Columbins band basket social at the
Tabernacle next Tuesday night.
Sunday was one Of the ideal days OF
the Grand Valley. Tho bright, warm
sunshine induced lots of people to come
from their homes and walk in the balmy
air. A great many people visited the
beet sugar factory that is now nearing
completion.
Sam Eaton, editor and publisher OF
the Dade County Journal, at Everton,
Missouri, rode into the city on bicycle
yesterday. Mr.. Eaton has ridden this
far entirely on his wheel and is en- route
to portions of south eastern Idaho. Whom
he reashes his destination be will have
ridden 1000 miles. He has covered
about 100 niles 30 far and has had
very few accidents. He rode into Colo
RADIO Springs without having punctured
tire. His luck was not quite 30 good
in crossing the mountains. He will rest
in the city for a few days before pro-
eseding on his journey, which still son-
templates quite a distance, a part of
which is across a desert.
Mr.. H. @. Wagner. Travelling Pass
enger Agent OF tho Chicago, Milwau-
kee 4 st. Paul R'y, came into our city
this morning, and as usual he called on
US. He looked SO smiling we said to
him, "Mr. Wagner, something must be
going very much in your favor" He
said in part, while in the East for
the past three months the crops have
been something enormous, the largest
that they have been for years, the peo-
ishinp." On asking him how business In
general was he Said. at is utterly be-
yond description. The railroads are do
ing the largest business they have ever
done. The Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul R'y is in want of cars to haul the
business. Although our shops turn out
three new cars a day in addition to the
large supply on hand, We have not suf-
hcient number to handle the enormous
business. We have one order for 800
cars, another for 1900 cars to move the
Omaha Exposition buildings to Milwau-

M. L. Roberts M. G. Ramsey and DR..
Ramsey had the good luck to capture
about thirty dollars in prizes at tho
tournament at Rifle. The party also
captured two deer. Mr.. Roberts in
shooting his deer, according to the testi-
mony OF those who were with him, made
a remarkable shot. He saw a small herd
of deer on the side OF the mountain and
could not disoer rn at frst with the naked
eye whether they were does or bucks.
Taking little field glass that he had
with him. he soon deserted two bucks in
the herd. The bucks were at least six
hundred yards away and he was told it
would be waste OF ammunition to shoot
at that distance, but Mr.. Roberts pro-
tested that he could hit the deer and he
did 90, killing the animal on the nrst
shot. He has the head at his store az q
trophy Of his prowess. Since being in
the state, Mr.. Roberts has shot seven
teen bull elk and many deer, and Is cred
tied one Of the best hunters in the state.
His luck as some sall it il phenomenal,
but he says it 10 not luck, but work that
has brought him good bags Of game.

approach OF winter. The coal boxes are
being looked after, winter supplies are

in much comfort this winter who were
living in rented property last year.
There is general desire upon the part
Of many to obtain their own homes, and
despite the advance Of winter there are
contracts being let at the present time
for new buildings.

WILL GO TO THE HEIRS ATLAW.
n-ThOusnnd-Dollnr Policy
and Shielded.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. H. All ques-
ton as to the identity of the man who,
as Aaron Wolfsohn, of St. Louis, Sc
cured a life insurance policy for S1O-
GOO here a few months ago and then
committed suicide, is now removed.
The man who took out the policy and
killed himself is proved to be Aaron
Nolfsohn, both by photographs re-
ceiyed from the east and by compari-
son of handwriting. The only uneN-
planned part of the story is as to the
person who claimed in Chicago that
he was Aaron Wolfsohn, and the ideu-
tity of some one who wrote a letter
10 the insurance agent here to the e.
feet that the supposed Wolfsohn was
the man, but the suicide had been
committed in order to defraud the in
surance companies. The policy was
paid to the public administrator by
the company, who afterwards tried to
get it back The money will now go
to the dead mans heirs at law.

quantity of shingles marked Parry
Sound" from which port the Niagara
seiled for Buffalo. Judging from the
amount of wreckage that has been
found the Niagara must have broken up
badly in the storm.
1t is the opinion of lake cap
tains that the boat went down in deep
water about eight miles east of Long
Point, as none of her spars has been
found, and if she had gone down in
shallow water they would be sticking
up. The storm which destroyed the
Niagara was one of the worst that ever
ragged over Lake Erie. The wind was
blowing a gale of As miles an hour.
Even the largest and strongest boats
made for shelter, and it is the opinion
of vesselmen that Capt. McCleary at

run under Long Point, and in doing
SO encountered the full force of the
storm, his craft going to pieces.
