Something new in the weather line oc.
cured last Thursday up near Prowers
station. A small sized cyclone invaded
that part Of the country and made
things look very dangerous for time.
Some small buildings north Of Prowers
were demolished, buRgies, wagons and
farm implements were scattered and
destroyed, and large trees along the
river were twisted and broken. Nolives
were lost, nor any one injured, as far as
learned.
Strain Bros. are building large addi-
tion to their seed house and when it is
completed they will install small arti-
fetal ice plant In it. The plant will be
large enough to make all the ice used by
the residents and others who desire it,
and they will continue to put up ordi
nary ice for use in the large refriRera-
tors. The new enterprise will be quite
convenience for our people as it will
give sure supply Of the finest and best
ice for family uses.
Last Saturday morning small frame
stable back of the residence Of Mr..
Durant, on third street, was discovered
to he on fire. The alarm was sounded,
and the fire laddies were on the spot
promptly. But before their arrival, the
blaze had been put out by the bucket
brigade. The fire is supposed to have
started from sparks sent forth by the
engine Of the crate factory. Extra pre-
cautions will be hereafter used to pre-
vent any more accidents.
Miss Lorene Sayler, who was coming
home from Denver the other night, had
a very narrow escape from death. She
had gone to sleep on the car and just as
the tram was leaving Rocky Ford, she
awoke and being bewildered, thought
the train was at Lamar. She hurried
out the door and jumped from the car,
falling heavily upon the platform, and
sustaining severe injuries about the
head. She was brought to Lamar and
is doing nicely, receiving the best OF
care

A book agent is, we are informed, SELL
ing very expensive set Of books to a
number of school districts in the county
at a price exceeding 800. In this day
Of advanced methods in producing books
that is very steep price for any kind of
work, and it would pay the school di.
rectors to go very slow in giving orders.
Taxes are very high here anyway, and
that amount Of expense will add mater
tally to the levy in many Of the country
districts, while it is very doubtful it
they will ever get anything near the
value Of their monsy.
