AN OLD SOLDIER
CHEERED TO ECHO

A noteworthy incident occurred dur
ing the discourse OF Rev. Sunday at
the Tabernacle last Monday night
which we cannot refrain from mem
tioning In the course of his sermon
he referred to the goodness OF God in
causing Providence Spring to burst
its way through the dry, parched earth
inside the dead line'' in Audersonville
prison during the civil war and save
the lives OF hundreds of enfeehled SOL
diers who must otherwise have perished
from thirst, and, incidentally, asked IL
there was anyone present who had the
misfortune TO be prisoner within the
Andersonville stockade when this
signal manifestation Of the Divine care
took place. In reply To the interroga-
tory @. J. Talledge, Of South Canon,
stood up and was loudly cheered by
the great audience. The patriotic in
stiuct is strong in all men and they
delight to honor those who were par
ticipants in history making epochs.

SOUTH CANON GIRL
TIRES OF LIFE

Miss Lillian Lewis, aged about
nineteen years, shot herself with s
thirty-two calibre revolver at her
home in South Canon about 5 O'Clock
last Monday afternoon with suicidal
intent, the bullet striking her in the
forehead and ploughing its way for =
distAn,e Of about three inches through
her skull. She evidently placed the
muzzle of the revolver against her
forehead and pulled the trigger, but
held it little too high fo- the ball
TO penetrate the brain. although the
Uranium WAS fractured by it, She
WAS taken to DR.. Graves hospital
where the wound was dressed and
where she was made as comfortable as
the nature of her injury would per-
nit
What prompted the unhappy girl to
attempt to take her own life is mys-
terry that will, probably, not be solved
until returning consciousness enables
her to make an explanation of the
matter.

Although her injury is serious it is
believed that Miss Lewis will recover.

BIGGEST STORM IN
EVER IN THE VALLEY

The Arkansas valley was visited last
Sunday and Sunday night by the
heaviest rain and snow storm expert
enced in this section in months and
considerable damage was done in con-
sequence. During the forty-eight
hours ending at noon on Monday there
was a precipitation of more than two
and a quarter inches of water and the
ground was soaked with moisture as
it had not been for nearly a year.
The streets were converted into
lakes by the melting Of the snow on
Monday and where there no sidewalks
pedestrians had to wade through mud
and slush several inches deep. The
weight Of the snow broke many trees
down and orchardists suffered as a re-
suit The local telephone and the
electric light services were demorsliz-
ed for several hours and it WAS impos-
sible to communicate with Florence.
Pueblo, Cripple Greek or Denver all
day Monday. The snow caused big
rock slide in the Royal Gorge and eI-
press trsins Nos. 8 and ls were detain-
ed on the west side Of II for several
hours Monday morning. There were
also two or three rock slides between
here and Pueblo that caused . tempo
rary interruption Of traffic.
In some places vegetables that were
just coming up were washed out by the
rain and will have to be replanted.
of the heaviest ever known At this sea-
son of the year.

DALI De WEESE'S
FISH ALL LIVED

Dali DeWeese went up TO the reservoir
of the DeWeese-Dye Ditch company
in the Wet Mountain valley last week
and while there turned loose $1,000
trout IN the big lake at the head of
Grape creek. A remarkable thing in
connection with the liberation of these
trout il the fact that not = single
that interyened from the time they
were taken out of the hatchery until
they were turned loose IN the waters
of the reservoir.
BY the use of ice the water in the
cans was kept at practically the same
temperature as the water in the lake,
which, probably, accounts for the sue
cess which attended their transporta-
tion. Mr.. DeWeese says that il the
farmers of the Wet Mountain valley
will put wheels al the mouth of the
creeks empting into the reservoir TO
prevent the fish getting up into the
fields snd dying from insufficient water
he will do the rest and that in the
course of a few years they will be af-
forded some of the best trout fishing to
b. found in southern Colorado.
Mr.. DeWeese contenplates liberat-
ing several thousand rainbow trout in
the reservoir as soon as he can procure
them: those turned loose last week
being the brook and native varieties.
The rainbow trout mature sooner than
the others and become large enough st
three years TO be taken without viola
tion of the statutes.

Injunction Trial
Before Judge Bailey
Try Prove Legal
Canon-Judge Later.

The attention of Judge Bailey OF the
district court was occupied yesterd ay
in hearing arguments on the motion
filed by attorneys for the defendant t
asking for dissolution of the iniunc-
tion restraining the aldermen elect
from taking the oath OF office as mem
bers of the city council and performin g
the functions which would devolve up
on them as members of that body.
Inasnuch as the case was one of more
than ordinary interest large numb er
Of spectators were present to listen to
the proceedings, which it was expected
would develop some nice points Of Law
The plea Of the attorneys for the de-
fendent praying that the injunction be
dissolved was based upon the theory
that sufficient justification did not
exist for the issuance Of the writ and
that it should be dismissed on that &C.
count. Attorneys for the complain ant
sllege that the old city council is the
de facto governing body of the city
and that the aldermen-elect must be
regarded as usurpers until they estab-
lish the legality of their election. It
is contended by attorneys for com :
plainant that the municipal election
held on the 4th inst. was null and void
by reason Of the irregulsrity Of official
notice as published in the newspapers.
Its failure to comply with the letter of
the statute, they maintain. invalidat es
the election.
Argument in the case closed about
8 o'clock yesterday afternoon and
Judge Bailey took the matter under
advisement promising to hand down q
decision in dayjor two.
