A Baseless Charge

l
Reports are being circulated by certain
parties opposed to the candidacy Of
on the Reform ticket in the third
ward, that he is only temporarily q
citizen of Canon City and for that
reason should not be elected to the
Office to which he aspires. 1t is assert.
ed that Mr.. Houle only intends to
reside here during the winter months,
and that he expects to spend the rest
of the time on his ranch on Texas creek I:
statements that are absolutely without
foundation in fact. Mr. Hould has
rented his ranch to his sons for n
period Of five years and has no intent.
ion whatever of going back there
to live. He has recently bull a
nice home on Eighth street and has
at least $40. 900, invested in property
in the ward where he lives. He ex.
poets to make his home here and the
charge that he is only temporary
resident is unwa rranted and

A Delightful Concert

The concert given by the Chaminade
Trio of Denver at Elks hall last Tues
day night was a delightful affair, and
was a financial, as well as an artistic
success. Although the propram was a
classical one, it was diversified enough
{ iita tastes and every number was
vigorously applauded. The Chamin-
ade Trio is compored of Mrs. Genevra
Walters Baker. violinist, Mis-. George
Spalding. celloist. Miss. Dolce Gross
mayer. pianist, each of whom is an
adept performer on that particular
instrument in which she achieved such
a triumph last Tuesday night.
In program of such excellence
comparisons would be invidious. but
we cannot refrain from adverting to
the playing of Mrs. Baker. whom il
is hardly two much to say is one of
the best violinists ever heard in this
city.
The entertainment was given under
the auspices of the Wednesday Musical
club and to that organization is due
the thanks of the public for distinct
musical treat.

One of the most disastrous fires in
the history of Canon City occurred at
the plant of the United States Smelt-
ing Company last night, destroying
the refinery, the machine shop, two
bag houses, the cooper shop and other
buildings. entailing loss estimated
at about 800, 1000.
The plant was running at the time.
and, from the best information we
are able to obtain, the fire originated
from hot boxing in the refinery
shortly after IL O'Clock and quickly
spread to other structures in the vi
cinity.
The flames were soon beyond the
control of the men about the plant,
and requisition was made on the fire
in saving the property. The latter,
however, was unable to do very ef-
fective work as its equipment could
not be used under the peculiar condi-
tions which prevailed on Smelter hill.
Several hundred people from the
north side of the river were attracted
to the scene of the confagration, but
were powerless to do anything te
check its progress. The flames lllum.
mated the landscape to almost the
brightness of day for a great distance
in every direction; it being possible
to read the large type used in news

the peniteptiary. when the
fire was at its heighth.
In addition to the buildings, which
had all been recently overhauled and
large quantity of paint was
destroyed, as we'll as many valuable
tools in the machine shop; the loss
from this source alone amounting to
many thousands of dollars.
One box car, the property of the
Santa Fe Railroad company, was con-
sumed and several others badly
scorched. In order to prevent the
burning of number of cars belong
ing to the above company it was nee
essary to send to Florence to procure
an engine to pull them to place OF
safety.
We were unable to see Mr.. Jack
ling this morning and have no means
of knowing whether the plant will be
rebuilt or not, but suppose it will be,
as it was believed to be a remunera-
tive piece of property.
Nearly quarter of million dol
lars had been spent in improvements
at tho plant during the past year.
