A wise old jackrabbit that lives In a
field close by the Colorado and Wyom-
ing stone quarry, near Trinidad, has
lured half a dozen dogs to death in the
last two weeks.
Persons who have seen several OF
the dogs leap to their death say tina.
Just as sure as "A dog goes TO smiling
around In that field the old jackrabbit
gets within sight OF him and invites q
chase. II races away with the dog in
pursuit. the rabbit always leading the
chase straight to the stone quarry, one
side Of which drops straight down a
precip!ce 100 feet to the bottom. AS
the old rabbit nears the quarry he
quickens his speed, making leaps to
within few feet OF the edge.
When he Is so close that the next
leap would carry him over the edge Of
the precipice he quickly springs aside.
There Is nothing on the surface to in
dicate to the dog the yawning gulf
ahead. Grass and cactus grow right
up TO the edge When the rabbit
jumps aside. the dog, unable to check
his speed, bounds over the precipice
and goes tumbling downward end over
end, alighting upon the sharp edged
rocks at the bottom.
Upon the rocky floor the skeletons
OF six dogs were found Saturday by the
old quarry keeper. who was roaming
over the quarry. This discovery clear
ed up the dog mystery that has per-
picked citizens of Jansen for some

The late General Shafter used to en-
JOY telling how. during the Civil War
several wounded officers and a few
privates were goirs up the valley of
Virginia when ran came on. forcing
all hands to take refuge all night in
a school house.
1t chanced that during the night a
skunk had found its way under the
floor and by and by had announced
its presence after its well-known effec-
tive manner.
The officers all walked up. but being
gentlemen and each supposing that
the others were still asleep, they kept
silent. At last one OF the priyates,

FRANCHISE COM
M|TIEE MEET
CONTINUED from First Page.)

Some legitimate suggestions have
been made regarding changes in the
terms of the franchise which we are
willing to make. 1t has been sug-
gested that our franchise end at the
south side of Second street instead
of the north, as asked in the fran
hcise. This is agreeable, and l can
see no special reason why it should
run to the north side of the street.
"Then there is the question of
damages. The railroad company will
assume all liability for any damages
that might arise from the reason of
the track running down the avenue.
In fact the state law already covers
this point, but as a safeguard We
could state that in the franchise"
Mr.. Snapp stated that from his
experience as railroad man, he
could see no valid reasons for the
objections of the property owners of
the east side of Columbia avenue. He
stated that the property would be
appreciated instead of deprecated by
the building of the track, and that
there would be nothing to bother the
traffic All switching might be done
at night, say from 10 p. m. until 8
a. m. There need not be an engine
on the track all day, and aside from
the fact that the track was laid near
the west side of the property line
and also from the fact that there
might be a number of cars standing
on the track, being loaded and I'M
loaded, there would be no change
from the present conditions and
could not work the hardships that
are being pictured.
The franchise committee took no
action on the matter this morning,
but passed all action up to the meet
ing of the council next Tuesday eve
ming.
Mr.. Snapp was asked for definite
news as to the building of the road
up the river, but stated that he
knew nothing positive as to the time
of the starting of the work but that
it was a sure thing that both the
new depot and the line up the river
would be built this year.
1t has just been learned that a
meeting of the council will be held
tonight to definitely decide the fran
chise matter.
