A BIG FIRE
AT ALONZO.
Hudson Lumber Company's
Will Narrowly Escaped.

Fire broke ont in the dry kilns
at the Hudson Lumber Company )
mill at A!onzo station near Winn-
field Tuesday evening about Z
O'Clock. Two kilns and about
10000 feet of dry lumber were
burned and it was by hard work
that the entire mill was not des-
troyed. All the men working
about the mill were on hand to
fight the fire but had not the citi-
zens residing within a few miles
of the plant come to their aid the
mill would have burned. The
light of the flames attracted the
attention of the settlement and it
was but y short time when the
neighbors came in and worked
like heroes to save the. plant.
1t is not known if the lumber
was insured and the fire is sup
posed to have started from the
kiln catching inside.

Sat q hen in a brand new way:

Lined it snugly with new-mown

Filled it nicely with eggs and

Started to look for a likely hen.
Out Of the flock she selected one;
And then she thought that her
work was done;
1t would have been, but this
stubborn hen
Stood up and cackled. "Ka-
doot," and then
Maud Muller came with her hurt

Looked coldly into the creature $

Then tied its legs to the box:
"You bet,
Said she, II know how to make

But still it stood and worse and

Shrieked forth It's wrongs to the

Kicked over the box with tinsel

And ANONYMOUSLY tapped

OBITUARY.

Mrs. Lula Drewett, nee Owens,
wife of A. T. Drewett, was born
in Lincoln parish, Louisiana,
March IL, 1881. Joined the Mis-
sionary Baptist church when
about 13 years OF age and it is
needless TO say that she lived Il
live, active and consistant Chris
tian life up to tho day of her
death, which sad occurrence took
place Mar. l, 1904.
She was married to Mr.. A. I.
Drewett Sept. rs, 1902. She was
we'll educated, holding a first
grade certificate as a teacher; had
secured and commenced teaching
a school ut Sardis churchia Winn
parish when she was seized with
the fell disease consumption.
She had to abandon her school at
once and gradually grew worse
until the messenger came.
It was the pleasure of this
writer to form her acquaintance
/ in the town of WINFIELD in the
early part of the year 1903, and
can truthfully say that l never
met a more profound Christian
lady. Her face always seemed to
be agIow with a radiant light of
Christian love while her heart
seemed to burn with the fire of
Eheayeo. Her greatest delight
WAS to talk of her blessed Christ
Eand what be had done for her.
|She loved the association Of
children, whom she took 80 much
delight in teaching. She loved
ther church and pastor, in fact she
loved all good people wherever
she found them irrespective OF
lchufch relation. And now that
she IS gone we can realize that the
lchurck has lost one Of its best
Christians and the world one OF
Its ! brightest lights. for she
WAS known throughout her
acquaintance as . very influential
| Christian.
May the good Lord comfort the
Ibereaved ones and help them to
take their eyes off the world
land look to their blessed Savior
rs she did and say
Thou art gone, our precious darling,
Never cxnst thou return;
Thou shalt sleep peaceful slumber
Til The resurrection morn

PROcT0R'S

One of the best known mel odramas

her greatest and most lasting triumph.
This piece will be given an elaborate
revival at the One Hundred and
Twenty-fifth street theatre next week
by the permanent Proctor stock COM
pany, which will be seen in its
changed form for the first time. Miss
Beatrice Morgan, a clever and I'M
usually versatile actress who is not
alone, powerful in dramatic roles, but
clever at comedy as we'll, will assume
the role originally sustained by Miss
Morris.
Harry Kellar, the greatest magician
now living, comes to the Fifty eighth
street theatre next week, where he
will present his new program of
magic and mystification. Prof. Kellar
spent some time abroad this SUMMER,
picking M the newest tricks of the
leading European manufacturers, and
his newest Offering is far in excess of
the old In point of appeal. His levita-
tion of the Princess Karnc, which has
never been equalled OIL even APP
preached, remains one of his chief
novelties, while Fly To and the
Yoge's lamp are also retained.

Every Citizen of Colorado Springs
who knew anything Of the character
Of the late W. s. Stratton will believe
that righteous verdict was rendered
Yesterday in the United STATES court
in the SUIT brought by the Venture
corporation against the trustees of the
Stratton estate. The suit involved
20 q large extent the honor of the late
mine owner, in his dealings with the
company. and it will be gratifying to
all his friends to know that his good
name has been yindicsted, both in
regard to the alleged sailing of the
mine, and alao with respect to the
contract entered into for the sale OF
the stock which he received in pay
ment for the Independence mine.
W. S. Strstton was a thoroughly
honest man in all his dealings, When
he sold mine or any other property
he stated the case exactly as 1T was.
and when he bought anything he
wanted the best ana was willing to
pay the price for it,
The decision in this case will con.
clude one OF the largest matters OF
litigation against the estate and will
be long step forward toward the
settlement which will enable the ex-
ecutors to proceed along the lines laid
down by the deceased in his last will
and testament. Colorado Springs
