HERMANN RESIDENCE
Quilted BY FIRE

The residence of Mr.. and Mrs. E. E.
Hermann, 522 Greenwood avenue, was
gutted by fire about IL o'clock Thurs
day night during the absence of the
family from home. Mr.. Hermann
was at the Masonic lodge at the time
and Mrs. Hermann and family were
in San Angelo, Texas, where they
went recently to spend the Christmas
holidays with relatives.
The fire was discovered in the roof
of the building by Mrs. c. v. Clark
of 215 North Fifth street who sum.
moned the fire department to the
scene The flames had made great
headway before the arrival Of the
department. especially in the base
ment and kitchen at the back of the
house, and a great volume of water
was necessary to extinguish them.
Most of the furniture, carpets, cloth
ing and other belongings of Mr. and
Mrs. Hermann were badly damaged by
smoke and water and their loss will
amount to several hundred dollars.
Some of the things destroyed cannot
be replaced and Mr.. Hermann is un-
able to make a very exact estimate
of the loss.
The house is brick one and the
damage to it, which is understood to
be covered by insurance, is not seri-
GUS except in the kitchen and the con-
meeting rooms at the back of the
house. A few hundred dollars ought
to restore the building to as good
condition as it was before the fire.
The property was formerly owned by
Capt. H. NJ. Mingay. but for some
time past has belonged to William
A. Kuhfus of Los Angeles, Calf.
The fire seems to have resulted from
defective flue used in connection
with the kitchen stove. The fire was
a very stubborn one to control and
the department boys worked there un-
til o'clock this morning before they
were able to extinguish it.
Mr.. Hermann has stored his sal
wage furniture in the Acme block at
722 Main street. where an opportunity
will be given it to dry out.

FINE BUNCH OF TURKEYS
FROM THE PRISON FARM

A hundred fine turkeys have been
brought to Canon City from the pris-
on farms in Pueblo county and will
be dressed and cooked to provide a
feast for the men and women of the
penitentiary on Christmas day. The
turkeys were brought here on Tues
day and Wednesday and are splen-
did lot of birds. They were all rais-
ed on the prison farms near Vineland
and are estimated to weigh when
dressed something like nine pounds
apiece. Not for several years have
the convicts at the penitentiary been
provided with turkey for their Christ
mas dinner and the forthcoming feast
is being looked forward to with
much pleasurable anticipation by the
inmates of the institution.
Warden lyman and the other Off
GERS of the prison are determined
that Christmas day, 1916. shall be a
memorably pleasant one for the pris-
oners and they will leave nothing un-
done that will in any way contribute
to their enjoyment. The dinner will
be a splendid one with a menu con-
tanning all of the good things of the
season and the prisoners will be Civ
en- opportunity to enjoy it to the ut
most. Special privileges will be al
lowed everybody at the penitentiary
on Christmas day and entertainment
will be provided for the prisoners in
the chapel; including a moving pic
ture show. The prison band will play
on the lawn inside the walls of
the institution if the weather is fav-
orable and unusual freedom will be
allowed the convicts in celebration of
the day.
The prisoners in the road-making
camps of the state will also be feast
ed and entertained on Christmas day
and the occasion made as happy FOR
them as possible. 1t is expected that
the men in the road-making camps
will also have turkey dinner, but 1t
will be furnished them at the expense
of the counties where they are at
work. If Christmas day is not joyful
one for the prisoners of the peniten-
tiary it will not be because of any
lack of preparation on the part of
Warden lyman and his subordinates
to make 1t so.
