HAS MORE THAN HIS
SHARE OF TROUBLE

Ray w. johnson, janitor al the court
house, is suffering from an attack of
pneumonia. While his condition ia
not alarming, II is such as to keep him
confined TO his bed and necessitate the
delegation of his work about the court
house to somebody else.
Mr.. johnson has had sufficient bad
luck and misadyenture during the. last
six or seven months to justify him IN
the opinion that he is pursued by a
jinx, if there is such thing. Early
in the winter, while chief of the tire
department, he had the misfortune to
have his left arm disabled for a long
time by the accidental discharge of
revolver. which sent a bullet into
the bone near the elbow. This in
jury proved to be quite serious and
prevented him from doing any kind
of work for several weeks.
Scarcely had the wounded arm heal
ed when he was the victim of another
accident hardly less distressing. II
occurred while he was helping the
fire department extinguish the fire in
the Burrage block and resulted in his
being taken home in an almost help
less condition. In endeavoring TO get
into the burning building where the
fire could be more effectively reached
he was compelled TO force his way
thru one Of the windows and in doing
30 was badly cut about the legs by
broken glass. He was an invalid from
its effects for month.

BOX OF DYNAMITE
FOUND IN TUNNEL

Thursday afternoon while bunch
of Canon City high school boys were
exploring by means of electric search
lights the old and partially completed
Harding tunnel under the hogback a
couple of miles north of town they
found on ledge of rock about a
hundred yards from the entrance a
box containing forty sticks of dyna-
mite.
Some of the sticks were taken out
to the portal of the tunnel by their
discoverers and an effort made to
explode them by throwing them
against the rocks. but for some reason
they failed to go of.
The matter was reported to the
authorities by the boys on their return
home and City Marshal C. F. Skinner
drove out to the tunnel this morning
and brot the dynamite to town. Mr..
Skinner was in terror all of the time
after he had loaded the stuff into his
buggy lest it should go off and drove
as carefully as he could so as to OBJ.
viate any unnecessary jars and jolts
to the vehicle.
After he had gotten back to town
safely with the explosives Mr.. Skin
ner was in much the same predica-
ment as the man with the white ele-
phant He didn't know what to do
with it and was given all kinds CT
advice by mis- friends as to the best
way of getting rid of it. The majority
of them urged him to dispose of it by
dropping it into the Arkansasr iver.
What course he finally adopted has
not been made public.
The box containing the dynamite
was dated 1909 and the explosive was
probably left here at the time of the
abandonment of the work on the tun-
mel project. l.. L. Harding stated to-
day that he was not aware that any
dynamite was left in the tunnel when
the men quit work, but the date on
the box would indicate that it had
been taken there during the construc-
ton period.

DIAMOND BRICK PLANT
THREATENED BY FIRE

The fire department made an emer-
aenoy run 10 the plant of the Diamond
Fire Brick company at IL o'clock this
morning in an effort to extinguish a
blaze in the straw sheds connected
with the establishment. located near
the west end of the company's prop
erty. A March gale was blowing at
the time and the department did not
arrive in season to do anything more
than prevent the flames from commu-
nicating TO other property in the VI
cinity.
The loss to the company by the
destruction of the straw sheds. which
were uninsured, is estimated at $3.50.
The high wind famed the embers
into flames after the department had
returned to its headquarters on North
Fourth street and endangered the
safety of the brick plant for the sec
ond time during the morning and re-
QUESTION was again made on 1t for
help. The second alarm was turned
in a little before noon and attract I'd

der control without much difficulty as
the wind subsided.
At the same hour a confiagration
was threatened on East Main street
in consequence of a raging fire in the
dry grass about the plant of the Can
on Brick and Tile Manufacturing com.
pany and part of the department force
was assigned to duty there. The fire
had caught in a jungle of dry grass
and cattails and for short time swept
everything before it. A small frame
building that had been used as sta.
BILE was in the path of the flames and
was destroyed. No other damage was
done and the loss will not much II
any exceed two hundred dollars.

THE FARMERS OPPORTUNITY

Canon City has many farmers who
know what can be done on farm.
Also Canon City has many tracts Of
ground which are not fully occupied
by trees.
Here is an opportunity for men who
know how to cultivate and raise farm
products.
In the memory of many men prices
of farm products have never been
so high. They will be as high Or
higher next winter.
If we have war no one can estimate
what food stuff and feed will cost next
Ninter.
II is a fine time to do a little real
farming around Canon City. Beets,
corn, beans and wheat all do well
around here. We have heard of one
East Canon man who sold the cora
from two acres last fall for $3.50.
A city block contains only about
two acres. See what can be done on
"a city block.
Cabbage can be grown easily and

Tomatoes will be an excellent crop

Beans grow easily ard will bring 4
