Held for Staying Night Miners.

Walsenburg-J. S. Curtiss and
Frank Kroupa were bound over to
the Huerfano County District Court
by Magistrate Hunt to stand trial for
the murder two weeks ago of Jose
Ramoa and Abel Espinosa, night
miners employed in the Jackson
mine near here. The heads of both
murdered miners were SO shot to
pieces that the coroner at first
thought they were killed with a spade
which was lying near the bodies. The
autopsy brought forth dozen As.
caliber bullets from the disfigured
heads.

SHIPS RICH TUNGSTEN
DAWN OF DAY MINE SENDS OUT
$4,000 IN ORE.
Several Properties Near Silverton Are
Shipping the Black Metal in
Large Quantities.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Silverton, Colo.-Late last fall the
Colorado Metals Company, with Louis
Shaffer, a mining engineer, as man
ager, began work on a tungsten vein
in the Dawn of Day claim, which had
been secured under lease and option.
Developments were meager, yet in a
few weeks time enough ore was
taken to yield 1890 pounds of hub
nerite concentrates, which ran 72 per
cent tungsten, and brought over $9,-
600 few days ago. Another ship
ment was made, said to be worth up
wards of $4,000.
A few weeks after operations were
commenced on Dawn of Day claim Al
Marshall opened up a hubnerite vein
on Cement creek, and in few weeks
had taken out ten sacks of crude ore,
which was shipped when the block
ade was lifted and netted about $500,
or about 80 cents per pound.
In store here, is a huge hubnerite
specimen, twenty inches long, a foot
wide and nine inches thick, from the
Conyers mine, which will easily run
25 per cent tungsten.
Many other properties could be
mentioned that show enormous veins
of tungsten-bearing ores-the Gladys,
owned by Louis Wyman; the Globe
Sisson group, the Bonita group, the
Sunnyside, Hercules, Tom Moore,
Holman's Ruby lease, and now comes
word to the city of a recent find that
will startle the centers of mining
when it is given out. All showing
hubnerite from crude shipping
streaks, varying from two to ten
inches almost solid to forty feet of
first-class milling ore, ranging from
to 10 per cent. Knifeblade streaks
are not known here.

Morgan's Drug
Store Is Burned
Splendid New Store Burned; Val
liable Stock Entirely De-
strOyed Friday Night
OPEN ONLY A MONTH
Frank Gerstman, Owner, Will
Start Again AS Soon as
Goods Arrive

The new drug store Of which
Morgan was so justly proud, was
devastated by fire late Friday
night, and it's valuable stock en-
tirely destroyed. The owner,
Frank Gerstman, will start again
however, as soon as he can make
necessary repairs and obtain a
stock of goods.
The Gerstman building is a
new brick structure which was
opened to the public just exact
ly a month before its burning.
It was a splendid building with
beautiful equipment and fixtures
and represented the expenditure
of a great deal of money as well
as the labor of years.
The fire started in the base
ment either from an overheated
furnace or defective wiring. 1t
was discovered about twelve
o'clock Friday night, and had
gained such Roadway that all
efforts to save the stock were
futile.
All that is left standing is the
four brick walls, the floor hav-
ing fallen into the basement.
The fixtures and furnishings
were of solid oak and these
burned like finder. The soda
fountain, one of the most beau
tiful and expensive in this part
of the state, is Icing wrecked
in the basement along with the
ruins of four pianos, a fine stock
of graphaphones and a large and
expensive drug stock.
In the Nels Jensen general
store next door the stock was
somewhat injured by smoke
which, got into the building from
the Gerstman store.

Redwood Falls
Poor Need HELP
L. LamOreaux Finds Several Des.
titute Families And Asks
Citizens to Help

L. Lamoreaux has recently
made it a business to investi-
gate the cases of several FAM
lilies in Redwood Falls and found
some cases which need immedi-
ate attention and considerable
of it. Mr.. Lamoreaux has de-
voted considerable time, money
and energy to the making of the
homes more habitable, provid-
ing warmer clothing for the in
mates and supplying fuel and
in some cases-even food.
Some funds have been con-
tributed by Redwood Falls resi-
dents, and some partially worn
clothing contributed. However,
more money and more wearing
apparel, especially children's
clothing, are badly needed. Any
one having any of either should
notify Mr.. Lamoreaux who will
call and get either gift and see
that it is placed where most
needed.
Mr.. Good Fellow also has a
chance to make the children of
these families happier, by
the gift of toys, books, ETC.,
those having been used-if still
in good repair-being acceptable.
An effort will be made to bring
a little Christmas cheer into
each home, and each more for
tunate family in the city should
look through it's store of play
things, books, etc., to see if
there are not things there which
may contribute to this cheer.
New ones will be acceptable al
so, and right here is the chance
for parents to give their, chill
dren an object lesson in the
great grace of charity.

Lee Winter Grows
Some Real Pork
Pig Raised at Redwood Falls
Makes over Three Hundred
Pounds of Pork

How is three hundred twelve
pounds of dressed pork for an
eight months and seven day old
pig? This was the result of the
work of Lee Winter of Redwood
Falls-one of the boys in the
Redwood County pig growing
contest.
Lee purchased his baby pig
when very small, and by the
close of the State Pig Growing
Contest, his pig had made a
gain of one hundred seventy-two
pounds in three months and
twenty-three days, being second
in Redwood County, Russell
Payne's pig having made a gain
of one hundred eighty-one
pounds in the same length of
time. Lees pig, however, at
this time was not through max
ing his rapid gains, but contin-
ued to make them at the rate of
eighteen pounds per day, weigh
ing when butchered close to
four hundred pounds. How many
farmers have made this great
a gain in their herds of swine :?
And would it not pay at the
present price of pork to give
more time to the care and feed
ing Of the swine from pigs up?
