Great Storm was
Spread Over West

With but slight moderation ut some
points, the icy hand of King Boreas
has gnpped the entire western half Of
the United States, starting with q
blizzard and temperature of so to sc
below in Alaska and grad.:ally sweep
ing southwark until every state and
valley and plain had its share OF
snow and sleet and cold weather.
The low temperature struck into the
states first in Montana and Wyoming,
leaving n thermometer record of 50
to so degrees in principal towns up
north. For three days now it has set.
tied over Colorado and the states
south.
Gunnison proved no exception this
time. getting but little snow-only
three or four inches-but recording
several nights Of low temperature, tho
the absolutely quiet air has given nc
symptoms of such blizzard as caugh,

REOPEN QU|ClEY
CASE TO-DAY

On the formal demand of State
Auditor Stong and State Budget Com.
missioner Casaday on Governor Sweet
Saturday, the hearing on charges o.
incompetency and inefficiency lodged
by them against Samuel d. Quigley
president of the Western State college
at Gunnison was ordered re-openec
and DR.. Quigley left last night to ap.
pear again before the board.
The hearing will be held at the state
house Friday. In their interview with
the governor last Saturday, both Gas.
aday and Stong requested that they bt
called before the Board of Trustees o'
the college to present their charges
against Quigley.
Action OF Casaday and Stong fol.
lowed the failure last Friday of the
board of trustees to take any action
on charges made by the two statf
officials against President Qrigley
The board held that the charges hac
not been presented in the formai way
and that the governor had not dc,
manded an investigation.
As a matter of fact, messages from
literally hundreds Of the most in.
fiuential school people in Colorado
poured into the board meeting las,
week, and members, with one or two
exceptions. are believed to be now
solidly behind President Quigley. who
has nothing to fear from the absurc
charges inspired by hate and politics
and jealousy.

ISAAC WILSON FREEZES
IN b0STW|Ck PARK
Young Montrose Ranch
er Lost in Storm was
Brother of Mrs. Har-
vey Lobdell

While Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey Iobdell
were eating New Years dinner at the
Roy Lobdell home on the Cochetopa
Tuesday, Mrs. Lobdell was called to
the phone and informed of the death
Of her brother, Isaac 7. Wilson, of
Bostwick Park, near Montrose, whose
frozen body had been found by a
party of searchers. Mrs. Lobdell left
Wednesday morning for Montrose.
The Montrose Press gives the follow
ing account of the death:
Isaac I. Wilson, Bostwick Park
rancher, was found dead. frozen to
death in the snow Tuesday morning.
after searching parties had frantical-
ly covered practically every foot Of
the park.
Mr.. Wilson has been a habitual
hunter, and left his home Monday
afternoon with his hounds to hunt for
coyotes. He was riding. When night
came and Mr.. Wilson did not return,
his wife became frightened and spread
the alarm. A searching party left i'm
mediately for the lower end of the
park, where Mr.. Wilson had said he
would hunt. They followed trail
but soon lost 1t, as a bad storm ragged
over the park, covering tracks quick
ly. Finally the storm became SO
fierce and the cold SO severe that they
had to abandon the hunt for the
night.
Early Tuesday morning, however,
several parties of two men each re-
newed the search with the result that
about eleven o'clock the party COM
- Ga
came across the body in the open draw
in the lower end of the Park near the
Dawson cabin. He was frozen to
death. The body was taken TO the
George Howell ranch.
Mr.. Wilson, according to Frank
Heath, one of the men who found him,
had covered some of the toughest ter
ritory in the park in his hunt for coy
otes, which he had frequently done
since he moved into the park about a
year and half ago. He had tied
his horse and climbed over the cliffs
and canons, and then headed back
from the top of the ridge toward the
Dawson cabin. Broken branches and
twigs on the ground near where he
was found indicated that he had made
an unsuccessful attempt to build a
fire, and failing in this, had either
fallen or sat down. His trseks and
route of passage back to the Dawson
cabin indicated plainly that he was on
the point of exhaustion and that he
was trying to pick his way, ac-
cording to those who found him.
Mr.. Wilson, who purchased the
Bostwick park ranch from A. L. And
erson of Montrose, and who moved to
the ranch a year ago last spring, was
about 80 years old and is survived by
wife, who was Miss Shields of
California Mesa, and four-year-old
child. One of his brothers, Commo-
dore. lives at Paonia, and another
brother, Eldon, who was formerly an
insurance agent in Montrose, now re-
sides in Virginia. Another brother,
Carl, who resides at Crawford, was
blinded year ago by premature ex-
posure of dynamite caps he was try
ing to destroy.

MAKING HIS
LAST R. R. RUN
(Bv c. r. Adams in g 4 News,

(By c. f. Adams in G. J. News)
An innocent little item appearing in
a recent issue of the Hotchkiss Times
carried the information that Thomas
j. Layden, veteran engineer of the
Denver 4 Rio Grande Western raii-
road on points between Gunnison ana
Grand Junction, who has been on the
North Fork branch for a number of
years, was making his last run and
would turn his engine over to his sue
cessor at the close of the run.
had not thot of Tom Layden for
some time, but the minute my eyes
fell upon the name, recognized it as
many years ago in Gunnison, now
closing his career as railroad man
and retiring upon pension after hay-
ing served for AZ years in the employ
of one company.
Ny mind rambled back over a long
period of time when l was but lad
and Tom Layden was STRIPPING of
a young man. We lived in Gu0nison
then-Tom an employe of the railroad
and 4 newsboy; ! first knew Tom be-
cause he bought papers from me-and
l used to admire him for the reason
that he wiped" engines in the round
house there. Us boys looked up 70
the railroad boys-we were rather
jealous that we could not be railroad
men.
Tom probably commenced his ca
reer on the railroad by sweeping out
the round-house and doing other
menial labor that was furnishing the
tools for the splendid service he was
to perform in the years afterward. He
was faithful employee and he natur-
ally advanced to position Of prefer
ment. First, as fireman on the switch
engine in the yards at Gunnison, then
fireman on the road in the freight ser
vice, then engineer on a freight train.

Gunnison west, first to Grand Juncs
tion and later only to Montrose. THIS

OTIS MOORE
IS ARRA|GNEO
Takes Two Shots at
Harvey Calvin. Bound
Over for Attempted
Murder. Makes No
Statement Yet.

Otis Moore, prominent ranchman of
the Ohio Creek valley, took two shots
at Harvey Calvin, his brother-in-law,
Tuesday morning. and. though at close
range, missed both times. The first
shot grazed Calvin's knuckies at his
side and went thru the leather coat
he was wearing. The second, with
which Sheriff Hanlon and Undersher-
iff Lehan declare Moore told them
he intended to hit Calvin between the
eyes, luckily missed his head.
Moore was brot before Judge r. J..
Potter yesterday morning and bound
over TO district court on the charge of
assault with deadly weapon and
intent to commit murder, n serious Of
fense. He was also put under 81 600
peace bond, as Calvin swore on the
stand that Moore told him that If he
and his family were not of the ranch
by Tuesday next, he would kill them
all.
II seems that for some years Mr..
Calvin has been leasing the former
Ed Wylie ranch adjoining Moore on
the north, and owned by him. The
lease was renewed recently and runs
until 1927. However, the men have
had trouble before and last June en-
gagged in . fight in which fists and
rocks played part. Tuesday morn
ing Moore went up with his son, Gail,
to get sleigh in the Calvin yard.
Moore waived examination and refus-
ed to tell his side of the story, but Mr..
Calvin declares he was coming in
from the field where he had been gath
ering up crowbars, neckyokes, etc.,
and had both his arms full Of them
when Moore bsgan shooting. Ha went
into the house 10 gcts MS gun, buy il
had no ammunition. Meanwhile, Mr..
Moore held Mrs. Calvin, his sister,
under the gun, and, the latter testified,
threatened her. Mr.. Moore and his
son then hitched up the sleign and
went home. Sheriff Hanlon was mott
fed and relates that when he went TO
arrest Moore, the latter told him he
intended to "hit him between the
eyes" in the second shot, but missed.
Judge Sprigg Shackleford, assisted
by e. NJ. Nourse, conducted the case
for the state, and the defendant was
represented by Geo. Hctherington.

School Board, of which Stong labors

The letter appears herewith:
Denver. Colo, Dec. q, '23.
Mr.. George Sullivan,
Gunnison, Colorado,
Dear Sir:-
Thanks for your compliments and a
copy of News-Champion containing
President Samuel Quigley's defense of
charges preferred against him by
Budget Commissioner Harry Casaday
and myself on account of reckless dis
bursements of taxpayers money.
hereby desire to return my compli-
ments by requesting you purchase a
copy of the Gunnison Empire of De-
cember 22, containing interesting
data about President Quigley's bust
ness methods and which statement
WINS lfoIi ihS.
presume your compliments are de-
signed for sarcastic effect, and have
the pleasure, if You please, sir, to re-
ply by calling your attention to re-
cent court action in which several po-
liticans of Gunnison county, you
amongst them, were, on evidence sub
mitted by examiners from this depart
ment, indicted by the Gunnison Grand
Jury. and later on convicted in the
District Court of Gunnison County for
malfeasance in office. In addition to
this indictment, you were also indicted
for violation of the Prohibition
law, while acting in capacity
of Trustee of the Western
State College under President Quigley
whom you are now defending.
May | also call to your attention
that as soon as the affairs of. the
Western State College are settled
and that institution taken out vf the
clutches of politicians, of which you
are, am informed, one of the primary
exponents of business methods, which
control the destinies of Western
State College, | SHALL BEGIN AN
INVESTIGATION OF THE COST OF
THE GUNNISON HIGH SCHOOL
WHICH, NO DOUBT, WILL RESULT
IN ANOTHER GRAND JURY IN
VESTIGATION.
! am going to expose for benefit of
the taxpayers of the Western Slope,
and Gunnison County in particular.
the rotten political condition of Gun
nison County, after which the tax
payers have the privilege of sup
porting your political methods in di-
recting the disbursements of tax-pay-
er's money or my methods in an eff
fort to establish protection to your
tax-paying citizens.

Compliments Of the season Mr.. Sui
livan. and with further assurance that
every effort on my part to reorganize
the business efficiency Of Western
State College and indict you on other
charges soon, to be exposed, viii be
submitted to your taxpayers with
the greatest dispatch.
