The Rev. C. N. Hoge came to Du.
range from Rico in 1879, and at once
set about to acquire the necessary
means to build a church on Second
street, on lots donated by the town
company. During the fall of 1879 a
church made of boards, battened and
with board roof, without floor was
erected.
The vestry consisted OF Charles
Newman, George T. Sumner, John
Taylor, j. l.. Pennington, r. II. Nc

being followed in 1894 by Rev. VIM.
Morrin. The present parochiaI resi-
dence was built under the supervision
Of Father Morrin who died in Denver
In 1902. There was then an inter-
regnum of six months during which
Rev. Fl. r. McCabe had charge Father
Hickey succeeded the Rev. McCabe
and considerably improved the church.
Right Rev. Bishop OF Santa Fe, had
charge OF the parish only a few
months when he was made coadjutor
to Most Rev. Arbishop Bourgade. This
was In July, 1902. One OF the longest
and most successful pastorate was
that of the Rev. John Duffy who was
rector of st. Columba's from July,
1902, to Jan. l, 1907 Father Duffy
made many useful improvements in
both the church and school buildings,
besides erecting several mission
churches, especially one at Ignacio for
the Ute Indians. Father Berkmeyer,
now assistant in Leadville, ably sec
onded Father Duffy's efforts and be-
came general favorite. The same Is
true of Father Whalen. now pastor
OF Buena Vista. During his long resi-
dence Father Duffy endeared himself
to Catholics and non-Catholics alike,
and at the beginning of the present
year resigned his charge to accept a
pastorate at Sheridan, Wyo. During
the past year the Theatine Fathers
from Rome attended to the spiritual
needs of the Mexican and Italian
Catholics in South Durango for whose
benefit they erected a school building
of native stone. They also have CON
troll of the outside missions and hope
soon to devote their more particular
attention to the Indians at lgnacio and
Cortez where suitable residence is
built in the district for one of the
fathers. For this work the Theatines
receive an annual appropriation from
the Catholic Indian bureau at Wash
ington, d. C. Their two Sunday masses
in Durango are well attended by all
nationalities.
Father Callahan, the present pas
tor OF st. Columba's church, succeed
ed Father Duffy. No doubt under his
supervision the future of the church
Will keep pace with its past.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH
SOUTH

The Methodist Episcopal church was
organized in the early part of 1882
by young preacher barely 81 years
oil age, o. f. Sensabaugh who came
from North Carolina bearing the Cos
pei message. He was in some re-
spects like John the Baptist preach
ing in the wilderness, since his church
was without house or home and he
had to preach at the residences of
members and those friendly to the
mission he came upon. The Baptist
being without a pastor kindly allowed
him the use of their church for hold
ing services for several weeks. Grad
ually gathering together small mem
bership. he was enabled to purchase
a small house In Animas City, which
had at one time been used as a drug
store and this became the house of
worship, until in the fall and spring
of 1883 and 1884 church was erected
In North Durango where 1t now stands
and Is known as the North Side Stone
church.
He also succeeded in erecting a com
modious brick parsonage. The church
and parsonage are each free from any
Indebtedness. From time to time diff
ferent pastors have occupied the par
sonage and filled the pulpit of the
North Side Stone church and the
Methodist Episcopal Church South has
been one of the potent factors in
building up Durango's reputation for
neat and convenient church buildings
and progressive thought along religi-
Gus lines. Judge B. F. Houx is the
veteran Sunday school superintendent
OF the North Side Stone church and
through his efforts the Sunday school
interests are always kept. up.

Bread and butter and preaching did
not go together in those days, SO he
opened school. He whipped one of

fellow. The father. himself, after a
few days, went 10 the little Methodist
preacher and invited him to a chicken
dinner.
About that time Griffin induced
w. Fl. Howard to come out from
Kentucky and teach and preach at
Pennington. That school to Howard
was embodied hell. Thoroughly en-
ragged he went to Griffns adobe to
dcnounce him in unmeasured terms.
As he approached the dirt daubed
house he heard talking. Just my

down on that dirt floor. stretched at

Howard had no quarrel with Griffin

this man never tagged. He sowed

years from now. Cancer came. Grif-

Vagrant Cur Bites Danville Boy.

A vagrant dog Of very treacher-
Gus disposition is causing some un-
easiness in the vicinity of Ferry
street, between Center and Cham
bers streets. A few days ago he
bit boy named Andrew Murray,
who is suffering considerably from
the effects of the wound. Several
persons are said to have narrowly
escaped being bitten by the dog,
which without the least provocation
is in the habit of swapping at the
passerby. The cur will be very
apt to pay the penalty of his treach-
cry with his life one of these days.
Thus far, however, he has manag-
ed to escape although several par.
ties are looking for him.
The above is from the Danville
NeaoS, and we observe that in
Bloomsbury the tramp ours, male
and female, are perambulating the
town, committing all sorts of nui-
sances, in all places, blocking up
and holding possession of the side
walks, aud obliging pedestrians to
give way to them TO. fear of dam.
age or dirt. Have not our citizens
submitted long enough TO the OBJ
scenity of these dirty dogs and to
their obtrusivenessp Is the partl,

ing predecessors
We beg the ladies to take up the
cudgels and drive the dogs off the
streets.
