Denuer Field and Farm
The cliff ruins OF the San Juan and the
Mancoe have been the center OF attraction,
have been viewed from all sides, and their
wonders have been told and ret0ld to the
world time and time again. Scientific
men have visited the region, have peDe-
trated southwestern Colorado and have
considered that section a place OF especial
interest, because the cliff and cave dwell
ings are probably the Oldest in this strange

has folio wed the San Juan river and gazed
with careless unconcern on the rough and
broken walls, so full OF interest to the
archaeologist.
But the mind of the prOspector has no
room for curios, and he has no time for
archaeological investigation. He sees only
the glitter of the gold in the sand, and

THE TOP HAT.

One

It's History Is an Interesting nd Long
One.
The top hat, like most other things was
not evolved in a sudden moment of inspi-
ration. says Chambers Journal. It is the
product of many centuries follies and fash
ions, and, unless we are much mistaken,
will for some time outlive the vituperation
Of those who wear it. Even so far back as
hetwelfthcenturythe the beaver was worn b
the''nobels OF the lande NETT at Clarendon"
Felt hats were known long before that,
for to st. Clement are we indebted for
their discovery-a debt which is annually
recognized in festivals still held in his
honor on November %. The topper Is
probably traceable not to this agency. but
to the subsequent dealings with the beav-
ers OF the time of the CharIeses.
The Purtans Of the reign Of Charles I
adopted lofty steeple crowns, typical per-
haps of their soaring aspirations. With
these crowns they combined brims OF Dor
tentous widths. which their best friends
could scarcely now contend were typical
Of their breadth of view. The Cavaliers,
on the other hand. by rejecting the steepIe
crown, symboliZed their less lofty princf-
piles, and by their yet broader brims adOrn-
ed with feathers typificd more wide and
worldly sympathies. So matters ran on
until the next step in their evolution was
taken in the reign of CharlesH Brims grew
broader and broader until the slightest
breath OF wind disorganized the wearer's
neadgear altogether.
A happy idea then struck some halter. for
he elaborated the device of looping. This
simple expedient gave grand opportunity
for the artistic-minded traders of the period
and there consequently ensued all sorts OF
cocks The old-fashioned low-crowned
beaver, with broad brim looped up equally
on three sides, became the cooked hat
which prevailed until comparatively re-
cent times.

lowered from a ledge hundreds OBJECT above

places in the mystic southwest where such
paintings are to be found.

HIS DEATH is A MYSTERY
William I. Bland Dies Suddenly
at the Emergency.
Found UNCONSCIOUS in IL Door way and
the Doctors Are Unnble to
Find the Cause.

J william /. Bland. twenty-four years old,
an electrician. died at Emergency Hos
p.taI last night shortly after O'Clock.
The young man had been admitted to the
hospital but a few moments before his
death. and the PHYSICIANS had been un-
aDle to diagnose his case, their entire
efforts being directed toward prulo1ging
his life.
The man died without speaking. He
was unconscious when brought in by the
ambulance From papers on his person
it was learned that his name was William
l. Bland. Beneath his name was written
the number, "1422 N. Y" At that adj
dress on New York avenue, however, he
was not known. Bland had been found
by the ambulance surgeon sitting i'll the
doorway of the Central Power Station.
on E street. between Thirteer.lnd-a-half
and Fourteenth streets. Blood was spurt-
ing from his nose nd mouth. and he was
unable to speak when placed in the wagon.
Shortly after the young man died j. 6.
Bailey, a watchman employed at the power
house. called at the hospital and Identified
the body of Bland. He said he knew the
young man slightly. and mad been in
conversation with him shortly before his
DEATH They had been talking together
IN front of the power station, and finally
Bland had said good night and turned
indoors.
He was at enc time employed by Scho-
field Bros, who had offices in the power
house. and sithough they had moved away
and at present Bland was out of employ
mcnt. he had the run Of the place, and it
was not thought strange that he should go
inside.
Mr.. Bailey walked toward the Avenue
and saw nothing more of Bland until he
was being placed in the ambulance. Mr..
William Jewel who is also employed at
the power house. saw Bland como in and
start upstairs. Ina few moments the young
man returned and came into his office. He
sat down in chair and Mr.. Jewel noticed
that he Looked very white. Suddenly Bland
struggled to his feet. and starting toward
the door said in a ohoked voice: Jewel,
believe I'm going to die"
Mr.. Je wei at once went to his assistance
and the faintng man was helped to chair
in the doorway and every effort made to
revive him. Mr.. Jewel teephoned for an
ambulance. but before it arrived Bland
had become unconscious and blood was
streaming from his mouth. As already
stated. the man died soon after reaching
the hospital.
The physicians stated last night that the
mans death pre- badly resulted from nat
ural causes, but they could not a S yet state
the exact ailment A citing Coroner Glaze
brock was notified and will hold an autopsy
at the hospital this morning.

Herr Richter added that he well knew
that the house wutid refuse his motion,
but as matter 8f principle he would
