CARRIE NATION WAS PLEASED :
WITH HER VISIT TO CANON

Pueblo, Oct. las part of a fare
Carrie Nation allowed a few thoughts
to escape In words. to a number of
reporters who surrounded her at the
Union depot last Saturday. In rem
dering her opinion of Denver she de-
clared it to be the most wicked and
corrupt city in the state. She spoke
with some satisfaction of her unique
reception in Canon City and declares
here efforts were not In vain.
Although Carrie is approaching her
sixtieth mile stone, she is still full of
fight, and when she arrived here seven
hours late from Canon City and too
late to catch train for Rocky Ford,
where she was scheduled to lecture
last night, she began looking for a
place where she could hand out few
hot shots to the erring ones in Pueblo.
After she had tried to secure one of
the parks, the court house, and several
of the churches without success, she
finally made arrangements to make a
short talk at the hall af the Peoples
Mission on South Union. where she
drew a small crowd of curious ones.

up with the directors before they
would let me use the place.

only dive keeper in Canon iCty.

cluded Carrie. as she bit her lips,
that would not prevent me from at

Carrie states that there is grow

bition. and that Denver is the most
corrupt city in the state.

Statement = Second Baptist Church

To whom 1t may concern:
We the pastor and members of the
Second Baptist church of Canon City,
Colo, desire to make the following
statements in contradiction of a re-
port that is being falsely circulated
in the city relative to the members OF
the Second Baptist church splitting or
otherwise attempting to interfere with
the NJ. e. church in their work.
The facts are these:
The Second Baptist church was reg
ularIy organized May 1903, and con-
tinued to hold regular religious SER
1905, then Rev. John w. Evans re-
signed and left the work, and within
one months time or before we had
decided Just what we were going to
do, Rev. South, the presiding elder
OF the NJ. F. church was in the city
and organized another church and
rented the same building that was for
merly used by Baptists and used their
furniture and books. A few members
OF the Baptist church told the pastor
OF the Methodist church that they
would unite and work with him until
their own church, the Baptist. started
up again. and then they would go to
their own church which was thorough
ly understood by all concerned; and
they faithfully carried out their prom
ises until they decided to call pastor
of their own persuasion which they
believed they had a perfect right to do
and did do, and are now trying to glo-
rify God and save souls and are not
working for confusion as charged.

SLEEPING CARS
DERAILEO; NO
PASSENGERS HURT

Shelburne. VT, Dec. pa defective rail
threw two sleeping cars attached TO the
rear OF the Montreal express, bound Tor
New York over the Rutland railroad on
the track mile and a half north OF this
station last night. but none OF the pass
engers was hurt badly enough TO require
hospital attention.
That there were no fatalities or serious
injuries Is considered remarkable. as the
train, 40 minutes late at Burlington, WAS
running at a high rate OF speed 10 make
up the lost time. and the two ears, which
contained AZ passengerS ten Of whom
were women. were dragged on their sides
for over 100 yards. The most painfully in
jured was a woman. who sprained her
leg, but she was able 10 walk without as
sistance.
None OF the other cars left the irons and
after a delay OF an hour and half the
passengers OF the sleeping cars were
transferred 10 the forward cars and con-
tinued on to Rutland The accident was
caused by the breaking OF about five feet
OF the rail just as the first OF the two
sleepers were passing over IL.
The roadbed was badly torn up. and
the derailed cars will need extensive re-
pairs. A relief train was sent from Bur
lington with physicians but by the time
II arrived, all the passengers had crawlsd
out OF their overturned cars. and needed
little attention beyond the dressing or
