NEW cEoAREooE STAGE
MAKES ITS "DEeOo'

w. T. Taylor, the Cedaredge stage
man. is all spiffied up this week owing
TO the fact that he has introduced the
big White auto stage to the general
public and is carrying passengers to
and from the Surface Creek country
with much greater ease than hereto,
fore
The capacity of any auto is a vari-
able quantity. This one carries five
seats. II the patrons are merely
going somewhere the capacity Of
the car is about twenty; il it carries
a bunch of base ball or wrestling
match fiends. the capacity, we should
say. could be at least doubled. So
that's the truth about Taylor's naw
auto in n nutshell, but whatever the
demands of the travelling public it
will find ample accommodations ami
the same CHEEKY service which has
always been dealt out by the Cedar

HOME ROBBED OF BEAUTIFUL
LIGHT IN LOSS OF BOY

There are times when the words
of coincidence one would express are
only empty symbols, when in the
awful presence of death and the real
ization of human suffering, any
thought, however gracefully clothed
seems to the speaker or the writer
only hollow mockery.
Such is the frame of mind in which
the writer feels herself in reviewing
the events in connection with the
last moments of Lawrence Carlson
when on Friday, March Goth, at The
conclusion of happy vacation the
swift arrow of death pierced his
heart and took away from the home
a life that was always the brightest
and best
Lawrence was a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. C. A Carlson of the Upper Gun
nison Valley. He met his death
while taking horseback ride. the
saddle slipping and the boy being
unable to extricate his foot from the
stirrup.
Seated on the horse with Lawrence
was his brother two years younger
and when the saddle slipped the lat
ter landed unhurt. The elder lad
was less fortunate; the horse rar
for distance, dragging the body and
it is thought the head came in con
tact with a stone.
The little brother ran to the house
and told OF the tragedy and a physi
clan as summoned, but the boy expired
without regaining consciousness.
Lawrence was born in Delta OF
August 2. 1908, and was therefore II
years Z months and "a days OF age
He was member of Miss Cloud.
Sixth grade.
Funeral services were conducted
Sunday afternoon at 200 O'Clock b,
