Woman Saw Men

Story Related by Mrs. Iva Martin
that she saw two men running from
the apartment building in which Mrs
Mors was found dead last Wednes-
day, today further deepened the mys-
terry surrounding the woman's death.
Kid Mccoy was not the man Mrs
Martin saw etagger toward the street
and lean forward against the side
of the building a few minutes after
she heard a woman's screams. Mrs
Martin told officers.
She was taken to the city Jail by
Detective Captain Herman Cline. to
whom she related her story, to see
if she could identify Mccoy. The
ex-boxer was ordered TO walk down
the Jail corridor and lean against a
wall. Mrs. Martin watched him a
few minutes, then said:
Mccoy is tall and stately. The
other man was thick and pouchy.
He was not a bit stately"

YOUTH Is ACCUSED OF LARCENY

Last Tuesday morning Marshal
Thompson placed under arrest Carl
Hargis, a young fellow who says his
home is in Los Angeles, the charge
against him being that the previous

property, including cuff links, watch
and 800 cash while the owners, p, O.
Bertchey and Raymond and Gilbert
Chase, were in the big swimmin pool.
The lad entered a plea of not guilty.
but the evidence against him was quite
convincing, the watch found in his
Possession being identified by Mr.. and
Mrs. Bertchey and the Chase brothers
as the property of Bertchey, while the

PIONEER VISITS oLKswooD

Last week Glenwood was visited by
Mr.. and Mrs. Window, former res
idents Of Garfield county and Glen
wood Springs. Mr.. winslow claims to
have driven the first stage itno Glen

relics Of the early days, Mr.. winslow
was exhibiting photograph showing
the original Hotel Glenwood, frame
structure, with Winslow's stage coach
standing in front of the same.
hTe Winslows lived for some time
on Rifle creek, near Rifle falls. For
several years they have made thei,
home in Chicago, and their trip west
was chiefly to see what changes time
has wrought in this ctuntry which they
pioneered in the days when wild In.

ASPEN'S FRIENDS
PICNIC SUNDAY
will Meet on independence
Pass in Honor Of Near
Completion Of Road
FEEL LIKE NEIGHBORs

Asa means of celebrating the near
completion of the Independence Pass
highway a route which for scenic
grandeur is said to be unsurpassed,
the people of Leadville and Aspen will
meet each other next Sunday on tho
top Of the Continental divid or at the
old Independence .ownsite to felicitats
themselves upon this latest example of
surmounting the old ridge which has
heretofore separated Nhe eastern from
the western slope.
The road is now in good shape across
the top, little narrow for a short dis
tance which will ultimately be aband-
oned, but for the most part it is smooth
and on fine grade the scenery
is superb. The idea of this picnic-the
idea of bringing together people who
are now near neighbors but who have
always been separated by heretofore
impossible barriers being sponsored
by the Leadville Lions, and the Lions
Of Glenwood are FALLING in with the
plan and they will be represented in
goodly numbers.
The drive between here and Aspen
is delightful ne, more SO than ever,
since the abandoned Midland right-of-
way has been utilized as public high
way between Basalt and Gerbazdale,
therbey eliminating number of rather
disagreeable curves.
The visitors are asked to bring their
own "eats' and the good people Of
Aspen will furnish plenty of uoffee-
and the finest drinking water in the
world-and they will exert themselves
to see that you do not regret the trip.
Plan to leave here about $3.50 or .
O'Clock, and you should make it to the
top of the world by noon.

WANT PASSES OPEN
ALL THE YEAR

Leadville, Aug. 2e.-Highways and
passes should be kept open all year
round was the concensus Of opinion Of
the members of the Fifth Highway As
sociation of County Commissioners,
holding their annual convention here.
Richard Quinn Of Teller county, re-
elected president Of the organization,
said that at least $4,000, 900 has been
invested nColorado roads, that the
state does an annual tourist trade Of
$43,00O,O0O and that this trade is de-
pendent to large extent on. good
highways.
He described blocked passes during
the winter months as q foolhardy meth
cd of lessening the value Of the tire.
mendous highway investments.
Several processes were described
which, at little cost, would keep the
states highways open, all year round,
or for the most part fhe year.
Former Senator T. j. Ehrhart told
of the success that is being had with
a plow in keeping traffic open around
the Pixies Peak section. He predicted
that the plow would soon be at work
in every county where storms make
highways inaccessible and streams Of
tourists would enjoy Colorado 3 superb

And here is Keck s reply to the ac-

sue Of the Democrat "top of column
and next to pure reading matter:
Glenwood Springs, Colo,
August oath, 1924.
NJ. CHARLES Daley, f'
Aspen, Colorado.
Dear Sir.
Your issue Of August 23rd just re-
ceived, and while certain article was
not masksd, found it, simply because
whom I Sst hold of an Aspen paper, 1
alwaps readit advertisements and all.
You know what Solomon saidi That
" All mon are liars,'' and I presume he
included the tourists.
Dont ever let anyone in Aspen
worry about which way we are routing
traffic. When I was with the Mid
land, you people were good to me, both
in business and friendly way, and
now is the time for me to reciprocate,
and I'm doing it, and shall continue
to do so.
From what information I can gather,
the total mileage that is not up to
standard does not exceed the total
mileage of bad roads over the Tennes-
see Pass route.
No doubt Manso Elisha gets hold of
number of our cards that 1 furnish
tourists and ask them to stop at the
Hotel jerome for "further instruc.
tions."
note with interest that you are
going to have picnic on the thirty.
first on the summit of Independence
Pass. On that day we have two round
trips from Woods lake to Glenwood
and as 1t looks now, I win be unable to
attend unless some changes are made
in the time of these trips. If I can.
not he there, you have my best wishes
for a good time, and I shall use every
effort to have as many of our people
present as l can persuade to go.
In conclusion I want to say, that If
every town or city would contain as
many loyal citizens, that are loyal to
their town and the interests the town
represents as Aspen has, this would be
a whole lot better world.
Sincerely, d.
H C. M. KECK.

ROCKWELL ISSUES
PLAIN STATEMENT
Is Not kIaa Member ald De-
clines to Digsiiy Order.
By Raising Issue
SURELY PLAIN ENOUGH

Paonia, Aug. 25.-Robert F. Rock
well, lieutenant governor Of Colorado
and candidate for the Republican NOM
nation for governor, issued state
ment at his home here Saturday night
in which he declared he would not be
"drawn in any controversy over the
merits or demerits of such an organiza-
ton" as the Ku Klux Xlan. The
statement was issued by Rockwell in
reply to an open letter to him by Earl
Cooley of Trinidad, anti-Klan candidate
for the Republican gubnartorial nomi-
nation, in which Cooley asked Rock
well to express his views on the organ
ization.
Rockwell said he had not received
the open letter and predicated his re-
ply on his interpolation of it after
hearing it read over the telephone.
Rockwell's IS statement follows,
"I have received several requests
during the last few days for a state
ment regarding my position as to the
organization known as the Ku Klux
Khan. Mr. .Cooley's open letter, az its
contents were given to me, also asks
for such a statement. am not, have
not been, and do not expect to become
member of the Ku Klux Klan. ]
have no connection with that organiza-
tion whatsoever. / am a Protestant
and my family have been prominent
residents of this country for almost
800 years.
do not regard the Ku Klux Kan
or any other secret organization a an
'issee IN this campaign and I win not
be drawn into any controversy over
the merits or demerits of such an or
ganization. I am running for the nom
nation of governor as a Republican
, and not as representative of any
raction.
Gas for Mr.. Cooley's question: II
his conclusions are based on fact, it
seems to me they are matters for courts
and not for candidates for office to
Nide."
