The north waiting room of the depot
was filled this morning with boys,
most Of them tall boys. at that. They
were the Mt Lincoln basket ball team
and those who accompanied them on
their tour of the state, the boys OF
the home team. their friends and a
goedly per cent of the d. H. s.
About the time Conductor Sanders
called "All aboard" the Mt. Lincoln
boys separated themselves from the
rest of the bunch, and trailed out to
the train, their admirers stringing out
behind them. till you couldn't step on
the platform, without falling over a
boy.
We noticed one thing, however. that
seems rather remarkable when we re.
member how noisy boys are generally
accused of being, and doubtless with
some degree of reason. The boys talk
ed and seemed to have plenty to say
but spoke In low tones to one another.
SO that the conversation was barely
noticeable even when standing close
by.
While we have no wish to knock"
the sex, we wonder II the same would
have been true If the crowd had been
made up of girls?

COMMENTS ON THE BASKET BALL
GAME
(By an Eye Witness. }

Wy dh GyC VhIhSbo.J
Final score, Mt. Lincoln 20, Durango
10.
You might think from the score that
the home team was out-classed. This
is far from the truth. AS matter OF
fact during the second half Durango
had the Mt. Lincoln boys going south
on a high run. 1t was only lack of
confidence that lost the game to Du-
range.
Durango scored first blood. How
about that? Was there any player on
the Mt Lincoln team that did any bet
ter than Soens? Not SO that you would
notice 1t.
How long has the Mt. Lincoln team
been playing together and how long
have the high school boys been play
ing together as team? Next year
Durango will be recognized as one OF
the fastest teams in Colorado.
Cheer up, Durango, practice throw
ing at the basket SO it will be I'M
possible to miss. Your team work is
fine, even If little rough in spots.
Challenge Mancos and then wallop
them. This will make you feel good
and take away the sting of this de-
feat

DENVER, Feb. 24.-Miss Nellie Evi-
son, who shot herself yesterday noon,
died this morning at st. Luke's hospi-
tai. The physicians attending her
said that, although the bullet which
had lodged in her body was Of small
caliber, the shock of the wound to her
nervous system caused her death. The
girl remained silent to the end, con-
cerning the cause OF the shooting.
Eugene Rosenbausch. the girls
sweetheart, tried TO go to the hospital
to see her, but was too weak from the
effects OF an epileptic fit to make the
trip.
Miss Evison went to her room few
minutes before noon Thursday to
dress for trip down town, and soon
afterward her mother heard the re-
port OF revolver upstairs. Hurrying
to the room she found her daughter
lying on the floor in front OF her
dresser with a bleeding wound in her
chest Just below the heart. The girl
was unconscious. She was taken at
once to st. Luke's hospital.
Twenty-four hours later Edmund Ro-
senbusch went home for luncheon and
found his son Eugene on the floor in
convulsions, and druggists who was
called thought the young man had ta-
ken strychnine. When physicians ar
rived they found that Eugene had an
epilectic fit. The young man after
ward said he had worried over his
|sweetheart's condition until the trou-
BILE had been brought on.
The family of Nellie Evison, who
was but 1S years old, say the shooting
was purely accidental and that the
revolver had been placed on her dress
er during the recent house cleaning.
They suppose she had picked 1t up
and was toying with 1t when 1t was
discharged. They assert the girl was
in good spirits and had no reason to
take her life.
