COMMITTED TO ASYLUM
Where Husband Preceded Her
Couple Of Weeks Ago.

The strange actions Of Mrs. Eva Ded-
man, who early ilast week disappeared
from the home Of her sister. Mrs. J. Ken
nsdy, south Of town. led to her appear
anes before County Judge Mcdaniel in
La Junta last Thursday. and after u
short hearing she was adjudged insane
and ordered committed TO the Wooderoft
sanitarium at Pueblo.
Just two weeks before her husband
had been committed to the same institu-
ton and it seems that this had SO Affect
cd her that her mind also became un-
balanced and she had in some way
wandered to the same asylum to see her
husband. Her appearance and actions
caused the officials there to notify the
sheriff that the yonng woman was also
insane and she was brought back for
trial, with the result as above stated.

And Now IT'S TopIess Patatoes


A special to the Fruit Trade Journal
and Produce Record says;
"John Groves Of Salem, Ohio. has Sue
esedsd in growing potatoes without tops.
which, Of course. puts the destructive po-
tato bug out Of business. His little patch
has been examined by hundreds Of farmers
and II 10 the general opinion that he has
made valuable discovery. The patch Of
potatoes was planted by the owner about
. month ago after many experiments.
and now the bulbs have grown to the
size Of large hens eggs. without showing
the sign Of sprout, but are clean and
white and growing rapidly. Samples will
be sent to the State Experimental Sta
ton at Wooster by the grower. who Is the
envy Of his nsighbors, who come from
their potato bug slaughter to gaze in
wonder at the toplsss crop Of tubsrs."

COUNCIL HOLDS
HOT SESSION
Not Much Accomplished but
Heap Plenty Talk
THE FAW WATER
CONTRACT CARRIED
So Says the Mayor, But Legality Of
Ills Ruling Is Questioned--No
Majority Vote It Is Said


It was pretty hot in the council cham
bers on Monday evening. and the warmth
was not altogether Of the atmosphere for
several heated waves Of words during the
evening greatly aided in the torrid feel
ing.
The city attorney preeipitatsd the heat
wave when he reported that. pursuant to
instructions Of the council he had looked
up the method Of procedure necessary
in forcing the opening Of streets across
the Santa Fs right Of way and before the
council could take action they would re-
quire a petition from the citizens asking
for the opening Of each street. then the
council would have to adopt resolutions
and would have 10 60 into court and show
reasons for the opening should the rail-
road see fit to contest the matter.
Alderman Coffman could not see any
real necessity for opening the streets in
question. With the present number Of
crossings we can get. along nicely and II
would cause great hardship to many Of
our business men and cost the city money
we could i'll afford to squander II we un-
dertook to fight the Santa Fe. as we'd be
forced to do.
The mayor favored forcing the street
opening il necessary. but insinuated that
the Santa Fe was only bluffing.
This rought an insinuation from Aid.
Coffman that the mayor was attempting
to do some blufflng himself. and things
fairly sizzied while he had the floor.
The wrangling was finally qusllsd by
the adoption Of motion instrueting the
city attorney to prepare petitions asking
for the opening Of the streets.
A most diseouraging report was rses-
ivsd from Engineer Pinsrss ~ 10 the con-
ditaon Of the water pumping plant. He
reported that repairs for the Woods rotary
could not bs had a. the manufacturing
plant was tied up with litigation. As the
steam pump 10 also In bad fix It was de-
eided to fill the reservoir with hard water
and only pump what water was abso-
lutely required for domestic purposes until
the repairs can b made.
Another wrangle was started when
Aid. North offered resolution directing
the mayor and city clerk to. in the name
Of the city. sign the contract with Col.
Faw. as per his published proposition to
supply the city with water.
The final vote showed Coleman. Ksl-
loRg and North voted for. and Bsymer
and Coffman against and the mayor de-
elared the motion carried. The doughty
colonel is now at liberty to get out and
rustic his financial backing within the
stipulated ninety days. but there's grave
doubts Of his doing so. as the fact that
Aid. Meyers absence from the meeting
does not lessen the numbsr Of aldermen
and three does not make q majority Of
the board. SO there's question ~ to the
legality of the mayors ruling.

Barn Burned.

The fire department was called out to
Garden Place on Monday morning to
qusll blaze in MRS. M. J. Hitchcock
barn on Washington avenue. but they
found only mass Of ruins upon arrival.
Mrs. Hitchcock was fumigating the build
ing to get rid Of lice that were infestinR
her chickens and in some way the burn
ing mixture had communicated flames to
the building. Prompt and efficient work
on the part Of 'neighbors saved the bug
aiss and other implements stored in the
barn. SO that the loss was:: as::eomparative-
ly light.
Mrs. Hitchcock desires the Enterprise
to extend her hearty thanks to those who
by their kindly aid saved her from very
heavy loss.
