La Junta tribune. (La Junta, Bent County, Colo.) 1881-1939, 1906-09-15

That the brotherhood of man is
not dead sentiment was evidenced
by little affair which occurred on
Monday evening at the millinery
store of Miss S. f. Pitts, when one
of her friends took her out for a
drive and score of others took
charge of her living room at the
rear of the store and placed therein
various articles of comfort and con-
venience. giving a more homelike
appearance. and replacing some
of the furniture destroyed by fire.
The affair was financed by the
Ladies' Circle, the Yeoman, and a
few outside friends who would not
be denied the opportunity of ex-
pressing in this manner their SYM
pathy for Miss Pitts in the misfor-
tune which overlook her, when. in
the short space of an hour she saw
the accumulations of years go up in
smoke. Her loss was great, but it
was worth something to see the
smiles that wreathed the faces of
those who brought their tokens of
friendship and good wishes Monday
evening to testify their sympathy.
1t has never been the privilege of
the writer to see a more thoroughly
happy gathering.

An alarm of fire Thursday after
noon was oecasioned by a blaze in
the Woodruff row" near the brick
yard. The second house from the
west end of the row was burned TO
the ground. There was a very high
wind raging and if it had been COM
ing from any other direction the en-
tire row would have been DESTROYED.
The house was occupied by C. E.
Butts. an employe on the rip
track, who came here about two
months ago from Hutchinson, Kan.
The fire was caused through care
lessness in handling a gasoline
stove The lady of the house ignit-
ed the burner and went out in the
back yard for moment while the
gas was generating. When she re-
turned the walls of the room were
ablaze. Very little if any of the
furniture was saved. and Mrs. Butts
hair and eyebrows were singed and
hands slightly burned in her efforts
to save some of the furniture. There
was no insurance.

The High School offers two
courses, aiming to afford in either
an all-around development suited to
the particular needs of the student.
In both courses the utilitarian as

course will carry with it all the Dig

for general business and professional
training. TINS course will be found

Indicative of La Junta's progress
and prosperity is the growth and
development Of her public school
system. The city schools opened
this week for the fall term and at
this time it is an interesting thing to
look back and make comparisons.
EWenty-nine years ago, way back in
1877, the first school district was

school room was of cottonwood logs,

tion was thirty and the adobe build
