From Saturdays Daily.
The receipts at the Canon City post
office for the fiscal year ending June

corresponding period twelve months
ago and were the largest in its history.
The income from box rents and the
sale of stamps and stamped envelops
from July 1, 1909, to June 30, lslo'
were 23,223.07, a sum sufficient 10
nav all expenses connected with the
office and leave a nice surplus to turn
over to the government. The reyen-
ne from box rents were slightly IN
excess of 81 900, leaving an income OF
a little more than $4,000 from the
sale of stamps When it is consider
ed that the vast majority of sales at
the postoffice do not exceed two cents
some idea may be had of the volume
of its transactions.
The money order business at the
postoffice is an Independent brancn

INJURED BYIFALL
FROM MOTORCYCLE
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Edgar Howard was somewhat Sc
riously hurt yesterday afternoon In
consequence of being thrown from a
motor cycle while riding along Grif-
fin avenue, South Canon. Some work.
men were building bridge at that
point and had stretched a rope across
the street for the purpose of closing 1t
to travel Owing to a cloud of dust
in the road at the time Howard was
unable to see the obstruction and ran
into it with great force and was
thrown heavily to the ground, sus-
tanning several ugly looking cuts and
bruises. He was unconscious when
picked up and the ambulance was sum
moned to convey him TO his home at
525 Pine avenue, where his wounds
were dressd by a surgeon. Fortunate
ly the rope was not stretched very
tightly, nor securely fastened, and
gave way from the impact of the ma
chine. Otherwise Howard could hard
Iy have escaped fatal injuries. A cut
an inch or more in length on his fore
head necessitated five stitches being
made by the attending surgeon In clos
ing the wound. The unfortunate
young man is reported to be getting
along very nicely today.

A Narrow Escape.

Gust. Haas, delivery man for the
bottling department of the Schell
Brewing Co., last Saturday evening
had an experience which he will
remember for some time to come.
Driving down Center street on his
delivery wagon and crossing the M. &
st. L. track near the Steam Laundry
the hind wheels of his rig were struck
by the switch engine which was back
ing onto the Center Street crossing.
Most of the beer cases were thrown
out of the wagon, landing on the
street, and strange to say, all right
side up, only three bottles being
broken. Gus was also thrown out
and when he realized what had hap
pened to him he found himself between
the horses hind legs without serious
injuries, excepting a few minor bruises.
The wagon is quite badly damaged.
Mr.. Haas was indeed very fortunate
in having escaped as mildly as he
did.
