The second section of Rio Grande
Western tram No. was derailed
last Monday afternoon about six miles
west of Grand Junction, caused by

dozen passengers on the train, and of
these two were injured. They are

New Electrical CORtrivdnCe

H. o. Yewell of the Pullman Bar
has just put in new electrical cash
register which does almost everything
but ask what's yours?" 1t regis
ters the amount of each sale, and
totals the days business and in this
it is not unlike some other machines
but in addition to this it separates the
different items as ''bar, "bottled
goods, - ''pool and billiards, etc,
and clips oft ticket showing the date
of sale, department and amount of
purchase. Should the operator make
mistake by pressing the wrong but
ton, the error is easily corrected. The
machine is operated by a small motor
attached to one side, and this is ar
ranged for either the direct or alter
mating current and in case of failure
in the current the machine can be
operated by crank in the ordinary

of the flooring in the bridge at this
point, in order to reach his destina-

county commissioners awarded the
contract to company to put new
floor in the bridge here at Rife, and
although there was delay in getting
the necessary lumber, the same was
unloaded in the railroad yards some
time ago. All these weeks the holes
in the floor Of the bridge have become
more numerous and it is possible that
horse may break leg at any time
then the county will foot the bill. If
the company having the contract can

SAD ACCIDENT ON
CATTLE CREEK
Parents Return Home TO Find Child
Killed by Playmate

The people of Glenwood were
shocked last Saturday morning at the
report that Lottie, the s-year- old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Can
trell of Spring Valley had been shot
by her year old brother Howard and
almost instantly killed.
Mr. and Mrs Cantrell had come to
town early in the morning, leaving
Howard Lottie ami the baby at hcme.
The parents were horror stricken
when they heard of the death of their
little ones and at once hurried to their
home but life had left the little body
long before they reached it.
To them Howard claimed that a
strange man who passed that way took
the 22 calibre rifle from the wall and
shot the little girl, but later when
being pressed for the truth, said
the shooting was done by Ernest Crox-
ford, who had come ever to the Can
trell place to play.
This statement was corroborated
by the Croxford boy who admitted his
own guilt and explained in more or
less detail how it all happened. He
said they had decided to play hunt
ing bear and he and Howard we're
the hunters and Lottie was the bear.
Ernest took the rife from the wall
and pointed it both at Ilottie and at
the baby, swapping the hammer think
ing it was not loaded. Finally the
cartridge which had been in the gun
for some time exploded and Lottie
fell with a scream, pierced through
the head.
The gun was of special design and
it is said that the cartridge which
ended the little life was the only one
on the place which would fit the
weapon.
The funeral of the little girl was
held Monday afternoon, interment be-
ing in what is known as the Fisher
cemetery on Cattle creek. The
parents are well-known ranch people
and have the respect and sympathy of
the people of the community in which
they live.

The Moffat road follows the Grand
river west to this point and then
turns north toward Steamboat Springs.
This leaves gap Of but some forty
odd miles between the Moffat road at

most Incoming convinced that he was
doomed to join the ''Skunked Club
of which T. Roosevelt Jr., is a lead
ing member, Or. J. E. Westaver. the
st. Louis physician, on Tuesday joined

Oh. yes, the doctor got a "bar. -
Good big cinnamon, at that. The
"bar" was an old one. with fine,

and his old pelt when peeled off his

Of the snout to the lower extremity,
and five feet across.
The bear was landed in DEVILS s

was shot down by the doctor while
running away from the dogs, and after

Incidentally the dogs had few ad-
ventures. One of them. Rats. bright

Committed to Golden School

Tuesday afternoon Ernest Croxford.
on complaint of Fred Kenney, his
brother in law, was taken before the
county court and an application made
to have him committed to the state
industrial school for boys at Golden.
This is the boy who shot and killed
little Lottie Cantrell in Spring Valley
last Saturday His mother says he
is incorrigible and she joined in ask
ing that he be committed. Mrs.
Croxford is widow and is obliged to
earn her own living and says while
she was at her work it has been i'm
possible for her to keep the boy in
school or to keep advised as to his
whereabouts as he has we'll defined
propensity for "playing hockey
and getting into all kinds of mis-
chief. She thought it would bs bet
ter for the boy and better for her if
the boy could be sent to the state in
stitution as she says he has almost
driven her crazy by his disobedieuce
while his latest escapade thoroughly
convinced her that she could not keep
the boy with her and bring him up
properly.
Ernest himself seemed very anx-
ious to attend the state school as he
apparently realized to slight extent
his lost opportunities as he admitted
he was only in the fsrt grade when
In school He said he wanted to learn
and that he expected to be a carpen-
ter.
Judge Beardsley concluded that it
would be best for all concerned to
commit the boy to the home and this
was done and Sheriff Zimmerman left
with his youthful prisoner on Tues
days Midlapd train.
In the hearing Judge Noonan rep
resented the district attorney, while
G. c.. Parks, as a member of the
board of county visitors represented
the boy.

round Dead ia the field

Josiah B. Fuller. who lived on the
Holmes mesa in the Cache creek coun-
uy, died suddenly and apparently
without warning. Mr.. Fuller was go
years of age, unmarried and had lived
in Colorado about eight years. AL
though a ooroners inquest was held
the jury decided that death was from
natural causes.
The Rifle Reveille thus describes
the finding of the body
Last Saturday morning Mr.. Fuller
started blowing in his orchard. Later
in the day James Evans in passing,
driving some horses, noticed the team
standing in the furrow. and was at
tracted by their wbinneying, but
thought nothing in particular about
the matter. On his return home Mr..
Evans again noticed the team and his
attention was again attracted by their
peculiar actions. He decided to In
vestigate and was Mortified on nearing
the spot to find Mr.. Fuller dead lying
on his back with the lines still about
his shoulders. The team had turned
to one side and had eaten the foliage
from an apple tree close by, but mad
apparently made no effort to get
away. The appearance of the body
indicated that MIR. Fuller had likely
been in sitting posture when the
| final summons came, for it is rea'
soned that if he had fallen backwards
he would have turned his team from
the direction they were headed.

and Louise Lacy were each appreci-
ated. Little Miss Katie Nichols
handled her violin in clever man
ner, and Pearl Dougan and Gertrude
Drach each sang pretty little solo.
The two quartets rendered num-
ber each and the male quintette gave
a selection. 1.-THE Freckled Frog
created much melriment Messrs.
Thomas and Mayes also contributed a
fine duet.
Perhaps the star performers of the
evening, however. were Morgan Cav
in and Mabel Moore, who pleased the
audience immensely with their sing
ing. They both have splendid voices
and are talented actors as we'll. Two
other clever singers were Mae Thomas
and Charley Darrow who won their
share of applause.
The last number on the program
was Tine Auctioneer, comic quar-
tette. B. L. Rice took the leading
part. auctioning off two fair young
ladies, Miss Robinson and Mrs Cav
in, while Mr.. Mayes was the bidder
for one of the parties. The charac-
ters were spendidly impersonated and
the quartette was one of the most TAX
ing numbers.
The League is very grateful to
those who so willingly assisted in
presenting this program, and especial
ly to Mrs. Steward who so ably di-
rected the work and to whom the sue
cess of the entertainment is so largely

cut to Denver for its Denver business
1t was not expected, however. that
the cutoff would be built until the
long tunnel through the range on the
Moffat road was constructed. But
there is no doubt but grading camps
have already been established and
actual grading is in progress below
the point on the Grand river where
the Moffat road leaves it and turns
north.
1t has been an open secret for some
time that the old Payne ranch is des
ignated on the plats of the railroad
company as FDotsero Junction" in,
dicatng that it would be the iutersec-
tion of the cutoff from Dotsero and
of the line north to Steamboat
Springs. The building of the cutoff
opens the way for, much speculation in

gested is that the Moffat road will moi
be butt through to Salt Lake City

is that the Rio Grande will have en-.

In giving -dinners-the apparently

sist upon your guests partaking of any
particular dish. Do not ask persons

JAPAN's FOREIGN TRADE.

Mr.. Harrington, the acting British
commercial attache at Toxic, states in
his annual report that the total inn
port and export trade OF Japan during
1906 amounted to $3.50, 045, $50, an in
crease over the sum for the previous
year ($413, 474, 055) of SIC, 81 1895, or just
above 4 per cent. There was at the
same time a very great change in the
balance of trade.
The course of trade during the year
was generally held to be favorable to
Japan. For the first time since 1895
the exports exceeded the imports; and
though the customs returns take no no.
tice of invisible imports and exports, -
the condition of affairs was regarded
as facilitating the retention of specie
in the country and the expansion of
industries. This was especially true of
the latter half of the year, during
which the change in the balance of
trade took place. The very consider
able increase in the export trade was
looked upon as an indication of Japan's
industrial expansion, and though the
favorable balance of trade was due in
part to a great decline in the imports
which depressed that particular branch,
the net result of the years trade as a
whole was regarded as encouraging
