farm HOUSE GOES
Up IN SMOKE

The Glenwood passengers who r.
turned on Rio Grande No. 16 Wednes-
day from the Apple Pie festivities at
Rifle passed the Newman ranch. gener-
ally known as the old Tibbetts rancn,
just as the ranch dwelling was a mass
of flames. 1t was plain to be seen that
the building was "A total loss, although
it was afterward learned that the
neighbors reached the building in time
to save the ma jor portion of the furni
ture and effects on the ground floor
Everything upstairs was totally de
stroyed.
The house was occupied by Mr.. AMI
Mrs. j. w. Newman, .Jr.. and they were
in New Castle when the fire broke out.
but were soon apprised of their hard
luck and hurried home, only to fn,l
their home in ruins and the most
of their furniture and wearing
apparel and bedding licked up by
the flames. 1t is claimed that
the total loss is at least $1,000.
there being insurance on the property
to the amount of 81, 200. Those who
first saw the fire claim that it was
breaking out around the chimney just
under the roof. This would indicate
that it was caused by defective flue.
1t will be recalled by the old resi-
dents of the county that several years
ago the home of c.. H. Tibbetts, stand
ing on the same spot as the house which
burned down Wednesday. was burned
to the ground in broad daylight and in
almost the same way, the Tibbetts fam
lily losing nearly all of their personal
effects while the house was a complete
loss. In short time Mr.. Tibbetts
built the house which on Wednesday
went up in flames almost in the time
it takes to read this article. Mr. Tib-
belts sold the farm which is one of the
best in the country, to J. w. Newman
about five ears ago.

A. l.. Beardsley was especially proud
of the display of peaches made from the

engineer CRAMER
IS BADLY INJURED

Last Wednesday Joe Cramer, a ID.
& R. G. engineer, while working on
his engine in the West Glenwood yards.
received very severe injuries which his
friends fear may prove fatal.
While backing his engine up to the
freight train he was to pull out OF
Glenwood Cramer had stepped out on
the running board and was fixing some
thing that needed his attention. Some
one had run "A freight car in on the
switch but placed it so close
to the end of the switch that
ears passing would not clear and
into this Cramer's engine dashed
The engineer was caught between this
ear and the engine and badly crushed
and bruised. When he was picked up
from the wreckage'it was found in ad
dition to the severe bruises he was
slightly scalded on the shoulders and
back from the steam chest of his en-
gine.
He was taken to the Glenwood sani-
tarium where the company physicians,
Drs. Halstead and Hopkins, found the
left leg broken near the thigh. They
reduced the fracture and put the man
in as good condition as possible and
sent him to the Rio Grande hospital on
No. l6 Wednesday evening. The last
heard from him he was doing as well as
could be expected from one so badly
injured.

MACCABEES JUVENILE DRILL

Those who attended the social enter
tainment given Wednesday evening at
the school gymnasium, under the aus
pices of the local hive of the order OF
Maccabees were highly pleased with
the affair and especially were they de-
lighted with the Juvenile Guards of
Leadville and Glenwood.
The work by the Glenwood company
particularly, was revelation to some
of our citizens whose little folks partic-
ipated therein, as the parents had been
kept rather in the dark as to what the
affair would be and they were hardly
prepared for such fine exhibition as
the youngsters put on. There was noth-
ing but praise for the little folks from
the time they came on the floor until
they finished their work.
This team consisted of sixteen little
Misses besides Esther Chapman as cap
tain, little Mildred Drach as mascot and
Genevieve Dickson and Edna Dow rs
color bearers, with Mrs. Fred Chapman
at the piano and Mrs. Roberts and Miss
Mary Carey of Leadville as instructors.
The movements were very pretty and
the little folks kept step and carried
out their various movements in way
that would win praise from trained
militiamen.
The team from Leadville was COM
posed of larger girls and in their natty
red uniforms and red and white caps

SUDDEN DEATH OF
MRS. OTELlA LEE

The people of Glenwood were star
tied last Friday evening to learn that
a telegram had been received announc-
ing the sudden death at Portland OF
Mrs. Otelia Grant Lee, wife of w. X.
Lee of this city.
Mrs. Lee left Glenwood early i'll
August and after visiting her sister IN
New Castle, California, was joined by
Mr.. Lee and together they visited san
Francisco. Seattle and other coast
towns.
Mrs. Lees health had apparently
improved greatly from the change III
climate and altitude and Mr.. Lee say
she had been especially cheerful and
hopeful on the journey. But as they
had finished the trip as originally
mapped out, Mrs. Lee expressed dc
sire to return to Glenwood as she SAID
she was getting homesick to see hei
children again.
They started on the return trip last
Friday morning, September %. but pc
fore Mrs. Lee had reached seat IN
the car she was taken with what Mr.
Lee thought was fainting spell, BAT
before the train had reached East FORT
land, run of but five minutes, srt
was dead.
The Oregonian of last Saturday
morning gives the following account OF
the sad affair:
"Mrs. w. r.. Lee, of Glenwood
Springs. Colorado, fell dead in her hus
band s arm in the vestibule of an y. X
l. N. train at the union station yest.r
day morning as they were boarding th'
train on their homeward journey.

past year has been president of the

Grand Junction this week presiding

COLORADO POTATOES ARE
GENUINE WORLD BEATERS
Eugene H, Grubb, Federal Comms
=. sioner of Agriculture, Returns
From Trip Abroad

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 90 Eu-
gene H. Grubb, special United States
commissioner of agriculture, yesterday
returned from abroad where he spent
several months in the study of potato
raising The first thing Commissioners
Grubb declared. upon leaving the yes
sel was that he saw nothing abroad to
compare with potatoes raised in Colo
RADIO.
He said the best potatoes abroad
were raised in England, Scotland AMI
Ireland, but even these do not compare
with the product of his home state
Colorado. Commissioner Grubb is from
CarbOndale, Colorado.
CONTRARY to expectations, said the
commissioner. ''N found that the for
eign farmers, in great majority of
cases, are far ahead of our native till
ers of the soil. They are quick to
take advantage of every scientific i'm
plement and they put their land to the
very best use. They are especially
strong in saving their land, not max
ing it barren by too frequent demands
of bumper crops.
"The potatoes in Great Britain are
neither as large nor as firm as those
of Colorado. But this, | am sorry to
say, is the only place in America which
Dr tn nfr1T,p will
raised in foreign countries. l account
for the splendid potatoes of Colorado
by the method of growing them by
irrigation.
"When make my report I shall
call attention to the Colorado method
of culture and will request that the de
partment recommend that this method
be adopted wherever possible. -

To know when to speak and when to
keep still. when to act and when TO
keep hands off, when to assume juris-
diction and when to respect the rights
and jurisdiction of others is fine dis
tinction and one, the violation of which
has caused many man serious trouble.
1t seems that the sheriff of Garfield
county has made for himself bed that
is not any too rosy, judging from a
complaint filed Thursday in the district
court against Sheriff P. w. Divilbiss,
in which Samuel j. Sample of New Cas-
tie is plaintiff.
This is suit for $4,000 damages and
grows out of an alteration which the
plaintiff had with Joe Hurtzen, Jr.,
about the first of July last, in which
Hurtzen applied some ugly epithets to
Samples father. Meeting on the road
way they engaged in a dispute which
ended in fight in which it was said
that Sample bit Hurtzen' nose, thus
being guilty of the crime of mayhem.
For this act Sample was arrested by
a constable and taken before New
Castle justice of the peace and by that
official bound over to the district court
in the sum of 5000 for which sum he
gave bond which was approved by
the justice aforesaid.
And here is where the Sheriff of
Garfield county forced himself into the
game. 1t isn't easy to capture "A pair

They have been longer in practice than
the Glenwood girls and the audience ex-
pected something extra nice from them
and in this they were not at all dis
appointed Their drill was little diff
ferent from that put on by the Glen

more complex, but they executed every
movement with precision that was
wonderful. These girls received great
deal of applause and they deserved
every bit of it.

"The unhappy endin. Of a pleasure
trip was so sudden and unexpected
that Mr.. Lee was dazed and it was
hours before he could realize that the
journey home would be made behind
the dead body of his wife.
"Lee is proprietor of the Grand ho-

and his wife started on a tour of the
Pacific coast. They arrived at the
Oregon hotel Wednesday and both en-
.joyed their Stay in Portland. Yester-
day morning they ate breakfast AMI
rode in the bus to the union station,
talking over their trip on the way.
They decided to stop in Baker City and
other places at night. so that the en-
tire trip would be made in daylight.
'At the station Mrs. Lee showed a
slight sign of illness, but walked with
her husband through the gates to the
train. She was helped into the vesti-
bule lby the porter. The baggage was
set on the platform and Mr.. Lee step

Mrs. Lee fell into his arms and died
without emitting sound"
The funeral was held from the Glen

The children were all present, as fol

The profusion of floral offerings and
the large attendance of sympathizing

which Mrs. Lee was held by those who
knew her. Interment was in Rosebud.
