Miss Maud Cannon in Red River
City, being one of a week-end party.
Tbe'Misses McGarrey, of Trinidad,
arc guests of Miss Maggie Gallagher
at the lower end of the valley. Miss
McGarvey is a finished musician of
much merit.
. The young people of the commun
ity gave Miss Maggie Gallagher a
surprise party Saturday night. It
was one of the good times for which
Elizabethtown is noted. It is to be
hoped that these occasions may oc
cur more frequently.
Mr. Wm. Mclntire, general man
ager of Mt. Baldy 'Deep Tunnel M.
& M. Co., received a severe electric
shock Monday. It occurred while
opening a wire gate during a rain
storm. The shock was so great that
it picked Mr. Mclntire up and threw
him upon his head to the ground.
His lower limbs and back are badly
affected, the former being still
numb.
These wire gates are truly danger
ous in times of electrical storms and
one should be cautious in opening
them. This particular gate will re
main open for awhile if Mr. Mclntire
has the closing of it. .

hearted John McGinnis gave a stray
iat welcome to his home, fed it, and
petted it. Two hours later the cat

but chased around the house at an
automobile pace until there was no
room for the family, who were ter
ror stricken at the thought of hydro
phobia. Chairs, tables, dishes, and
bric-a-brac sought the common level
of the floor, and when finally the cat
was killed the house looked as if a
tornado had entered it.

chair at 5:54 o'clock. He was ac
companied by Chaplain Jones.
Lauredio followed at 6:10 o'clock,
accompanied by Fathers Mahoncy
and Benedicto.
The two men spent a restless night
and were closely watched by the
guards. When led from their cells
to the death chamber they seemed
resigned and walked erect to the
chair.
Each man in turn was accompan
ied by his spiritual adviser.
Only the legal number of witnes
ses were present at the execution.
The apparatus attached to the
chair was carefully tested several
hours before the men were put . to
death, and it was in perfect working
order. The executions were con
ducted without a hitch.
The crimes for .which Charles
Henry Rogers and Angelo Lauredio
today paid the law's penalty were of
unusual brutality.
The crime by Rogers was one of
the most atrocious murders ever
committed in this state. Rogers
was convicted and sentenced to
dea'h for the triple murder of Fred

half before a letter written by him to
his brother in Middlcton led to his
capture.

DIAMONDS IN HER CHEESE.
Bloomfield, N. J., July 20. Fritz
Webir sold it cents worth of cheese
to a woman customer today. A few
hours later the woman returned to
the store and asked Weber if he had
lost a diamond ring. lie replied that
he had not, for he never owned one.
The woman then produced a ring
set with three glistening gems, which
she said she had found imbedded in
the cheese he had sold her. She was
happy when told that the grocer did
not own her find, which, she said,
would enable her to take a needed
vacation.
It is believed the ring, which is
valued at $1,000 was dropped into
the cheese at the factory. Weber
could not be induced to .rrive the
name of his lucky woman customer.
