month old . layer Of scales or scabs
began to form on the top Of his head.

and looked to be all In one piece, but
came on In large scales. His hair
came out In punches and baby became
almost bald. His scalp itched and
burned 80 badly - to make him cross
and fretful.

Creede, Colo, Dec. 24.-But for the
the heroism of two men, who knew Of
a narrow tunnel leading from the in
nermost workings of the Happy
Thought mine to the shaft of the adj
joining Park Regent property, forty
miners entombed in the Happy
Thought, when the timbers in stope
near the entrance caught fire, would
have been suffocated.
These two men braved the dense
smoke between the entrance and the
right-angling stope time after time in
an effort to reach those imprisoned
within.
Both were overcome. but stuck dog
gedly to their task, and finally pene-
trated to the clearer atmosphere be-
yond the burning stope. Every one CT
the forty miners was rescued by
means of the narrow tunnel and the
main shaft of the Park Regent. None
knew of the tunnel to the Park Regent.
The fire started at o'clock. It
was two hours later, after their many
attempts to force an entrance, that the
two miners, with sponges tied to their
eyes, mouths and noses, succeeded in
crawling along the bottom of the drift
to the space beyond, which at first
had been comparatively clear of smoke
but was gradually being filled.
With the exception of seven miners
who had retreated to a remote part of
the mine, all were rescued in less than
two hours after the fire started.
The seven men were found several
hours later perfectly safe but very
much frightened, and taken out the
same way.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Grand Junction, Colo.-Without the
bat of an eye. Mrs. Lulu Rehkugler,
called a Cleopatra, who was reused
from bed In the county Jail at $3.50
o'clock, heard the verdict of the jury
which found her guilty Of voluntary
granddaughter for the murder of Joseph
Waters on October z. The edict car
ries with it a-sentence Of from one to
ten years in the state penitentiary.
Her attorneys asked for five days in
which to file motions for new trial.
The verdict was reached after five
hours deliberation and Judge Shackle-
ford and the attorneys were called.
Later Sheriff Schrader arrived at the
courthouse with his prisoner. who
gazed at the Judge as he read the
verdict and made no outward show
that she had heard her fate. Asked
by reporters for q statement, she
looked at them and snapped "No, sir, !"
and was led back to her cell.
The crime for which she was con-
victed was one of the most cold
blooded in Mesa county's criminal an
mails. The woman calmly admitted ON
the witness stand that she shot Wa
ters and meant to kill him because he
threatened to take the family driving
horse in payment for wages due him.
Testimony at the trial by reporters
who interviewed the woman before her
arrest brought out the fact that Mrs.
Rehkugler had declared she would
rather kill Waters than to allow an
other woman to have him.
The shooting occurred about 1880
o'clock ON the morning of October Z.
Waters, who had lived with the Reh-
kuglers for five years. was kneeling
on the floor of q closet getting his
clothes ready. preparatory to leaving.
As he started to 90 the woman fired
five bullets into his body. He died
in the hospital a few hours later, after
declaring that the woman was infatu-
ated with him and shot to prevent his
leaving. This the woman denied.

Secretary Power has received the
electoral tickets of each of the four
parties, and is now engaged in pre-
pairing the sample ballot, which will
be sent out early next month.
The ballot will be of unusual length
because of the fact that three con-
stitutional amendments are to be
submitted to the voters at the event
on the 5th of November, one of which
provides for the adoption of the ini-
tative referendum and recall as a
part of the organic law.
No enthusiasm whatsoever is be-
ing manifested in behalf of this meas
ure, and their is a strong possibility
of its defeat for this reason, as many
voters will neglect to express a pre-
ference on the subject. The amend
ment will have to receive majority
of all the votes cast in the election
in order to carry, not merely a ma
jority of all the votes cast on that
one proposition. For instance, If
several thousand voters should ne
glect this feature of the ballot, then
it will be doomed to defeat.
