sickness to such an extent as to

known the buds to be seriously
injured by frosts after the first of
April, and although there have
been instances of heavy ones when
the trees were in blossom, there
have been no serious results. The
recent snow storms were a good

SALiDA HOSPITAL BURNED.
Firemen Did Good Work and No
Lives Were Lost.

Salida, Colo. April l3. At nine
O'Clock last night fire was discov-
cred bursting through the roof Mt
the southwest corner of the d. d
K. q. hospital at this place. 1t is
supposed to have originated from
a spark dropped in a room under
going repairs in which were dry
shavings.
The hook, ladder and hose COM
pany worked faithfully, but the
water system was poor and the
best they could do was to save the
lower floor and the outbuildings.
The walls still stand intact, and
apparently not injured, About
thirty inmates were taken out
when the fire alarm was sounded
and though the firemen worked
under a falling roof, no one was
injured except slightly from the
intense heat.
The damage will probably ag-
gregate from $1,000 to $1,000. and
is heavily insured. The building
was one of the finest of it's kind in
the state, and was kept up by rail
road employees, Furniture and
hospital appliances were saved.
Almost AS soon RS the hospital
contlagration was under control
an alarm was sounded in the rail
road yard, which proved to be an
oil house in the east end of the
yard. In the absence of water ap-
pliances the building and contents
were destroyed.

the police authorities were unable to
avail themselves OF her offer on this
occasion. II will be a surprise to most
people to learn that there has actually
been a woman executioner In this

take the Office OF executloner, and oc-
casionally death sentences were res
pited on condition that the criminal
should perform this Office. A case Of
this sort occurred In pre-rcvolutionary

was respited on her offering to be-
