Gunnison. August %, 1904


Its raining pitchforks and we-thc
whole family-are tied up indoors.
wish you could see the different ey-
pressions. Hclen's looks would pickle
eggs without vinegar. She was going
to town to the party Virgie Mueller
and Lillian Miller are giving today for
Daisy Vader, but the rain spoiled her
plans.
! hope the rain lets up soon, or we
will be washed away. There was n
cloudburst on Quartz Creek yesterday
and did considerable damage to crops.
Frank Lockwood lost three acres Of
oats. c. A. Sutton, S. Sorrenson ana
a number of others lost over $50 tons
OF hay. Charley Mundell and several
of his neighbors lost their chickens.
Near c. w. Bain's place lightning
hit telephone pole an killed four
calves.
II is a wonder those two girls,
Grace Stevens and friend didn't get
washed away while on the way to Par
lin. They started up on their wheels
TO visit Fannie Winters, but one of the
wheels broke down and the girls walk
cd the rest of the way.
Hope c. b. Sampson and daughters,
Mabel and frankie, and Sadie Lucero
don't get hurt. They are up on Tay-
lor river berrying.
We haven't had any mail all week
but ] call up my friend in town and
get the news. d. f. Falvey and fam
lily left this week for Chicago. He is
going to run a hotel. Says he is thru
with railroading. Wonder il Ed Dun
din didn't think he was thru. too, when
he fell into the pit at the round house
and sprained his wrist.
i would like to have gone to town,
too. today. Mrs. C. A. Nelson had a
farewell luncheon for Mrs. w. 8.
Rainbow, and that evening the Metho-
dist ladies gave her surprise party.
They gave her lovely travelling bag,
while the Epworth League presented
Miss Mabel Rainbow with souvenir
spoon. The Rainbows will miss Gun
nisOn friends some day.
The lady next door" in town was
telling me about it on the phone. She
was getting her little girl ready for
the surprise party lot of little folks
had on Eugene Riley, it being his 18th
birthday.
They are having a musical and lit
erary entertainment in town tonight.
Mrs. Mabelle DeKay, nee Land, is on
the program with two recitations.
We will enjoy plenty of good music
when we move back to town this win
ter. Henry Mauer has organized an
orchestra. Those in 1t are: Mr.. Maui
er and Jas. Emerson, violins; Jerry
Williams, cornet; Charles Myers,
baritone; Miss Tenie Schmitz, pianist
Say, what do you think? George
Helmick resigned as marshal and Sam
Duree has been appointed in his place
My friend was telling me this morn
ing over the phone that C. l. Miller is
entertaining his two cousins, Mrs. An
ME Sells and Mrs. Hattie Cookingham
from Denver.
Hon. j. F. Jones, wife and daughter,
Miss Maude of Boulder are in town,
visiting Mr.. Jones' daughters, Mrs.
w. E. Dennis and Mrs. o. +. Willis.
A. L. Wilson's brother, G. X. Wilson,
arrived yesterday from Boulder for a
fishing trip. He is city engineer of
his home town.
Wish / had the latest issue of the
Gunnison papers. l hear that Salida
is starting a daily called The Chron-
icle, and edited by Julian Hulaniski of
the Ouray Plaindealer.
Jack says he heard the other day
that Howard Herrick has taken charge
of the Sillsville store.
And that reminds me that Mrs. Mil
lie Bird of Salida has taken charge of
