“ROSS WARE’S RELIC

 Mr. Ross Ware, of E. B. Harbour & Co’s, has
an interesting curiosity that will always
awaken memories of an exciting
experience. While traveling
through Colorado recently, a fragment
from a pinnacle 3000 feet above
the flying passenger train became detached
and rolled down the canyon
with terrific force. It struck the
coach directly over the young Paducahan’s
head, and crushed through
the roof, but remained imbedded
there. Mr. Ware reached up, loosened
it from its setting, and took undisputed
possession of it. He is now
showing it to his friends and telling
how it happened.”
