Gunnison, July 4. 1904.

What are you doing today? Cele-
brating the birthday of the old gen.
tleman with the star spangled vest
and striped trousers! We stayed al
home. Had planned to go to Waunita
but it has been raining all week and
takes so long to drive up. That elect
nc storm last week kind Of scared me.
Did you know that during the storm,
the depot and eating house ut Sargent
caught fire and burned down?
Wonder how the folks who live in
isolated parts of the county Jared.
see by the paper that John Lupold is
building road thru his Cochetopa
ranch so that the people at Sillsville
will have an outlet.
Jack and the boy went fishing all
morning. Had baked trout for dinner.
Last week young boy. Misner Nc
kee Of Montrose, fell into the river
at Cebolla while fishing and was
drowned. J. j. Carpenter got the
body out of the water.
Speaking of Carpenter reminds me
to tell you that Elmer Carpenter, who
fell from hsystack at Sapinero last
week. died yesterday from a broken
back. He was from Grand Rapids,
Michigan.
Falling into the river seems to be
the latest form of outdoor sport. Hi
ram Lees team and wagon went of
the bridge at Quartz creek and dump
ed him in. He rescued both himself
and the team.
Helen is in town, spending the
Fourth. Two of her girl friends, Ada
Caldwell and Jessie Holloway left the
other day. for Rochester. New York on
a visit.
Wish Heller and could go to the
Worlds Fair. The prize winners in
the News Champion contest will be
announced next week, and can hard
ly wait.
suppose the Sill; family will take
in the big show in st. Louis. c. T.
and Mrs. Stills and little Carlton have
gone to Kansas City.
Heard yesterday that Miss Norzette
Head, who just closed term of school
at Castleton, is leaving next week with
her mother for st. Louis.
was reading over the Twenty
Year Ago" column in the News Cham
pion this week, that the Review Press
had suspended publication as a daily
and would publish only weekly. My
stars! Wonder if We will ever have
another daily!
also read in that column that Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Dean had been mar
ried twenty years. How time flies!
Mrs. Deans maiden name was Lucy
Buckley and Father Quinn married the
couple. The brides chum, Miss Mary
Clarey, was bridesmaid and E. +.
Mueller. best man.
Jack is developing the prospecting
fever again. Saw him up the hillside
yesterday digging for something. He
was telling me joke he heard down
town the other day. An Irishman was
grieving to a friend. Said he, had a
divil of foine dream last night. |
dreampt was visiting wild the presi-
dent and he asked me would have a
toddy. told him would and he
asked me would ! take it hot or cowld.
l told him ''hot" and while he was
gone to the kitchen to get the hot
water / woke up; bejabbers, why
didn't I take il cowld!
Jack always has peach Of yarn
to tell me when he gets home late. He
says Tom Murray has gone to Cincin-
natl, Ohio, to attend the convention of
Elks.
Must ring off. Jack wants to go
fishing again. This morning he met
DR.. J. NJ. Norman, Grand Secretary
Of the Odd Fellows, who is visiting w.
S. Rainbow. They were up this way
on fishing trip.
Will surely write next week and tell
you who won in the contest. Want to
bet me Mable Meyer wins? l bet Jack
she will. Well SO long; hope you did
not get blown up with a frecracker.
AGNES.
