on this occasion, which was readily
granted Some of the citizens
thought is would be more appropri-
ate for Americans to celebrate the
birth anniversary of Washington at
home instead of going abroad to do
so, and this led to the discovery of
the mill floor. Preparations for the
dance are progressing very satisfac-
torily. The splendid First Mexican
Infantry band from Matamoros has
been engaged for the occasion. In
vitations will be issued in a day or
two. They will be accompanied by

WOMAN BADLY
BURNED IN
CITY
Mrs. Louis Brodak Enveloped in
Flames at Her Home in This City
Today Following the Explo-
sion of Can of Coal Oil.
CLOTHING BURNED FROM BODY

Horribly burned as the result of an
explosion of can of coal oil, Mrs.
Louis BrodaX, residing at 626 North
Seventh street, is in a very serious
condition this afternoon and has suf-
fered untold agony as the result of
the fearful manner in which she was
burned about the limbs and body.
The accident was one of the worst of
its kind that has occurred in the city
in recent years.
1t seems that this morning about
O'Clock Mr.. Brodax arose, gave at
tention to the fire in the furnace
which heats the large two-story house
and then built a fire in the kitchen
range. He returned to the bed room
on the second floor. Mrs. Brodax
short time later went down stairs and
into the kitchen. A few moments
later Mr.. BrodaX heard his wife
frantically calling him. He rushed
down stairs and was Mortified to meet
his wife at the foot of the stairway
completely enVeloped in flames. She
had left the kitchen after her clothes
had caught fire and had started up
stairs The young husband quickly
grabbed the Unfortunate woman,
opened the front door of the home,
rushed out onto the snOw-cuyerel
lawn and laying her down rolled her
over and over on the soft snow and
in this manner eXtinguished the
flames.
Several persons who were attracted
by the screams of the woman saw her
when she was brought out onto the
lawn by her husband and state that
she was literally pillar Of flames,
the blaZes extending above her head,
all of her clothing ald her hair be-
ing on fire. 1t was a terrible sight
and those who witnessed it had no
other idea than that the woman
would be burned to death.
AS smoke was issuing from the
kitchen of the BrodaX home it was
feared that the house was on fire and
while neighbors assisted Mr.. BrodaX
in carrying his wife into the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ferbrache, next door, or
at $40 North Seventh street, others
telephoned for the fire department.
However MIR. Brodax and another
man rushed into the kitchen of the
Brodax home and finding the wood
work on fire but not under much
headway, quickly and easily exiting
uished the flames and the services of
the department were not needed.
DIR. H. r. Bull and DR.. Stephen
Egeness were quickly summoned and
gave attention to the fearfully burn
ed woman.
Nearly every garment the young
woman was wearing was literally
burned to ashes. She was almost
denuded of her clothing by the time
she was taken into the Ferbrache
home and her flesh was burned in
most terrible manner. She suffered
great agony until the physicians ar
rived and administered powerful
hyperdermic injections.
The lower limbs and arms were
burned more frightfully than any
other portion of the body although
the burns around the waist were of
a most fearful nature. The woman's
hair was literally burned from her
head. Her face was painfully but not
dangerously burned. In practically
every portion of the body there were
more or less serious burns.

The fifth and last of the bootleg

In conjunction with the sentence
an order was issued by Mayor Todd
for the destruction of the confiscated

Johnson at the close of the case a
constable appeared with a writ of
attachment on an old Judgment
against Gould and levied on the con-
traDrand property.
Notice Of appeal was at once given
by Attorney Rozzelle for the defense.
City Attorney Bucklin strenUously
denounced the idea of giving up the
iutoxlcants on the attachment order
and stated that he did not believe
that even the sheriff had the power

PRICE
STAYS IN
OFFICE
Senator Guggenheim Wires That He
Has Recommended His Reap
pointment, Although Struth-
ers Was Party Candidate.
FULL SIXTEEN YEARS FOR PRICE

Edwin Price, present postmaster Of
the city of Grand Junction, the ocCu-
pant of that office for the past twelve
years or during the course of three
presidential administrations, is to
serve for another four years in the
I local postmastership which is one of
the best paying postal offices in the
inter- ountain region.
Today there was received a message
from United States Senator Simon
Guggenheim announcing that Senator
Guggenheim had recommended to the
president the re-appointment of Post
master Edwin Price. This recon-
mendation by Senator Guggenheim is
equivalent to the appointment for
President Taft will appoint whoever
Senator Guggenheim recommends
aud the senate is certain to confirm
the appointment of Postmaster Price.
Postmaster Price is Just now
rounding out the last four years
term for which he was appointed by
FTcsilfe!s roosevelt.
liz Point Of continuous service
Pos master Price Is one Of the oldest
.oatuasteF5 In the West. with The
completion cf his new four year term

buHgtiC postmaster.
IT is not likely Chat, under the new
appointment 1.r. Price Will make any
changes in his office force. b. b.
Wilson VIII continue as deputy post
Muster.
Back OF the announcement that
Senator GugEenheim has recommend
ed the re-apDolntment of Postmaster
Price and that this recommendation
fgf tTrsI IlaT 10
ment. is a very interesting story.
Postmaster Prices candidacy for
re-appointment had neither the en-
dorsement of the Republican State
Central Committee or the Mesa Coun-
ty Republican Central Committee and
it is also reported that his candidacy
did not have the endorsement of the
State Anti-Saloon League which is
proving a factor in politics.
1t is known that William G.
Struthers, eX-sheriff of Mesa county
and one of the best known Republic
can leaders of this county and strict
regulation Republican, had the hearty
endorsement of the state and county
organization besides the Individual
endorsements of several hundred To-
cal citizens who attached their names
to a big petition that was long ago
However. Senator Guggenheim.
pledged by certain promises to have
Postmaster Price, re-appointed. dis
regarded Mr.. Struther's strongly en-
dorsed candidacy, disregarded the
fact that he was the candidate of the
Republican party organization. and
today he announces his recon-
mendation of the re-appointment of
Postmaster Price.
1t has been a very interesting, a
very lively and a very spirited poll
tical scrap and Republican party feud
although the movements have been
kept pretty quiet so far as publicity is
concerned, up to this time.
1t is understood that no objection
to the recommendation of the re-
appointment of Postmaster Price will
be made by the party organizations
but they will accept as final the ac-
tion of Senator Guggenheim.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
DEATH OF The EARL
[Ry Aesocinted Press. !

London, Dec. 30.-Earl Percy,
(Henry Algernon George, formerly
under secretary of state for India. is
reported dead today at Paris.
The death of the earl, although de-
Clared by the family to have resulted
from complications following an at
tack of pneumonia. is reported in
certain circles to have followed from
wounds received in a duel in Paris
some days ago.
The death of Earl Percy, when it
became known here today, created
something of a sensation among those
who were more or less acquainted
with the Englishman's affairs. The
theory of the duel is credited in cer-
tain quarters where il is believed the
family is suppressing the facts.

81 am afraid you will find il a
white elephant ON your hands before
you are through with it," interiected
Attorney Roz1elie, "for we have no
intentions of allowing you to destroy
personal property obtained in such an
Illegal manner and | want TO warn
you that we will spare no means or
will not hesitate to- go To the lawful
extreme to prevent you from taking
such open handed methods ns this"
"Well, what are we going to do
with 1t, certainly you don't expect us
to give it back to Gallagher and allow
him to go on with his bootlegging, do
you?" returned Mr.. Bucklin.
I'VE don't want to go on with the
bootlegsing but you took the prop
erty from him did you not was the
answer given by Attorney Rozze;le,
and the best thing you can do is to
put It back where you got it."
However, Mayor Todd was inclined
TO AIr. Bucklin's point OF view and he
issued the order for the destruction
of thc liquor.
TIE case this morning was not a
shar4ty contested one rs Attorney
R1zzolle seemed Indifferent as to
what the verdict Of the court would
be, probably being content to fight
the igsue IN a higher court.
CHIEF OF Police Welsh, officer Alli-
son, Commissioner Norlecy and Off

am,ned and the men upon whose tes-
tin onv the conviction was obtained.
