Presbyterians Lay
Corner Stone

The Presbyterian Congrega-
ton laid the corner stone of their
new church on last Saturday
with very impressive ceremonies.
Rev. O. A. Erdman, chairman
of the committee on church
erection, conducted the formali-
ties used by the Presbyterian
church for such occasions.
Rev. Dametz gave the scrip
ture reading and a few well
chosen remarks.
Mr. +. S. Bobb gave brief
history of the church since It's
organization.
Rev. Cooper brought greetings
from the Methodist people.
Some of our fellow townsmen
who were scheduled to saeak
failed to put in an appearance.
The corner stone is of Silver
Plume granite, and makes a
pleasing contrast to the white
manganese brick being used in
the construction Of the church
building.
The masons are pushing the
work very rapidly and hope to
have it ready for the roof this
week. 1t is hoped that the con-
gregatlon will be able to cele-
bratc Christmas in the new
church.

.murchisons Have
A Narrow ESCape

Mr.. and Mrs. F. G. Murchison
and their daughter Irene, had a
very narrow escape from death
or serious injury last Saturday
night when their Ford car in
which they were riding was
struck and over turned by a
street car. The accident occurr-
ed at the corner of Lowell Boule-
ward and West 38th, in North
Denver about 7:15 o'clock. Miss
Nina Murchison had gone into a
store and left her parents and
sister waiting in the car out in
front. In the meantime Mr.. Muir
Gibson decided to turn the car a
round in the street. Just as he
got out into the middle of the
street Mrs. Murchison saw the
Leyden car coming from town.
She remarked that the Leyden
car was coming. Mr.. Murchison
thought she was speaking of a
car coming from the west but
quickly realized his mistake as
the car was bearing down on
them from the east. He put on
all speed possible in an effort to
clear the track, nut was unable
to do so. The fender of the Ley
den car caught the rear wheel on
the right side and lifted the car
from the ground, turning it over
on its side. Mrs. Murchison oc-
cupied the front seat with her
husband and Irene was in the
rear seat. All were slightly
bruised from the shaking up, but
Mr.. Murchison was injured the
most severely, suffering from a
stiff neck and bruises on his left
shoulder. Mrs. MurchisOn was
thrown on top of him. which
probably accounts for her escap-
ing so fortunately. Irene escap-
ed with slight bruises. All were
quite badly frightened.
The car was not badly damaged
and except for three cracked
spokes was still in good running
order. All are congratulating
themselves on their lucky escape.

cident in all his automobile ex,.

of this comedy IS fast and furious from

comedy is from the pen of that well
known author George Broadhurst which
is assurance of its merit. While in
ordinately funny it is written with

Improvements Being
Made at Factory

Made at Factory
Many exterior improvements
are being made at the Dry Gil
mate Tire factory which when
completed will add greatly to the
general capacity. A wall is be-
ing extended to enclose the new
vulcanizer and when this is COM
pleted the inner wall will be re-
moved. The change will necess-
itate a cessation of some of the
manufacturing departments, par
ticularly the tube room which
occupies space directly against
the wall to be removed.
The new vulcanizer is exclus-
lively for outside castings and is
of the very latest improved pat
tern. When it is in running or
der there will be no conflict be-
tween the tire and tube depart
ments as has been heretofore and
the plant will be ready for a
steady grind Of tires and tubes.

rubber was received Wednesday.

Blaze Was Not Caused By
Wiring, Says MIR. Duncan

According to c. M. Duncan's
version of the origin of the fire
which destroyed DR.. Fred c.
Hunts fine home last Thursday
morning it was not due to defect-
tive wiring. Mr.. Duncan says
he was on the scene among the
first and th.t the flames were
coming from "a dumb-waiter

electric light wire. Others also.

defective wiring the lights go
out Immediately, and that in this.
case the electric lights were
burning quite long time after
, the fire started. OF course The
Enterprise does not wish to do
the Electric people or anyone
else an injustice and merely
prints what is the general re-
port. Expert evidence often
times destroys the theories that
the inexperienced people have in
such cases and surely the former
should have greatest weight.
The writer was under the inn
preston that the building had
been wired for many years, but
learned from Mr.. Duncan that
the wiring was done only about
six months ago. Mr.. Duncan
was greatly annoyed over the re-
port and we regret if it has done
him or his company any injustice.

Evans & Bennett secured the
contract for excavating for R. O.
Graves addition to his black
smith and machine shop and
started the work Thursday after
noon with wheeled scrapers.
The dirt is being used to widen
the grade on the hill south of the
c. & S. tracks on Wadsworth
Avenue. The grade will also be
reduced if the dirt holds out,
which will be a great improve
ment. The Wadsworth hill has
been a great menace to the safe
ty of travel in automobiles for 10
these many years. 1t was great
ly improved a couple of years
ago by donated work and money
raised by the commercial club,
but proved quite an expensive
proposition and still was not a
very safe piece Of road, several
accidents having been recorded
when automobiles were turned
over. With the road widened
several feet and the steepness
reduced it will be in much better
shape. This probably never
would have been done but for
the enterprise of our business
men Messrs. Graves and Davis
whose excavation work will fur
nish the dirt quite handily.

A Statement from Manager Street

Henry Street, manager of the
Boquillas Land and Cattle Co., is
in Tucson today. He said the pa
pers had made serious mistake
when they stated the Boquillas peo-
pie had had trouble with Jack Clin-
ton, the man who is said to have
been murdered by Ed Scarborough
and man named Cox. !.
Mr.. Street said be had never
seen Clinton to his knowledge, and
that his company had had no trou-
BILE with him, as Clinton's land does
not adjoin the land of the cattle
company but is next to land be-
longing to the Greene people. Mr..
Street said he had warned Scarbo-
rough not to have trouble with any
one, and that Scarborough was
not detective IN the employ of the
Boquillas company, but had been
employed to ride the line and watch
for attempts to run the cattle into
Mexico that might be made by
bandit gangs,-Tucsou Star.

Mormon Colonies Deserted

Douglas, July 14,-The Mormon
colonies in Sonora will soon be en-
tirely without American residents.
T. N. Castle, one of the best known
American farmers of that section,
has moved to Douglas, and will
make this place his home indefn~
itely. In a week or SO Messrs. Finn
and Weston, two of the most prom
inent Mormon colonists, will bring
their families to Douglas.
This will leave not a single
American resident at ColOnia Nor,
clos, and there has been none at
Colonia Oaxaca for the past year.
At San Miguel, sixty miles further
down, there is not even Mexican
family in the once prosperous viii
lage.
In the Mormon co'onies the
wheat is being pounded and thresh-
ed at present. The crop will be
about twelve or fifteen thousand
bushels. 1t is being ground into
fonr as fast as harvested. Present
prospects are that no crops will be
planted at the colonies this fall,
unless conditions greatly improve.
Cash paid for old copper, brass
and lead. The Gem Secondhand
