brook meanders its way through
the center of the poultry yard, af-
fording abundance of pure water
at all times, while the land is roll
ing sufficient to give natural and
proper drainage. Mr.. Russell's ia
vorite chicken is the Rose Comb
and Rhode island Reds, and iudg-
ing from figures given us, he finds
this vocation very profitable and
pleasant. He also takes much
pride in the growing of fruits and
on his place can be found almost
every variety known to this cli-
mate, and all is kept in excellent
shape"
One of the delightful functions
of last week was given Saturday
in the home of Mrs. F. F. Schrieber
to announce the engagement of
her sister, Miss Lena Kathryn
Boss, to Mr.. Eugene Henry. The
bride : elect was handsomely
gowned in pink and the floral dec
orations were of daybreak carna-
tons. Pink predominated in the
decorations throughout, and in the
refreshments, the heart shape
predominating in the cake and ice
cream. Amid the pleasures of the
afternoon, little Pauline Hall en-
tered bearing Cupid's. message,
properly gowned for the part to
play, and carrying a golden bow
and arrow. The message was re-
ceived and read by the aunt of the
groom. Miss Boss is principal of
the Whittier school and one of
Colorado City's most estimable
young women. Mr.. Henry, who
was at one time a resident of
Colorado Springs, is a sturdy bus
mess man and he is now located
in Pittsburg, Pa.-Colorado Springs
Gazette.
Old Iron county friends of the
bride-a most charming young
lady-will join the REGISTER in
wishing her a life of much hap
piness.
The Hot Springs Special when
running into Piedmont last We'd
nesday dashed into the real end of
the second section Of Iron Noun
tain train No. 5, resulting in a big
Pullman car being comparatively
demolished and in injury to Con-
ductor Hall, Porter Patterson,
| EnprfVNnnr Ei1hAn anI Eiraroan
Hays on the Hot Springs train.
Conductor Hall sustained many
bruises and a very ugly cut on
the head when thrown down by
the jar of the trains colliding.
The porter sustained some ugly
Commissions, also there were some
few slight injuries among the
passengers on the Hot Springs
train. The peculiar feature in
connection with the wreck is that
no one was injured to speak of on
No. 5. The escape was marvellous
for in the Pullman car that vas
comparatively demolished there
were passengers but they were
riding in the front of the ear. 1t is
said that a flag to stop the rear
train had been sent out by No. SIS
crew but it burned out before the
train reached the spot and No.
5 met with a slight mishap ece
stating a stop and it was thus
standing when the collision oo-
curred.-De Soto Press.
Early Sunday morning the crew
on a south-bound freight train dis
covered a man lying by the track
a short distance this side of Mid
dlebrook. The train was stopped
and examination revealed that
his limbs had been cut off below
the knees, but he was alive and
thoroughly conscious. One of the
crew was left to look after the poor
fellow, the train proceeded on it's
way and the authorities here noti-
fed. An investigation disclosed
that the unfortunate person was a
boy, only sixteen years of age. He
said he had stridden the rods" on
the Hot Springs special the night
before from Hot Springs to the
place he was found, where he fell
to the track and both feet were cut
off by the fast running train. 1t
was miraculous that he escaped
instant death. The boy says his
name is Arthur Boyer and his par
ents live in Belleville, Ills. He was
taken to the poor farm at nee and
in the afternoon DR.. Marshall am
putated both limbs. He reports
his patient as getting along as we'll
as could be expected, with fair
chances of recovery. Just think OF
it! If the boys story is true, and
there is no reason to doubt it, he
was on the rods ten hours or more,
travelling over three hundred miles.
1t seems incredible. Poor lad! |
guess he thinks it's a pretty hard
world. | don't blame him. Do
you?
The Spring Millinery Opening at
Lopez Store Co.'s last Saturday
was an OUT of-the-way event for
this town and these times. The
big store, with its windows, coun-
ters and other appurtenances taste
fully arranged, raj filed with Wis
! itors and buyers. The clerks we're
kept on the rush, and the clack and
whiz Of the s'cash'' trolley was in
cessant. Rarely is seen SO elegant
and comprehensive an exhibition
of millinery and other merchan-
disc. / cannot itemize where wom-
en- fxin's are concerned, but from
calculations from the ladies pres
emit, occasionally overheard, the
department peculiarly their own
