DECISION ON STAR COURSE
OF entertainments
Committee Met Last Evening and the
Pub1ic Is Assured of Fine Pro
gram This Season

The Y. M. C. A. star course commit
tee met yesterday and decided defi-
nitely on a strong course of enter
tainments to be given during the 1909
10 season. A brief description Of the
five numbers follows:
Otterbeing Male Quarteete and Bell
Ringers, consisting of four men OF
rare musical talent which constitute
one of the best male quartettes on
the road. Aside from their splendid
singing, they play over five dozen bells
in a most excellent manner. Their
bell ringing with humming accompa-
niment is most pleasing. Aside from
singing second tenor, Mr.. A. Rae Con-
dit whistles and does other clever
things. M. w. G. Wells is the baritone
and pianist, Mr.. R. H. Richards the
first tenor, and Mr.. H. U. Eagle the
basso and manager. We are sure this
is one of the strongest numbers ever
presented to star course patrons in
Canon City. Colonel G. A. Gearhart
will be here this season with his
Ol lHc lcC-
ture second to none ever delivered
here. 1T is complete, earnest and
instructive portrayal of the marvel

The Fremont County Fair, to be

will be equalled only by the showing
made at the State fair In Pueblo as
nearly two hundred varieties of ap-

peaches, pears, grapes and scores OF
field and garden products that are
unrivalled in size and quality this side

that makes jubilee outfit. Mr..

singers are high class artists. When
the manager OF one colored organiza-
tion gives the manager on another
similar organization such a hearty
recommend there must be some real
reason for it. They are a we'll train

ment at the residence of DR.. Hart

rently having left her husband. JEFF
fries followed and arriving here last
night proceeded to find her. From
some colored people he learned Of her
location and at once proceeded thith-
er. He reached the Goodloe home
about midnight and after breaking q
window proceeded to threaten his wife
with dire vengeance. Jeffries. accord
ing to his wife. was framing all sorts
OF murderous combinations. saying
first he would kill her. then himself.
and next that he would kill himself
and her II she did not go with him.
After some time he left only to re-
turn twice this morning. On his Sec
ond appearance word was telephoned
for the marshal, but Jeffries disap-
peared before his arrival.
Marshal Houston found the mans
wife in hiding at the Goodloe home
and was informed that Jeffries had
taken the woman's clothes. The mar
shal Immediately proceeded TO look
him up and after following several
clues discovered him walking rapidly
down Main street and locked him MP.

There Is deal OF anxiety being felt
by ranchers In Lincoln Park and
South Canon these days because Of .
possible shortage Of water - result
Of damage caused by the severe cloud
burst OF tho past week.

from the Arkansas above Grape Creek.
During the cloudburst there was o
washout resulting In q break. which
the companies Immediately started to
repair. When this was finished It
was discovered that there was still
a great stortage In the supply. In
vestigation proved that the 600-foot
syphon which carried the water un-
der Grape Creek had been clogged mp.
presumably by logs and debris de-
posted by the flood. An examina-
tion is being made and the. work Of
repair will be started ~ soon ~ pos
sible. In the meantime the ranchsrs
are worrying because OF the lack Of
sufficient water. At the present time
a number OF celery crops are show
