Gem Car Had Lights

In Publishing a hurried account
of the accident at the Gem mines
Tuesday, in which Geo. Cochran
suffered broken leg, we made an
error which we gladly correct.
We were under the impression
that neither car had lights, but
later found that the Gem mining
car was lighted, but had head-on
collision with hand car pushed
by miners. It is said that the
hand car was unlighted. We are
sorry of the mistake, which was
our own.
Mr.. Cochran. who was expected
to be taken to St. Luke's hospital,
was instead entered at ST Joseph s
in Denver. He was getting along
as well as could be expected at

Everyone thinks well of the sepa

more even than others, has reason to
be its devoted admirer. By means of
skirt or so, and generous supply of
b1ouses and smocks. she is able to give
the spice of variety to her daily garh
and to tone up her toilette to almost
any requirement the day may hold.
In wool fabrics the plaid, stripGJ and
barred patterns have provided for
great numbers of separate skirts, but
plain materials have not been wholly
neglected. A handsome model for
such skirt appears in the box-rlaited
