Death Of Ed Kilduf

The Fairplay, Park county, Flume,
IN chronicling the death Of the late
Edward Kilduff, pays the following
tribute to his memory:
,pThinking that Mr.. Kilduff was
taking too long a time to do the
chores Sunday afternoon, search was
made and he was found dead out IN
the back yard victim Of heart
trouble. He appeared to be in good
health during the day and his death
wss n shock to everyone.
HE was born at Wysox, Bradford
cohnty, Penn, Sept. 10, ls47, where
he remained until 1871 and then came
out to Denver, and in May 1872,
moved to Qusrtzville where he WAS
married to Fanny Mccormick, Nov.
10. 1872. In the spring of 1873 he and
his wife came to Alma where he en-
gagged in the hotel business, running
thu st. Nicholas hotel until the year
1900 when he disposed Of 1t and went
torlive with his daughter, Mrs. H. G.
Bishop and remained there until his
death, Sunday, December "a, 1914.
.'Mr. Kilduff was one of the few
men who claimed all his acquaint-
snces as friends and left this world
without having an enemy. In the
early days Of mining in Alma he was
noted for his kind assistance to the
prospectors and many miner tells of
the time when Ed had grub staked
him and wished him good luck in his
search for the ever elusive gold, and
coming back empty handed would be
welcomed with kind words and
hope that luck would be better in
the future.
sHe is survived by three children,
Mary A. Bishop and P. H. Kilduff of
Alma, and James E. Kildutf Of
Meeker, also two sisters in Pennsyl-
vania and one in Buffalo, N. Y, and
. brother, Thomas, at Meeker.
"The remains were laid to rest in
the Alma cemetery, Tuesday after
noon. The services were attended by
. large crowd both from Alma and
the surrounding district.
1.-THE Flume extends the heartfelt
sympathy of the entire community
TO the family, In this, their sad hour
Of bereavement"

of Ernest Smith
rFrom Fridays Daily.l

Ernest Smith, a telephone line
man was electrocuted this morning
at Hope, 5000 volts passing through
his body. ]. A. Tufts was called
from here with his lungmotor, but
Try had delayed calling 20 min
utes and then by the time Mr.
Tufts could drive at Hope, 1t was
too late to save his life. The acct
dent happened at 10 o'clock, Mr..
Tufts was notified at 1920 and he
drove to Hope in 40 minutes, arriv-
ing there at 1900 The lungmo-
tor was used but to no avail
Smith and other linemen were
putting a wire over the three big
electric lines from Harrington, each
carrying 1900 volts, which lights
the city of Hope. The friction wore
off the insulation and the telephone
wire was charged. The wire broke
and one man started to repair 1t
ard felt the wire was not anu
would not touch it. Another man
came into closer contact and burnt
his shoulder. Smith laughed at
them and grabbed the wire think
ing they we're only joking. He
was thrown to the ground and vir-
tuaIlv wrapped in the wire.
The accident happened in front
of the telephone office where
Smiths wife had charge OF the
switch board and she saw her hus-
band killed. Besides the widow he
leaves a year-old child. The fun
eral will probably be held Sunday.

BARN BURNED TO GROUND
CAUSE OF BLAZE UNKNOWN

The barn of Leonard Hensley was
totally destroyed by fire this morn
ing between one and two o'clock.
The structure was ready to collapse
when first noticed and the alarm
was not turned in soon enough to
save the barn. The team made the
run and saved the other outbuild-
ings The loss will be about $500
including the building and two tons
of hay and is partially insured.
There was no stock in the barn at
the time of the blaze. The fire
seems to have started in the center
Of the barn where the hay was stor-
ed and the cause is attributed to
combustion.
This is Abilene's first fire since

The Renewal a Strain

Vacation is over. Again the
school bell rings at morning and at
noon, again with tens of thousands
of the hardest kind of work has
begun, the renewal of which is
mental and physical strain to all
except the most rugged. The little
girl that few days ago had roses
in her cheeks, and the little boy
whose lips were then so red you
would have insisted that they had
been kissed by strawberries have
already lost something of the APP
pearanec of health. Now is a time
when many children should be CIV

serious trouble, and we know of no
