The South Park & Alpine Toll road
from Gunnison City to the western
terminus of the South Park R. R., via
Pitkin and Williams Pass, is many
miles shorter than any other road
from the Gunnison country to rail-
road connection and the best graded
road on the Continental Divide. San

this route making close connection

and Pacific railroad for Buena Vista,

Denver and all points east of the dis

than via any other route. These ad-
vantages with the added ones of the
finest equipment in Colorado, good
eating houses, Pullman sleepers and

road IS being pushed westward through

Several Mexicans were in camp at
the mouth of Memphis creek, Utah,
and were lying about the fire, when
one of them, TeIestoro Crucas, saw
large centipede, fully niDe inches long
travelling slowly over his leg. Know
ing that the least motion would make
it sink its deadly claws into his skin,
without moving his leg he got out his
revolver and waited until the beast
had almost reached his knee, when
slowly putting the mouth Of the pistol
TO his head he pulled, and the cent?
pede was gone. But a centipede's
claws are quicker than gun-powder,
and Crucas began to have cramps in
few minutes. The track of the reptile
along his leg turned brownish yell
low, and the place where it was killed
swelled frightfully. He rapidly grew
worse, and in a little over four hours
died in great agony. The most singu-
lar part of the story is that the bullet
from Crucase's pistol cut small nick
in the fore leg of a mule that was teth-
cred near by, and at day light next
morning the mule was also dead, with
its leg So swollen that the skin had
burst in several places.

With success-Building and Buitd-

Whom Dedication Next Monday.
One night in July, 1873, four com.
mittees from az many different secret
societies, Masons, Odd Fellows, Red Men
and Knights. of Pythias, met in the old
Town Hall, of New Castle. They met as
they had been doing for weeks, with
special Object IN view to decide how tn
fit up and repair the venerable building
30 that it would serve the purpose of a
ne cent joint meeting place for the respec
tive lodges which they represented. All
agreed that some repairs were necessary
but they disagreed about the details ard
the amount of money to be expended.
The meeting broke up as others had
done before it, and several committeeman
mended their homeward way up Delaware
street in the moonlight. Stopping on the
northeastern corner of Vine and Delaware
streets, William Herbert, who was on
the Odd Fellows committee said, pointing
across the street, There il u pood
property which can be bought under
80, 900 that would make an excellent site
for new hall II your lodge" ad ires4.

ing 100 feet on the former and running
back to depth OF 125 feet on the latter
street. The former owner was Mark NJ.
Cleuver, OF Wilmington.
Upon the corner of the lot stood and
still stands an old two story brick building,
painted yellow, occupied now al the New
CASTLE post office IL was decided to build
the hall on the eastern portion of the lot
and preparations looking to it's erection
were soon begun.
Ia NIL this William Herbert naturally
took the lead and pushed obstacles out OF
the way with a determination that did rot
contemplate the possibility of failure
Oroakers, of whom there are some still left
in New CASTLE, though very few compared
with the New CASTLE of 30 years ago,
predicted that the undertaking would fall
through; that the lodges could not raise
the funds to build, that New Castle could
not support good hall and many similar
forebodings. But, with such man AS
William Herbert there WAS no reason to
apprehend any financial difficulties and,
though only $4,000 were wanted from
outside parties he could have obtained
SlO0, 600 if necessary.
Early in the summer of 1879 plans and
specjfieations for the nav huildinp ware
