Subject: Colorado, September 1917

Greetings Mike [Malone? -ebk],

   Here, as promised, is the 1917 Colorado clipping.

Here is a report from the Salida, Colorado DAILY MAIL
7 September 1917, Friday, Page 1.

LOOK ONCE!  LOOK TWICE!  SEE IT?

AIRSHIP OR AIRSHIPS SPY US

    E. C.  Newby and Cal Brown motored to Pueblo Sunday to
visit the Saldia boys at Camp Gunter, returning yesterday.
They decided the boys were all in good spirits but the
principal excitment was over the nightly appearance of an
unusual light, which is suspected of being a new style of
air craft.

   The light also has been seen in Salida by several people
and opinion is divided as to whether it is the Pike's Peak
searchlight or a strange flyer.

   Some of the Salida obsevers say the light is of various hues
and appears in different parts of the skies.

   Some saw the light in two places at the same time, which is a
reminder of the sea yarn about the old ship captain who was
sitting in a tavern by the seashore drinking with his son.  He
cautioned his about drinking too much and remarked that it was
easy to tell when had too much because objects appeared double.

   "For instance," said the captain, looking over the bay, "there
are two mast yonder.  Now, if I should see four masts, I would
know it was time form me to stop drinking."

    "But Father," interrupted the youth.  "I see only one mast."
