Fire in ST. Adams.
TAXPAYER.

Fire which broke out at three o'clock
Tuesday morning in the old Seymour
building on Lake street resulted in loss
of So, $50 and was one of the hardest fires
which the department has had to cope
with for some time. The fire is suppos-
ed to have started in box of sawdust
which was used as cuspidor in the
bowling alley of George j. Barrett on the
first floor of the building. 1t is thought
that someone threw a lighted cigar or
cigarette into the box and that the fire
smouldered until the flames were COM
municated to the building. The flames
had made so much progress by the time
they were discovered that the firemen
had long tussle. The Seymour build
ing is owned by John f. Butler and his
loss is placed at $500, which is covered
by insurance. George j. Barrett's loss is
estimated at only $50, with no insurance.
The heaviest loss was to the cigar manu-
featuring plant of II. A. Bowling on the
second floor of the structure. His loss is
$4,000, partially covered by insurance.

THE WEAK SPOT.
The Lecturers Program Is the I'm

Especial Correspondence
The weak spot in the grange and
grange work today, If there be one, is
the lack Of appreciation among its
members and by the general public of
its great achievements and its greater
possibilities.
So great, so prominent and so entire
~ satisfying are it's fraternal and So
cial features that the members often
look upon it as Il pleasure enterprise
and are content in knowing that they
are enrolled In one of the greatest if
not the greatest fraternal organizations
Of the present time and accept the
pleasures of membership without suffi-
cient thought as to what that mem
bership means, and thus also the pub
lie looks upon 1t from the same view
point. This feeling is often intensi-
fed by the lecturer sent out by the
state grange, who In his desire to be
entertaining spends his effort in a
pleasing or witty address, which
pleasant to hear, does not fill the
minds of his hearers with a knowl-
edge of or desire to advance the
great moral intellectual and patriotic
principles for which the grange really
stands; hence the greatest weakness
OF the grange is in the program either
Of the local lecturer or the state officer
or representative that it does not con
tain enough solid matter, enough of
uplift, enough of what makes the
farmer a greater student, a better
neighbor, a more patriotic citizen.
Grange members should realize and
the public should know that no organ
ization has so written itself into the
best history Of our country as the
grange. This should not be satisfying
but an incentive to greater accomplish
ments which lie within the present
and future opportunities of our order

a TERRIFIC STRUGGLE
WITH A MAD MAN
lContinued from Flrst Page. }

prisoners below succeed in making
Mrs. Schrader understand that she
was wanted. Mrs. Schrader was in
the residence on the first floor of the
building. and below any part of the
Jail proper.
AS usual the outer doors of the
Jail. the doors leading from the of
flee and residence portion into the
prison, were closed and locked tight
ly and this makes it difficult for any
one in the rooms below to hear a call
from within the thick walls
Naturally the sheriff had the pris-
oners to warn Mrs. Schrader not to
open the inner doors as the demented
man. in the outer corridor. could
have attacked her or made his es-
cape, Mrs. Schrader at once called
up Undersheriff Wallis and this of
fieer, asking several citizens he met
on his way to the Jail to accompany
him. went to the sheriff's rescue.
In the meantime the demented man
was declaring that he was to be
crucified. Sheriff Schrader tried to
pacify him and told him if he would
come into his cell and not attempt to
attack him he would go and talk
them out of ''crucfying" him. The
man agreed but the officer thought
he had better wait until the other
men arrived, knowing the cunning
ways of the insane.
Presently the heavy outer doors
below swung open and assistance had
arrived. The insane man made no
further struggle. and was soon locked
in a cell.
1t was an experience Sheriff
Schrader never cares to repeat Had
the insane man overpowered him and
secured the revolver the conse-
quences would have been horrible.
At times the man seems to be
semi-rational and quiet and again he
becomes violent and at these times
his appearance and actions are awe
some and frightful to say the least.
This afternoon during semi
rational period, the unfortunate man
declared that his name is William
Keith Mitchell, that he is 21 years of
age and that he arrived in Salida
from from the east some time ago
and worked at Salida for Mike Bowe.
a dairyman. He states that a few
days ago Bowe and an officer took
him to train gave him a ticket to
Grand Junction and told him if he
returned he would be put in Jail. He
declares that the conductor put him
out at Glenwood and he was put i'm
jail there. He stayed in Jail he says.
for two days and was then given a
ticket to Grand Junction and told to
leave and he reached here last night.
The man appears to be older than
he says he is, looking to be about 81
or 2S He will be given a hearing in
! a few days and will doubtless be ad-
| judged insane He is a very dang
