Mrs. Richard Williams while trying
to turn a horse and buggy on High

horse backed too far, running the buggy
over the high bank onto the Bobtail
tramway and himself falling through
the back door of Mr. Ed. McCarty’s
house. The buggy was entirely wreck
ed, but strange to say the lady and the
horse were not seriously injured. The
bank they fell over was about 25 feet
high.
This office had installed a telephone

Henry C. Bolsinger is authority for
the following: A large shot was fired !
in a winze between the 700 and 800 foot
levels in a mine in Nevada. The winze
was about 100 feet deep. After wait
ing a sufficient time for the smoke to
clear out and for the air to be in good
condition, one of the men went down
and was heard to work a few minutes
and then stop. He was called to but
gave no answer and it became clear that
he was overcome by bad air. A man
by the name of John Williams volun
teered to go down, and finding the man
who jfirst descended, in an insensible
condition, tied the rope around him and
gave the signal to hoist. The condition
of the air was such that he had no time
to fasten himself to the rope in any way,
so he just took hold of the rope with his
right hand and guided and steadied the
other man with his left. In this way
they were hoisted the 100 feet safely.
The arm of the rescuer was swollen to
the size of one of his thighs. The two
celebrated the occasion in a becoming
manner.
While two men and a little girl, about
ten years of age, were returning from
the funeral services at the Catholic
church last Saturday, a painful accident
by which one of the men had both his
legs broken, and the little girl sustained
injuries of which she shortly after died,
occurred. They were driving at a rapid
rate down Lawrence street, and near
the junction of the Casey road with that
street, in an endeavor to pass a team,
the buggy struck a post, breaking the
buggy and throwing all the occupants
out with the results above mentioned.
The Observer hereafter would be pub
lished on Saturday instead of on Wed
nesday.
F. E. Peterson returned Monday from
a hunting trip near Boulder where he
owns a lake. After three or four days
he succeeded in bagging six ducks, two
of which got away—by theft, so Mr.
Peterson claims. Mr. Peterson did not
find the ducks on his lake in very good
condition for want of food and were in
such shape they were compelled to
double-head to swim. He got some
wheat and corn and scattered a few
tons of each along the banks of the
lake and anticipates that the ducke will
be rolling fat when he again goes
agunnlng.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
The teachers are quite jubilant over
the improvement in the school work
during the past three months as shown
by the term reports just issued. Pupils
are beginning the work of the new term
with a spirit of earnestness and deter
mination that promises additional im
provement in the months to come.
Supt. Matthews of Black Hawk, will
have an open day in his schools on
March 26th, and has invited the Central
City teachers and eighth grade to at
tend. The invitation is especially ap
preciated by the Central City teachers
and they will endeavor to attend. Such
invitations are indicative of the friendly
feeling that exists between the two
schools, a condition of affairs alike de
sirable and creditable to both com
munities.
The literary societies held a meeting
last week to choose their represntatives
for the Alumni contest. The Alpha Zeta
society chose Lee McCargar and Frank
Morrison to represent the society in
debate, the Alpha Omega choosing
Walter and Ray Keleher. The subject
is, resolved, that the armaments of the
world powers should be reduced to a
police footing. The Alpha Omega have
the affirmative. The contestants in
recitation and original story writing will
probably be chosen this week.
The Clear Creek tri-county teachers’
association will be held at Idaho Springs
on Saturday, April 25th. On the pre
ceding evening there will be a declama
tory contest in the Idaho Springs opera
house between representatives of grade
and high schools in the three counties.
Each high school in the association dis
trict will be entitled to one representa
tive in this contest. Each grammar
school consisting of the sixth, seventh,
and eighth grades will be entitled to
one contest, nt in the grammar school
division. The names of all contestants,
with subjects, must be sent to Mrs.
Carrie J. Mason of Idaho Springs not
later than the first day of April. Dec
lamations shall contain not less than
600 nor more than 1500 words. The
speaker shall not be assisted in the final
rendition by a second party in any man
ner whatsoever. No contestant shall
receive training for this contest other

ers regularly employed by the board.
The admission to the contest will be 25
cents, reserved seats 35 cents. A gold
medal will be presented to the winner
in each division of the contest. We
! trust the “Little Kingdom” will have
some one who will bring back these
medals. Here’s to Black Hawk, Neva
daville, Russell, and our own boys and
girls, and may the best one win.
The base ball boys have been getting
some good practice in spite of the cold
weather. Dave Murphy and “Kelly”
| make a battery that will make the
butchers think they are up against the
! pure food act. Long John on first can
shoot them down to second so fast they
I whistle like a steam calliope, Omera on
I second and “Doc” Matthews on third
[ have a hypnotic influence on base run
ners which is only relieved by the um
pire saying “you’re out!” Dan Murphy
on short is the whole works and the
field is one big bar’l. The team that
starts out to clean up the high school
will get sixty days. Selah.
Mr. Keath, an ex-Kansas state nor
mal student and schoolmate of Supt.
Momyer, visited the high school on
Monday.
Mrs. McCarger was an interested vis
itor at the informal literary program on
Friday afternoon.
The butchers and the Central City
high school base bail team will cross
bats at City park next Wednesday af
ternoon. This will be a game for blood
on the butchers’ part—and well worth
witnessing.
Mrs. Stephens of Pine street, enter
tained a few friends at luncheon Tues
day evening.
Mrs. F. N. Comfort was operated on
at the St. Joseph’s hospital in Denver
last week for cancer. The operation
was successfully performed and the
patient is improving.
That the old Turner Hall on Gregory
street will once more become a place of
amusement and public gatherings will
be cheerful news to the old as well as
the young people of this county. A
home pool of business men has been or
ganized who will see this proposition
through. It is the intention of the pool
to conduct a roller skating rink. A new
edge floor will be laid over the old one,
and as the old floor rests solid on the
ground it will make just the thing for a
roller rink. The old stage in the hall is
to be taken out and will also be widened
twelve feet. When completed this will
make the Interior 50x60 feet. The rink
will be open to the public on Saturday,
March 28th, and an invitation to tho
entire county is extended. This hall
for years was used by the Turn
verein societies of thia city and of Den
ver for their exhibitions. It has also
been the scene of many other gather
ings of the different societies of the
county, so therefore the opening of thia
hall once more will be good new* to all.
