NEARLY DROWNED while
IN NBATHIN6 SUNDAY EVENING

What might have proven q very seri-
Gus affair was averted at the Nata-
torium Sunday evening by the prompt
action of J. T. Hazard and his assis-
tants. An italian. Andrea Maccalucca
by name, with a party Of friends from
Rockvale, was about to enter the
swimming pool when he was cautioned
not to go beyond his depth, as he had
stated that he could not swim. When
his companions were In the shallow
part of the pool, however, he jumped
into eight feet of water and was in
danger of drowning before help could
possibly reach him. All of the at
tendants at the Natatorium are expert
swimmers and are always ready for
an emergency. @
When it was seen that Maccalucca
was in danger the alarm was given
and by prompt action he was rescued
and given emergency treatment, being
later removed to Dr. Graves hospital.
In no way can the Natatorium man
agement be blamed for the affair OF
Sunday evening.
Mr. Hazard uses every caution to
safeguard his patrons from accident.
The pool varies in depth from two to
eight feet of water, and person need
never go beyond their depth. The
management should be praised for its
efficient watch and care for there
never has been a death by drowning
although thousands use the pool, and
great many women and children
bathe daily who are unable to swim.

PUEBLO ON THE FOURTH

As becomes an industrial city, Pue-
bio will have 9 monster industrial pa
rade in the forenoon Of July 4th, as
part of the general big celebration to
be held in that city. Already scores
of leading Pueblo manufacturers and
merchants have signed to prepare
elaborate floats and the interest al
ready displayed gives assurance that
this will be one of the biggest fea-
lures OF the kind ever known in this
section Of the country. + It is we'll for
the benefit of Colorado and the west
that an Industrial metropolis like Pue-
bio has come into existence and is
forging forward with such energy,
when many sections of the country are
feeling the quiet of dull times.
In the big parade there will be a
large floral section induced by the Of
fer of liberal prizes, for the best de-
corated private vehicles and automo-
biles. This will add a touch OF color
and brilliancy to the occasion such as
cannot fail to be very pleasing.
In the afternoon the Pueblo celebra-
ton will center In the state fair
grounds where . mammoth free bar
becue will be held and numerous fea-
lures Of entertainment will be given.
in cluding horse races, automobile
races, athletics, etc. An admission fee
of so cents for adults and rs cents for
children will be charged to the
grounds, all profits to be for the bene-
fit Of the Colorado State Fair.

Work has begun on a program of
alteration and improvement at the st.
Cloud hotel, the completion Of which
will revolutionize the interior OF that
hostelry in appearance and conven-
ience. Several important additions
and changes have already been made
and plans have been drawn for 9TH
ers, which. when carried out will con-
vert the St Cloud into a modern, up
to date establishment. 1t is esti-
mated that an outlay of approximately
$4,000 will be required to execute the
scheme formulated by Mr.. Shore, the
owner OF the property, for the i'm
iprovements now under way.
There will be a new and complete
system OF plumbing installed through
out the building, and, wherever need
ed,new floors, new partitions, etc. Ths
office will be enlarged and beautiaed
