to seek refuge at the house of neigh
Dor. They drove up to the gate and
Mr.. Hun got out TO tie the horses, tell
Ing his son to run TO the house as
quickly as possible and get out of the
rain. The boy needed no urging, but
had taken hardly more than dozen
steps when he was stricken down by
a thunderbolt and killed. The father
received shock from the electric cur
rent and for few seconds was rem
dered unconscious.
AS soon as possible Mr.. Hun ran
over to where the boy lay and lifted
MN up, peheNins He hau ohi' oeeh
stunned. II required only a glance to
see that the boy was dead and that his
clothing had been set on fire by the
thunderbolt He was carried into the
house and this morning brought 10

taking pariors where the body was
prepared for burial.

HAVING A FINE TINE IN
CAMP on THE NAVAJO

Frank p Smith came home Monday
night from the Navajo river. about
twenty miles north OF Edith, Colorado.
where he went couple OF weeks ago
with the Blggs- -McI.ain- -Smith-Galley
fishing party. He was accompanied
by his wife and son as Gar as Alamosa,
the two latter stopping there for a
short visit with relatives before re-
turning TO Canon City.
Mr.. Smith reports most enjoyable
trip and says fishing was good and
that everybody In camp will come
home with delightful memories OF their
outing. The party. which is one OF the
largest OF the kind that ever left here
on n similar expedition. has been an
exceedingly happy one in ali respects,
there being neither accident nor mis-
fortune n any kind TO mar its enjoy
ment
The camp was pitched well up to-
ward the summit of the mountains and
the weather was cool enough to give
energy and appetite 10 the pleasure
seekers The party had eight tents
and Its larder was supplied with every
thing that was good to eat, and that
fact coupled with the social amenities
OF the occasion and the beautiful
mountain scenery which surrounded
them rendered their outing one of
more than ordinary pleasure.
Among the enioyments was horse
back riding, fishing, mountain climb
Ing and a score of other amusements.
Camp will be broke next Monday
and It's members will return here a
few days later Mr.. and Mrs. Galley
are expected home Wednesday.

WILL HAVE ONE OF BEST
SYSTEMS IN THE WEST

When the improvements now being
made TO the local system by the Color
ado Telephone Company under the di-
reotion of Superintendent Caveney, are
completed. Canon City will have one
of the most up-to-date plants of its
kind in the state. and in point of equip
ment and efficiency, second to none in
communities of this size in the coun-
try.
A new building especially adapted
TO its purposes has just been complet-
ed at cost of over $4,000 and will be
occupied as soon as the cables are
strung. of which there will be about
ten miles within the city limits.
The new switch boards will necessi-
tate an outlay of $4,000 and the other
improvements nearly as much more,
An additional line is being built to
Cripple Creek TO accommodate the in
creasing business with that city and
Denver.

DOZIER AND M'KENZIE
PLATING THEIR LAND

Dozier and Mckenzie. who own the
1900 acres OF land lying east of the
city, have had the tract surveyed and
laid out in five and ten-acre divisions
which they are planning TO sell TO
people who are in quest of homes in
the vicinity of the city. The property
is admirably located and the new sub
division will be known as Grand View.
The recently opened county road
from Canon City TO Florence runs
parallel with the property and crosses
the new bridge over the river near the
McCumber ranch. Shade trees have
been planted along this road and in a
few years It will become one of the
most delightful drives in the neigh
borhood of the city.

FILE REPORT OF CIVIL
SERVICE EXAMINATION

The report of the secretary of the
board in the civil service examination
held in the court house on June 80 for
the positions of clerk and letter car
rier at the local postoffice, was filed
with Postmaster Lewis yesterday. The
examination was in reading, writing.
arithmetic, geography, history and 9TH
er common branches, also in reading
addresses, etc. The names of the can
didates and their percentages are as
follows:
Mcpherson c. Maddox. $500; Walter
C. Richards, s4.15; Claude NJ. Benton.
5000; Jesse NJ Jenkins, 77.45; Ira s.
Slater, 1850. These names constitute
the eligible list and the postmaster
may, under the law select any one of
the first three for any vacancy that
may occur in the classes for which the
examinations were taken.
Cañon City record., 1906-07-26

in various parts of the devastated sec
ton Immediately afterward. He stated
by way of prelude that anything like
a comprehensive account of the great
earthquake was impossible for the rea-
son that no man could have been in
all parts of the city on that fateful
morning to see It's effects. The only
thing that he could do would be to
recount his own experiences which
were no more thrilling than those of
thousands of his fellows.
The awfulness of the earthquake and
few parallels in human history and
viii never be forgotten by those who
witnessed them. The fire was far
more destructive than the earthquake,
and in the sixty hours which it ragged
burned over an area of nearly 1900
acres, rendering 100000 people home
less and obliterating the fruits of sixty
years of human toll.
Rev Fisher paid a splendid tribute
to the courage and resourcefulness of
Brigadier-G General Funston, command
ing the department of California, and
of the splendid services given to the
city in its hour of trial by the soldiers
stationed at the Preside. The soldiers
brought order out of chaos and made
life and property secure. The gener-
osity of the people of the United States
toward San Francisco will endure in
the memory of those who were recipi-
ents OF the public bounty as long as
life shall last, and stimulated in them
a stronger charity and fraternal feel
ing than ever before.
"The cry of Distress" said Rev.
Fisher. will always find a ready re-
sponse with the people of San Fran
cisco. With one of the safest and most
magnificent harbors in the world, San
Francisco cannot help but rise from
its ashes in greater granduer than
ever for IL is the gateway through
which must pass large part of the
worlds merchandise. The Mediteran-
can sea was for centuries the chief
theatre of human commerce. 1t is now
the Atlantic ocean, but in time this
distinction will be transferred TO the
Pacific, as in the countries bordering
thereon reside one billion people, or
two thirds OF all that live upon the
earth's surface.
