TURNER'S TUMBLE.
A Son Of s. II. Davis Receives = Ter.
rible Fall.

The news was not long in spread
ing last Tues day that Turner Davis,
the nine-ycar-old son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
S. NJ. Davis, had fallen over the rocks
at the soda springs. Turner Is one
Of the most adventuresome and dar-
ing boys of his age in CsIlon and Will
undertake what larger boys or even
men would not dare. Tuesday, just
before noon, he had climbed up the
almost perpendicular precipice at the
soda springs and ventured out upon
a point estimated to be fully seventy
five feet above the ground. While
there he lost his balance and fell back
wards down the nearly perpendicu-
lar wall of ragged rock About
thirty feet from where he lost his
balance there is slight ledge of rock
sticking out from the main wall and
upon this he struck his head bounded
off and some distance further down
struck again, then plunged to the
bottom and partially into the big
here, witnessed the terrible fall and
fastening to the ditch found Turner
living with the back of his head in
the water, face above the surface and
the rest of his body upon the bank.
Mr.. Lewis lost no time in getting
him out aud taking him to the resi-
dence OF DR.. Dawson, opposite the
court house, where it was found that
the skull had been terribly broken
little to the left of the center of the
head. The fracture running across
was about two inches in length while
another one of irregular shape ran
from the outer point of the first al
most around and down the back of
the skull nearly to the inner point of
the first fracture. The outer skull
crushed down through the inner in
one place and piece has been taken
out about one inch square. The boy
was badly bruised upon other por-
tions of his body but no other bones
were broken. lie has never been en-
tircly unconscious and is now lying
at the home OF his parents with an
excellent prospect of entirely recov-
erins.

GOTHIC CITY. Aug. 2sih, 1881.
To The Editor of the RECORD.
The Canon City RECORD, the well
come visitor, is received this week,
and has many interesting topics. /
am much gratificd to learn that our
honorable town board has concluded
to lay the much needed sidew alks
This will make our town more pleas
ant and convenient to our citizens
and great attraction to strangers
and no doubt will be the means of
many new citizens. l very strongly
approve of the suggestion made by
the RECORD that the nonresident
lots be assessed to build sidewal S
and set out shade trees. There are
many holding those lots at high fig
ures or will not sell at any price,
waiting for the town 10 build up
around them to enhance the value of
the properly that they will not lay
out dollar upon. 1t is no more
many are laying out thousands of
dollars to improve the town, w hich
enhances the valne of vacant loys. that
while they receive equal benefits they
should be taxed.
1 am also much pleased to learn
that our college interests are pro-
crossing SO well. l desire to see il n
success, which believe il will be. 1
am graiiiied to learn that the COM
mittee has secured rooms in the court
house for temporary school. l con-
slider this college to be one of our
strongest levers for building up our
town.
We are having much more rain this
season than common We had a
water spout, or cloud burst, which
hindercd my reaching town on time.
The mining interest are progressing
steadily, though there are not SO
many people here as there was last
year, but l think much more perma-
ncnt work is being done this year.
The probabilities are that next year
will be much better than this, as we
shall have a railroad close by. am
about through with my annual work.
Would soon be ready to return to
Canon but am being delayed waiting
for the arrival of the monument and
iron fence for my wife's grave.
Yours Truly,
S. BRADBURY.

Malone ms an Investigator.

Says the Lynchburg News un-
der this head: 1t is stated that
Senator Malone Will introduce a
resolution directing the commit
tee on finance Of the Senate to in
quire whether any State Of the
Union has repudiated, or attempt
ed to repudiate, any Of its bonded
debt, and whether any Of the
trust funds invested by the Uni
ted States in bonds have been
lost Or impaired by the action Of
any State. The object Of Mr..
Malone in this course is said to
be to get back" at some Of his
colleagues from the Southern
States who have visited Virgin ia
to denounce the Readjusters, and
who have been so solicitous for
the "honor' of that State. He
will see that particular attention
is paid to North and South Caro-
lima; as Hampton and Vance were
specially invited to stump Nir-
ginia against him by the funder
committee. South Carolina has,
it is stated, scaled a debt Of six
teen millions down to less than
four, and North Carolina has gone
still further IN the "Readjusting'
line,

Iowa is the staunchest Republi
can State in the Union. There is

it is a typical State, has had little.
Mr.. Hatton has made his way up

aided eXertions, starting as a
printers boy, becoming in his
early manhood one of the most
respected political leaders in his
State, and building up and own
ing one Of the most successful
newspapers in the Northwest. AS
a newspaper man he is entitled
to the good will Of the press, and
as an earnest and sincere Repub.
lican wise in council and efficient
in action, he deserves. the respect
and confidence Of all Republi-
cans. The holding up and man
agement of a successful newspa-
per is as good a preparation for
the successful management Of the
Postollice Department as any man
could have.
