FIRE IN HOME OF E.D. KELLER DOES CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE

A Breckenridge fire starting from a defective flu in the home of E.D. Keller at about 10 p.m. Friday morning did considerable to the building.

The fire was discovered shortly after it started, and the fire department was on the ground in a few moments but before the water could be brought into play the entire upstairs was blazing. Citizens worked unceasingly to remove the furniture from the burning building, the work being made very difficult by the dense smoke clouds which filled the rooms.

Although slight damage was done to the lower floor, Mr. Keller says he does not think he will attempt to repair the building. He wishes to thank the fire department and citizens who aided in putting out the fire.

UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO PROFESSOR DIES IN STORM

Dr. Randolph and Ellett left Boulder Friday afternoon for the North Arapahoe peak and the western slope of the continental range.

They desired to get some pictures of winter scenes and to duplicate the feat of a group of students who made the ascent about three weeks ago. They were warned against the trip because of storm conditions. They spent Friday night at the Adair cabin two miles west of Eldora.

From the information that Mr. Adams, a local trapper, could gain from Ellett the two men were caught in the Arapahoe pass and spent Saturday night in a “pup” tent. In returning Sunday they lost their way and wandered over the mountains until dark, when they again pitched tent. Dr. Randolph was nearly exhausted and died some time in the night.

Ellett started down the canyon and met Adams about halfway between the Fourth of July mine and the Adams cabin. The trapped game Ellett the keys to his cabin and went to locate the body of Dr. Randolph. He found the body around 9:45 a.m. Adams estimated the man had been dead for hours.
