SAVED BABY
LYONS LIFE
Untold Suffering and Constant
Misery-AwfuI Sight From that
Dreadful Complaint, lnfantiIe E.
zema-Commenced at Top Of his
Head and Covered Entire Body.
MOTHER PRAISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Our baby had that dreadful com
plant, Infantile Eczema, which afflicted
him for several months, commencing at
the top of his head, and at last covering
his whole body. His sufferings were
untold and constant misery, in fact,
there was nothing we would not have
done to have given him relief. The
family doctor seemed to be wholly
incapable of coping with the case, and
after various experiments of his, which
resulted in no benefit to the child, we
sent to Macon, ILL.,, to a druggist and got
a full set of the Cuticura Remedies and
applied as per directions, and he began
to improve Immediately, and in about
three or four days began to show q
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in year. In about ninety
days he was fully recovered, with the
exception of rough skin, which is
gradually disappearing, and eventually
will be replaced by healthy one. n
Praise for the Cuticura Remedies
has always been our greatest pleasure,
and there is nothing Too good that we
could say In their favor, for they Ger.
, tainly saved our baby's life, for he was
the most awful sight that ever beheld,
prior to the treatment of the Cuticura
Remedies. Mrs. Maebelle Lyon, 1926

FATAL WRECK
GREAT NORTHERN ORIENTAL
LIMITED DITCHED NEAR La
Sc. KOTA-TWO KILLED AND
. MANY INJURED.

Lakota, Nov. 23.-The Oriental
Limited on the Great Northern, was
wrecked near Doyon, seven miles
west of Lakota, about midnight
Wednesday. .5 ~,
Two men were instantly killed and
a large number of persons more OF
less injured.
Every car on the train was de.
rallied, but only one was overturned
The accident was due to spreading
rails. g s'.2*s fssz Z - j.. .>
The train was running at high
rate Of speed when the accident oc-
Cured, as Engineer Comfort was en-
deavoring to make up lost time
When the accident occurred Fire
man Rice jumped and saved his life.
Engineer Comfort was cut in two
by the running board of the engine
and died seated in his place. He had
shut off the steam, but apparently
made no effort to escape. When his
body was finally reached he seemed
to be gazing ahead as if alive.
Fireman Morrisette, who was dead
heading to Minot, was also cut in
two.
When the rails spread, the engine
went off on the right side of the
track and the tender on the south
side. The mail car followed the
tender, running past the engine and
turning completely around. The ex-
press car followed the mail car.
The most of the injured were the
occupants of the smoking car and the
tourist coach. These two cars stayed
on the track till they hit the engine.
Both were derailed and the tourist
car went over on it's side, the oc-
cupants being rescued through the
windows of the car. There were
sixteen children, twenty women and
some men in that car.
:, The occupants of the diner were
badly scalded, but otherwise unin-
jured.
There appeared to be three distinct
shocks in the accident and the pas
sengers are congratulating them
selves the results were no worse.
A special was made up at Lakota
and the injured taken to the Grace
hospital in that town, where they
were given medical attention. x
A company of soldiers enroute to
Fort Assinaboine, were in the cars
and all were more or less shaken up.

THE FORTNIGHTLYI
DELIGHTFULLY."- ENTERTAINED
IFS FRIENDS AT THE HOME
OF MISS WILLIAMS.

The members of the FortnightIy
club had another of those delightful
meetings last night which always
mark the annual gatherings Of this
literary organization, and if any
thing the pleasures of this ninth
annual rather eclipsed those Of
previous occasions. This being the
only time in the year when the male
attachments of the ladies are allowed
within the holy precincts of the club
that gentry felt quite frisky and at
certain stages of the proceedings are
reported as behaving in anything but
the dignified manner usual with the
alleged head of the house. =
The evenings entertainment OPP
ened with a piano solo by Miss Will

by Mrs. Tubbs. Z 5 r.

read a pleasing selection, which was
followed by vocal duet by Mrs.
Tubbs and Miss Jones. =,
Just at this point disorder seized
the gathering and for time it was
thought the police would have to be
called, but it turned out to be
nothing more than an impromptu
masque ball, which greatly shocked
the reverend seigniors present. The
obstreperous advisory board was
finally subdued and order restored,
when refreshments were served, the
various table parties having been
selected haphazard during the
masked disturbance. d. ~ Z, g
The several tables were beautifully
decorated with cut flowers. AT the
conclusion Of the banquet Mrs. Bud
long called the gathering to order
and. presided as toastmistress in her
usual graceful way at the feast of
reason which was as follows:

Prosperity Abounds.

Many new settlers are coming into the
Divide country this fall, and this is par
ticulary noticeable in Ebert and nearby
vicinity. There are number of causes
for this influx of new people, chief Of
which is the advertising given this local
ity by the holding of the Elbert County
fair at Elbert for the past three years.
The advertising done by the Elbert
Commercial club has also been an i'm
portant factor in settling up this country
and the real merits of the country, the
low prices of land, pure water and con
tinuous sunshine, all attract intending
settlers from the east to this portion OF
Colorado. The Divide country is all
right. There will not be many potatoes
shipped out of here this fall, but the
grain crop is immense, prices are good
and the people as whole are prosperous
and happy.
