fife. His more intimate friends know
that he had other interests and feel
ingS, which represented the decper
and more vital side of his nature. He
had an eager and imaginative temper
ament. an instructive love of what is
wrong. From childhood he was Il low
Ell of domestic animals. This love
made him detest all that was cruel or
unliind in the treatment of animals by
their natural protector-man 1t be
came more than sentiment-it be-
came passion, growing upon him
and at last dominating his life.
TO him animals were not merely in
feriors or slaves, they were compan-
ions and friends, devoting themselves
to man and dependent upon him for
their lives and happiness The ethics
of the relations with lower animals
have seldom had more practical and
forcible expression than from this hui
name man. He was an ardent disci-
pie of Henry Bergh, and felt that If
he could have behind him such n rec
ord as did Mr. Bergh, he would re-
gard it as the best monument that he
could desire.
He accordingly founded the Nation
al Humane Alliance to carry out his
ideas for the welfare of animals. He
intended to give his time and fortune
to the work. But just as it was start
ed he died He left his fortune for
this work, and the society is admins
tering the trust of Mr.. Ensign on the
lines of his ideas, for humane work,
educating children in kindness to ami
mails and other similar work
The Humane Alliance has Offices at
No. $40 United Charities Building,
New York city. The officers are: Har-
rison Grey Riske, president; Freder-
ick B. Tilghman, yce-president; Lewis

Mr.. Scaver made a visit to Laurens

LIFE HISTORY OF HERMON LEE ENSIGN
WHO PRESENTED FOUNTAIN TO LAURFNS

/ Now that the public drinking foun-
! tain, which has been erected on the
public square. is in daily use it is an
opportune time to call attention to the
founder of the National Humane Ali
ance. which organization gave the
fountain to the city. This man was
the late Hermon Lee Ensign
He was born in Carbondala, Pa. on
June 30. 1919. At an early age he
moved with his parents to Sheffield.
Ill. When fifteen years old he ac-
quired knowledge of telegraphing
| and soon became an expert operator.
Soon after that he went to Davenport,
Iowa, and later to Denver.
He was reared under religious in
fiuences. was a member of the Con-
gregational Church, and when twenty
years old decided to become a minis
ter With that object, he entered Phil
lips academy. His health or finances
soon failed, and he left school and
went to Chicago, where he began bus
mess with a bridge company
During the great fire of 1871 he rem
dered important service to this com
pany by saving from the Office valua-
BILE books.
A few years later he became the
manager of a brilliantly written paper
called the Alliance, a weekly journal,
mildly re ligiouS and widey humani-
tartan. His experience in journalism
he turned to practical account by lat
er engaging in the advertising bust
ness, following ii with marked sue
cess, and acquiring fortune i'm TWEEN
ty years.
Fertile in fancy and quick in ex-
pertinent, he devised new form of
newspaper advertising known as head
line reading advertising. He also in
vented the stereotype plate with re-
movable base.
In 1882 he moved to Rochester and
two years later to New York. where
he lived until his death in 1899.

joins the county line, and in
view of the fact that the citizens
,of Arvada and vicinity spent
considerable money and labor,
in conjuction with the commits
sioners, the feeling was very
strong that the county ought to
be willing to take care of it and
keep it in good repair so that
travel, will not be spoiled, on
account of few rods that are al
most impossible.
The committee on reduced fare
to Denver reported an interview
with the general passenger agent
of the Colorado & Southern in
regard to running a special motor
car to and fro, but received
no encouragement whatever.
Geo. B. Campbell was then
called over the phone and invited
to the meeting, and interviewed in
regard to the legal phase of a
possible discrimination against
Arvada by the Denver Tramway
Co. The club instructed Mr..
Campbell to look into the subject
and make an early report.
The club is divided on the ad-
visibility Of starting a large auto
truck car at this time, but the
conviction seems qnite strong
that it will do as a last resort.
A number of the members are
tired of making any further ap-
peal to the Tramway Company
and are ready to take up the
matter at once of purchasing a
large auto car and give half hour
service to Berekely. Some be-
lieve it would pay at the start
commercially, besides thousands
of tourists to it would bring to the
town in the summer time.
1t is well known that Arvada
is by far, the best suburban town
around Denver, and all we have
to do to double our population is
just go ahead a do a little
boosting on our own account.
E. A. Brandon was elected a
delegate to the good roads con-
vention which meets in Pueblo,

throughout and on adjournment

restaurant to partake of the re-
freshments provided by the

A Good Citizen Gone.

Allen w. Heater was born in
Bryon, Ohio, May 9th, 1865, and
died in Lincoln, Neb., Dec, 13,
1911. His boyhood days were
spent in Nebraska, where he
moved with his parents in 1869.
He came to Colorado in 1886 and
was married to Miss Sadie
Chambers in 1889. To this union
four children were born, two of
whom survive him namely
Jennie and Allen.
For two years Mr.. Heater
served as sheriff of Jefferson
county and proved an efficient
servant Of the people. He was
fearless in the discharge Of his
duty as an officer, and made no
discrimination between the rich
corporation or the pauper. He
was member of the Odd Eel
lows lodge at Arvada, and the
services at the cemetery were
conducted by this order. He
belonged to the Woodmen of the
World and the Patrons Of Hus-
bandry.
Several weeks before his death
he was taken to Lincoln Neb. =,
hoping that lower altitude
might be benificial, but he kept
on failing and finally succumbed
to the last of all enemies. His
wife and many relatives were
present around the death bed.
The funeral services were held
at the Olinger parlors, Denver,
conducted by j. F. White Of Ar
vada, and the chapel and adjoin-
ing rooms were crowded to their
utmost by friends and sympa-
thizers of the family. Inter
ment was at Riverside cemetery.

Aren't you proud to be a citizen
of the greatest republic in the
world? 1t is worth endeavor
and toll to hold ones place in the
family, the church, the frater-
nal order and the town. Arvada
is a wonderful place in which to
live with its beautiful situation,
its fine schools and churches, its
good government and the high
moral character Of its people.
We are glad to live in Colorado
where women are citizens and
have an interest in all public
questions. Our prohibition

are institutions of learning and

Capital Thrown IntO Panic and
63 Are Killed.
SCORES WERE WOUNDED
Many Soldiers Are Among the Dead.
Buildings Collapsed and National
Palace Is Damaged

A violent earthquake shock, tn
most severe which has visited Mexico
City in ten years, shook the city.
Many buildings were wrecked b!
the earth tremOr, which lasted for sil
minutes, and at least sixty-three per
sons were killed. seventy-five wounded
and property worth 100000 wrecked
When the work of searching the
ruins is completed it is possible that
the list Of dead will be increased
somewhat, as hiding here and there
throughout the city there doubtless
are many wounded, who, with tradi-
tional fear Of the authorities and gov
eminent hospitals, are anxious 10
evade discovery.
Fissures were opened in the street,
several large buildings collapsed and
scores Of adobe houses crumbled upon
their occupants
Several persons were killed through
the collapse of the building occupied
by the street railway power plant.
The National Palace had one Of it's
walls cracked and the keystone Of one
Of the arches was displaced.
The ancient cathedral Of Santo Do
mingo was damaged
The oscillations moved from north
to south. The dead in the adobe
houses cannot be numbered at pres
ent The shock was most severely felt
in the western part Of the city. though
buildings in the central part Of the
capital we're rocked The only for
eigner known to be dead was a China
man.
Warehouses at the central station 1
collapsed and an engineer was killed. |
A private boarding school building |
was wrecked, but none OF the occu-
pants was injured.
At Buena Vista the railway tracks /
were twisted.
The shock was followed by an ex-
plosion Of gas at the artillery bar
racks, which added to the horror Of
the scene.
The shock lasted six minutes. and
many public buildings, including the
city barracks and the Belem prison,
are in ruins, while payements were
ripped up in every direction.
All lights we're eXtnguished by the
shock, and the darkness added TO the
error Of the thousands that rushed
o the streets for safety.
Six soldiers are known to have been
Iilled under the falling walls of the
al Santa Coamo, and the Of
icials Of the ruined prison had mar
OW escapes from death.

Kin Eight Negroes In Ten Minutes.

Kill Eight Negroes In Ten Minutes.
W. L. Boutlee and George Story are
believed to have broken all records for
rapid and deadly revolver shooting,
when at La Branch. La, they shot and
killed eight negroes in ten minutes.
There was one wounded, which puts
Story's score a bit ahead Of BOutlee.
The negroes were members of a
section gang and Boutlee is foreman.
The blacks conceived a hatred for the
boss" and plotted 10 kill MIN. They
engaged in a fight among themselves
and when Boutlee rushed over to stop
the row they turned upon him and
one struck him over the head with a
shovel. Boutlee fell, but sat up, and
before he finished rising to his feet
had shot four times and killed four
negroes.
George Story. a conductor, heard the
first loud talking among the negroes,
looked at his watch and saw he had
just ten minutes before train time. He
ran down the track and arrived just
as BOutlee finished shooting. Story
then killed four negroes and wounded
one with six shots. then returned and
took his train out on time.
