Clarence II. Mackay, who had

arrived at his office, in big limousine

At o'clock in the afternoon, that
unfortunate messenger boy came in

And Mackay pounded on his desk.
He startled the unfortunate messenger
boy almost into nervous prostration.
He slammed down the top of his

WAKING WARM

technicalities, the cocktail court mar

adjourned late today with the an
nouncement that a short session to-
morrow and an undetermined number
of sessions next week would be re-
ouired to wind up the colonels trial
on a charge of appearing drunk in
Coronado hotel on the night of March
6.
The chief features of the days tes-
timony was the fact that most OF 1t
was stricken out after it was given
or averted just before it was about
to be given, the court Withdrawing
question after question on the obJec-
ton of the defense and the advice OF
the Judge advocate.
Some of the testimony later strlck-
en- from the record was given by
Captain Charles Rice, assistant to
General Buffers chief of staff.
He related in minute detail all he
saw on the night of March begin
ming with the dinner at Colonel Will
liams' home, in honor of General But
Ter.
Captain Rice said the cocktails
served at the colonePs home that
night could not possibly have intoxi-
Gated anyone there.
$50 when [ saw him at the hotel,
apparently intoxicated, could hardly
believe it."
The argument over Rice's testi-
mony resulted in the striking out of
several portions of it, including what
he thought the colonel might have
done, or what might have happened
TO the colonel if he had driven to
the hotel in his own car instead OF
riding in Rice's.

the oldest man in Pueblo if not in
the state, was taken to the Santa Fe
railroad hospital at Lajunta, Colo,
following sudden collapse.

only a distant cousin who resides here.

city who have known Bruen for many
years that he is between 108 and 1lO
years old. His appearance is that OF
a centenarian and his history as far
as can be traced, bears out this age.
DR.. r. b. Dibble, who treated Bruen
and sent him to the hospital, stated
tonight that while he cannot posi-
lively establish the old mans age,
as far as can be discovered he is 108
or 110 years old.
Bruen's condition is much improved
and his illness is not considered Sc
rious by the doctor He has been u
pensioner of the Santa Fe for many
years.

He is inclined, however, TO looh
