other boy to cat III him as he was
falling, but his companion did not
have time to respond as he himself
was falling. The Campbell boy

to tear one side of his face almost
entirely off and his neck was
broken, death being instantaneous.
The boy who was with him re-
ceived injuries that while not
fatal, will lay him up for while

THE cAr1p FIRE.

Last Friday, the day of tie
Grand Army camp fire, will long
be remembered by the people of
EIbert and their friends as one Of
the most happy celebrations they
every enjoyed. The town was
beautifully decorated with flags
and bunting and everybody deter
mined on having good time. By
II o'clock the streets were full of
people and teams were hitched
everywhere. When the long train
from Denver bearing the Drum
Corps and orators arrived it found
the reception committee and hun
drods of people at the depot ready
to give hearty greeting, which was
done with will. The band then
struck up a lively tune and all
marched to the town hall, where
generous old fashioned dinner had
been provided by the Post and
Woman's Relief Corps. The
printed program in the main was
carried out, except in the absence
of Col. Geo. w. Cook Command
er U. s. Hollister acted as toast
master and Mrs. b. c. KILN on
short notice responded very grace
fully to the toast-ssThe Geo. w.
Cook Drum Corps"
After dinner everybody gather
ed at the grand stand, where Mrs.
Fahrion, in behalf of the Woman's
Relief Corps, in an eloquent little
speech presented Ebert County
Post magnificent silk flag. This
vas one of the most inspiring
events of the day.
Hon. G. S. Thomas and Mrs.
Fannie d. Hardin, of Denver,
each delivered eloquent patriotic
addresses which were duly appre-
ciated.
After the addresses races were
announced at the track and the
crowd adjourned there and witt
messed number of very fine con-
tests. at night a grand ball was
given in the town hall, which tried
that capacious building to its ut
most. 1t is doubtful if Ebert
ever saw the town hall as COM
plctely packed as it was on this
occasion, but everything passed off
very nicely and to the satisfaction
of all.
The Drum Corps remained until
the next morning and were gener-
GUS in supplying excellent music.
This office acknowledges d delight
full serenade from this worthy or
ganization.
The attendance was not us large
as expected, but taking it from
first to last it was q e splendid DEM
onstration, and the Grand Army
Post, the Woman's Relief Corps,
and citizens as well, acquitted
themselves creditubly.

vAccINATOR PARTED LOVERS.
Health Officer Drives Away Holyoke Girls
 Best Young Man.

From the Chicago Chronicle
 Few young women have been more sim gularly interrupted while entertaining ev- ening callers than was a pretty Holyoke, sence of an angry and embarrassed young man. He had just begun a call upon his sweetheart, who lived in the third floor of a four-story flat building, when there was a loud rap at the hall door.
 The young woman opened the door and was confronted by stout burly man, who explained that he was the health officer, and that, in view of the fact that a case of fourth floor of the block, it would be necessary to quarantine the place. No one, he said, would be permitted to leave tho building without first being vaccinated.
 This was dreadful news to the young woman. She didn't mind being vaccinatcd herself, but she knew Charlie would be opposed to any such procedure. The health officer lost no time in acquainting Charlie with the requirements of the law. At first the young man took it as a good joke, thinking the officer only in fun. But when he saw the bluecoat was in earnest he became indignant.
 '"This is a pretty state of affairs, must say" said he, haughtily. "It is a pity if 8 man cannot call upon a young lady without being interrupted by an agent of the health department and forced to sub- suffer for this"
 But the irate youth cooled down in time and then off came his coat. The young lady fled to an adjoining room. When she returned Charlie had gone, and he has not been around to call since. Tho physician was folding $l bill for ser. vices rendered. Now the young woman threatens to bring civil action against the health department for alienating her lov. CTS affections.
