Have a High Time.

The c.. A. X. and w. X. c. so.
cieties met in a union social session
last Saturday afternoon in their
hall at Chicago and lvanhoe streets
and enjoyed a happy time together.
The music was furnished by Mrs.
NJ. V. Walker, who opened the pro-
gram by rendering in a splendid
manner, Sheridan Ride March"
and was followed by Assistant Ad'
jutant General Williams, with a
poem, "Olden Days" which was
highly appreciated by all.
o. X. Downs, who was in a re-
miniscent mood as usual, gave an
account of Yankee Trick" he
and his comrades once played on a
good Cracker" family "endurin'
de wa. ;" They were marching past
the plantation and the evening
meal was cooking out in the yard.
There was a great corn pone and a
pot of meat with other provisions,
While a bunch OF the boys en-
gagged the family in earnest conver'
salion. Comrade Downs and two or
three others secured the dinner and
hurried out of sight. Now, after
visions of the feast thus surrepti-
tiously obtained haunts him IN his
dreams until in cold sweat he
awakes with a shrek from an an
cry pitchfork prod by the beguiled
Cracker Brother Downs draws
his head under the covers and won-
ders tremorously if this can be
foretaste of the hereafter.
Captain Snow then followed with
some appropriate remarks. Com
rade Powell entertained the audi
ence with several old time melo-
dies on "just plain fiddle, "as Mr..
Downs facetiously called it, in a
way that brought down the house.
THIS was followed by a speech
from Comrade Ridley.
Mrs. CLANCY, president elect OF
the w. X. c., gave the G. A. X.
boys an invitation to join them in a
joint installation January in the
Odd Fellows hall and all G. A. X.
members are invited to be present.

WATCH AND CHAIN
 FOR WILL HALFMAN

When the engineers of the, Mont gomery division of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad gave Will Halfnan a watch and chain, they were not dis charging desultory duty. They were expressing their appreciation of man whose merit as a railway man and as a friend deserved special recognition.
 Mir. Halfman is timekeeper ;n the South and North yards and his excel lent service to the railroad has not been surpassed by his consideration and never eeasing kindness to those with whom he has business. Tn doing his work and in doing all possible for his fellow workers. he has done more than most men would or could do.
 MT. Hoffman was for some time en- ployed as gateman at the Union Pas senger Station. few years ago he was maimed by being run over by a locomotive. The Louisville and Nash vile Railroad Company, unwilling to lose his services, gave him occupa- tion within his power to do, and 1t is truly said that neither officials nor em- ployes have regretted 1t.
 The present to Mir Halfman was handsome and costly and it's value was highly enhanced with the generous spirit ip which it was made.

GUARD STEVE ADAMS
MUCH FEELING " coLORAD'
 AGATNSrs PRISONER.
Grows Out If Attempt Co AIurder Gen- erai welIa---Further Violence sn Mine Region is
 Feared.

Telluride. Col, March 2s.--As a re- sult of an attempt to murder General Bulkely Wells. General Manager of the SrnuKEler Union mines and mills at Pandora yesterday, Sheriff Fitzpatrick tonight Is taking precautions to guard the jaiI in which Steve Adams, charged with the assassination of Arthur L. Collins. General Wells.s predecessor as mine manager, Is confined.
 The feeling against Adams Is be- coming more bitter every day. He is supposed to represent the element among the miners that believes in vio- fence against mine owners. Feeling against Adams has also been engen- dered. 1t is said, because during the last two weeks fuiIya score of miners who were deported during the trouble some strike days, have returned to the Telluride region and are actively, at tempting to create sympathy for Adams.
 General Wells. It is alleged. pro cured from Steve Adams in Idaho a confession in which Adams implicated himself as the slayer of Collins but Adams has since repudiated his con session. For this reason 1t Is believed that Adams's friends may think that # Wells sh ould be got out of the way before the case comes to trial 1t would be dlficult to convict Adams.
 About a week ago General Wells re- ceived an anonymous letter. threaten ing him with death. Other anonymous letters are reported to have been re- ceiyed by different mine managers of this region, threatening that their mills would be blown up and that they would be troubled in different ways. Following the attempt on General Wells's life more guards have been employed and increased precautions taken.
