the light.
The injured man was taken to Sal
ida Immediately by A. r. Mccormick,
a student at the college. His wife,
brother, DR.. H. 7. Manuel, and DR.. J.
p. McDonough accompanied him.
No one was near Professor Man
uel at the time of the accident except
Emmst Cochran, the janitor's boy. but
the explosion was heard and people in
the main building were on the scene
in short time. Counteracting acids
were brought forth, but the damage
had already been done.
The doctors at the hospital have re-
moved three pieces of glass from the
right eye. The left eye was not so
badly injured as he was holding his
hand over it while peering into the
tank. 1t is said there will be no need
of skin grating as was at first thot
would be necessary.
Prof. and Mrs. Manuel have many
friends, both among the townspeople
and the college, and the tragic hap
pening has caused sincere regret and
sympathy on all sides, and everyone
hopes that he will fully recover soon.
