FORMER CENTRAL BOY
KILLED IN EXPLOSION

Friends of George Dougherty were
shocked yesterday to learn of hds
tragic death at the Primos mine in
Boulder county as the result of an
explosion OF ten sticks OF dynamite.
He was engineer at the shaft house
and was adjusting illuminate caps to
the, dynamite sticks preparatory to
sending them down into the mine
when one OF them exploded in his
hands. The shfathouse was partially
wrecked and pieces OF the tdn roof
struck W. R. Griffith, top man at the
mine, and cut him slightly about the
head.
Griffith was about twenty feet dis
tant from the shafthouse when the
explosion occurred and saw Dougher-
TVS body hurtling through the air.
Dougherty was % years of age and
lived in Central PRIOR to moving to

number OF months on the Spur Daisy
property with Tom Martin. His moth

RAILROAD STRIKE

At the hour Of going to press the
impending railroad strike is the chief
topic of the country with chances
about even as to tie result. AS
both sides have turned a deaf ear
to President Wilson's proposals, he
has laid the matter before congress,
and that body will undoubtedly act
before the date set for the strike.
We have no interest IN the mat.
ter, other than to see fair play be-
tween the employer and the employe
without subjectirg 100, 900 900 of peo.
pie to the whims and caprices of the
few on either side Should the strike
go into effect, and all lines of rail-
way be tied UP, even for a brief space
Of time much suffering and privation
must ensue.
Congress the strorg arm OF the law
and as last resort will pass such
laws as will safeguard the country
and prevent the few from wantonly
destroying the country's prosperity,
and the suffering to its people.

OPENING OF SCHOOL
NEW TEACHERS

! The Central City public schools and
the Gilpin County Union High School
will open Tuesday, September 5, at
8 a. m.
The prospects for good school
year are very bright. The enroll
ment in the high school should be
considerably larger than last year
and there should be some increase
in the grades. We have some chang.
es in the teaching corps but al
though We regret very much the loss
Of our old tried teachers their places
are to be taken by experienced teach
ers who, We have every reason to
believe, will be successful.
Miss Margaret Anderson who has
held the position OF teacher of music
and drawing and assistant in the
grammar grades for the past three
years goes to Ashland, Ore, to
similar position. Miss Maude B. Cort.
ner of Mankato, Kans., has been
selected to fill the position. Miss
Cortner is graduate of the Kan sas
State Normal and has for six years
been teaching music, drawing, domes-
tic science and grammar school sub
jects in the small towns of Kansas
and Oklahoma. She has spent the
last two years in the schools OF Ell
| Reno. Okla. She is highly recon-
mended and has given years to prep.
aration for teaching her specialties.
Miss urbana Noonan, after five
years of most excellent service in
our lower grammar grades resigned
this summer to accept position as
principal of a grade school near Den
yer. Her place has been filled by
Miss Hazel Stribley of this city who
| is graduate of the Colorado State
Teachers College, and has had sew
eral years successful experience in
the schools Of Russell Gulch and
Black Hawk.
Miss Annie c. Taylor, teacher of
science and mathematics, who has
been homesteading a claim at North
poets to get leave Of absence from
the ranch and teach in some school
nearer home than Central City. Miss
Ella Anderson. of Hibbing. Mimi, will
| fill this position. Miss Anderson Is
a graduate of the University OF Min
nesota and has been teaching science
and mathematics in three of the
strong high schools of Minnesota for
the last nine years. She has the
, very best OF recommendations and
We have every reason to believe that
this department Of our high school
will continue to rank among the best
in the state.
The remainder of the teaching
force viii be in their accustomed
places on Tuesday ready for the
work Of another year.
