NARROWLY ESCAPED LOSING
HIS HANDSOME AUTOMOBILE

Scott was driving along the road about
a quarter of mile beyond Soda Point
he met Mr.. Ripley's horse and wagon
coming into town without driver.
Recognizing the outfit as the property
of Mr.. Ripley and suspectng that
some accident had befallen him, Mr..
Scott sent the horse and wagon home
by some men who happened along the
road at the time and set out to find
the driver.
A couple OF hundred yards further
on he met Mr.. Ripley trudging along
the road, who was covered with dust
and gave evidence Of having been
thrown from the wagon. When asked
II he was hurt Mr.. Ripley replied that
one of the wheels OF the wagon had
run over him and that he feared his
collar bone was fractured, but that he
was not by any means sure Of it. as
he had experienced similar falls be-
fore without serious consequences.
On being assured that his horse was
all right, he consented to ride home
with Mr.. Scott, to whom he told the
story OF the accident.
He said that he was driving slowly

OF the wagon dropped into a deep
hole. and being near the end OF the
spring he was thrown under the wheel
which passed over his chest. On his
arrival at home physician was
called to make an examination OF
his condition, which was found to be
more serious than at first suspected.
II was ascertained that his collar bone
was broken in two places and that he
had received other minor injuries.
Had the wheel passed over him few
inches higher up 1t would have dis
located his neck. Mr.. Ripley is SO
years OF age.

CANON CITY VISITED BY
FINE RAIN SUNDAY NIGHT

A rainfall OF more than ordinary ac-
ceptability visited this community on
Sunday night, putting the quietus up
on the dust nuisance and giving a
greener tlnge to garden truck and
other vegetation. The dust was un-
usually bad and was a source OF great
annoyance. especially on windy days,
OF which we have had q good many
during the last few weeks. The clouds
which brought rain to the valley prob
ably left snow ON the upper slopes OF
the mountains. none of which has been
visible from here today. however, on
account Of the fog which hung about
their creat. Now that we have had
much needed rain 1t 10 likely that
frost will follow very shortly. With
the advent OF October occasional light
SHOWS may be expected In the valley.

J. Matheson, who came to Canon
City last spring from Kewanee, Illi-
nois. had an experience from fire
while -refilling the tank Of his auto
mobile with gasoline at Florence FRI
day night which came near reducing
his machine to a mass OF old junk.
Deciding that it would be good
thing to have his automobile here
during the winter months. Mr.. Mathe-
son a few weeks ago ordered it
shipped by rail to Pueblo. from which
place he was anxious to bring it here
under its own power.
Having been apprised Of the arrival
of his machine in the cit ydown the
valley Mr.. Matheson and Pearl Will
son of Lincoln Park went to Pueblo
Thursday afternoon for the purpose
OF bringing 1t here. little suspecting
the adventure they would have in
doing SO.
They did not get away from Pueblo
until Friday afternoon and the home
ward run was not made with any in
tention OF establishing a new record
for speed. 1t was after o'clock
when they reached the outskirts Of
Florence and to avoid the risk OF
trouble with the authorities on ac-
count of automobiling on the streets
after dark without the necessary
lights, they stopped to comply with
the ordinance requiring such precau-
tons to be made.
AS the supply OF gasoline was get
ting low. it was thought best TO refill
the tank before proceeding further.
and Mr.. Matheson held the lantern
while Mr.. Wilson poured the gasoline
into the receiver. or rather they had
started to do SO. A sudden gust of
wind blew the highly volatile gas
which emanated from the fluid In the
direction fthe lantern and In an in
slant the machine was enveloped in
flames. which threatened to destroy
II in short order. Happily neither Mr..
Matheson nor his assistant were seri-
ousiy burned and they set about the
seemingly impossible task of saving
the automobile.
They endeavored to smother the FIRE
with burlap. lot OF which they hap
pened to have with them. but they
were of no avail and the case was
getting to be desperate one when
Mr.. Wilson discovered a fire hose a
few feet away, which he found was
connected with a hydrant It did not
take him long to turn on the water
and in n very short time the fire was
under control. That no explosion
took place Is remarkable in view Of
the fact that the gasoline tank was
rendered almost red hot by the
flames
The insulation was burnt from the
wires connected with the motor. the
machinery put out OF commission. and

getting on as easily as he did. II
was a notable coincidence that the
trouble should have taken place with

less wonderful that the hose was
found in the darkness which prevail

undertaking.

LOTTERY NOT
EASY KILLED
Strange Vitality and the Old Louisiana
Concern.

1t Is rather surprise, says the
Philadelphia Enquirer, to most per-
sons to learn that the Louisiana lot
terry was only sootched come years
ago. II had been generally supposed
that when Louisiana rose up in its
might 1t really slew the monster which
had been eating at its vitals for so
long. or course It was known that
the lottery had removed to Honduras,
but II was not supposed that much
vitality was left in 1t. When the gov
eminent cut of the use Of the mails
and express companies every avenue
Of approach to this particular gamb-
ling instinct seem to be closed. II
Is therefore with some amazement
that the public will learn that the gov
eminent has found that number OF
prominent men OF the country have
been backing the institution, which
has had a secret vigorous life and has
paid out very little.
