A REVOLUTIONARY ANCESTRY.

Rachel Samantha Minor was grand daughter of Phineas Gorham, who was veteran hero of the Revolutionary
 war of 1776. He was in actual service the whole of that eventful period of seven years. He was one of the fore most of that resolute band of heroes at the battle of Bennington. They were armed with the irresistible, de- termination to win the fight or die on the field. They were crowned with the glory of true patriotism. On the 16th day of August, 1776, the battle was fought and they won the victory, which was not only an honor to themselves but to all posterity. There stands the Bennington battle monument, 3O6 feet high, in honor of the victory won at that battle. Phineas Gorham was wounded once. A musket ball came from the enemy and cut his face; that was about close enough. He was at the surrender of Burgoyne at Saratoga; also at the execution of Major Andre. So you see that this granddaughter of Phineas Gorham, Rachel Samantha Minor, was from good ancestry.

ROXBURY.
ALBERT THOMAS KILLED.


 The dispatches announce a terrible wreck on the Chicago Great Western at-IDl ersville, in which four people age sustained. Among those killed Is Albert Thomas of Green Mountains, son of Mir and Mrs Walter Thomas, of that place. The body was ldentlned by papers on the young mans person. MT Thomas was on his way rom BlOckton to the eastern horse market, in charge of load of horses that had been purchased in the southern part of the state. Walter Thomas, the young mans father, had oeen WlGn his son on the southern trip ana left the train at Green Mountain, Thurs day, at ll.3O. The wreck occurred Thursday evening, resulting from a rear end collision in which the second section of the train crashed into the first. Thomas was in the way car of the first section. Albert Thomas was 23 years of age and was native of Roxbury. He came to Green Noun tain with his parents five years ago and until two years ago was employed man, who is in the grain business. MT Thomas has been identified with his father and uncle in the horse shipping business. MT Thomas had been in the habit of accompanying the horses shipped by the firm to the eastern market, afforded principally in MaSSa- chuSetts and Connecticut. When the body was identified, and the consign- ment of horses was found to have been made from BlOcktOn, that place was notified of the death, telegram ar rived at Green Mountain later from Blockton, and Dyersville was instruct tn gnnd Mnnn, tain. MT Thomas is survived by his parents, three brothers, Ambrose, Clayton and Raymond Thomas, and one sister, Miss Ethel Thomas.
 Details of the wreck: The wreck occurred shortly before o'clock and was caused by the second section of a stock train No. 60, dashing into the l caboose of the first section of the same train. Dyersville is situated be- | tween two hills and trains must come | into the station on the down grade | and go out on an up grade. The first | section of No. 60, had stopped to get | orders to take on "puSher" to help | it over the hill. This section was heavily loaded with stock. The order for the puSher was received, the en- zine coupled on, and the train was about to pull out when the second sec tion came over the hill. This section consisted of about 40 cars, mostly re- frigeraJors, loaded. It is supposed that the second section was making a run for the hill at terrific speed, run ming at perhaps not less than 60 miles an hour. Either the flagman had not done his duty or the crew was unable to see him for the snow which was blowing to some extent at the time, for when they discovered the first sec tion there was no time to stop and the heavily loaded train crashed into the puSher engine attached to the first section with terrible force. The inn pact was terrible and the force was so great that the caboose in which the ill-fated stockmen were riding was crushed into kindling wood and the men probably died without struggle.

NEW YEAR
RECEPTION

The residence of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ
B. Hazeltine was thronged with New
Year callers on New Years afternoon,
at the reception given by Mrs. Hazel
tine and Misses Drake, Fisher and
Criley. The rooms we're very taste
fully decorated for the occasion with
violets and carnations, and in the din
ing room there was huge punch bowl
filled with fruit punch which was
served to the guests. In the middle
of the bowl a large piece of ice deco
rated with violets floated on the
punch, giving a very beautiful effect
without in the least deterioratIng
from the quality of the punch.
Among those who called to pay their
respects to the hostesses of the after
noon we're a number of ladies, although
the gentlemen were in the majority.
In addition to the refreshing punch,
coffee and sandwiches we're also served
all the guests who called.
The revival of this old and time
honored custom of New Years day
receptions is a good omen as it is a
pleasant way of spending a portion of
the initial dag of the new year, the
social feature of which is elevating
where properly observed.

A Unique Party.

Geo. Hartman and Hill c. Moore,
Cd Christmas day, were out in the
Lynx creek mining district engaged in
doing annual assessment work on some
mining claims owned by them. They
were considerable distance away
from other mining camps and were the
only occupants of their own camp.
There we're no children near, whose
hearts they could gladden. on the
bright, cloudless Arizona Christmas
day, although they had the
Christmas spirit strong in their hearts,
and they determined on having a
Christians observance, even in the
Loneliness of their camp and gave
probably as unique and original a
Christmas tree as was ever given. 1t
was Christmas tree for the birds.
They secured a nice young pine tree
about twelve or fifteen feet high and
about twelve feet across from the tips
of the branches. On the night before
Christmas they hung meat, bread,
rice and other delicacies which birds
like on this tree, just loading it
down, and on Christmas day they had
probably the biggest Christmas party
held in Arizona. Mr.. Moore says the
birds fiocked there by the hundreds,
and partook of the feast provided for
them, and as they satisfied their hun
ger they few away and apparently
notified others, as their places on the
tree would soon be occupied again.
A sufficient supply was placed on the
tree to last for two days ap1 the
Christmas party was kept up for that
period. Mr.. Moore states that they
had as happya time watching their
feathered guests, as they ever exper-
| fenced on a Christmas day. Blue
birds, also known as camp robber,
and quail, were the principal varieties
of birds which partook of their Christ
mas cheer. He also stated that they
had made friends of the birds before
by feeding those which appeared
around the camp, but they had never
had such swarm of them as came tc
their Christmas party.
