Senator E. T. Taylor has been rid
ing to his office in hack the past few
days. This is not because the senator
is proud, but for the reason that the
great toe of his left foot is done up
in splints, as it were, which precludes
the possibility of Mr.. Taylor wearing
shoe. The cause of the mashed con
dition of that toe is variously guessed
at but the senator innocently declares
to his friends that he dropped a heavy
water bottle on it. Inasmuch as Mrs.
Taylor is not feeling very well these
days, Ed has induced some of his
friends to believe his story that the
injury was self inflicted and that the
medium of offense really was a water
bottle.

not being congenial to Mr.. Connery
nor to his wife, he Immediately pro-

showed signs of fight. At this Mr..
Connery started in and it was not

eastward. Mr.. Connery in the melee

Owing to the collapse of two aban-
doned rooms in the Boston Colorado
Coal mine at South Canon, what
promised to be IA serious fire started
from spontaneous combustion on
Wednesday. The prompt action of
the management in placing the entire
force at the mine to fight the fire in
six hour shifts, resulted in placing
the blaze under control so that no
serious results are anticipated. Had
a few hours more been allowed to
pass, the fire would probably have
gotten such a start that the entire
mine would have been damaged. AS
it is, the damage will not he great
unless the fire again gains headway.
