LOCALS TAKE FAST
GAME FROM ALAMOSA

| AS predicted, the ball game Tues
, day between Alamosa and Monte
Vista was a fast one, and a good
sized crowd was kept fully interested
until the last play was made. Hall,
| for Alamosa, and Cecil Huggins. for
Monte, were the opposing pitchers
and both showed good form after the
first inning, in which five earned
runs were made. Higgins had sup
port that was gilt-edged and Monte
fans were delighted with the pep
shown by the home team. Carroll
ofiiciated as umpire and gave satis-
faction as usual. He may call a bad
strike occasionally but when he does
it is without favoritism and calls the
reminder that all human beings
sometimes make an error.
A synopsis of the game appears
about as follows:
Callahan leads the Alamosa bat
ting list with a single just inside the
first base line and goes to second on
error by Wallace; Moss hits a two
Dagger scoring Callahan; Hinkle
scores Moss on a single and dies at
second on throw to that bag by
Mcintosh; Sieber gets two-base hit;
Ryan flies out to left field; Hall out
pitcher to first.
In their half of the first inning.
Monte gets a single by Ed Busch; C.
Mcintosh manipulates a nice sacri-
flee bunt, advancing Ed; Brown poles
out a three-bagger, scoring Busch,
and romps in on two-base hit by
John Mcintosh; P. Huggins strikes
out; Wallace connects for a clean
single and the third run is registered
by Mcintosh; r. Busch is safe at
first on center fielder's error but is
tagged stealing second.
Strike outs and fast fielding pre-
vented any tallies being made by
Ell her side from the second inning
until Monte came to bat in the
eighth. In this inning. two singles
by Brown and J. Mcintosh and a
bunt by P. Higgins. assisted by three
errors on the part of Alamosa, were
responsible for adding three more
scores to Monte's list, altho 1t took
some fancy base running to put them
across.

"FIGHTING FOR FRANCE"

The Iris theater has booked the
genuine war pictures, Fighting for
France" released under authority of
the French government. These pic
lures have been shown in the east at
prices as high as Use, but will be
shown at the Iris next Monday night
for 10c. The New York Tribune,
after seeing the pictures, said:
THE pictures take one close to
the scenes of action, and the figures
of General Joffre, King George, and
Lord Kitchener become as familiar
as those OF the nameless privates. A
battle in the snow showing the
French soldiers storming height
held by the Germans was the best
feature of the films. Motion pictures
of the German trenches and entan-
clements were taken from the French
trenches. Pictures of the battlefield
OF Champagne, following the drive
that began September 25, showed
yards of bodies in grewsome reality.
The most imposing scene was the
passing OF the British army before
King George. Its title reads There
will now pass before you a body OF
men numbering 10000, more than
the combined army and navy OF the
United States.'"

THE LA JARA EXCURSION

When Mr.. c. G. Sargent, Agricul-
tural College specialist on rural edu-

the interest of consolidated schools,
1t was planned to have an excursion

building, also the school system at
that place.
The automobiles commenced COM

CATION comprising the farmers from
the entire country north of the river,
led by Mr.. Thomas, valley agricul-
turist, and c. e. Hart, county super
intendent, started south on the Gun
barrel road. About $50 the party
arrived at Bowen church, where they
were joined by a large delegation
representing the Bowen and Brunson
school districts, and all reached La
lara about 10:45 o'clock.
The forenoon was spent in visiting
the different grades and especially
the cooking department, where the
"eats" were. The Ladies' Aid soci-
ETY. prepared dinner and those who
were lucky enough to secure seat
at the first two tables ate to their
satisfaction of chicken. noodles, po-
tatoes, dressing, salad. pie and cof-
fee. Unfortunately these good things
could not last, as there were many
more people than expected.
Promptly at lao, everyone gath
cred in the large auditorium of the
school building and listened to ad-
dress and discussions on the subject
of consolidation" About $3.50 the
excursionists started home, some 60

way of Bowen. There were thirty
automobiles, and about 100 people,
counting the children.

vantages of their school system, it
was almost the unanimous opinion of
those who were there that wherever
practicable, consolidation was the
thing. AS a result, there will be an
election called in school districts
Nos. %, "a and 27, on July 5th, for
the purpose of voting on the question
of consolidation. There will also be
an election in school districts Nos.

A recent order has been received
by the local d. & r. G. agent author
izing him to grant half fare rates to
all inmates of the Soldiers Home,
which includes wives or widows of
veterans, but does not include en-
ployees of the home. This will be
received as good news by the in
mates of the home, as the privilege
has not been enjoyed recently. The
order seems to have been the result
of activity of lady recently dis
charged from the home by the COM
missioners because she asked for a
half-fare at Denver and got it.

ENOS HOLDEMAN
ACCIDENTALLY KILLED
AT ROAD CAMP

Enos Holdeman, 40. of Monte
Vista, was killed Tuesday morning
by being crushed by rock while
working on the Pagosa- South Fork
state highway. Holdeman and Man
20 Wells were the machine men en-
ployed by the Chapman Contracting
company and part of their duties
was to examine and dislodge all loose
rocks after blasting, so that none
would fall and injure the workmen
in the succeeding operations. 1t
seems that round of holes in the
small cliff where the Chapman crew
was working had been blasted about
1880 Tuesday morning and it was
found necessary to put in another
blast to remove three large rocks
that were left after all the loose
ones had been pried out with bars.
Holdeman was engaged in fitting the
fuse to charge at one of the rocks
when loose bowlder weighing about
400 pounds fell from above where he
was sitting and struck him in the
abdomen. Several of the men saw
the accident and ran to Holdeman,
but 1t was not thought that he was
very seriously injured, although he
could not move.
The injured man was carried to
camp on stretcher and l.. ]. Chap
man made every possible arrange
ment to have him taken to the near
est doctor. Accordingly he was
taken over the two miles of COM
pleted road in wagon, thence
across the trail on a stretcher to the
section of road completed by Logan
& West, where they were met by an
anto driven by Shorty" Jadgman.
After transferring him from the wa
gon to the car, all speed possible was
made to get Holdeman to South Fork.
He asked repeatedly to have his po-
sition changed, which was done, and
after going about two miles he called
for drink of water which could not
be obtained at that place. Finally
coming to water, Chapman had the
car stopped and jumping out to get a
cupful glanced at Holdeman and saw
that he was breathing his last. The

Enos Holdeman came to Colorado
from Indiana in 1885 and for num-
ber of years was engaged in lumber
ing and tie-cutting in the northern
part of the state. In '93 he came to
Creede and worked for Luke Chap
man three years, after which he was
EMPLOYED as a miner at Creede and
Idaho Springs. During the past sew
en- years he has ranched in the val
ley. On May 22nd he went to the
Chapman road camp as machine man.
Deceased was known as a hard
worker and very reliable. He had
a genial disposition and was well
liked. Surviving him are his wife,
TWO daughters and SON.. Funeral
services were held this friday aft
ernoon at the Baptist church. and
the Elks conducted ceremonies at the
grave, deceased being member OF

tains, according to advices seceived
yesterday by Dean ]. q. Scrugham at

formation, says the Reno Journal
That the sink of crevice is the re-
suit of an earthquake, similar to the
one which practically destroyed the
town of Kennedy and did so much
damage in Pleasant valley, Is the
opinion of Scrugham. judging from
the description and information he
has.
From a scientific standpoint the
phenomena is a very interesting one
1t may have a great deal to do with
the water conditions in that region
Experts declare that it is very diff
cult to reach water az forty foot
level and they are at loss to explain
the abundant growth of grass ant
other vegetation in that locality.
Dean Scrugham and others will
probably make an investigation Rep
resentatives of the university will
probably go to the sink taking obser
yations for research purposes
