ALITTLE PERSONAL MATTER.

Last week a man named Gala
CHER. who is supposed to work for
the Colorado Commercial Asso-
ciation. visited Paonia, and while
here attempted to divert some
Paonia Commercial Association
work to the kistler Printing Com
pany IN Denver. We have no OBJ
jectious to Mr.. Gallagher solicit
ing printing for any firm he elects
to work for, but we do object to
his sailing under false colors. II
Kis,ler is hiring him he ought to
present a Kistler card and not a
State Commercial Association
card. Also we do not think Mr..
Gallagher a competent authority
as to what work can be done at
home in Paonia. We lean to the
idea that we know more about
that than he does, and one thing
that we know is that it is d----d
poor taste for an alleged State
Commercial Association Booster
to come to Paonia and try to
knock the local papers in the
matter OF job printing.
We imagine that we can handle
a hammer just as well as we can
a lever and if Mr. Gallaher does
any more soliciting for Denver
print shops in this place we shall
try our luck at knocking his
game.
Smith. Brooks got the contract
he tried to land ald letter from
this editor to them has already
advised them that they do not
owe Mr.. Gallagher anything for it
The work in question was OF a
character that could easily have
been done in either of the local
Offices. but it is very popular al
present to patronize the Mont
gomery Wards in all lines.

Adams was elected in spite of
Bob Speer who wanted the place
himself. When Adams election
was a cinch Mr.. Speer backed
down as gracefully as a bear
comes down a tree and insisted
on nominating Gov. Adams. This
was permitted as it could do no
harm. The Speer element was
licked the moment Bob made his
corporation speech.

In its issue of June 23d the
Grand Junction Sentinel apes the
Denver Post in sighting reference
to Mr.. Bryan's criticism of the
republican platform. 1t is always
difficult to determine by the edi-
torial utferances of the Sentinel
whether the paper is democratic
or republican one. and this fact
makes the suggestion of its editor,
]. W. Bunting, as a candidate for
congress simply ludicrous. He
will have to determine where he
is at politically in order to ap-
peal to the right convention.

A DISCHARGED joker.

There was q grim, capital joker at
Noyes, Mimi, last Thursday night and
the details Of the affair were kept some-
what quiet by the victims, but at last
have mostly leaked out. It seems that
a one-armed man, who had lost his limb
in the Boer war, was on the train COM
ing south and not being provided with
proper credentials, the u. s. immigra-
ton inspector had him put off the train
at Emerson. The man then walked to
Noyes, just across the line, and armed
with revolver and bowie knife held up
the employees there about half doze n
in number. He amused himself by
shooting out window glass and at other
prominent targets. Mr.. Mckay, the
agent, slipped out and went to his resi-
dence and got shotgun. but the man
was onto his game and waylaid him as
he came back and took the gun away.
There are various stories of how he lined
up the employees and made them prac-
tice military steps and formation, show.
ing them how to step with pistol shots
firedin the direction of their feet. He
locked Mr.. Mckay up in the private
Office. He also opened the money
drawer in the safe and, observing the
small amount there, said be did not
need that as he had much more already,
and showed couple Of big rolls as
proof. After keeping guard over the
unfortunate crowd for about four hours,
but taking nothing from them, he left,
went back to Emerson, slept in a barn
all night next day he walked to Ridge.
vile and took the train there for the
east.

Close Call for Presbyterian Church

About half past one on Sunday the
fire bell called out our citizens. An
overheated furnace set the floor Of the
Presbyterian church OF fire and when
discovered had gotten considerable
Roadway and by the time the alarm was
given and the engine started there was
quite fire. The engine house being
but short distance away, the hose was
soon stretched and in about tenminutes
from the time the bell rang the water
was playing from two streams, one in
the basement and one on the church
floor, and in few minutes the fire was
under control, though it took about a
half hour to get everything drenched SO
that there was no further danger. About
fifteen or twenty feet square of the
jeists and floor above the furnace is
mostly burned, the new carpet is about
ruined with water and somewhat
burned, while the fine pews, are all
spoiled more or less with water, and two
are badly burned. Smoke and heat
have so discolored the steel ceiling that
1t will take several coats of paint to re-
store it. The organ was not seriously
injured and the Bible was saved in good
condition. The loss will approximate
about &4O0, and there is $3.50 insurance
on the building and $3.50 on contents.
NOTES.
The engine worked all right and re-
sponded to the first start. The big tank
in the fire hall was only lowered two
feet. Plenty on hind for ant Their fire.
Without the engine it is not at all
probable that the church could have
been saved as the fire would have been
very difficult to get at in the dense
smoke in the basement and in the
church. The building is practically the
property of the public. If new church
had to be built to take its place almost
every taxpayer would have to put3up a
substantial contribution. That is, the
engine has in this one instance saved at
least twice it's cost to the taxpayers.
Taxes are high in this city, but here is
one case i'm which high taxes paid.
A very few minutes later would have
sealed the fate of this, the oldest church
of the city. If the fire had spread into
the walls it would have been almost i'm
possible to extinguish it.
Our new chemical" is on the road.
If it had been here it is quite probable
that the fire could have been put out
without the use of so much water and
thus saved the greater part of the loss.
1t looked more like a Baptist than
Presbyterian church when the fire boys
got through-wish an extinguished
hades on small scale in the basement.
The Methodists had a large congrega-
ton on Sunday evening.
