have crossed the strawberry with the

product all ready for the table. An
other fellow, produced a cherry which
he called the Champ Clark, but got a
Woodrow Wilson cherry off the same
tree and rather queered his game.
These things are along the line of de-

Two Feet of Snow Blocks
Transportation Facilities
of All Cities
SNOW CONTINUED TO
FALL THIS MORNING
And But Little Abatement Is Expected
During the Day-Trains Not Trying
to Move from Stations-One of the
Worst Storms State Ever Knew.

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 5-Denver
awoke today to find every manner of
traffic blocked by more than two feet
of snow, which covered the city. Rail
road trains are unable to move from
the station, and the service of most of
the roads was abandoned. The snow
continued to fall this morning and but
little abatement of the storm is looked
for during the day. Towns in the
central and southern portions reported
one of the worst snow storms in the
history Of the state, and the same con-
ditions as existed in Denver as regards
transportation facilities are true in
all the other large towns and cities.

Is Involved in Suit Brought
by Mrs. Katherine Hooker
of Los Angeles
$1,000 IN FINERY BURN
ED AT SUNAPEE LAKE
And She Is Seeking to Have Boston g.
Maine Pay This Amount-Company
Would Have Charged More If 1t Had
Known Trunks Contained Valuables.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ). - The right
of the ordinary interstate traveller to
recover full value for baggage lost
hinges on the fight of Mrs. Katherine
Hooker of Los Angeles, Calf, to have
thc supreme court require the Boston
q Maine railroad to compensate her for
hnery valued at $1,000, lost in a fire
at the Sunapee Lake, n. H.. station in
I9os. The railroad contends that it
transported baggage at particular
rate, on the condition that the value
did not exceed 800, and would have
charged higher rate if it had known
that the trunk contained more
valuable belongings. Under the Mas
Sachusetts law, where Mrs. Hooker :
Journey ON the road began, she would
be allowed to recover the entire 81.
ooo, on the ground that the limitation
ON the right to recover more than
500 was against public policy.
