cellar and ice house for the new brewery
which Jos. Schober is having built.
The new cellar has about three times
the capacity of the old one, and is being
arranged to the best possible advantage,
having the ice house directly over it.
The completion of the new brewery will
enable Mr.. Schober to make first class
beer and store it until such time as it is
of sufficient age to market instead of
using it as fast as made, which is often
the case at present.

A serious accident occurred here Tues
day to Henry VonBerge, of Denver.
Mr.. VohBerge was coming over the big
hill south of town in cart and, as near
aa can be determined, had fainting
spell. He was lying in the front end of
the cart when the horse started down
the hill. Just opposite Postmaster
Libbey's home Mr.. VonBerge was
thrown violently to the ground, the
cart passing over him. He was carried
to DIR. Turner's Office and his wounds
dressed, he having sustained badly
broken nose, lascerated mouth and a
sprained wrist besides being generally
shaken up. The horse was captured on
Main street with nothing damaged.
Mr.. VonBerge was taken to the St.
Albert hotel, where he is recovering as
rapidly as could be expected.
