A freight engine fell down in
the La Jara yards the other night
and the noise the trainmen made
in trying to get it together again
aroused all the residents from their
slumbers. There is still talk of
settling the shop strike.
Calling down the maledictions
of the Most High upon the Roman
priesthood and shouting, Long
Live Italy," Giuseppe Ala, the
murderer of Father Leo Henriechs,
was carried to the death trap and
at exactly s: 30 O'Clock Wednesday
night paid the extreme penalty of
his crime.
The car load of Indians that
attended the Democratic conven-
tion in Denver passed through
Monday on their road home. Like
all returning travellers from that
big pow-wow they looked slightly

rubbed around under their noses,

Editor Stuart of the Alamosa
Courier sampled new brand last
week and saw blue flames, sulphur
and birthstone, issuing from a
crevice in Mt. Blanca. He says in
his paper the crevice was from two
to four inches in width and mile
long, lust north of the Twin Peaks
and about half way down the
mountain" Pshaw, now John, do
you think they will open short
cut to the bad place just to
accommodate a few old bucks from
the San Luis valley?
Mrs. Chlanda, of Alamosa, was
in town, Saturday and Sunday of
this week, spending the time
with her husband who is employed
as engineer at the local mill. The
Chlanda family will remove to La
Jara in the near future. Mr..
Chlanda has the reputation of be-
ing the best baseball pitcher in
the valley and was connected in
that capacity with the Alamosa
nine for several seasons. During
that time he played prominent
part in the winning of several
games from the big teams of the
state.
Crop indications in the San
Luis valley promise bountiful
harvest. Farmers now making
their first cutting of alfalfa tell us
that though one week later than
last year it is fully up to standard.
Soaking rains have visited the
valley at opportune times but they
have not been attended with hail
storms or cloud bursts such as
have proven disastrous in several
portions of the state, and notwith-
standing that the season was
little late, banner crops are now
assured. With good crops the

DUKE IS RETIcENT
DECLINES TO DISCUSS AFFAIR
 WITH MISS ELkINs.
Mad. Many Friends on the steamer md Was Met by TfaiIan Consul
 Abe Humsnei Fellow

Idvernool. March 27.-~rhere Is ab- solutely nothing can say regaydips my reported engagement to Miss Kath crime Elkins.,' said the Duke Of Abrnz- zl when asked for statement today regarding the many rumors in cireu- tation since h.s departure frcm tue United States.
 The Duke arrived here this morning from New York on the Lusitania, He greeted the newspaper men cheerfuiiy and smilingly and gave the above quoted answer to the request for an interview.
 IIpon leaving the Lusitania in com pany with the I.SIlan consul at Liver pooi. who was the only person here to meet him, the Duke facod battery of cameras but even this did not ruffie htR temper, and still smiling he push ed up the dock 10 the railroad car up- on which there was the usual printed notice in large letters showing that . compartment had been reserved for him. This reservation of an entire compartment was the only thing that had been done to facilitate the Dukes trip from Liverpool to London. The other passengers had to content, them selves with single seats.
 During the voyage over. the Duke mingled freely with the other passen- gers on board the Lusitania and made some friendS put WDeneNef tHe suDJSct of his engagement was mentioned he immediately became reserved and changed the conversation. He was en- tertained at a dinner during the voy- age by Sir Bache Cunard. and himself gave a party which was attended by some of his new made friends.
 The Duke created an excellent iIp- presslon on his fellow passengers and was quite the most cheerful spirit on board. He spent hours walking the deck with his new made friends among whom were Robert Wateherman. Com missioner of Imm igratton at New York Although tlseeDulee could not bs drawn out with regard to his reported engagement. he gave the impression that there was an engagement but that some forinalities would have to be completed before announcsment could be made, and that this announce ment must come through Italian chan neis.
 His cheerfulness on the voyage over is taken as proof that he at least does not believe that there are any insur- mountable difficulties in the way of his marriage to Miss Elkins.
 Abraham Hummel, the New York lawyer. who was released from prison on March IS. also was a passenger on the Lusitania. He was cheerful and laughing when he landed and ex- changed hearty greetings with friends.

DELEcTABLE STRAWBERRY

The delectabls strawberry good 70 look at. and what is much more per tinent good to eat. is making its de- but in this city. Upon the free lunch counter, one sees strawberry short cake every once in while now-a-days. To admit the truth. it cannot be said that a profusion of the rose hued ber- ries aderns the article new upon the ma ct, but the suggestion of the fu- ture delight, afforded by the aliurins sight. is most vivid.
 The produce merchants report that the strawberry market is picking up a little. Up to the present. most of the supply. fin fact. practically all of the supply is derived from Florida. It will be only a short while. however, before the Alabama product appears on the Montgomery market. Prices now average sb cents quart.
