The Athletics threw away chances in
the first inning when Baumgardner
caught Eddie Murphy and Baker off

chances. StTunk poled three hits.
Joe BoehIing of Washington lost
his second straight game when De-

inning. Hall held. Washington to four
singles. Bush whaled triple and
single and Cobb got double and
one-sacker. A thousand fans from
Richmond, where BOehling used to
pitch, attended the game, and pre-
scented him with a travelling bag.

It's come at last. President Britton
of the St. Louis Cards is peeved at
the showing of the team, which now
IangUishes in last piece, and has put
every player but Manager Higgins
on the market, according to his own
statement. This means, Sallee, KO-
netchy, WingO, every one, down to
the newest substitutes. Cash is not
wanted for the men; trades inYOlv-
ing players are desired. This is a swell
chance for President Murphy of the
Cubs to land Harry Sallee if he is
sincere in his declartion to bolster up
the West Side pitching staff. AS long
as BrittOn is in the wholesale trade
business, why except Higgins? There
are good men on the team, if the
work can be gotten out of them.

dinner? They were intended to lift
loaf sugar from the sugar bowl TO
your tea cup. but were never popular.
Everybody has them-got them for

ever bought them for their own use.
But now these little silver sugar

quite popular this winter. They are

HUSBAND
AND wife
STRANGELY
REUNITED

A remarkable case of the reunion
sf husband and wife after a separa-
ton OF more than a decade was
brought to light here Wednesday by
the departure OF Mrs. Ella d. Bass
ford for FL Paso. Texas. where she
will meet her husband. whom she had
long believed to be dead. Mrs. Bass
late Amanda Lttleton OF sos South
Ninth street, South Canon, was mar
Tied here in 1901 to Samuel Bassford
while employed as teacher OF music.
and soon after moved with her hus-
band to Cripple Creek. where the
married life did not prove to be one
of unalloyed happiness and the hus-
hand left home one day after a quar-
rel. never to return. The separation
occurred about three years after their
wedding and as the months went by
husband. Mrs. Bassford returned to
Canon City to make her home with
her widowed mother, supporting her
self by teaching music. Soon after
coming here Mrs. Bassford received
message from one of the mining camps
- Arizona stating that her missing
spouse had died there a short while
previously from typhoid fever. She
accepted the report as true as the ac-
count of his demise was given with
such apparent detail OF circumstance.
Very much to her establishment.
Mrs. Bassford received a letter few
weeks ago from Ell Paso written by
her husband whom she supposed dead.
in which he made inquiries about her
self and mother. and in the course Of
which he intimated that he would be
pleased II a reconciliation could be
effected between them. Mrs. Bassford
answered the communication and a
correspondence was begun which re-
suited in her leaving here to rejoin
her long-lost husband. Bassford Is
said to be a prosperous contractor
and builder in FL Paso and is reported
TO have a wide acquaintance among
the business men of that city.
A circumstantial account OF Bass
ford's death was published in the
Canon City and Cripple Greek papers
at the time OF his death In Arizona,
seven or eight years ago.
Mrs. Bassford. who was successive
ly organist at the Baptist and Chris
tian churches here, has for some time
past been organist at the First Church
of Christ, Scientist, in this city. Her
husband. 1t is reported. became con-
ycrted to the Christian Science propa-
ganda few years ago and has since
been actively engaged in spreading
its doctrines among his friends. II Is
believed that its teachings we're in
strumental In his writing TO his wife
and asking for her forgiveness for his
desertion of her years ago.

IMPROVEMENTS At
THE OPERA HOUSE

G. T. Stapleton. late of Guthrie.
Oklahoma. the new lessee and mana
ger OF the opera house here, is car
rying out a comprehensive system Of
improvements that will be keenly ap-
preciated by Canon City playgoers
His intention is to make the local
opera house one Of the most attract
i've and comfortable places of enter
tainment OF the kind to be found in
any OF the smaller cities of Colorado
and to that end has already made
many changes. Others are in con-
temptation. but some time must neces-
sarily elapse before they can be car
ried out.

A new operating room. thoroughly
fire proof, in construction. has been
built at the rear OF the balcony for
the projecting machines and changes
made In the gallery that will largely
increase the seating capacity on the
second floor. A new Simplex machine
of the 1913 model for projecting NOV
ing pictures has been installed and
its use viii add much to the pleasure
of the devotees OF that class OF en-
tertainments. Another Improvement
made by Mr.. Stapieton is the instalia-
ton OF an up-to-date aluminium screen
twelve by ten and a half feet in size.
upon which moving pictures will be
projected. instead of upon the canvas
curtain heretofore used. Pictures
thrown upon 1t will be far more dis
tinct and satisfactory than was the
case under the old plan OF doing
things.
A large electric sign containing a
score or more OF incandescent lamps
has been erected in front Of the opera
house and will be utilized for the first
time this evening.
