Mr.. GRANGER PLEASED
WITH CANON CIT,

Mr.. Changers enthusiasm over Csno,
City and its projects continue to in
crease with his stay here.
Those who know him best have little
doubt about the building Of the Canon
City and Florence electric line. He
sees possibilities in the town beyond
anything imagined by our most enthu-
siastic home boosters and he wants to
locate here. II he comes and builds th.
line he proposes it will mean much to
Canon.
To get the line s25 900 must be raised
This bonus is considered very reason
able by most people and there ought to
be no doubt about the ability Of our
people to raise it.
1t means, however, that every citizen
must do his part, and the subscription
list should be headed BY those owning
property along the line.
| The street car system will certainly
be OF marked benefit to every one hay-
ing interests in the city, but especially
SO to those holding farm lands or lots
out q little ways along the route.

about. $500 600.
It.is figured this way: A week ego
667 cars had been shipped from Canon.
More than TOO cars will have gone
out when all are shipped. They will

were served. On the upper left-hsnd
corner Of this miniature table Was fixed
a diminutive candlestick which held a
green wax taper, about two inches in
length, which was kept burning while
the guests were eating.
The refreshments were exceptionally
generous and appetizing, and that they
were enjoyed by the company, may be
inferred by the statement that it was
nearly midnight before the last course

Mr.. Carrier hired saddle horse at the
Palace livery stable Tuesday and rode
up in the neighborhood OF Dawson,
dismounted, tied his horse to tree
and started out to do some rabbit shoot
ing. As he had killed all the rabbits
he could conveniently bring to town.
he decided to go back to where he had
tied the horse and come home. Al
though he made what seemed to be a
thorough search of the locality where
he thought he had left the animal, he
was unable to find it, and as night was
coming on, he was compelled to walk
to town and report the matter to the
owners OF the horse. A searching party
found the missing horse the next morn

had left 1t the day before.

Fearing for the safety of her father
and mother, who were sleeping in an
adjoining room, pretty Bonita Bowen
daughter OF w. N. Bowen of 111S West
Eighth street, frightened burglar from
her home early yesterday morning.
The young woman was aroused from
her slumbers by the sound of footsteps
in the house. Not fearing for her own
life but that of her parents instead
the brave girl rose and began search
for the intruder.
Miss Bowen found the man prowling
about or the second floor of her home
and Immediately commanded the rob-
Der to leave the house. The man
dropped everything i'll his possession
and ran down stairs and out of the
house.
The noise awakened the parents of
Miss Bowen and an investigation was

MAY APPOINT MORGAN
Rumored That Oyster Man Will Suo-
ceed Gates on Police Commission
after January

1t is rumored that o. c. Morgan of
the Morgan oyster company will be the
Jne to step into the payless, thankless
job on the police commission left va
cant by the resignation of Lee G.
Gates, which will go into effect the
first of the year.
Mayor McAleer refuses to either af-
firm or deny the rumor OF Mr.. Nor
gan's possible appointment or to dis
cuss the subject in any manner. He
was much disgruntled yesterday at
what he considered the premature an
nouncement of Mr.. Gates resignation
and declared there was no vacancy On
the police board.
The mayors statement is partially
true, as the vacancy will not occur
until after January 1, but Mr.. Gates
has positively stated that he has
handed the mayor his resignation as
the press of his personal business is
too great to allow him the time to de-
vote to the citys interests.
