HOWARD EATON, FAMOUS
 OLD GUIDE, DEAD

Leo Leaden of Gallup was in re- ceipt of letter Friday of this week bringing the information that Howard Eaton well known throughout the United States as a guide and rancher had died at his old home at Pitts burgh, Pa., on April 10, following an operation. MT. Eaton was about 80 years of age. He had lived an out door life and from general appear ances he would pass for a man of fifty. A few months ago he was in Gallup and visited with friends here. At that time he made arrangements with Leo Leaden to assist him in talk ing number of tourists over the Navajo reservation on May 10. All excursions have been cancelled. The Eaton Bros.' ranch was located at Wolf, Wyoming, which is thirty miles from railroad, Sheridan, Wyoming being the nearest station. The Eaton ranch was formerly a large cattle ranch. It is now one of the most at- tractive tourist resorts in the west. A large number of cattle are still main- tained on the ranch. Also a lapge herd of elk are pastured and cared for there.
 A letter written at Wolf, Wyoming dated April 10, and addressed to MT. Leaden is as follows:
 "It is with deep sorrow that we advise you of the death of Mir. How ard Eaton and the consequent neces- sity of giving up all plans for his trip in the southwest. He has looked forward to it with the greatest pleas ure.
 Funeral services will be held today in Pittsburgh, Penn., his old home.
 "Yours truly,
 EATON BROS"

VISION


7 Asst night l crept across the snow
IL Where only tracking rabbits go,
And there I waited, quite alone
Until the Christmas radiance shone.
At midnight twenty angels came,
Each white and shining Ike flame,
At midnight twenty angels sang,
The stars swung out like bells, and rang.
They lifted me across the hill.
They bore me in their arms until
A greater glory greeted them,
II was the town OF Bethlehem.
And gently, then, they set me down,
All worshiplng that holy town,
And gently, then, they bade me raise
My head to worship and to praise.
And gently, then, the Christ smiled down,
Al, there was glory in that townl
It was as II the world were free
And glistening in purity.
There, in that vault Of crystal blue,
It was as If the world were new.
And myriad angels, file on file,
Gloried in the Chrlst-childs smile.
II was 80 beautiful to see,
Such glory for a child like me.
So beautiful 1t does not seem
II could have been a Christmas dreami

and dressing and breakfast will be

ONE DIES, TWO INJURED
IN NEW ORLEANS FIRE

NEW ORLEANS, La.,-The Am
erican Creosote Company's wharf at
Southport was destroyed by fire Sat
urday afternoon with a loss estimated
at 100000. One man is dead two
Others are seriously burned and more
than dozen men working on the wharf
were forced to jump into the river
to save their lives.
Engines and tugs from the New Or
leans Fire Department fought the fire
for more than an hour and a half.
The dead man was John Gillins,
foreman of crew or carpenters who
was working on the pile driver. The
sweep of the black smoke which fol-
lowed the flames overcame him. Pull
motors were used without success.
Samuel Hill, SO of Shrewsbury, and
Arthur Ruiz 81, of Gretna were burned
severely and taken to Charity Hos
pital.

AT four o'clock on Sunday after.

wire hanger, dragged her hatbox from
under the bed and unearthed a small
and scarcely worn pair of tan pumps.
While she discards the sateen shirt
waist for the tan outfit, we will dis

Minnie lived in hall bedroom, with
small iron bed, oak bureau, wash
stand, bowl and pitcher, straight
back chair and two feet of floor space.
She cooked her breakfast. which in

two toasted soda crackers, over the
gas jet, and there were pewter spoon
and a china egg cup on the window
ledge. She shared the fire escape with
the occupant of the adjoining room,
and on the small iron landing outside
the window she kept jar of jam and
,stewpan. There were three pink
paper roses in glass vase on Min
MES bureau and paper-back copy
of Lady Audley's Secret" inserted
beneath the mirror to give it the de-
sired tilt. 1t was to this that Minnie
returned six out of her seven evenings.
But there is saving circumstance.
On the seventh day Minnie emerged
from her chrysalis and black sateen
shirt waist like a Moth Emporatus,
and the six days of Biggest Store were
left to the empty cocoon of the week.

FRUIT RATE HEARING
IS CALLED BY I. c. C..

WASHINGTON,-The Interstate
Commerce Commission is to hold a
hearing on Feb. 16 and II to consider
the reduction of freight rates on
fruits and vegetables. 1t is likely that
representatives OF the Georgia Water
melon Growers Association will be
represented. This information develop
ed at conference Saturday morning
with Senator William ]. Harris, who
called on the Commission regarding
previous information given out that
water melons and other products would
get 10 per cent reduction, but the an
nouncement at the time did not show
the cut to expire June 80
Harris urged that the 10 per cent
cut given for agricultural products in
Guiding watermelons, be extended be-
yond June 80, and in ADDITION further
cuts should be made. This question is
expected to be taken up at the hearings
of the commission next week. 1t was
shown that the 10 per cent decrease
expiring June 80, would not give much
assistance to the watermelon crop of
this year.
