for 'fhayseeds, too, and it varied
SO much from the rest OF the pro-

separate entertainment.

musician, but reader as we'll, and
gave several numbers, including a
monologue. Il Can Dance With

made decided hit.
From start to finish there was no
room for criticism, for the Olinger

all those privileged to hear. Come

CLUB Hotel HAS
SECOND BIG FIRE
Fire Almost Totally Destroys
Hotel at 3O'Clock This Morn
ing; Caught from Papers In
Attic; Firemen DO Good Work

Residents of Idaho Springs were
awakened about 3 o. clock thismorn-
ing by the fire alarm, the Club ho-
tel having again been on fire.
Several weeks ago this same ho-
lei was damaged by fire, and the
Insurance company quickly ad-
jus,ed the loss, making the neces-
sary repairs on the building, etc.
The fire did considerably more
damage this time, and from the ap-
pearance seems almost beyond re-
pair.
The fire seems to have caught
in the attic which was full of old
papers, and soon the entire upper
story was ablaze. The roof was
nearly all burned, and the second
floor destroyed. The hotel, only
recently repaired, is now quite a
sorry looking sight, and what es-
capped the ere. was ruined by the
water.
The wind came up shortly after
the blaze got in full sway. and the
Ifremen deserve much credit for
keeping the fire from spreading tt
nearby buildings.

. the alarm. states that during tn,

water in the reservoir was lowere,

Red Cross Is Caring for
Pueblo Flood Sufferers

Th e Pueblo chapter of the
American Red Cross is being del
uged with requests for warm CLOTH
ing since the cold weather began,
according to information received
at the headquarters of the south
western division, American Red
Cross, in St. Louis.
Many Of the sufferers from the
food of June did not feel the need
of more clothing than they had
been able to save from the food
during the warm weather, but are
actually suffering now since the
winter has begun.
The Red Cross chapter has an
ample supply of clothing donated
for the purpose of caring for these
sufferers, it is said, but the trouble
is in getting it to the people il
time. Every day the Offices of the
Red Cross relief committee are
filed with applicants for warmer
clothing, and the work is SO much
heavier than was anticipated that
q new alignment of the staff of the
committee has been made neces-
sary to answer these applications,

HRIDAY. NOVEMBER
Harry Curran Celebrates
His 2lst ~ Birthday


Monday was the scene of much
activity. Messrs. and Mesdames
w. L. Shaffer, W. }. Woodward,
K. E. Moscript, and Vern Q. Earll
met at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frederick StroehIe about 8 O'Clock,
aud the entire party went to the
residence of MIR. and Mrs. Harry
Curran to surprise dad" Cnrran
on what he insisted was his 21st
birthday. However, nobody be-
lieved him.
Mr.. Curran found revenge by
inducing his guests to play New
Market, his favorite game, and one
in which he is a professional. As
most of the guests we're new at the
game, he gave them an awful trim
ming and did not seem to be hu-
inflated in the least for having
done it.
Everything went along nicely
until the final count came and the
first prize was about to be awarded.
Here the party tookss, decided turn
and things looked pretty stormy
for while. The women of course
insisted they had won the prize,
and finally the honors rested be-
tween Mrs Shaffer and Mrs.
Stroehle. The men folks did not
mind to see Mrs. Shaffer get the
first prize, but by some unknown
reason Mrs. Stroehle at the last
minute seemed to get large ma,
