association To act the part of critic
would say that the only thing tie
c. H. $ A. "A. lacks is enough enthus-
iasm, and this is not entirely the ass0-
cations fault either. You have more
to contend against than any such other
organization OF the kind. In the matter
of football for instance. This years
team, I am told, was broken up by
those boys who wouldn't come out and
practice. And why wouldn't they !?
For the simple reason that the enthus-
iasm was lacking.
! learn through the columns of the
YELL that one-half Canon turned out
TO see bicycle race between the Blnes
and the Reds Isit not a possible thing
that as much interest could be mani
tested in the doings of the G. H. :. A.
A. Certainly, all that is required is.
first, that the association present some
thing which would interest and enter
tain the public; second, that this some
thing receive the unanimous support
Of teachers. friends of the school and
last, but Lot least, the girls The High
School and College girls of ID nvcr
would consider it a disgrace to be
absent from a game in which their
school participated. The boys wouldn't
play If there were no girls to cheer

advertising through the papers and
otherwise. the day could be made a
grand one. And once the public of
Canon City was interested. what might
not be the outcome? 1t is safe to say
that some kind Of an enclosure would

Canon City would become enthusiastic

Up t0 the first of the year Hoffman has
been employed n the printing office in
the prison. but he was compelled TO quit
work with the others. Since rlen Dee has
been locked iu bis cell. The only time he
bad been out of tho cell in The past week
was when he was given 3D. nttle exercise.
10 was while he was receiving his usual
exercise this morning that Hoffman tried
to end hls Nte.
There is n gallery an around tho prison
building ou the inside. ln tho building
whore Hoffman was confined there are
seven tiers. lls was on the second tier
from the top. The cells of the c0nyicts
on this tier were opened about 6.o0 this
morning, and Holman went out OF his
cell with the rest VI the cOnvcts The
keepers did not pay amy particular at-
teuti0n 90 him. and he fell loo line with
the other prisoners iu the gang to go
down. Just as the line had started 10

from the tier which Holman was locked
up, 90 the stone floor of the prison. one
of his legs was broken. his head was
badly cut and ne was internally injured.
Tho physicians say he has n0 chance
tO recover.
The prisoners are bo9eing for some
thing to do. and the warden fears that
other tragedies VIII result from their cn-
forced idienoss and close confinement.
There are many keeprs in Sing Sing
who express the belief that the convicts
will bee harder TO manage now than here
t0fore, owing TO the inability 10 furnish
them with employment.
