CHILD BADLY ScALDED
Little Daughter Of Expressman BIinn
May Not Survive Burns

While playing about the kitchen of her
home at 600 North Ninth street about o
o'clock yesterday forenoon. the little two
and half year old daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs, John Blinn accidentally fell into
tub of boiling water and was so badly
scalded that her life is despaired of.
1t was but moment apparently that
the little one remained in her soalding
bath, and but few moments before Drs.
Moody and Scott had answered the sum-
mons of the frantic mother, but they
found on examination that the child had
been almost literally parboiled. There
was scarcely spot on the little ones
body left untouched by the sealdng fluid
and at first glance her condition was seen
to be serious.
Everything possible was done by the
doctors to relieve the little ones suffering
and at last reports she was resting as
easily as could lie expected.

ORGANIZED CAM
PAIGN PLANNED
By Valley Commercial and
Ditch Association
MONEY WANTED TO
FIGHT WATER SUIT
And It is Proposed that State Officers
be Made to Loosen Up the
$4,000 Appropriation

Attended by about forty loyal members
of the Editorial, Commercial and Ditch
associations of the valley. the meeting
held at LaJunta Wednesday to discuss
matters with reference to the water suits
pending and the attitude Of the Denver
papers and state officials regarding the
defense appropriation. was-a most sue
cessful one.
There was much bitterness expressed
by all by the attitude of the Denver
press as harmful to the valley. and many
references we're made to the support
that these papers seem to desire IN the
valley. The outcome of the meeting
was that there was an organized cam
paien planned whereby every section oil
the state, every newspaper. every COM
mereial association. and every citizen
may know that the Arkansas valley Is
we'll aware Of the seriousness of the suits
pending, and that it needs the approprla-
ton to aid and assist the farmers Ia
fighting the Entertainments of the Kansas
claims. The attorneys on the various
suits of the state, as named by the legis-
lative committee. were eminently salts
factory to the representative bodies Of
the valley. as testified at the meeting. as
the same attorneys we're hired by the
bitches prior to the action of the COM
mittee, which merely conceded with the
selection.
1t was believed that the state at large
did not fully realize that the Ar
kansas valley suit was a precedent that
would affect the balance of the state,
and while the valley is not asking aid
fsom the other sections other than the
els-fourth of the $4,000 appropriation
It was clearly shown that it needed that
support as we'll as the support OF the
Denver papers.
The Denver press was roundly scored
for its lack Of interest in the Valleys
welfare, and suggestions were made that
BODIED no good for the publications in the
future in the valley Nothing was done
on that plan. however. it being believed
that the press Of the Capitol city will
help If the case is understood by the
different managers.

more, her mining and torpedo opera

futile.
The suggestion that the MAINE"

the hope of embroiling the United

fact that it would be impossible to
which the Maine would swing at her
mooring and connect it with two in
dependent observation stations on
shore, without attracting public at

carried out on lighter or vessel Of
considerable size, moored ~ place,
and electric cables paid out from the
mine to an observing station, which
would itself have to be connected by
telephone with another observing sta

DR.. WEAVER MAY LEAVE
Has Received Call From First Pres

Though no authoritative news has been
given out. the Enterprise is grieved to
say that there's more truth than sur

is likley to accept the pastorate OF the
First Presbyterian church Of Pueblo. to
succeed Or. Wadsworth, who has taken
the position Of travelling secretary Of the
Western Presbyterian Temperance As

one Of the ablest pastors IN the Presby-
terian assembly and when he accepted
the pastorate Of the Rocky Ford church
it was understood that his stay might be
Of short duration. and the members arc
pleased that they were able to keep him
as long as they have. but sorry to lose
him at all.
In commenting upon DR.. Wadsworth's
probable successor the Pueblo Star
Journal says:
at is said that there is strong feeling
among the members Of the First Presby-
terrain church to recall Rev. ]. L. Weaver
D. D., formerly pastor Of the church,
which position he resigned to accept the
presidency Of Westminster university al
Denver. Later he resigned the presi-
deney of the university and accepted

Rocky Ford. where he is now located
1t is understood that DR.. Weaver ha:
been approached by influential member:
Of the First Presbyterian church who Of
fered him the pastorate. and that he II

ed that DR., Weaver is almost certain II
