In general the provisions of the
Denver ordinance will be inserted,
as their law is in general use
throughout the state.
Another important matter that
came before the aldermen was the
question OF lights for the city. AID
erman Howard thought there ought
to be = more specific way of charg-
ing up the city's account with the
Northern Colorado company, since
now it PAID tor all that was left over
after all the meters had been figured
up. He also thought that the city
arcs should be placed on a meter 80
that the city electrician might read
the results Alderman Bullock
thought 1t would be wise move
for the city TO have its own electric
plant, II there was money enough to
build one. A better system of ac-
counting for the ctty's lights on
the part OF the power company will
be dema1ded
In connection with the cerfew
bel Alderman Hall was appointed
committee of one to report on the
cost of placing bell tower on the
city hall. The bell owned by the city
weighs 1,S00 pounds. Last night
an offer Of 20 cents pound was re-
ceived for it.
SQuatters at the end of Third
street will be ordered to vacate the
land.
The final payment on the new
electric IRE alarm system was ord
cred paid, amounting to s1,420.13.

cow WENT MAD

We are sorry to write that valuable
COW belonging to Mr.. James FARRELL, we'll
known to everybody in town, an estim-
able farmer living near Cherry Tree on
the Warwick road, went mad on Monday
last. Mr.. FARRELL noticed the animal was
acting queerly and on Tuesday called in
DR.. Horace B. Mcdowell, the veterinarian,
who pronounced it case of rabies, and
the COW was at once killed. This is a
severe loss to Mr.. FARRELL.
The field in which the COW pastured,
was about one mile from Mr.. Matthew's
farm, whose mad dog bit Chief Harry H.
Hilyard about two weeks ago. 1t is to be
hoped that there may not be costly and
dangerous aftermath to that ours madnes,
All persons having doga in town and far
mers having cattle &C., should keep q
sharp lookout for strange and unusual
symptoms or actions in their dogs, cattle
or horses. This cur roved about good

he may have infected.
And yet some of our wiseacres say the
dog that bit Mr.. Hilyard was not mad

MIGHTY HAAG SHOWS

Although the weather was very Unset
tied yesterday, the Mighty Haag Shows
gave two performances, afternoon and
evening. and at each performances the
shows received large and well deserved
patronage, The acrobatic performances
were of a high class, there being stunts
not usually seen in these shows, The
show also has a fine lot of ponies and
monkeys to please the children, besides
the herd of performing elephants, tigers,
hyenas, bears and several other animals,
including the horned horse. In fact the
show is one of the cleanest and best ever
exhibiting here.
Mr.. E. Hasg, the owner of the show,
is very pleasant Southern gentleman,
his home being in Shreveport, La, and
be is connected with several enterprises
in that city.
If any show deserved patronage in the
sou'i' it is one owned by the southern
peoLl., and those visiting the Haag
Shows may rest assured that they will
receive fair treatment and get their
moneys worth.
The show leaves the city this morning
or Modockvile, where two performances
will be given tomorrow. Winston Salen,

SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS

Mrs. II. M. Barr has had a new brick
pavement placed in front OF her residence
on Cass street.
Mrs. Rosa Weber has also joined the
numbers of those good citizens who doing
their utmost to improve the town streets
and so far advance the coming of the
"City Beautiful" In front of her place
of business on the south side West Main
street she has had fine cement sidewalk
built and is also wisely adding steps Of
the same material. Her business place
with the unsightly shed removed and a
smooth concrete pavement and steps
added, will be substantially and perma-
nently improved.
The TRANSCRIPT is also practicing what
it has SO long preached-good pavements
by having the sidewalk in front of its
Office and the alley crossing nicely con-
creted and stone steps of the same mater
ial built. It has also had covered concrete
gutter crossing made and an open concrete
gutter connecting the street with the alley
sidewalk, following the sensible pattern
found by the side of Messrs. McWhorter's
store on East Main street.
1t would be good thing for this spirit
Of making level sidewalks to become Q
general one. There are number of very
uneven, worn and broken pavements in
the town that should have immediate
attention.
All the above work has been done by
Messrs. Alfred Green and son, and il
first class concrete work.

SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC

EVERYBODY Had Huge Half Day

The Bethesda M. E. Sunday School

II rained hard the night before, and
desultory showers continued to fall in the
morning, while the muggy air and the
threatening clouds, together with wind
veering again to the East, gave promise
OF yet further out-pourings.
About noon the coquetting sun showed
for a few minutes, and the lowering
clouds seemed tightening with promise
of fair weather.

MAN HELD UP AUTOISTS

His face concealed by white handker-
chief worn as mask and with shotgun
in hand, man terrorized automobilists at
Cooch's Bridge dam, on the road between
Newark and Glasgow Tuesday night He
held up several automobile parties, but
after scanning the faces of the riders he
would wave the car on, remarking:
"Yeu're not the one Pm after"
Robbery did not seem to be the motive
of this night stalker, for he made no a.
tempt to loot any Of the occupants OF the
cars, nor did he try to stop those who
disobeyed his command to halt.
The country about Cooch's Bridge is
aroused over this wooley West holdup
method, and policeman Reed and some
deputies from Newark secured the country
in vain to try to get the man with the
gun.
4. c. Thackery, lawyer OF Elkton,
took the news of the hold.up man into
Newark, and told Squire Lovett about it.
Mr.. Thackery had been over into Della
ware on a visit with a party of friends,
and, as bis car approached the bridge over
Cooch's dam, the man, wearing a white
handkerchief over his face and carrying
shotgun, stepped out, pointed bis gun
and shouted command OF "Halt." Mr..
Thackery's chauffer kept on, however,
and the man made no further demonstra'
ton nor did he say anything else.
After Mr.. Thackery had reported the
occurrence to Squire Lovett and Police
man Reed, and posse sauntered out, it
was learned that the masked man had
held up a pedestrian, but took nothing
from him, and that be also held up an
automobile tourist party from New York.
After be looked over the members OF the
party he told them to go along. YOU'RE

MRS. RICHARD FRNNIMORE

The sad intelligence reached MiddletoWn
Monday of the death of Mrs. Martha
Fennimore, wife of Richard F. Fenni-
more, a well known farmer residing near
Townsend. Mrs. Fennimore met with
painful accident two week ago from an
explosion of gasoline while filling stove,
whose blaze she thought she had ex.
tinguished. Her arm and shoulder were
badly burned. Every medical attention
was resorted to save her life and for a
time there was hope for her recovery, but
sinking spell Monday took her off.
There is profound sorrow over the un-
fortunate affair and much sympathy is
expressed for her husband who is left
alone by her untimely death. They had
no children. Mrs. Fennimore was before
her marriage Miss Martha Boyer, and
during her whole life was held in love
and esteem by all who knew her. Funeral
services took place at her late residence
near Townsend Thursday morning at 10
o'clock and interment was made in
Forest cemetery.
