DEATH CLAIMS TOM NEWMAN

The death of Thomas H. Newman
last evening about seven o'clock is
sad not only to his immediate family
but hundr eds of friends throughout
the San Juan basin, for Tom was
known 10 all as one Of the nobiest
boys ever associated with Durango's
history.
For months i'll health had been his
rortion, but Tom was too busy dis
pensing good cheer to his host Of
friends and everybody in Durango
was his friend-to allow folks to know
Of his suffering. Rhe1matism which
was his drended enemy caueed him un-
told spffer;sR for 4 tho ~pssis two
months. Later heart trouble devsl-
oped and then the attending physician
abandoned hope. Yesterday at noon
he was reported dying and in the early
evening the end came.
II all that was beautiful in the life
of this young man could be written
it would indeed be an inspiration to
every one. No matter how unpleas-
ant things were in his own life he
always did and said the things that
added to the happiness of others. No.
ted for his clever wit, he was ever
heralded as the prince Of entertain
ers, whether in public or private.
He possessed an excellent voice
which coupled with his marked per-
sonnlity might easily have won fame
for him had circumstances permitted
him to cultivate his talents, but duty
called along other lines and he cheer
fully responded.
In business Tom Newnham's life
was a beautiful exempliication Of the
Golden Rule. His word was as good
as bond. His love for his fellow
men was as strong as though all were
his brothers.
To his aged mother he was a source
Of greatest comfort and pride. To-
day she has the heartfelt sympathy
Of all who have known her boy since
he was little fellow and have seen
him develope into man Of whom any
parent would be justly proud
AS yet funeral arrangements have
not been made but the services will
probably be held Friday and the re-
mains will be laid to rest over in
Greenmount. that elevation which has
overlooked his home, since he was a
little boy.

DENVER, March 12-The house
this afternoon considered the public
utilities bill. 1t is believed that Gov
ernor Ammons will veto the measure
if it passes with sections 35, SO and
n included.
The belief is the result of the gov
ernor's address at dinner last night
where Newman Erb of the Moffat
road, was guest of honor, Governor
Ammons emphatically endorsed Erb's
statement if the utilities bill passed as
originally framed that he will with
draw his funds.

MEXICAN MEDICINE MAN

One of the most picturesque char
acters whom Carl Lumholtz encoun-
tered in the Mexican expedition which
resulted in his "New Trails>in Mex
co," was Castillo, an old Papago med
icine man. Mr.. Lumholtz found him
singing outside house to a patient
who was lying on his back in front
OF him. The singer accompanied him
self with the scraping together of two
sticks,
Near an inverted basket on the
ground" recounted Mr.. Lumholtz, "an
effigy of horned lizard had beer
placed; it was made of wood and
darbed ocher. Its head turned toward
the patient.
"The medicine man, whom watched
from my horse, finished his treatment
by placing the effigy repeatedly on tho
patients leg, breathing and blowing at
the same time. The man had pa.r in
his leg which had been caused by a

to greet the Bishop and every one was
well paid Dor their presence! Tho
sermon was very practical, but at the
same time very forceful. The dis
course was styled by the speaker as
a New Years Sermon, for he said
that was the first preaching Sunday
morning he had had this year; and
In an eloquent and forceful manner
he admonished his hearers to resolve
to do all the good they can this year.
He said, Il am sometimes called
crazy, but | am not crazy. l am try
ing to awaken that dead man to ac-
tivity that he may produce fruit in
this year" The theme of the sermon
was "The Tree That Bringeth Forth
Not Good Fruit Shall Be Hewn
Down." He drew a striking picture
of an x at the root of a tree and he
said every man should see himself as
a tree and should remember that
unless he bears good fruit in time
he will be cut down.
