Win. C. Stendel, postmaster at
Platoro, writes particulars of the
death of Fred Wilker to Coroner
MeCunniff. Mr. Stendel says he
visited the Wilker cabin, which is
alniut two miles from his own, Dec.
10, and found Mr. Wilker well ex
cept for a cold and hoarseness.
The mail carrier passing about 7:45
on the evening of the 13th saw
smoke coming from the chimney.
The morning of the 14tli, Mr.
Stendel again visited the cabin
and found the dead body of Mr.
Wilker. partially dressed, lying
across the bed. Then* were no
marks on the body to indicate foul
play nor tracks in the snow around
the cabin. Money and other other
articles were undisturbed hence it
was concluded that death was due
to natural causes. Others who
ascribed to the opinion were Geo.
| Wilker, brother of deceased, and
, Win. C. Martin. Mr. Wilker was
j 64 years old and was born in Ger
; many. He was one of the oldtime
prospectors of the San Juan range

takes greater pride in the progress
and well being of his community
than Dan E. Newcomb of La .Tare,

He is always ready to spend his
time when it will get another pro
gressive settler, somebody who will
toil and produce to swell the vol

E. Sloan reported to the board of
trade that the San Luis Valley
Beet Sugar Co. would pay as much
for beets f. o. b. Durango as they
paid near the factory and suggested
a test of 500 acres of beets before
attempting to build a factory The
