MINISTER.
Death Of a Former Resident.

The following, taken from the Den
yer Republican, will be of interest to
some of the older inhabitants of the
town, as Mr.. Kellogg lived here for
some years, owning the land where
the Harriet Goodrich Home now
stands, his residence being burned
but the handsome row of naples
which now add so much to our street
were planted by Mr.. Kellogg:
Henry Kellogg, a prominent Ma
son, Republican politician and cattle
grower of Colorado, died in Cripple
Creek, Dec. 30, of peritonitis, aged II
years. Mr.. Kellogg was born in
Troy, N. Y, and graduated at Will
liams college in Massachusetts. Fol
lowing his graduation, on account of
impaired health, he made a voyage to
China, which consumed two years,
and on his return to America in 1850
was married to Sarah G. May of West
minister, VT, who, together with two
sons and a daughter, survive him.
Mr.. Kellogg has been a resident of
Colorado for 80 years. He was
prominent in Republican politics in
the eastern part of the state, served
one term as treasurer of Bent county
and was a delegate to the national
convention which nominated Benja-
min Harrison for president in 1888.
He was a lifelong Mason and had
attained the 32d degree. Mt. Pts
gah lodge, No. SO, will have charge of
the funeral. While a resident of
Bent County, Mr.. Kellogg was en-
gagged in stock growing and since his
removal to Cripple Creek in 1896 he
has been engaged in mining.

Grange New Years Entertainment.

Grange New Years Entertainment.
The annual New Years entertain
ment and supper of the Grange came
off Thursday evening of last week.
There was a good attendance of mem
bers, their families and some invited
guests. Everything passed off in a
very enjoyable manner. The literary
part of the program was under the
charge of Harlan Goodhue, the lectur-
er of the Grange. There were songs,
solos, recitations, and the reading of
the Grange paper, the Maple Leaf.
Miss Florence Goodhue sang in her
usual manner, always well received.
Miss Cove of Bellows Falls, not before
heard here. in her violin solos was
vigorously applauded. Charles Hough-
ton gave humorous recitation, as he
has done several times before. Ella
Roundy also appeared in a recitation
done after her usual custom, while lit
tie Fred Harlow, in his first effort of
the kind seemed to carry off the palm,
because so youthful. The Maple Leaf,
read by Miss Barbara Schwenk, was
of a spicy character, as is usually the
case. The supper was bountiful as
ever, and was thoroughly enjoyed by
the company who filled the tables.
This annual Grange entertainment is
one of the chief features of the place

One Man Who "Passed Away"

One Man Who "Passed Away" in
North Walpole, Landed in Windsor
Minus $9o-Edward Kane, Crazed
by Rum, Disappeared and May Have
Been Drowned.
Facts, and rumors of facts, of the
evils of the saloon traffic over the
river are very rife just now. One
morning last week, and a very cold
one at that, a man was found in a box
car at Windsor on a train which had
just gone up from here. He was with
out hat or coat and almost frozen
He told the authorities there that the
last he remembered he was drinking in
North Walpole saloon and had about
$50 in his pockets. When found he
had no money and had evidently been
robbed not only of money but cloth
ing, and bundled into the car to land
elsewhere. He was a stranger here.
Last week Wednesday evening Ed
ward Kane, who lives this side of the
river, and who has been a frequenter
of the saloons across" disappeared
entirely while crazed with rum. He
left his wife and five children sudden
ly, rushing out of the house and to-
ward the bridge, since which no trace
of him has been found. The water
was shut out of the canal Sunday and
search made for his body, and since
then a diver has been employed
searching the river at different points.
Mr.. Kane was an employee of the In
ternational company as a fireman in
the boiler rooms until about Christ
mas, when his celebrations were too
much for him. the scene of his de-
bauches being the rum shops in North
Walpole.

Application for a Guardian for Mrs.

Towns by a Niece, with the Sup
posed Intention Of Annulling Sale of
Property
The future of the Towns hotel prop
erty continues to interest the resi-
dents and be a prolific theme of discus
sion and speculation. The house re-
mains closed to the public, with the
larger part of the rooms rented. NO
movements for the contemplated
changes have been made. The ROCK
ingham is having more than 1t can
handle of transient guests, and is set
ting an excellent table. Landlord
l.. T. Lowell, I'd, is putting his whole
time to the house, and has able ASSIST
ants, so everything goes smootnly-
The Commercial house is also doing
an excellent business and is well
spoken of by travelling men.
The development of the week has
been the application of Mrs. Gould
Ruggles of Boston, one OF the helrs,
To the probate court that guardian
he appointed for Mrs Towns to care
for her interests. No other heirs as
vet have Joined in the movement, al
though there are a number of other
"a close relatives, she being a niece.
1t is supposed, If the Application Is
granted. an effort may be made to an
null the recent sale of the property
although it is understood both Mrs.
Ruggles and her husband were present
and fully consented to the terms OF
the sale, Mr. Ruggles's signature APP
pearing as a witness to Mrs. Towns
signature. The preliminary agree
1uent was made in September, and the
property decided in December. 1t is
probable the application for guar
dian will be granted, although II is
doubtful if cause can be shown LOT
the annulling of the sale. The hear
ing is to be had at the Office of Judge
Read next week Saturday the 18th in
slant. Until after that no movement
will be made looking to changing the
property by Mr.. Ullery. Mrs. Towns
has her rooms in the building and
takes her meals at the Rockingham.
