his appendix took up too much room,
so he went over to the hospital to part

Bert Warner was taken to Salida,
suffering with badly broken leg. He
rode down from Crested Butte on the
snow plow the other day, and thinking
he could save long walk from the
depot to his home, jumped on as the
train was passing the corner OF the
street nearest to town. He says
never again.

thesia yesterday and dislocated his
