Mrs. Joe Foster Dead.

Returning home from Alamo
gordO, New Mexico Tuesday.
Mrs. Joe Foster died on the
train between here and Amarillo.
The burial was had the following
day at the City Cemetery after
services held by Elder Sam r.
Shore and Rev. NJ. +. Hawkins.
Mrs. Foster contracted the
disease from which she died,
consumption, something over a
year ago. She waited ON a Mrs.
Alexander who died of this com
plant here and it is thought that
it was from this kindness, freely
given by her, that she received
the germ which finally cut short
her useful life. Her trip to Al
amOgordo, accompanied by her
husband taken some two weeks
ago, was in the hope of receiving
benefit from the change, but it
failed of this result and she was
coming home to die, as most of
Us wish to, surrounded by child
rem, relatives and friends. She
was denied this as the end came
sooner than was expected. She
leaves surviving her d husband
and six children, all small. for
whom the sympathy Of the en-,
tire town is expressed and deep
ly felt.

The Dance Wednesday Night.

The dance at the Opera House
Wednesday night is said to have
been the best affair of its kind
held in Canyon City for many a
day. The Amarillo Orchestra
furnished the music and the re-
freShmentS, served in the a. N.
hours, are stated to have been
bountiful and of the very choic-
est kinds.
Some eighteen couples, seven
of which were from Amarillo,
took part in the dancing. The
News reporter was anxious to
obtain their names but all to
whom he went for this informa-
ton either said they couldn't"
or wouldn't" tell.
The News editor is not opposed
to balls or dances patrOnized by
refined, nice people and conduct
ed properly, as he feels sure that
this one was, and if present he
would not be the least ashamed
to let the world know of it. If,
however, for any reason he
would be ashamed Oft, he would
stay away.

Fair Warning TO Thieves.

For the past month chicken by
chicken has disappeared from
my home-the Hauter place
until fourteen have been taken,
but the limit of petty barnyard
thievery was reached Saturday
afternoon when some bold, dar-
ing human, who. in comparison
to d canine would disgrace the
most worthless cur, came to my
barn. between the hours of ! to
Is p. m, and appropriated two
fine Plymouth Rock hens and
more than a dozen eggs, taking
the tin feed bucket to put the
eggs in. Hereafter each door
will be securely locked and barr
ed night and day, and while |
would not be surprised at such
a bold thief tearing the barn
down to get fat hen, | hereby
give him fair warning to be a lit
tie less brazen or he may have to
carry away a good sized load of
shot in his carcass, or call on his
friends, if he has them, to help
him turn loose a bear"
