The report coming into Delta this
morning to the effect that DR.. Fair
field had been drowned caused great
excitement and spread pail of sor-
row over the town, as the physician
was practically known TO everybody
in the town and was very popular.
On Saturday DR.. Fairfield left his
home in Delta for his fruit ranch to
remain over Sunday. He spent the
night at the ranch and Sunday morn
ing he left the ranch about 10 o'clock,
walking. and as he did not return in
a few hours the tenant and his wife
took it for granted that Dr. Fairfield
had returned TO Delta and thought
no more of his failure TO return
This morning the young son of Dr.
Fairfield, who returned home from
Denver only last Friday where he has
been attending the law school of the
Denver university, drove out to the
ranch. He was surprised and alarm
ed to find that his father was not
there.
The .Gunnison river runs through
the Fairfield ranch and the son fear
ing that his father might have gone
into the river yesterday for swim,
the heat being intense. decided to
search along the banks OF the stream.
Young Fairfield had nor searched
long before he came upon the cloth
ing of his father. ON the bank, near
deep pool whose waters were still.
The clothes, placed Just as the un-
fortunate man had left them, spoke
most eloQuently of a tragic death.
The son quickly telephoned to
Delta for assistance ana about /
o'clock several autos loaded with peo-
pie left Delta for the Fairfield or
chard 10 search for the body.
There is but little reason to believe
that DR.. Fairfield was not drowned.
His departure from the. ranch, his
failure to return, the finding of his

yards, had both legs cut off beneath
the wheels of a locomotive.

the terribly injured young man pas
sed away at ST. Mary's hospital. The
loss of blood and the severity of the
shock were too great to be overcome
even by the superb constitution of
young Caponi.
Late Saturday afternoon Frank
Caponi, employed as hostler's assist
ant in the local yards, helped take
freight engine No $50 down to the
coal chutes where the engine WAS re-
coaled.
When the engine was ready to
leave the coal chutes Caponi gave the
engineer the signal and then stepped
onto the left side of the pilot of the
engine Those who saw the young
man on the pilot state that he step

house rate of three-tenths of cent

CHILD ATE AN
ENTIRE BOX
Of CUT|CURA
Spread on Some Crackers Not the
Slightest Injury Resulted from
Little Fellows Escapade - In
Most Positive Way ingredients Of
CUTICURA PROVEN PURE
SWEET AND HARMLESS

A New York friend of Cuticura writes
the following interesting letter:
my three year old son and heir,
after being put to bed on trip across
the Atlantic, investigated the state
room and located a box of graham
crackers and a box of Cuticura Oint-
ment.
when a search was made for the
box, it was found empty and the kid
admitted that he had eaten the con-
tents of the entire box spread on the
crackers. 1t cured him of bad cold
and l don't know what else"
No more conclusive evidence than
the above could be offered that every
ingredient Of Cuticura Ointment is alb
solutely pure, sweet and harmless. If
it may be safely eaten by young child,
none but the most beneficial results can
be expected to attend its application to
even the tenderest skin or youngest
infant. This feeling is shared by
mothers and nurses to such an extent
that Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment have for many years been Unhesi-
tatingly used throughout the civilized
beautifying the skin, scalp, hair and
hands of infants and children from the
hour of birth. And greater still, if
possible, is the confidence reposed in
Cuticura Remedies for the treatment of
torturing and disfiguring humors of the
skin and scalp. The suffering which
they have thus alleviated among the
young and the comfort they have af-
forded WORKOUT and worried parents
have led to their adoption in countless
homes as priceless agents in the speedy,
permanent, safe and economical treat
ment of infantile and birth humors, &C.
zemas, rashes, irritations. infamma-
tions and chafings, and other itching,
scaly and pimplv humors when all other
remedies suitable for children fail.
Cutcura Remedies are sold throughout the world.

The decrease in the volume of water
in the channel of the Touchet river
during the summer months has been
startling in the last few years. Less
than half the water than formerly

years logs were brought to Dayton
from the Blue mountains on the Tou-

long since discontinued owing to the
decrease of water, and the numbering
industry has accordingly suffered. r.
rigation has practically reached its
limit until some way is found of In

consequence the fruit industry, which
promises to eclipse all others in this
vicinity, is being seriously retarded in
its growth.
