THEY GOT AWAY ALL RIGHT.

1t was quite exciting at the depot
this morning, at least to those who
were "on." Two Of Durango's young
people eIoped via the Red Apple train,
and as runners of parental opposition
floated around, and the couple hasten
ed aboard, there were several interest
ed observers watching the depot, Main
street, and the outgoing train.
The couple were w. H. Petterman
and Miss Beatrice Shepherd, their des-
tination being Aztec, which has come
to be more or less the Mecca Of cou-
pies from this part of Colorado de-
string to unite hearts and fortunes.
The would-be groom is night watch
man at the depot, and his bride is
step daughter Of Mrs. Thomas Of the
Southern restaurant.
Mr.. and Mrs. Petterman expect to
return to Durango on this evenings
train, and congratulations will then be
in order from their friends in this
city.

blasts in search Of reliable news, the
Newton Kansan perpetrates this one:
"a dozen farmers are missing in
western Kansas and it is believed that
they have been carried off by the
jackrabbits to their dens in the sand
hills. The shortage Of vegetable food
has caused the jacks to become
carnivorous and it is feared that many
more fatalities will be reported of lone
travellers being killed and eaten. But
the worst Of it is that farm houses
have been attacked and the women
and children ill-treated by the jack
rabbits while the men are away with
firearms.
"In Stevens and Reno counties jack
rabbits carrying bags of human scalps
have appeared in the Offices of the
county clerks and requested that the
scalps be bought at 10 cents each. If
the people of the east are to know
the ravages of the jackrabbits why
not tell them the truth? Why keep
part Of it back? The devastation
and horror, the suffering and terror
following in the wake Of the raids of
the jaclrabbits have not been equaled
in the history of this country, except
in the raids of the devilish Indians
who formerly massacred our settlers"

ANTELOPE GROW TAME
AND CRAZE BY ROADSIDE

CANON CITY, Jan. 16.-Mr. Sibley,
who drove the penitentiary car to
Canon from Pueblo this morning,
states that just as he neared Beaver
creek, about sixteen miles from here
he saw three antelope grazing close
to the roadside.
AS the big yellow car approached
they looked up but moved but little
from their grazing stand.
"Sib" says that he believes the
tameness of the ordinarily shy animals
is due to the heavy SHOWS which has
deprived them of their customary pro-
vision and that their hunger has
caused them to place more faith in the
kindliness of man than is usual with
them.
