kINGsBURY RECEIVES
FEDERAL SENTENCE

Edwin G. Kingsbury, lawyer, promot-
er and stock jobber, former resident
of Glenwood Springs and Denver, but
late of Fort Worth, Texas, was SEN
! fenced last Monday at a session of the
federal court to two and a half years
in the federal prison at Leavenworth,
on his plea of guilty to charge of
using the U. s. mails to defraud.
At the same time Kingsbury's broth
er-inlaw, Isaac G. Howard, former
grocer of Boulder but for several years
operating with Kingsbury in the oil
and stock game, received the same
sort of sentence.
Early this year Kingsbury and How
ard were arraigned in the federal court
at Milwaukee, and after entering pleas
Of guilty each asked for and was given
ninety days in which to place his bus
mess in order before receiving SEN
tence.
Kingsbury returned to Fort Worth
and Immediately proceeded to marry a
wife, his third matrimonial venture,
having some time previously divorced
Mrs. Marie Griffith Kingsbury, who
was well known to our Glenwood peo-
pie. tr
The Kingsburys left Glenwood in

tion business, organizing the Riverton
Oil Refining company out of which he
made a fortune. A few years ago he
moved from Denver to Fort Worth,
Texas, where he continued his promo
tion business on an even larger scale
than in Denver, but employing much
the same tactics, it is said, as he had
used in his Denver operations, and
which brought him under the sxspicions
of the federal authorities.
In Fort Worth he also entered ac-
lively into politics, and Mt the time of
