An Excellent Entertainment by the Denver
Academy of Music.
Boulder Certainly is gaining in musical
taste. and the proof lies in the character
OF the music WHICH is presented at con-
certs given by home or foreign talent.
The concert last evening was really a
good one.
The numbers were we'll chosen and
carefully rendered. 1t would be easy to
say pleasant things Of each individual,
but space limits prevent extended COM
ment. The delight OF the audience a,
the re appearance OF Miss Jean Brooks
was evidenced by the enthusiastic ap.
plause following her appearance upon
the stage, and after each number. MIR.
Grant Weber at the piano was also an
unquest'oned success. 1t was a pity he
had not concert grand upon which to
better display his talents. Boulder will
be glad to see him again. The Denver
Academy of music has made a pleasant
place for itself in the remembrances of
all who attended the concer, las, evening.
The contest for scholarship was de
cided in favor Of Miss Fitzgerald, who
sold the largest number of tickets, re.
ceiying the long end of the Denver
Academy of Music scholarship and Miss
Boyington the quarter term. Lessons

eminent Prof. Houseley. Last nights

DEVOTION.


Beyond Cannes the diligence was full
and the passengers were chatting to-
gether. AS they passed Tarascon some
said This Is the place where there
have been so many murders, and then
the talk turned upon the mysterious
person who had frequently assassinated
travellers during the past two years.
The men conjectured and gave advice,
while the women shudderingly peered
through the windows into the dark
night, fearing that the face of the
murderer would suddenly appear at the
cOach-door. And then everybody be-
gan to tell terrifying stories of perilous
encounters. or being shut in with man

Each man knew tale redound1ng to

down and made him prisoner under
most untavorable circumstances, with
great presence of mind and admirable
bravery. A physician who spent his
winters in the South took his turn at
telling story.

SWITCHMAN'S MISTAKE.
Caused the Dsral|Ing Of a Car Near
Dixie Street Crossing.
One End Of Car Was on Main Line and the
Other on Branch Tracks.

There was slight accident on the
Consolidated railroad this morning at
the Dixie street crossing. which was
due TO the mistake or a switch tender.
IL is the custom OF the man as soon as
the 1927 a. m. Willimantic train passes
this switch TO throw" for the Pascoag
local that follows. and this he has done
for years without an accident. This
morning he was at his post as usual
and as he supposed doing the work as
before. but he made a slight miscal-
culation and threw the switch before
the rear trucks Of the last car OF the
Wilimantic train had passed The re-
sult was that one end OF the car was
on the main line and the other on the
Pascoag branch. The engineer discov-
cred that something was wrong and
at once shut off the steam and brought
the train To a standstill. Looking back
he saw that the rear car was nearly
crosswise OF the gutter that runs be-
tween the main line and the Pascoag
tracks.
The passengers on the derailed car
went into the forward cars and in ten
minutes wefe on their way toward
Willimantic as IL nothing had happen
ed. That there was no serious result
is perhaps due TO the fact that the
train slowed up at the crossing and
wf1er-the- accident -vur-fr1st
getting under headway.
