DOUBLE TRAGEDY
IN DENVER
Young Woman Murdered by Her
Lover.
MURDERER TRIES TO SUICIDE.

Denver, August 9.-Goldie Nc
Conkey, young woman of TWEEN
ty-one, lies dead in the morgue to-
day, and her lover. George Bond
who is probably fatally wound
ed, is under arrest at the county
hospital.
The tragedy was undoubtedly
the result of quarrel between the
lovers. Bond denies having killed
the girl, and declares the shots
were fired by an unknown person.
The tragedy occurred shortly after
two O'Clock this morning.
Bond dragged himself for sever
al blocks, leaving stream of blood
behind him, before he called for
help. The body of the girl was
found in the tall grass of River
side Park, and near her was lying
thirty eight calibre revolver.
Two bullets had entered the left
breast near the heart, apparently
causing instant death.
1t developes this morning that
Miss McConkey was engaged to
marry returning volunteer, and
this adds to the belief that he
committed the crime.
The bullets were fired at short
range as the woman's clothing was
burned by the powder, and Bonds
shirt was scorched where the bull
let entered.

To my mind. next to the grand canyon
of the Colorado. the most interesting
and Impressive of the natural wonders
of this great Arizona museum is the
petrified forest. which covers nearly 100
square miles, within easy distance, either
on foot or horseback. from Billings sta
ton; but it can be more easily reached
by carriage from Hoibrook, where bet
ter accommodations can be found. The
government explorers have christened IL

translucent. Some are almost transpar-

and some are IA pure and white as ala

a hird's-eye view of the petrifed forests
on a sunny day suggests q gigantic
Kaleidoscope. The surface of the earth
resembles an infinite variety OF rain
bows. The biologists say this great
plain, now 5000 feet above the sea. was
once covered BY forest, which was
submerged for ages in water strongly
charged with minerals, until the fibers
OF the trees were thoroughly soaked and
transformed into eternal stone. Many OF
the trunks are sti!l packed IN deposit
OF fine clay, which was left by the reeed-
Ing waters. but the erosion of the wind

The Indians of the southwest used 10
visit the patrified forests frequently to

MIDDLEBURY.
MEETING OF POMONA GRANGE.

Wednesday, the 8th, was red letter
day for Mddlebury. The Pomona
Grange had a business session in the
morning, followed by dinner. At 2.3O
an open meeting was called to order by
Worthy Lecturer Mrs Phipps of Pros
pect, who presided during the session.
Mrs Eli Bronson read an able paper on
Mature Studies in the Schools She
showed the value to child in learning
to see intelligently the workings of Ma
ture, and showed that Muir, Agassiz,
Culver and Hugh Miller were discoveries
through the careful use OF this trained
habit. She urged that children be taught
concerning the natural objects about
them under the direction of their teach
ers. Prof Morrell followed. He thought
fully endorsed Mrs Bronson's plea. He
claims that undue time is spent on arith-
metic and grammar. That both of these
branches may be reduced to much lower
terms and still teach all that is needful.
More time is thus gained for helpful
reading of books that are storehouses of
uplifting thoughts, and of nature and
sun in the physical outline Of the vicin-
ity, the birds, plants, stones, physical
and chemical forces which are close to
US. The teachers of Middlebury and Mr.
Avery took part in the discussion that
followed.

RIRTHDAY STRPRISE.

Although a short duration of time has
elapsed since the birthday celebration
of Horace A. Allen, at his home, Brook
side farm, New Milford, it without doubt
Is still fresh in the memories OF tho.e
who we're so fortunate as to participate
in the event. Ga February 10, 1899, a
double surprise was to have been tender
ed Mr. Allen, but the blizzard Of that date
put an end to all plane, cons6 quentlY
only few of his neighbOrs were permit
ted to gather at his house the following
Wednesday night and present him with
a fine present as the result of liberal
donations from few of his neighDors
and friends, a complete surprise it was.
Mr. Allen answered the rap on the door
where upon opening the door a bevy of
ladies walked in laden with baskets
which contained choice delectables and
which later appeased the hungry appe-
titles of the company. Mrs Allen was let
into the secret, Const quenty everything
was in readiness, even to nice warm
fire in the paIlor. When the doors were
flung open to the crowd, which present.
ed most cheerful appearance, a very
pleasant evening was enjoyed that night.
About a. H., the gathering bl oke up,
each going to their several homes. 1t
was then decided to complete the surprise
as was first intended. New Invitations
were reissued and the arrangements car
ried out on the next Wednesday night,

had by all present, which is needless to
say, as all know who ever attended
gathering OF. whatever nature at Mr.
Aliens. Friends from Bridgeport,
Bridgewater, Worthwhile, Merryall, Fair
field and New Milford were present. The
night was glorious, the balmy air and
the silvery orb of night shedding her
rays of beautiful light over the mantle
of pure snow with which the earth was
shrouded, went far towards making the
enjoyment more keen. Dancing was
commenced at an early hour and contin-
ued throughout the night, with only an
lutermission for supper, and continued
through the small morning hours. In
deed, we may go so far as to say it was
daylight when some reached home,
while others did not leave until daylight
for their homes, such good time were
they having. 1t was truly an oldtime
dance like as they used TO dance all night
and until daylight, and then go home
with the girls in the morning. All hope
Mr. Allen will live to see many happy
returns of the day, that we may have
the opportunity of giving him another
