DEATHS
Humphrey.

Another Canon City pioneer has
passed away. Spencer w. Humphrey,
aged II years, was found dead at fls
home, 81 Macon avenue. last Thurs
day night. His death was probably
due to a stroke of apoplexy, as his
health had been fairly good up TO the
time of his death.
Mr.. Humphrey came to Canon CITY
about 1872, although he had been
resident of Colorado since before the
Civil war He was one of the original
"Pike's Peakers," and passed through
all the trials and vicissitudes incident
TO those early and exciting days.
Before coming to Canon he engaged
in various mining enterprises in Gill
pin county, California Gulch and other
mining regions of the state. In those
days he was we'll known throughout
Northern Colorado as one of the most
practical miners and mill men in the
state. After coming here Mr.. Hum
phrey engaged in the grocery business
where he built up a fine trade by pur-
SUNG plaln, Impartial, uluul anu
honorable business manner. He had
his own way of doing things and while
he courted favors of no one, was quite
successful He showed his confidence
in the future of the city by building
several business structures.
He was born at Lowville, N. Y. Be-
side widow he leaves one daughter,
Mrs. Frank Blackmer, of Albert Lea,
Minnesota, who arrived home Sunday
afternoon 1t is said of Mr.. Humphrey
that he fed more poor than any other
man in the state. While actively en-
gagged in business no one who asked
credit was ever refused, and when he
retired from business several years
ago there was over $4,000 on his
books charged off by kindly heart.
The funeral was held from his late
residence, 81 Macon avenue, Monday
afternoon at two o'clock. Rev. Mr..
Henderson of the Cumberland Presty-
terian church officiating.

TRIED TO RESTORE
LIFE BY FRAZER

Facts which have been kept secret
for two weeks, but which came to light
Wednesday. show that strange things
take place from time to time at the
Divine Healing home, sos East Pixies
Peak avenue.
Alexander Ross OF Canon City, who
had been in the home for nearly year
taking treatment for various diseases,
died in the presence of his wife and
baby, both of whom were residents of
the home
Immediately after his death, Miss
Liz;e Frazier. assistant superintendent
of the home, began praying over the
body that life might be restored. 1t
is said that she continued this for
more than twenty-fcur hours, and pro-
tested when an undertaken was finally
called at O'Clock Sunday evening.
She is reported to have said that If
she could pray over the body until
swered and that Mr.. Ross would be
brought back to the land of the living.
When asked about the Ross case on
Wednesday night, the Rev. G. F. Fink,
who has charge of the Divine Healing
Home, said: THAT took place while
| was in Denver, and ] am in no. way
responsible for 1t. The assistant sup
erintendent prayed over the body be-
cause she had faith that she could re-
store 1t to life. Although this has
been done in several instances, have
not this faith, and such action is
never held when / am at the home. -

A. Sunday coming along Dearborn

illness and death are, of course, with
out any foundation. l understand that
he will start to-day from Chicago to

duct a revival meeting. Mr.. Sunday
did great deal of good in Burlington,

Guy u Hardy,
Canon City, Colo,
Dear Strive are pleased to be
able to say that the Rev. w. A. Sun
day is neither dead nor even ill, SO far
as we are advised. He left this city
on Monday, December IS, bowling
farewell to crowd of several thou
sand people who had assembled at the
depot to see him off and we are per-
suaded that no man could have been
in better physical, mental, moral and
spiritual trim than was this gentle-
man at that moment At no time
during his meetings in this city was
he i'll. He was required to consult a
specialist at one time for his throat,
but that was all. During one of his
meetings, in order to make deep i'm
preston with a story which he told,
he sprang from the speakers platform
ment of an audience of 5000 men who
were listening to his address The
next day story was published in an
Illinois paper to the effect that he
had collapsed during the utterance of
a sermon, and we are of the opinion
that all these baseless rumors found
their start on that trifiing circum-
stance
Mr.. Sunday is scheduled to begin a
series of meetings at Rochester. Min
nesoto, on December 2S, and were we
bettors in disposition we would wager
a hat that he will be there.
Yours very truly.

O'Clock last Sabbath afternoon at her
fathers home on Elm avenue, Lincoln
Park. She was born in Henderson
county, Illinois, December 19, 1877.
She came to Canon City in October,
1908. The school year 1s04-'05 was

native state of Illinois.
Myrtle was a faithful member of
the United Presbyterian church, and
the funeral service was conducted by
the pastor in the church Monday af-
| ternoon at three O'Clock.
Her patience in suffering, her
thoughtfulness of others, her trium-
phant faith in her Lord Jesus Christ
revealed the genuineness of her Chris
tian character.
Her many friends are comforted by
the blessed hope that the spirit has
left ''the earthly house of this taber-
nacle for the house not made with
hands eternal in the heavens
The body was taken to Media, Illi-
nois, her former home and where three
of the five surviving brothers reside.
A brother, David Mathers of Potter,
Nebraska, came last Thursday morn
ing and accompanied the remains to
Illinois.

The DISEASE Is DURABLE
Livermore Herald

The disease which ranks second to
consumption in fatalities and which
has been deemed equally fatal is
Bright's disease. That II is now posi-
lively cuable Is known to compare
lively few people. Unfortunately, the
new specific for Bright's disease
comes under the head OF proprietary
preparations and medical ethics for
bid recognition of its merits. The
Herald takes the view that having
positive knowledge of cures effected
its duty to Its readers and to human
ity is to state the facts. The publish
er knows of two cases in which II
has effected permanent cures and of
two others who had practically aban-
doned hope, but who are now regain
ing their health. This paper is not
pecuniarily Interested and this state
ment is made solely with view OF
aiding such people as may be afflicted
with Birght's disease and have de-
SPARED of recovery. Should any such
receive benefit we will feel amply re-
paid for diverging from the beaten
journalistic path.--Liyermore, (Cal)

NEITHER TEAM IS ABLE TO
SCORE
YaIe's Quarter, e. Dillon, Proves a
Great Disappointment-W
of Orange and Black Saved
by Playing of Wister
BY Associated Press.


PRINCETON, N. j.. Nov. H.
Princeton and Yale played a 0 to 0
football game, the first time in nearly
twenty years that neither eleven has
scored.
The wearers of the orange and black
had confidently expected to win as the
Princeton team this fall was of the
best product and so hopeful were they
of ultimate success that odds of 8 to 8
were freel. accepted just prior to the
game that Yale would be defeated.
But the Princeton eleven of today was
disappointment, the lightning-like
plays which the coaches had been de-
pending on to confound the Yale boys
were lacking and e. Dillon, the Won
derful little quarterback on whom
such high hopes had been built, fun
bled miserably.
This was especially the case on
punts. But he made some pretty run
ming catches and once got away for a
run of As yards. His dropping of punts
would have resulted disastrously to
Princeton had it not been for the fast
work of Wister, Princeton's left end.
This player was all over the field and
his running down under kicks was
little short of marvellous
Princeton lacked a diversity of at
tack. She could not gain on fakes,
neither could she pierce the Yale line
with any degree of success. Yale, on
the other hand, was able to consis-
tently gain against Princeton'S line
and it locked as though the blue must
surely have scored a few minutes be-
fore the close of the game had they
stuck to straight football instead of
attempting fancy plays. Near the
finish Yale secured the ball in Prince
toms territory near the center of the
field.
BY the smashing of line in which
Morse, Lynne and Forbes made gains
Yale had the ball within a few yards
of Princeton's goal A delayed pass
was attempted, a Yale man was off
side and 1t looked like a possible
touch down for Yale, but it went for
naught Veeder attempted several
goals from the field, but Harlan, who
defeated West Point by his field goals.
did not get close enough to a goal
to try his usually sure foot
Several penalties were inflicted by
the officials and each team suffered
alike in this respect. Time was taken
out twice because of injuries to Prince
ton players, but Yale did not ask for
time in single instance. Captain
Dillon of Princeton was forced to re-
tire from the game, as was also Har-
Ian. At the last minute of play, with
Yale pushing the Princeton team
steadily toward the latter's goal. Yale
supporters yelled frantlcally Rome
