The Creede Daily Miner says this
about the attraction that appears at
the Opera house, Friday and Saturday.
June sth and 9th.
A large crowd greeted Berol's Amer
ican Mystifiers and Grand Gift Carni
val at the Opera house last night and to
say that the company fully maintained
the claim made for it would but family
express the actual fact. 1t Was surely a
| mystery shrouded in mystery and was
fascinating in the extreme. The pro-
gram included mind reading, second
sight. wonderful feats of memory and
spirit mysteries. Miss Nora Belmonte
is the most gifted artistic in this line OF
work ever seen in the west and her
performance was inishe / and perfect.
The humorous was blended with the
mysterious and while apparently i'm
possible feais caused visions OF the
supernatural to flash before the mind.
the ludicrous was always in evidence
and kept the audience in the utmost
good humor. The Distribution of gifts
was lavish in the extreme and included
many o; no little value. IL you have a
theory as to how these mysterious fea 8
are performed, go to night and put it 10
the test. The entertainment is pecu-
liarly fascinating and certainly worth
many times the price OF admission.

A. W. Carr brought in several branch

es OF peach limbs from the Poplar Grove
fruit farm on Surface creek mesa.
owned by WIN. Rowan. which for the
showing Of fruit takes the pastry. The
limbs are about as full OF young peaches
as can well be, and Mr.. Carr says the
entire orchard are like the samples
brought in. Two-thirds OF the set fruit
on this farm will have to be pulled off
the trees to keep them from breaking
down. The Surface creek mesa is all
right.
