lanes Wellington. VINO hunted

Wellington, now a linotype oepra-
tor Tor the Evening Herald, was
working for a paper in Pueblo when
the flood came. His sister Mrs. H.
G.. Potts. just previous to the flood
had written him from Trinidad that
she was going to Pueblo for a visit.
Then Wellington heard that his
sister was in one OF the Pullman
cars which had been caught in the
flood waters. Wellington hunted for
the car and finally found it on top
of a hill. After a futile search, We'll
lington gave his sister up or dead and
came to Albuquerque.
Friday Wellington was at work
when a news item came to his ma
chine. The item said that Mr.. and
Mrs. H. G. Potts had just bought the
Manhattan cafe. Wellington could
work no longer. He was given a
short leave and found that there was
no mistake. His sister had not gone
to Pueblo as she had written she
would but had gone to Albuquerque
instead.

ing at III South First street from

that the Dallas Hotel, which occupies
the upstairs will continue to operate

the structure. Mr.. Koury has been
in business there for over IL years.
