the baya bird. After building its nest
of mixed twigs, mud and grasses, the
bird plasters the nest with live fire

of damp clay. When FREELY dies

DEATH OF WARREN CANON.

Warren Canon, eldest and only son OF
Hon. and Mrs. Benton Canon, died in
Denver yesterday of that dread disease
spinal meningitis.
About two weeks ago the deceased re-
ceived severe shock from having taken
hold OF two live electric wires, while en- :
deavoring to capture some pigeons on
the roof Of the residence OF the family
His hands were badly burned at the
time and he was very severely shock d
by coming in contact with the wires.
When he was attacked with the dis.
ease which caused his death his body
was in no condition to withstand its
ravages and he soon succumbed.
The news OF the death Of the deceased
came to this city today through letter
to DR.. E. F.. Eldridge, who was the
physician of the family when they re.
sided here. There were no particular
regarding the death or where the body
would be buried, but it is supposed in
the city of Denver.
The many friends of the family in this
city will regret greatly to hear of the
death of Warren Canon. He was the
pride of his parents and was just fifteen
years Of age, having been born in 1884

DOGS Communicate the Disease

1t is now pretty generally conceded
that dogs breed the germs of spinal
meningitis. There has BEEN and Is, ac-
cording to the Denver papers, slight
epidemic of the disease there. The
News this morning contains lengthy
article on the spread OF the disease and
mentions especially the case OF Warren
Canon, s,n of Benton Canon, in connec-
ton Herewith.
In this city there is great number Of
worthless ours upon which no tax has
been paid. These dogs with no homes
and no owners should be killed. They
are means by which the dread disease
has been spread in Denver and an ounce
of prevention is worth pound OF cure.
There is an ordnance providing that
dogs shall be registered; if they are not
they should be killed without any regard
whatever as to who owns them. Ono
precious life OF child is worth moro
than all the dogs in Grand Junction.
Due warning should be given once for
all and then the work OF determination
begun. The disease although at present
confined to Denver, is no argument that
Grand Junction or any other city in the
state is immune from its ravages.

Cheyenne-Josiah Hazen, sheriff OF

o'clock in the afternoon, when they
we're overtaken in a deep gulch. A sharp
fight followed in which the bandits aban-
doned their horses and entrenched them
selves behind .cks on the steep side OF
the gulch A number OF shots were ex-

self in daring manner was shot early in
the fight, the ball passing through his
stomach.
Two cowboys, who were with the
posse, took charge OF him and carried
him out OF range He was taken to Cas-
per, distance OF forty miles, suffering
intensely on the way. At Casper he
was put in General Manager Dickinson's
private car and taken at once to bis
home at Douglas where he died from the
effects of the wound at o'clock this
evening
The loss OF Sheriff Hazen and the two
cowboys reduced the posse to six men
They secured the horses and saddles OF
the bandits and attempted to surround
the gulch and keep them penned up un-
til this morning.
During the intense darkness OF the
night the robbers slipped through the
thin line OF watchers and made their es
cape. They stole horses from freight
ing outfit, camped in the vicinity, and
sta ted for Hole in the Wall, about 70
miles away.
A party of 65 we'll mounted men, in
Guiding United States Marshal Hadsel,
exMarshal AcDermott, Sheriff Heistand

days ago, and Mexican whose name is
unknown.
In the pockets OF the saddles were
found several small articles OF jewelry
which had been stolen from the safe OF

JANAUsCH EI2 TONIGHT.

Nine. Janauschek, the greatest and
most powerful actress before the public
today will appear at the Academy Of
Music tonight in one of Sir Walter
SCOTS most celebrated, and widely
known characters; Meg Merriles, the
famous Gypsy Queen, and the heroine of
his most popular romance, Guy Man
nering. This is an entirely new dramat-
ization in five acts and has never before
been played in this city. 1T was made
by the we'll known author Paul Kester.
and when lit was produced in Washing
ton last week attracted large and Cash
fDnabGe audiences. The character OF
Meg is one well adapted to what MAY be
termed the massive style of Janauschek,
for it is well known that her career has
been devoted almost wholly to the Sc
yerely classical in dramatic art; but in
Meg she las a character that fits her to
nicely 1t affords her many opportllali-
ties for the play of all the tender emo
tioms, as well as those grand bursts of
passion winch almost brings an audience
to it's feet. Janauschek lis am aI'tist TO
her finger tips, and her death scene,
ONE of the most pathetic and touching on
the stage today, holds the audience An
rapt attention to the very fall of the
curtain.

CANNED GOODS ADVANCE.
On Account of War in the Transvaal
Prices Have Gone up.

Housekcepcrs may prepare themselves
for a rise in all cured meats and canned
goods. The dictum has gone forth from
the packers that more money must be
paid for these products on account of the
war in the Transvaal; and if the
disturbance keeps up any length Of time
a greater rise may be expected. During
the last ten days there have been three
separate and distinct rises in the pro-
ducts of packing houses and the proba-
bility is that they will go still higher.
Packers are selling meats for direct
shipment to South Africa for the Eng
fish troops, and the daily expectation is
for larger and frequent orders from the
British Government. Yhe duration or
the war in South Africa will settle the
price Of packing house products; the lon
ger the war and the greater the orders
for feeding the troops) that find their
way to this country, the higher will go
