the Examiner says: "The operate
Due Novelty by Harry Chapson was
indeed a novelty and one of the big
hits of the evening. Mr.. Chapson, who
is gifted with double voice, was at
tired in female role on his right side,
while on his left he wore an evening
dress suit He rendered song that
was greeted with prolonged applause"
In conclusion the Examiner says the
performers executed their stunts with
great deal more cleverness than
most of the professionals that travel
through the country in such aggrega-
tions. Nearly thousand dollars was
taken in at the door as a result of
the entertainment.

for a visit with their son-in-law and

Worrell, on Lincoln Park. They reach
ed Canon City late Tuesday afternoon,
having been on the Rock Island train
which was rendered helpless on the
plains by the explosion OF the boiler
on the locomotive early that morning.
Their relatives here were naturally
uneasy about them on learning OF the
accident, but they were uninjured, al
though they were the victims OF q de-
lay that was most annoying and dis
agreeable.
Mr.. Young is retired farmer Of
Cass county. Nebraska. and has re-
presented the people of his district

MOONLIGHT EXCURSION
A PLEASANT AFFAIR

The moonlight excursion through
the Roya lGorge to Parkdale Friday
night was an extremely pleasant af-
fair, although rather too chilly for
people who had failed to provide them
selves with the extra wraps necessary
to keep warm. There was a large
number OF Florence people among the
excursionists and all of them enjoyed
It hugely despite the failure Of the
train to stop at the Hanging bridge
and let them OF as they expected
would be the case.
The evening was perfect one, the
light, feecy clouds which passed the
upper atmosphere contributing rather
than detracting from the beauty OF
the surroundings.
There are few more majestic and
magnificent scenes in the world than
the Royal Gorge by moonlight. az
those who accompanied Friday nights
excursion are willing to testify.

TOOK SEVERAL SHOTS AT A
MOUNTAIN LION MONDAY

Harry T. Wallace took several shots
at a big mountain lion on the Hogback
about O'Clock Monday morning, but
failed to bag the quarry owing to the
uncertain light prevailing at that
hour.
Mr.. Wallace had gone out early to
try the accuracy of a new 30-30 calibre
rifle, and on reaching the lone tree
turn in the Skyline road, saw the lion
under a clump of small cedar trees
near the crest of the hill, about a
hundred an dtwenty-five yards ahead
OF him. The animal bounded away as
soon as he observed Mr.. Wallace, but
not until the latter had taken four

FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED
OUT SATURDAY MORNING

The fire department was summoned
to the residence of DR.. ]. w. Cannon
at 1104 Greenwood avenue, about 8
O'Clock Saturday morning to avert a
threatened confiagration. Smoke was
seen issuing from the roof of the
house and it was believed that fire
was raging in the attic, but an in
vestigation showed that the trouble
was due to a superheated stove in the
kitchen, which was scorching the
wainscoting few feet away and
sending up large volumes OF smoke
back Of the partition wall, which
found its exit under the shingles Of
the roof. The fire boys quickly To-
Gated the source of danger and by re-
moving 1t allayed the fears OF the
family. The prompt and efficient SER
vice rendered by the fire department
is strongly commended by DR.. Cannon.

gentlemen that came from Colorado
Springs to Canon City to assist in or
ganizing the first Masonic lodge ever
instituted in this part OF the Arkansas
valley.
Mr.. Young Is surprised at the rapid
growth Canon City has made since
that time. At first ne could not To-
cate the building in which the lodge
was established, but has since LEARN
ed that it took place in the old brick
structure at the southeast corner of
Main and First streets. This is not
the only time, however, that Mr..
Young has been in Canon City since
1868, as he and his wife stopped on
here a couple of years ago for brief
visit with some old friends and neigh
bors while en- route home from the
Lewis & Clarke exposition at Portland
Oregon.
Mr.. Young says he may make Canon
City his home some time, but he says
1t in a way that is not entirely assur-
ing. 1t would be satisfaction to his
relatives here IL they were convinced
that he was in earnest about 1t. Peo-
pie here would be only too glad to
make room for him in Canon City in
spite of his Taftonian proportions. His

SAW MOUNTAIN LION
NEAR SODA POINT

That there are mountain lions near
town, and that too of large size, is
the testimony of DR.. F. N. Carrier and
DR.. r, E. Holmes, who saw magn1-
ficent specimen of these great cats
short distance beyond Soda Point
little after o'clock Friday night,
while driving out towards Three Mile
Spring.
Just before reaching the first pow
der house, a couple of hundred yards
the other side of the first powder house
the "varmint' came down the slopes
of the Hogback and crossed the road
at a bound a few rods ahead of the
horses attached to the carriage In
which the two gentlemen were riding.
The horses were terrorized by the
appearance of the strange animal and
it was all that DIR. Carrier could do
to hold them in check and prevent
them from running away.
The lion looked as large as yearl-
ing calf to the two physicians, who OF
course were greatly astonished at Its
appearance.
at seemed to be about eight feet
long" said DR.. Carrier, "but," he con-
tinued, at might have been a few
inches. shorter than that as the moon
was obscured by light, fieecy clouds
at the time and we were unable to
get very exact measurements of It,"
After crossing the road the lion
jumped down in Sand creek and a
few seconds later disappeared in the
cedars north Of Kenley's ranch.
Mot for many yeara has a mountain
lion been seen so close to the city as
the one reported by Drs. Carrier and
Holmes, and timid people will be
glad If another one is not seen for the
next five hundred years.
Cañon City record., 1907-09-26

shots at him, none of which seem to
have taken effect.
Mr.. Wallace says the lion was a
splendid one and was about nine feet
in length as near as he could judge.
1t was of a yellowish color and had
the bushy tail characteristic of its
kind. 1t disappeared over the ridge
as soon as Mr.. Wallace shot and was
at once lost to sight in the rocks on
the western slope of the hill, but is
supposed to have descended into Sand
creek valley and crossed the public
road at practically the same place
that it was seen by DR.. Carrier and
DR.. Holmes a few nights ago.
1t appears that large mountain
lion has been seen by a number of
people within short distance OF
town within the last few weeks and
recently a ranchman living in Sand
creek valley had calf killed by one
of them. Lion have frequently been
seen during the last year on Eight
Mile Park and among the rocks near
the top of the Royal Gorge, but they
have been so crafty that very few
people have been able to get shot
at them.
1t is stated that at least three noun
tain lions make their habitat in the
canons and gulches between Fremonts
Peak and Parkdale an dthat the re-
preventative which has lately been
frequently the Hogback is one of the
trio.
. A mountain lion is not easily fright
ened away from his favorite loungine
place and it is probable that the one
seen by Mr.. Wallace on the Hogback
this morning will come back there in
a da yor two and fall victim to some
hunters rifle by reason of it's temerity

Rev. F. r. Hollenback. who recently
came to Canon City from Rocky Ford
to enter upon the pastorate Of the
First Methodist church, preached his
initial sermon here Sunday morning,
basing his remarks upon the text,
Blessed 10 the man who walketh not
In the counsel OF the ungodly and
standeth In the way Of sinners. nor
sitteth In the seat of the scornful."
His discourse was at once eloquent
and helpful and made an excellent
impression on all who heard him.
!, The church was nlled by a splendid
audience intent upon hearing the
new minister and the closest attention
was given to all that he said. than
which no higher compliment can be
paid to any man. The full choir was
present and q nne musical program
was rendered. Rev. Hollenback comes
to Canon City under the most favor
able auspices for successful minis

hopes of his friends will be realized.
