DIES IN STORM
DR. RANDOLPH OF UNIVERSITY
OF COLORADO PERISHES ON

MOUNTAIN HIKE.
GOMPANION ESCAPES
STORM IN MOUNTAINS WORST IN
YEARS FOR THIS SEASON,
IS REPORT.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Boulder, Colo., April 13. —Dr. Ran
dolph and Ellett left Boulder Friday
afternoon for the North Arapahoe peak
and the western slope of the conti
nental range.
They desired to get some pictures
of winter scenes and to duplicate the
font of a group of students, headed by
Greenmail, who made the ascent about
three weeks ago. They were warned
against the trip by Green man because
of storm conditions. They spent Fri
day night at the Adair cabin, two miles
west of Eldora.
A storm that was one of the worst
of the winter, broke Saturday noon and
continued until nearly noon Sunday
morning.
From the information that Adams
could gain from Ellett the two men
were caught in the Arapahoe pass and
spent Saturday night in a “pup” tent.
In returning Sunday they lost their
way and wandered over the mountains
until dark, when they again pitched
tent. Dr. Randolph was nearly ex
hausted and died some time in the
night. >
Realizing that assistance must lie ob
tained, Ellett started down the cafion
and met Adams about half way be
tween Hie Fourth of July mine and the
Adams cabin. The trapper gave El
lett the keys of the cabin and started
isut to find Randolph.
"I attempted to follow Ellett’s
tracks,” said Adams over * the tele
phone from Eldora, “but found that he
had been wandering around in circles.
L then proceeded to the head of the
pass, where I found one of the pack
and footprints indicating that they had
tried to walk in the snow without their
skis.
“I followed these tracks until 1
found Randolph. He was wrapped in
a blanket and, from all appearances,
had been dead for hours. It was 9:45
o'clock in the morning when I found
him. I then proceeded hack to the
cabin, where I attended to Ellett. After
he had gone to sleep, I walked to El
dora to obtain medical aid.”
Dr. Randolph was a graduate of the
Missouri School of Mines of Rolla,
Mo., and of the University of Illinois.
He received a doctor of philosophy de
gree from the latter institution in the
spring of 1916. The following year he
came to the University of Colorado as
an instructor in physics. His ability
soon gained recognition for him and
he was promoted to he associate pro
fessor.
His former wife, who recently ob
tained a divorce in the County Court
in Denver on the ground of cruelty
and was given custody of their son,
lives in Kansas City.
Ellett’s home is at Browning, Mo.
He is a senior student at tlit* Univer
st iv of Colorado and an assistant in
the physics department.

Narrow Escape on Elevated.
New York. —Passengers on an ele

to the street, a distance of twenty-five
feet, in the midst of debris of the car.
The car was knocked off tiie elevated
structure on the Ninth avenue line by
a collision with another train and de
molished. The wreckage was wedged
in between the elevated structure and
the side of a brick building a dozen
feet away. The fifteen passengers
sifted through debris to the street aud
about a dozen were removed to hos
pitals. The only woman in the car was
seriously hurt.
To Prosecute Government Fraud.
Washington. —Criminal prosecutions

national army cantonments, have been
demanded in a report to tlu* House by

penditures committee.
FOUND CAROS WERE MARKED
Revelations That Came as a Shock to
Wounded Soldiers in Hospital
at Washington.
Here Is a melancholy story about
“markers.”
“Markers are marked playing cards
so that he who plays may read the
backs of the cards. Wounded soldiers
under treatment in the Walter Reed
hospital in Washington play cards
continually. They use decks which
are given to the hospital, not new
decks, but those which have been
used once by Washington clubs, espe
cially bridge whist clubs of women in
society.
Keen-eyed soldiers, as the story now
goes, were surprised to discover one
day that some of the cards were
marked by small knife point indenta
tions on the border of the back. The
marking was not accidental.
Scrutiny showed that the high cards
—eight spot up to ace—were carefully
marked. The marks were so faint as
to be almost imperceptible, but a per
son familiar with them could read the
backs.
Immediately there was a search for
the card marker, for the soldiers may
gamble a bit now and then —officially
they don’t, but actually they—well,
it’s nobody’s business if one wounded
buck private wishes to wager another
wounded buck private that his five
cards beat t’other chap’s five cards.
Anyhow, if somebody was marking
cards in the hospital the boys
wished to talk to him. But investiga
tion revealed —and this is where the
hospital soldiers were shocked —that
whatever marking was done took
place before the cards arrived at the
hospital. Not all decks were marked,
only a deck now and then.
The inference seems to be that
somebody in Washington club life,
woman’s club life at that, is gracious
ly giving the wounded soldiers once
used card decks which have somehow
been knife-pointed. The war veterans
say that they have been shell shocked
and otherwise startled, but they are
vastly amazed at a phase of society
life in Washington.
Probably First Moving Pictures.
America is not the original home of
the moving picture. This assumption
is disproved by an apparatus of an
cient Siamese civilization recently re
discovered. The apparatus consists of
a number of ancient movie machines
unearthed at the National museum in
New York, where they had been hid
den away in boxes since their pre
sentation to this country by the king
of Siam in 1875.
The cinematic art as practiced hun
dreds of years ago In Siam was car
ried on as follows: The proper num
ber of figures, designed from leather
by hand, were mounted on rods and
projected on the screen by the hand of
the operator. The screen was a white
cloth hung between the audience and
the light. The shadows were manip
ulated by the operator’s pushing the
manikins along in a trough. As
action advanced through climax and
anti-climax, the operator recited in a
singsong voice five-reel dramas of the
love and wrongs of the kings and
queens represented.
Belgrade Hit Hard by War.
Belgrade, the capital of Serbia and
Jtigo Slavia, is now a mere shell of its
former self. The Serbs used to be re
markably proud of their metropolis.
Did they not possess a city with first
class hotels, electric cars, a boulevard,
good shops and all other modern con
veniences, not to mention a profusion
of the coffee houses and gardens so
dear to the heart of the Serb?
The coffee houses of Belgrade are
more of an institution than the tavern
ever was in London. A cupful of black,
coffee in a public garden, a military
band playing the weird Slavic songs,
and the young people dancing the old
folk dances on the grass—these repre
sent the height of contentment to the
Serb after a day’s work.
Got Off Easy.
Mr. Justwed —Yes, I’m terribly an
gry. I merely criticised the biscuits
Ethel made and she hit me with one
of them.
His Mother-In-Law —Foolish boy;
you got off easy. Her father ate one
of my first batch.
Scanty Equipment.
“Shakespeare had no scenery worth
mentioning.”
“And he had no press agent either."
said Mr. Stormington Barnes. “Other
wise there would have been no linger
ing doubt as to who wrote the plays."
Girls Will Be Girls.
“And your visit to the sljiras?”
“Was distressing. I saw so many
women with black eyes.”
“Well, they’re the style down there.
Yot: can’t blame the women for wear
ing ’em.” —Louisville Courier-Journal.
