The Colorado Springs Gazette final

BACK PAGES

IN 1922

Marriages are all right and Rev. T. C. Collister has no objection – at least he hadn’t until yesterday morning when there came a ring at the doorbell of his home. Getting into a wrapper, Dr. Collister glanced at his watch to see it was 2:30 a.m., and opened the door far enough to admit Miss Olive Winchell and Orville Lee Spencer. The ceremony was performed in the wee small hours of the morning.

IN 1947

When people insist on setting up an overnight automobile camping place in North Cheyenne canon, C.C. Howe, caretaker of the canon, objects. The other night when he objected, a would-be camper drew a .45 caliber revolver and defied Howe to do anything about it. The motorist eventually departed.

IN 1972

Six soldiers won over $900 at Fort Carson this week during the quarterly Mechanics’ and Drivers’ Rodeo.

Allen, Sec. 4 S. M. Eggers, Spc. 5 D. R. Shyrock, Staff Sgt. E. Yelladawy and Sgt. E. E. Killian.
