after Mrs. Drum got home before
she could tell her husband about it,

that saved her life. And yet she

Friday night was 50 quickly exiting

thing more than the common occur

Last night it was learned from Mrs.
Watson that Il pipe hole on the sec
ond floor had been covered with pa
per or muslin and Mrs. Connors. the
tenant, had started a fire in tho dir
ing room beneath. The covering ~
er the hole upstairs caught fire and
standing against the hole was u
handsome black walnut table, on
which Mrs. Connors had placed a
pile of winter underclothes, two pairs
of boys trousers, etc, which she had
taken out of some place where she
had packed them away. The things
were all burned and the table ruined.
Two ladders were placed against
the house and four Oh five men were
soon up and the chemical hose put
down the chimney which put the fire
out in a hurry. One man had his
hands badly burned.
The owner of the house Mrs. John
Watson, Jr., started to go in the back
gate of the yard when she was met
by a mass of burning clothing off of
the table. followed by a pail of water
which they had thrown out of a win
dow. Fortunately she was not hurt
by the fire or the bath. The side wall
of the stairs had the plastering off
and some damage was done to the
chimney. Mrs. Connors was not in

An ordinance was also passed pro- iLibiting minors from lOitering around saloons or gambling games and pro- viding a penalty of from five to twenty dollars fine or from one to ten days ! ..nDfIsonment.

The working of the Peach
Valley iron deposits is likely to
mean much more for this section
than most people realize. The
very fact that the Colorado Fuel
& Iron company have decided TO
use this ore insures that the de-
posits are valuable. An addition
al pay roll of several thousand
dollars, most of. which will be ex-
pended here, will serve as quite
q stimulus in a business way to
the already good trade that our
merchants enjoy. There are
indications that these ore heds
are much more extensive than
heretofore supposed and it is
likely that the deposits will be
worked almost indefinitely. It is
such enterprises as this that go
to build up a town and make
prosperous communities.

The papers over the western
slope are having considerable to
say regarding the action of the
local postoffice authorities here
holding up the papers Of the Ce-

determine whether or not the

that the Champion was held up
while three other county papers,

seem like unjust d scrimination,

that it was only q test case"
