anism-Minor Disturbance Between
Socialists and Army Adherents.

Manseilles, April 13.-President Lou
bet arrived today from Paris on his
way to Algeria after receiving con-
tinuous ovations along the route. The
presidential party was met by the
civil and military authorities and was
escorted to the prefecture, where an
official reception was held. A crowd
estimated to have numbered 800 900
persons packed the thoroughfares, and
gave the president an enthusiastic
greeting. A grand banquet at the
bourse followed the reception.
During the day NJ. Loubet made sew.
eral short speeches, mainly expressive
of his sturdy Republicanism.
Only one minor disturbance was re
ported. This was between a group OF
Socialist agitators and number of ad.
herents of the army. Blows were ex.
changed and the police interfered. Six
persons were injured, three of them
rather seriously. This was chiefly due
to the denseness of the crowds and in.
terrupted the popular demonstration
to the president.

comment. From the foundation to the
ornamental front, the greatest of care
has been taken in the construction.
The front is thing of everlasting
beauty. Six carved columns of gray
granite support a front Of beautifully
carved lava stone and Roman tile.
The carving of the lava stone
is especially artistic. When the front
is completed it will not only be the
most artistic in town but will rank
with the best to be found in large cit.
les Canon City builders are fast recog-
nizing the artistic in stone work. 1t is

Fuller & Heyle are responsible for the
stone work ON the Robson suilding.
besides other work which has attracted
much attention, they seem to combine
solidity with the artistic, and, rs n
result. many buildings in this town
do great credit to the city as we'll as

After the Robson building is COM

pay some attention to stone work
