A number of friends were at the
depot this morning to bid farewell to
Mrs. A. G. Sadler, who with her hus-
band, was a resident Of Animas City
for eight years. The family moved to
Earlville, ILL.,, three years ago, this
being Mrs. Sadler's first visit since
that time, visit that has proven far
too brief to satisfy her host of friends
Mrs. Clarke ST., Miss Bridget Clarke
and little Joe Dwyer, mother, sister
and nephew of ex-Sheriff Clarke, went
up to Denver this morning to visit a
son and brother who resides there.
On their return trip they stop over in
Colorado Springs to visit Mrs. Grace
Keegan and daughter, Mrs. Jim Hef-
fernan, nee Frances Keegan.
Mrs. Y. C. Salabar came in from
Bayfield, yesterday after her daughter,
Miss Florence, who is the efficient
primary teacher at the Park school.
The ladies' returned to Bayfield, last
night where Miss Florence will visit
a few days before leaving for Boston
to take domestic science course in
the famous Boston Cooking school.
Mrs. G. r. Newton and daughter
Eunice were bound for the Cedar Hill
ranch today where they will do prac-

Mrs. Newton is far from an amateur
in this line of work as any one ia
miliar with her wonderful gardens
can testify. She surely must use seeds
of Jack and the Bean Stalk variety.

activity in mining circles has been
evidenced in any part Of Colorado but
he notes n decided improvement in
conditions in the Silverton district
since his previous visit.
Last night the residence and all out
buildings except the barn, owned by
w. A. O'Brien, who resides short
distance up Lightner creek were de-
stroyed by fire of unknown origin.
None of the family were at home,
and the flames had made such head
way before it was discovered by the
neighbors that to control them was
impossible. The house was one of
the landmarks of the vicinity. For
many years it was known as the toll
gate house, it being on the old toll
road.

need the clothing and shoes are Civ

The Fountain show gave a perform.
ahce last night to crowded tent
The performances was really quite
good, the ponies and dogs We're well
trained and cheerfully went about
their work instead of having the ap-
