Describe a Ni est Aready Travel la tkt Wast June,*), 1922. Dear Father and Mother: Now for the long tale. We left Alamota Tuesday morning at 6:14 Just fifteen minutes before we left a man we kn^r jffom Dighton came running argapUtK^house with a big colt revolver. ""Three bandits had tried to rob one of the banks at Dighton and the burglar alarm went off. This man with others in a car followed the bandits and they tipped over. One of them must have been badly hurt judging from the blood around the car. They got away and must have hid in the hills. The man from Dighton told uncle to watch out for them so that they wouldn't try to get on the train. They found a bag of pennies, so they must have robbed another bank. From Alamota we rode to Great Bend, where we caught a train to Dodge City. There we looked around the town and boarded a train for Pueblo, Colo., at 9:55 at night. Rode all night in a day coach. Arrived in Pueblo at 5:20 a. m. Didn't see much there. We got on a train at 9:45 a. m. for Colorado Springs. Got rooms at the Y. W. C. A. Lots of tourists here. It is a very pretty town and we can see Pike's Peak from our window. We took a long circle trip yesterday, 165 miles, thru Canon City, where we went thru the penitentiary and saw all of the prisoners and their cells, the dining room and -jfcakcry, where they work, also the hospital. They also make many pretty curios. There are so many pretty souvenirs all over. From Canon City we drove up to the Royal <lorge. Had lunch there among the rocks and under the trees. F^om there we drove to Vitor and stopped at the Elks' house. The house contained many pretty elks' heads and two full sized elk. They had a fire in the fire place which has been on for three years. We drove among the gold mines and near Goldfield town. There is only one mine there that they will let you thru, but was not opened. w. J. DONAVIN Phone 65-J West McHenry, It!. nHi.ii.il to you. I wonderful how the ftariiied into the stagnine, etc. Sunday we hiked up the North Cheyenne canon and Cheyenne mountain with one of our room mates, Mrs. Brad field. She is very nice and we have a circus with her. It surely was some hike to the top. It took us just three hours to go four miles, but remember we were going up hill all the time. We were 12,000 feet above the sea level when we reached the top. The scenery from HJiere was beautiful. Then we ate our dinner which we had with us. Then with another party, consisting of a® boy, age fourteen, two sisters and a cousin and their dad, we climbed up a very steep incline to see a prospector's abandoned cave where he must have been looking for gold long ago. The going down was very easy as all we had to do was dig in our heels and slide down. This party then told us we could ride back to Colorado Springs with them and we went back a different way. Talk about your steep roads down the mountains. David drove the car all the time and he surely is some driver. They asked us to go to the Garden of the Gods and point out different objects there to them, which we gladly did, as you don't syee them unless you have a guide to point them out to you. We surely had a great time there. We climbed into another cave in one of the big rocjss near the entrance, but we didn't go very far as there was water in it some where way back. * Then David climbed way up on top of this large rock and Frances, Alice and I only went about one-half way up, as it was very hard going and there were not many places where you could hang on or Jfind footing. Today FmnceS; Alice; Mrs, Bradfield and I hired four horses and went for a three hour ride. We had a great time. We were kind a scared- of the horses at first because they were a little frisky, but were fine after we got used to them. ' We washed and packed up this afternoon as we are leaving for Denver in the morning. Have seen everything here there was to see. Well I must close as I have my diary to write yet. Don't think we will be more than three days in Denver. Elsie.

The trip cost us nine dollars a piece The driver was very jolly and we asked for the same one for today. We started at 8:30 for Pike's Peak. Cost us $4.00 each and $2.00 each for toll at the beginning of the drive. Thirty miles up and a lovely trip riding thru the clouds.

When we got started to go down a big hail storm came up and we drove thru it about three miles. Filled our laps and it looked like tapioca. Then it rained a little. We had fun throwing snow balls at the driver. Took several pictures. The last fifteen miles it poured nun. We picked forget-me-nots up 9 at 12,000 feet. Frances. Colorado Springs, July 3, 1922.

J. get much time to write letters. Frances told you about our circle drive and Pike's Peak I believe so I will continue with the story. Saturday we took a street car to Stradfort park, from there we hiked up to the Seven Falls. They surely are great. We went thru South Cheyenne canyon, which is also very pretty Hunt Jackson's grave. (She is a great writer or rather was). Her grave is just a large pile of rocks. We took one off and put two others on according to the custom. It was raining a little and we looked all over for a cave to hide in, but since none could be found we beat it down the mountain side. We surely did go some. Finally we got under a great pine tree, where we ate dinner. On the way to the grave we met a man from Woodstock. Don't remember his name. He was the first person we met from so near home. Then we followed it mountain stream for quite a ways. On our way home in just a little ways we passed seven falls. The driver with whom we were making our trips came along and gave us a ride back to town. We got back at 2:00 b'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Warrington and daughters, • Gladys and Doris, were Chicago visitors last Saturday and Sunday.

They put their head gear on us and we had our pictures taken with them. They had on all their regalia. Dropping Fay's throw, with two down in the fifth inning of last Sunday's game at Wilmot paved the way to a one-sided victory for the Badger state team. The error referred to was committed by McHenry's first sacker, M. Meyers. It is very seldom that Meyers drops a thrown ball, but it just seems, that something had to take place to mar our chances of winning. The error referred to just seemed to unnerve Nelson as well as the entire infield and before the McHenry gang was able to check the onslaught of the opposing willow wfelders seven of the enemies had crossed the counting station. Three more runs were gathered in during the contest, which brought Wilmot's total to ten, while McHenry had to be content with three runs, one of which was counted on Fay's home run' and another by "Bobby" Knox, who made the circuit on a belt that should not have been good for more than two sacks. Edgar, of the Wilmot team, pitched a neat article of ball, keeping the hits well scattered. McHenry, besides making a number of bad errors, also exhibited some very poor base, running, a department in which the team has been very weak all season. Nelson, for McHenry, pitched a fairly good game, altho the Wilmot gang hit the old hoss-hide hard and often. Those who witnessed the game declare that Fay, who covered short for McHenry, was kept quite busy picking hot grounders up out of the dust, tho the three other infielders didn't have so much to do. McHenry presented a changed lineup for this occasion. G. Meyers was shifted from second to third, Fay was on short and Winkel guarded the keystone sack, Rossinkn was not in the line-up.
