Gentlemen are requested to come in
their most convenient garb, as no ladies
will be present the first evening. A
large class was made up with Little or nc
effort. Not one fourth Of the people
have been interviewed and no further
time will be given in that direction.
The class membership will be limited
to size OF opera house. Probably 25
more couples may be admitted. 1t ID
confidently expected that the limit will
be reached and no further additions as-
copied after Monday night.
This is not said for the purpose Of
forcing any one to join, but simply as a
reminder that expenses begin with the
term and end with the same. 1t is the
interest Of all concerned that the class
be full from the beginning.
Every one whose name already appears
on the lony list Of membership is asked
to bring as many gentlemen friends with
him as possible. The first evening will
be free to all. Those wishing TO join

Hand Crushed.

William Beasley, wiper at the round
house was SO unfortunate this morning
as to have his hand crushed practically
of. Beasley was working at the sand
pile and was about to couple two Rio
Grande Western engines when his hand
was caught between the bumpers and
mashed. When brought up town to the
Office Of DR.. Bull his hand was practical
ly hanging by a thread. 1t was determ-
ined at ohce by DR.. Bull, the surgeon Of
the road, that amputation was nee ssary
and he proceeded to perform the opera
tion at once.
The hand was amputated about three
inches above the wrist. This will leave
Bsasley q cripple for life. 1t vas an un-
fortunate accident, but one which can
be expected to occur At most any time
on the railways OF the country.

Last night on the train between this

merchant of Glenwood Springs and
Grand Junction, by which the former
will build large and handsome store

The deal has been pending for several
days and owing to a change in the plans
nothing could be done satisfactorily un-
til the plans had been changed in &C.
cordance with some considerations
which came before the parties to tho
deal while in this city.
The building will be 50x12O feet and
will be built upon modern lines and q
credit to the city. This is only one Of
the many things which are bound to
come to Grand Junction in the near fu-

things in this line of the upbuilding Of
