In the midst of festivities yesterday
terrible gloom was cast over the city
by the news of the sudden death Of
Mrs. James Otis, who passed away
at Mercy hospital about noon. follow

Mrs. Otis life was the highest ex-

She was . devoted wife. IN ideal
mother and true friend. Every ob-

true Christian spirit. Her standard
in life was one Of the highest ideals.
She knew no compromise when right

multitudes. Not one who shared her
acquaintance but is better for hav-

To her husband, her children, hsr

Fully one thousand people assem-
bled at the fair grounds yesterday
afternoon to enjoy the entertainment
provided Aside from the unfortunate
accident, which occurred early in the
afternoon, the affair was complete
success and every one is high In their
praise of the management for their
splendid program so well carried out.
There was something of interest do
ing every minute. The contestants
in the sports and races were out for
the money and there was not the
slightest evidence of jockeying-which
so often spoil affairs of this sort for
the spectators. The ball game was
good, even if Durango boys did loose.
Our visitors we're worthy of the hon.
ors they received. Considering their
lack Of practice, Durango boys are
certainly to be congratulated in the
showing they made.
The different features of the pro-
gram and the results follow:
Five-mile motorcycle race-Steph-
enson first, Jemison second. Time,
1856.
Free for all, half mile harness race
Jim Curl's horse, Pat C, won the
three heats. lime, 1908 As, 1:07 1-2,
1:O7 4-5. Buster Brown, Paul Back
inger's horse, was second in two heats.
Reward G., owned by Grant Clifford,
was third in two heats and second in
one.
In the quarter mile running race
Silver Heels was first. Time, "a 1-2;
Red Bird, second.
Hammond Nabors won the cowboy
race with "Billie" Ritter close sec
ond.
In the half mile race King was first.
Time, 54 AS. Bay Bess second.
In the gentlemen's driving race Har-
ry Ayres' horse, drive.l by Curl, won
first money and Martin Verce's driv-
ing horse second.
The chicken pulling contest was one
of the interesting features. All con-
testants were white men.
The ball game resulted in a score
of 8 to 7 in favor of Ignacio.
Prof. Carson's pupils gave splen-
did athletic exhibition.
Throughout the afternoon the Du-
range band furnished excellent music.
They were heard again on the streets
in the evening. The fire boys gave an
exhibition run about $3.50. Skyrockets
were much in evidence until a late
hour.

ACCIDENT
MARS4TH

While participating in the motor
cycle race at the fair grounds yes.
terday afternoon, Walter Foley was
the victim * al. accident, which re-
suited in the most painful INJURIES
and one that came near costin., tim
his life. The six riders in the race
had completed but half the distance
around the track of what was to be
five-mile contest and were going at
terrific speed when Foley, who was
second, and Stein, third, were suddenly
hurled from their machines, with ter
rible force. Stein escaped with few
scratches. The spectators give diff
ferent versions of how the accident
occurred One version is to the eff
feet thai Stein who was just ahead
of Foley encountered a rough place
in the track ard momentarily lost cen
trol of his machine, and Foley at
tempting to miss him turned too quick
and threw himself into the fence. An
other is that Foley was attempting to
pass Stein and accidentally ran into
him, spilling them both. The accident
threw the men in opposite directions
ard the fourth rider passed between
them without difficulty. Guy Jemi-
son, riding fifth, ran over STEMS
wheel which was on the track, but es-
capped fall.
1t appeared to the vast audience
that tine fall must have cost the young
man bis life. When help reached his
side he was semi-conscious. His face
was 50 badly bruised and cut and the
b!ocd was flowing so freely that it
was at frs, impossible to determine
the extent OF his injuries. He was
placed in DR.. Schlabach's machine and
rushed to Mercy hospital where DR..
Haggart dressed his wounds. 1t was
found that his upper jaw bone was
broken. in fact the fracture extended
to tine bridge of his nose. His lip was
torn through from the corner of the
mouth to a point more than an inch
below. There were deep gashes on his

was badly bruised. There were bruises
and scratches on his body and limbs.
At first there seemed danger of con-
cussion of the brain, but today that
danger seems removed. His condition
late this afternoon is coed, indeed
better than could possibly have been
expected and unless some unlocked for
complication arises he will recover. 1t
will doubtless be several weeks before
he is himself again, and the scars he
will always carry.
