TWO FIREs L.lsr NIGHT.

About o'clock last night the fire
department was called to the Mesa
bowling alley on Rood avenue ad-
joining the auditorium.
A bonfire in the alley had caused
the window frames in the rear OF
the building to become ignited. The
fire was soon eXtinguished and the
damage is OF no consequence.
Shortly after midnight it was dis
covered that the old warehouse back
of the old stand of the Enterprise
grocery at Fifth and Colorado was
on fire. The department soon had
water on the flames, and the old
building was saved from complete
destruction. The contents were OF
little value. The damage is not
large. The origin of the fire is un-
known

The accident happened yesterday
afternoon at a late hour. Mrs. Up
degraft and children were driving
to their home in Palisade from this
city, using the Lyons horse and
buggy, the families being related.
The horse, usually not easily fright
ened by an automobile, became un-
nerved at the very rapidly moving
machine and began to charge violent
ly. The occupants of the buggy were
thrown out but fortunately were un-
injured and moment or two later
the horse was dead in it's tracks. Mrs.
Updegraft had pulled out to the side
of the road when she saw the rapidly
moving machine coming.
1t is remarkable that the results
of the accident were not more SER
ious. The automobile driver. after
seeing what had happened, returned
to the assistance of Mrs. Updegraft
and her children.
There have been numerous run
away accidents this spring in the
city and valley as result of horses
becoming frightened at autos and
owing to the circumstances surround
ing most of the runaways, many peo-
pie are of the opinion that not few
of the automobile owners and drivers
are beginning to think that only
autos have any right on the public
highways.

I'VE declare that the two propositions

That the saloon and liquor interests must

whatever those laws may be, and that
they must not control the nomination or

prevent the sale Of intoxicating liquors
therein.
