 into music. Mir. .Sheepy plays by ear alone Music born of inspiration, as
 he is said to have never had a les
 son on the violin. The cowboy vio-
 linist he is called: A cowboy from
 necessity, a violinist by choice. Geo. Brown, next on the list is an accom- plished violinist also, but of a differ l ent order. His knowledge was gained by hard and persevering study. He is not a born one as is MT. Sheepy
 but a made one. The third of the
 trio is Mir. Massie, who accompanies
 the others on guitar. He is no
 slouch either, or he could not travel
 in such company.
 The dance at O'Rourke & Co.'S
 camp was fully attended by all who could go. Everybody was well pleased with the evenings entertainment. The musicians are from Globe and while they were paid for their work, they are out more for a good time than
 for what there is in it, and the see ing of the sights connected with the works of the Roosevelt dam.
 A. Romo is visiting Globe this week with the intention of securing a de- sirable location there for business. Having secured one he will close out his interests here and move there permanently.
 c. w. Smith. chief engineer here at Roosevelt, left last week for a va cation. in which he will take in Boston. Mass, and go on into the state of Maine for short trip before returning to his duties here.
 Mir. Harris of the electrical depart ment is the proud possessor of a new automobile and visited Roosevelt in it on its maiden trip.

 Roy Pemberton and Eddie Regen- scheid, two of Lou Selbys right bow CTS in the carpenter brigate had a narrow escape the day before yester- day. They were transporting some lumber from the settling basin where their work was completed to a point further up along the line of the pow CT canal, using a boat for this pur- pose. They were going back after another load and while passing through the tunnel in the boat, mo- ticed that the boat had gained greatly in momentum and despite their both having hold of the guide rope passing through the tunnel, they were unable to retard the increasing speed Of the boat About the time they entered the tunnel the gate leading from the canal into the settling hasin was raised and the suction caused by the l water passing into the settling basin | was so powerful that all control of the boat was lost. The boys hardly l realized the extent of their danger | until they came out of the darkness of the tunnel into the light. when 1t | suddenly dawned, upon them that it 1 was up to them to get busy.

 Donald Urquehart left in company with c. w. Smith to join his mother and brother in the east, Birmingham, New York, being his destination.
 Mrs. J. w. Winters passed through Roosevelt the other day on her way from Mesa to Globe. She was ac- by her son, who went along as an escort. Both put up with Mrs. Press Armer, her sister, for the night.
