GIANT WOMAN HERE
The Sentinel Representative Has
an Interview With the TaIlest
Woman in the World Today.

| Miss Ella Ewing OF Gorin, Mo-, accom-
panied by her father, b. f. Ewing, her
cousin, Miss Teent Blackwood of La
| Grange, Mo, and her manager, D. j. Bu-
ford OF Rutledge, Mo-, is registered at
the Buena Vista.
A Sentinel representative called at the
Buena Vista this morning and asked to
see Miss Ewing The lady was at break
fast, and after she had finished went to
her room and sent word that she would
see us Upon being admitted to the
room, Miss Ewing came forward very
pleasantly and extended her hand in
greeting This handclasp was not what
might have been expected from 80 large
fingers closed firmly and completely COW
cred our hand.
Miss Ewing invited us to be seated
and very pleasantly chatted about her
past history, from which conversation
the following facts were obtained re-
garding this remarkable woman.
Miss Ewing is the tallest woman in
the world. She ia 8 feet, inches in
height and weighs 256 pounds. At her
birth, which occurred in Louis county,
Mo-, 27 years ago, she weighed only 81
pounds and was very ordinary sized
child until che reached the age OF
yeare when she suddenly began to grow
tall and continued her extraordinary
growth until she was "a years old since
which time she says she has not grown
Her mother was feet 51a inches tall
and her father is 6 feet inch. All the
other members OF the family on either
side of her parentage Qor Miss Ewing is
an only child) are OF medium stature.
Her hands and feet are enormous and
she told the Sentinel representative this
morning that all her gloves and shoes
had to be made to order.
Miss Ewing is quite an intellectual
| woman and has many accomplishments
| She is quite stopped and would be sew
| eral inches taller il she Strengthened up.
She is also a fairly good looking young
woman, wears glasses and dresses very
oeatly.
She is travelling toward Seattle, where
| it is said she is to be married to the
largest man in the world, a fellow some
thing in the neighborhood OF feet tall
| While Miss Ewing did not confirm tina,
statement this morning, she did not de
ny it, and said she WAS going to Seattle
where she would be engaged for the sea
son with the Northern Pacific Fair Cir
cult. She came in over the Denver 4
Rio Grande from Glenwood and will re-
main here for several days, during which
| time che will exhibit in tent in this
city opposite The Fair.
Those who have any doubts as to the
| size of Miss Ewing should not fail to see
her, as she is certainly wonder.

BONDS ILLEGAL.
Question Has Been Raised on lie.
sality of $4,000 School
Bonds.

The school board of school district No.
held a meeting last night at the office
of the secretary.
The meeting was held for the specific
purpose of opening the bids for the sale
OF the $4,000 bonds voted.
When the board was finally in session
the question was raised through sug
gestion of Judge Caswell of the legality
OF the proceedings in the issue Of the
bonds. In other words, the motion
which was made to submit to the quail
fled voters OF the school district, to vote
$4,000 worth OF bonds, specified that
two or three things should be done with
that money-thau new school should
be built. realty purchased, repairs made
to the High and Lowell school buildings,
etc.
The motion, according to the conten-
ton OF Judge Caswell based upon a re-
cent supreme court decision in the case
of the Auditorium OF Denver, is that a
motion should have been made appro-
priating for the specific object; also that
several motious should have been made
for each and every distinct thing pro-
posed to have been done by the board.
While no legal opinion had been re-
quested and none form lily presented, it
was thounht best by the board, in the
absence Oh beVeEdl nlemUbEe, W nOL OpeD
the bids for the bonds or transact any
other matter in relation thereto until
they had been fully advised of the legal
ity OF their action.
1t was further decided that, il what
had been intimated to them was true,
that they would call another election to
vote the bonds.
Secretary Marsh stated to the Senti-
mel representative that nothing would be
lost by the mistake, il mistake there was,
with the exception of time, but chat
that was quite an important matter in
! view of the fact that it is but a month
and half until the fall school term be-
gins.
There we're six bids received for the
bonds, but none OF them we're opened
and they will be returned to those who
sent them.
The repairs on the High and Lowell
school buildings and the connection OF
the water closets with the city sewerage
system will go right forward and the
money will be used from the special fund
for this purpose. The successful bidder
for the work was j. q. Stull.
| No further action WAS taken by the
board. The question Of the legality OF
the Dor DIS will be finally determined at
the next meeting and the mistake RENE
| died, il there be such.
