Died.
AZ the Thinner HOUSE,, in Silver City.

Mrs. Hunter, whose home was az The

Mra h. J. Clayton, in this city, for med
ical trcatmenk and was considered In q
~congalescing condition when acompli-
cation suddenly arose which resulted 10

The Fort Bayard Minstrel Troupe
played an engagement az Morrill, Hall
lest Friday night and We regret 10 say
the troup was greeted by q very small
house. There was but one reserved
seat ticket sold and but el3 taken Ia &c
the box oGice. The soldier boys" put
up q very good shown fact some Of
their specially work wal Hns. Con-
siderIng that the patronage Of the poo-
pie Of Fort Bayard amounts 70 several
thousand dollars q year It seems 3 trIas
strange that our businessmen, at least,
do not manifest a greater spirit Of reci-
procity when such an opportunity il
presented. There wa one condition,
however, which operated against the
success Of the performance and that was
the fact that it was given on the night
Of the regular club dance. Had not
this condition existed the attendance at
the minstrel performances would no
doubt have been greater. Still, con-
sidering the great amount Of money
spent among ur'merchants by the Fort
people, 1t would have cost but little TO
have shown their appreciation. As il
resulted the minstrel boys were not only
out their time and efforts to entertain
our people with a good performances,
but are compelled to meet the shortage
in expenses with personal contributions
A few tickets purchased by each Of OuI
businessmen, although they might have
been given TO others or not used at all
would have helped the boys out and
shown q very good spirit towards them.
Mr.. and Mira Henry Rosenberg gave
one Of their delightful parties TO a few
friends last Wednesday evening. It
was an impromptu AFFAIR, but none the
less highly enjoyable. OF all the pleas.
ant homes in Silver City ia which d
be entertained in the most complete
sense Zone excel the R~Osenberg's. The
evening was devoted to music and dane
ing and at II o'clock q most delicious
lunch was served
William Coltnon, who is employed al
the Black-Scott mill, on Cherry creek
sustained quite a serious injury last
Wednesday afternoon through being
struck in the breast by a flying timber
DR.. Williams visited the man on Thurs
day morning and on examination found
that his injuries we're internal but die
consider them 80 serious as to result ia
death. However, it will be some time
before before Coltnon will be sound
again.
