Three men of diverse back
grOund-One Of them destined TO
an end which still challenges the
/ curiosity of histOrians-are credit
ed In recently unearthed dOcu-
ments with the first recorded
/ discovery Of gold in the Rocky
mountains.
Chauncey Thomas, research worker
for the Colorado historical society, says
the documents indicate that in 1854
1t may have been a year or so earlier
"a thick-chested immigrant named
John Davey and two white men he had
rescued from slavery by the Indians,
found themselves in uneXplored coun-
try. studded by bald, aloof peaks, near
what is now Breckenridge, Colo.
Isaac Stuart In Party
One of Davey's companions was
youthful Isaac Stuart, one time
Pitt now Pittsburgh whom the
Welshman had bought from Indians
in Ohio or Indiana. Thomas adds In
yater years Stuart became a respected
st. Louis merchant.
The third member Of the party was
a young Spaniard of unknown name
whom Davey purchased with a hand
full of trinkets from a band Of In
dams in the territory later called
OOiOIdQO.
The three men came to Colorado,
on a trapping expedition, Thomas re-
lates, and followed the Arkansas river
to a point where 1t comes out Of a
hole in the rock"-which Thomas iden-
titles as the Royal gorge.
Colorado historical records show that
the men crossed a range of mountains
and halted at spot where the waters
run west" and there found gold. The
only water in the vicinity Is the Blue
river, and from research Thomas con-
cludes the gold was discovered on the |
river at a point 60 miles southwest by |
airline from the present site Of Denver. |
Trapping Main Interest
The men, records indicate, were In |
terested in trapping rather than gold |
mining and did nothing with their |
discovery.

WARTIME BUDDIES
MEET in HELENA
ONE OF THEM MINISTER NOW
BUT HE WASN'T THEM"
SAYS OTHER

It is commonly said that no
matter where one goes, someone
who "I1new him when" always
shows up. So it was with the Rev.
e.. L. Garvin of st. Andrews Pres
byterian church at Lethbridge,
Alta, Canada, who went to Helena
TO speak from the pulpit of the
Rev. Chester f. Whittier, minister
of the First Presbyterian church,
in an international goodwill ex-
change of pastors.
The man who knew the Rev. Mr..
Garvin when" is William F. Herald
of the Montana Power Co. at Helena,
who shook his head waggishly when
he remarked that Mr.. Garvin wasn't
any minister then"
The two served together in the 43d
Cameron Highlanders of Canada on
the western front during the World
war And, by the way, both know Capt.
G.. H Murray Of the Salvation Army
of Helena, who served with an engi-
neer corps Of the Canadian forces and
several times was in charge of work
details which numbered Mr.. Garvin
and Mr. Herald in their personnel.
Mr.. Herald, better known to his
many friends as plain "Bill", went
overseas in May, 1915, and served there
until the war ended. Mr.. Garvin made
the same trip in February, 1916, but
he did not get to the front until June
of that year when he went up with
requirements for the AID Camerons.
1t was Bill Herald who met the re-
placement detail at the railhead in
France and guided it into the front
lines Of the Ypres salient, where "all
hell had broken loose" as Bill put
it, Both Of them went through that
hell" and many more before the
Armistice was signed.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Nazi
Germany has taken control Of

story.
Under vivid headlines the En-
quirer charged Germany with VIC

The article, spread through five
full pages ard illustrated with

JAP SOLDIERS
RUSSIANS

MOSCOW, Aug. is Q.NSO.-Be-
lief that further fighting between
Soviet and Japanese troops will
occur along the Siberian-ManchU-
kuoan border was heightened today
by an official Russian charge that
NipponeSe troops had violated the
Changkuteng truce.
Renewal of the Changkufeng
Hill hosti.ities within a few hours
after they ceased last week was
narrowly averted, it was stated, ~
means Of a sharp Russian diplo
matte protest.
The Moscow foreign office as,
serted that following cessation of
hoStilities last Thursday the Japa-
nese forces advanced about ITO
yards Gin direct violation Of the
truce agreement" approaching
within nine or ten yards Of the
Russian lines.
japanese commanders, said the
communicate, rejected Soviet de
mands that they withdraw to the
point they had started from, and
agreed tn fail back less than 80
yards.
Thereupon, Soviet Foreign Com
miSsar Maxim LitVinov protested
to Japanese Ambassador Mamoru
Shigemitsu and warned that the
U. S. S. R. would consider the
peace agreement violated unless
the Japanese fell back to their
starting point.
Finally the Nipponese envoy
yielded to Litvinov'S demand anc
the japanese troops, on order;
from Tokyo, withdrew the full dis
lance.
The communique also indicated
another source of Russo-JapaneS'
friction, stating that Japanes'
officers who negotiated at Chang
kufeng with Soviet military rep
resentatives refused to sign map
of an agreement fixing the pos
ton of the opposed troops.
This accord was aimed at pre-
venting any new outbreak of wal
fare while a mixed commission
seeks to demarcate the disput
border area.

read from the documents he pre-
scented to the committee. He first
cited letter written by Anthony
Ucello, who resigned as president
of Local 232, American Hardware
Corporation, New Britain, Conn.
UcelloS letter, dated october IL,
1887, said:
In the beginning it was my
belief that 1 had joined a bona
fide American labor organiza-
ton, but have since awakened
to the fact that the CLIO has on
its pay roll Soviet agents hired
to betray American laboring
men and women.
The Communist party of New
Britain brought the CLIO here.
1 am convinced that it had some
purpose in mind in doing so.
STOPPED RED PAPER
For the first six weeks of the
CLIO organization drive for men,
berS, they expended money to
start the movement until a
member of the Communist
party was put on the pay roll
as a full-fledged CLIO.
"A week after I became preSi-
dent 1 was shocked to find that
1 was the recipient of the Com
munist Daily Worker received
this paper for a period of Is
days until I put an end to re-
ceiving it. This is further proof
that the CLIO is working hand
finland with the Communist
party to betray the American
people.
"At one of our meetings a few
weeks ago the speaker for the
evening was none other than
the great Connecticut agitator
and Communist, DR.. Emily Pear
son, of Cromwell. This is more
proof that the Communists are
trying to build a Soviet America.
SUGGESTED RED SCHOOL
"At a State meeting I at
tended recently had the misfor-
tune to meet a CLIO organizer
for office workers in New Haven,
who tried to sell me the idea of
holding a Communist school in
my home"
Ucello said that he approved the
Endorsement by Gov. Cross of Con
necticut Of the fight Of the A. F.
Of L. against the CLIO.
Bad blood between the Dies com
mittee and the La Toilette Civil
Liberties Committee was threat
ened as a result of Frey's charge
that Communists have aided L.

Interrupting the hearings, Rep

Assurances Quiet
Fears in Other
Countries
By KINGsBURY SMITH

LONDON, Aug. Is 0.N.SO-Un
easiness in Czechoslovakia over
the German military maneuvers is
growing rapidly, according to re.
ports in London today. British
and French statesmen remained
alert for trouble.
All signs pointed to a warning of
the weekend war scare that
rocked Europe in most capitals ex-
Icept Prague. Despite the huge
scale of the Reich war games,
most diplomatic circles firmly de-
Clined to exaggerate their poll
ical Importance.
DUCE GIVES ADVICE
1t was believed that one reason,
for the better feeling in London
and Paris was report that
Marshal Italo Balbo, on a visit to
Germany, h a d transmitted to
Chancellor Hitler the advice of
Premier MuSSolini against taking
any sudden, drastic action.
London morning newspapers,
however, reported that Czecho-
slovakia is tense with fear, despite
assurances from Berlin that the
German military maneuvers are
no more significant that any
other war games.
Citing the renewed nervousness,
the News Chronicle attributed it
in part to a Rome announcement
that Italy is ready to close all
Alpine passes along her northern
border in the event of an emer-
gency.
CZECHS ON GUARD
This paper also pointed to
Prague reports that 100000 Ger
man soldiers are massed in Ger
many's GlatZ county on the west
ern border of CzechoSlovakia,
ready to play a special role during
the Reich maneuvers, opening to-
day.
