DENVER, Colo., May M.—Tq a little
wooded knell close by the placid Platte
river near here came men, women and
children today to pay respects to man’s
'“one absolutely unselfish friend.”
From all walks of life they were, busi-
nese men, house-wives, grimy urchins-
but all were united in Memoriel Day
remembrance of the dog.
Flowers, principally wild ones picked
in nearby fields, were piled high on
many of the grave* in Denver’s unique
dog cemetery there on the banks of the
Platte, a burial ground admittedly one
of the moot attractive near the city.
Three hundred white stone markers,
some elaborate and some plain, told the
names and dates of that number of
faithful pets buried since the cemetery
was opened in 101*.
Upon it was ehisled the famous
eulogy to the dog made by Senator Vest
during a jury trial. Vest's tribute
"X x x the eno absolutely unselfish
friend that a man can have in thio eel-
fish world, the one that never leaves
him and the one that never proves un-
grateful ia his dog.
Aad Eyed. Maay Mourn.
Little groups of sad-eyed mourners,
chiefly children, came from time to time
to read the inseription and then walk
gravely to one or another of the little
plots where their own pets were buried.
Two or three of the graves were deco-
rated with floral wreaths, obviously
products of the florists shill.
But for ths most part ths flowers
consisted of violets, daisies and others
of the bright spring blossoms which
abound in Denvers parks and gardens.

Two robber* brimmng over with eour-
tesy and politenes» were still at large
and jewelry valued at between $50,000
and $100,000 was in their ~<io»eo*ion.
But Livermote, whose o • tions in
the »te*k market frequently have ere-
ated financial history, retained valua-
ble* worth more than those stolen. And
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Aronsohn, his
guests, also had received unusually kind
treatment from the intruders.
Before down Sunday the two bur-
glar arrived at the Livermore home in
a stolen motor oar. They climbed a
ladder to the room in which Ahonsohs
and hie wife slept.
“No more ef that. Just keep quiet,
P>ea*e, stay in bod and you went be
hurt," came the order aa the Aronsohn*
awakened.
Then the burglar* ransacked the
room. From time to time one would
apologise for the inbonvenience and
when it was learned the Aronsohns were
guest*, a robber returned $2 of 3200 to
Arensohn.
The intruders locked the Aronsons
in their room, climbed down the ladder
and made another ascent to the room
of the Livermores.
Guests Allowed to Dress
They were ordered to get up and the
burglars decently averted their face*
while the millionaire and his young
wife arose and hastily denned dress-
ing gowns.
The Livermores turned over their jew.
elry. The uninvited guests profusely
begged pardons of their unwilling hosts
and assured them of safety.
Mr*. Livermore was emboldened to
ask return of a $25,000 sapphire ring,
“which is very dear to me.” After some
eonversation, the burglar* gave it to her
and alio returned a 540,000 sapphire
ring to Livermore. Then they thrust
into her hand* Mr*. Aronsohn’s 34,000
wrist watch.
The robber* apparently knew the de-
signs of the house and two theories
were advanced that they were sons of
aeguaintances of Livermore who do.
