Hermann for the past two years
had been employed on the Oasis
farm of James H. and George p.
Smith on Orchard mesa. He was a
most faithful and competent work
man. and he and his family were
highly regarded by the Smiths. He
always maintained his residence in
Grand Junction, and the family home
was at 1104 Chipeta avenue.
Each morning Hermann would
ride out uo the Smith ranch and then
ride back each evening to be with
his family.
. Today the deceased had been en-
ployed at several tasks about the or
chard. About 11:45 am. he went
down to the Smith canal at point
about 100 yeards above the Smith
pumping plant and prepared to take
a swim, being very warm.
Hermann was accompanied by
Munson Burke and one or two other
employees of the ranch as he went
down to the canal. Burke went into
the ditch with Hermann, but the
other men remained on the bank.
At the point where Hermann
went into the water the ditch is about
s or 10 feet deep and pretty wide.
1t is one of the largest irrigation
bitches in the county.
Hermann stripped off his clothes,
according to the statement of the
witnesses, and started into the wat
er. He remarked that he was pretty
warm and pretty tired. 1t was then
about 11:45 am.
1t appeared that the moment that
Hermann stepped into the deep wat
err ne disappeared under the waves
and was seen no more. At first his
companion thought that he had dfvei
under the water; but, as he did not
come up even after several moments
had elapsed, the other men became
alarmed, and in little while were
convinced that Hermann had
drowned. The unfortunate man did
not utter a cry or say a word as he
sank from sight. At once efforts were
made to locate the body.
1t was decided to drain the ditch,
and this wds done, the water being
lowered to a depth Of about 2 feet
in comparatively short time. How
ever, the body had fioated under the
water down TO the pump house gate
and was there found about one hour
and twenty minutes after Hermann
had sunk.
The body was taken from the wat
er and laid on the floor of the pump
house. The body was examined very
closely by the companions of Herr
mann and it was easily ascertained
that life was extinct.
George p. Smith, one of the own
ers of the orchard, was in the city.
He was notified of the drowning.

Rome, Aug. Pope Plus y. to-

Catholic church and the day was
marked with universal rejoicing
throughout Rome and Italy. At the
Vatican the anniversary was observ-
ed with great solemnity. His Holi-

reading an address of congratulation
in which he wished the pope many
more years of pontificate. Greetings

pressed. through their representa-

DEADLY FIRE
STILL RAGING
IBv Associated Press. !

Winnipeg, Man, Aug. A search
of the ruins at Fernie yesterday re-
suited in the finding of 90 bodies.
They include Engineer Anderson of
the Hosmer mines; the Ford family,
father, mother and two children; Le-
ma Bell. a negress. and Mrs, T. War
ner. The other bodies are unidenti-
fed.
This morning the towns of Hos
mer and Michael are still safe. The
fires still continue to rage in the bush
but in the opposite direction from the
centers of population.
The railway lines into Fernie have
been repaired ana relief trains are
being rushed in.
Cash donations for relief amount
ing to $4,000 have been received
here.
Men from the lumber camps con-
tinue to arrive at places of safety.
and from their reports the loss OF
life will not exceed $50.
The police are investigating the
report that friends of alleged Black
Hand suspects lodged in the Fernie
Jail had started the fires that proved
so disastrous.

Coroner II. S. Day was also notified
and the officers of the Knights of
Pythias lydSe, of which the deceased
was a member in good standing, were
informed of the tragic occurrence.
Coroner Day reached the Smith
pump house about an hour after the
body was recovered. He pronounced
the death caused by drowning. It
was not necessary to hold an inquest
as several men had seen Hermann
sink under the water.
Hermann was poor swimmer
He had taken baths in the canal but
a very few times. 1t is believed that
he was attacked by the cramps as
socn as he stepped into the deep wat
er and collapsed before he could call
for help. He was not in the water
more than a minute before he sank.
The body was taken from the water
at 1870 pm.
Mrs. Hermann, the young wife of
the deceased was at her home in
this city at the time of the accident.
She was called up by telephone by
Mrs. James II. Smith. Later she was
driven in a carriage from her home
to the Smith ranch. Her grief over
the untimeiy and unexpected death
of her husband was keen, indeed.
1t was a horrible shIock.
The remains were taken from the
Smith orchard to the undertaking es-
tablishment of e. A. Krohn late in
the afternoon. The funeral arrange
ments have not yet been announced,
but the funeral and interment will
take place in this city probably to-
morrow afternoon.
The deceased is survived by his
wife and one little child. He was
member in coed standing of the
knights of Pythias, Junctacn Lodge
No. 1874, and of the local lodge of
the knights and Ladies of Security,
in which order he carried insurance.
The deceased was a young man of
splendid character, quiet disposition
and was well liked by all who knew
him. He had many warm personal
friends. He was industrious and up
right in his dealings. His death is
most lamentable.
Among those who assisted in re-
covering the body We're Munson
Burke, j. l.. Atkinson, II. w. Danes,
p. Hay, Mr.. Huff and SON. George
Campbell C. NJ Baily and several

After thorough examination of
the body DIR. Day, the coroner, stat
ed that, in his opinion, Hermann
had not been attacked by cramps. but
had simply stepped beyond his depth

tical record to his credit. Congress-

strength.
Cowherd's managers are claiming
today that their candidate will come
to this city with $4,000 majority and
that he will carry st. Louis by a
large majority. The Ball boomers

assured of the nomination.
