The fourth of July tloings at Du-
shore were witnessed by large
concourse Of people. 1t being
estimated that there were twelve
hundred on the grounds. The
horse racing however, was not up
to the standard and was disap-
pointment to us all. There were
two races-one in the morning and
one in the afternoon. The ii a. m.
was the best of the two, notwith-
standing the fact that both horses
entered were owned by one individu.
al. This made betting a certainty,
providing you were IN with the
Jockeys, and we understand that
several Dushore parties took adj
vantage Of the opportunity and
doubled their money. The color of
the horses entered were black and
bay. The black was considered
the fastest of the two by the on
lockers and evidently was. He was
allowed to win the first heat, which
did the purpose intended and made
betting lively. The bay won the
next two heats and the money
changed hands. 1t was evident
that the black horse was not made
to do its best in either of these heats.
Take our advice and never bet your
money on horse race.
The afternoon race was some
what of failure. 1t was like this /:
There were three horses entered.
One owned by Chas. Jackson or
said to have been owned by him,
one by B. W. Jennings Of Lopez and
one by Ambrose Farrell of Lopez.
The jackson horse won the first
heat. The second heat the Jackson
horse came in ahead, but the judges
claimed that there was unfair play
by Jackson and the heat was de-
clared off. This decision offended
Jackson and he refused to put his
horse on again. The other two
horses came on, however, and this
heat was won by the Farrell horse,
(Rena). At this juncture Mr.
Jennings entered the judges stand
and refused to allow his horse 10
make the last heat owing to exces-
sive heat. The judges then awarded
the prize 1928 to Rena.
The foot and bicycle races were
sandwiched between the trotting
heats and were very entertaining.
The foot race came first and the con-
testants, were; Brown of Bernice
and Hamer Of Dushore. The form.
er carried off the prize and did it
easily. The contestants in the
bicycle race wereI Marcus scure-
man, foreman of the Gazette and
Elmer Charlmer, both of Dushore.
Mark won, but they say that the
prize (s5.i was judiciously used in
running hack to Colley, and that
his opponent. Elmer shared the
good time OF the investment. equally
with the winner.
The dancing platform was literally
patronized aud also was the picnic
table. loo cream parlor etc. The re-
eeipts of the day were no doubt
very large.

Restrictions Not Removed.

The statement made in the Chieftain
to the effect that tho restrictive clause
had been removed from four lots with
in block Of the city hall, and that
couple OF saloons would be built forth
with is entirely without foundation.
Such areport has been circulating for
several weeks but no attention was
given to it and the rumor is not
strengthened by giving it publicity in
the Chieftain.
The INDICATOR took occasion to in
terview the local officers of the Colo
rado Coal and Iron Development Co. on
the subject, Messrs c. K. McHarg, O..
M. Ladd and j. L. Beaman, who gave a
flat denial to the report. These gentle
men stated that neither the G. F. &
]. Co. nor the G. +. & I. Co. have
considered the proposition OF removing
restrictions from any Bessemer property
and that the rumor concerning the
restrictive clause to the lots under dis
cussion was absolutely without founda-
tion. This positive denial should settle
the matter. They stated, however, that
1t is possible there are few lots in n
certain ten-scre tract out west OF the
city hall where the prohibitive measure
does not maintain. but if such is the
case it is very strange that such let's
were not discovered long ago.

Much exception is taken to the
ruling of County Judge Mitchell in
the case OF the Colorado Coal and
Iron Development Co. vs. the city Of
Bessemer in the matter of disin-
corporation, his construction of the
law being that he was to decide
simply whether or not the territory
sought to be Withdrawn came within
the limits of the law which requirs
that the tract of land shall be not
less thirty acres, and that it be un-
plated, etc. He construee the law
into meaning that his jurisdiction ex-
tended no farther; that it was not for
him to decide upon the merits Of the
case. AS the attorneys for the de-
fense well say, if this were all the
county records would decide the
matter without bringing it into court.
They will show the number of acres
In any tract of land and show
whether or not it be laid out in lots
and blocks. The admission Of Judge
Mitchell that the defense had a
strong case were not the intent Of
the law against them is a strong
pointer for the success Of an appeal.
The Judge simply ruled on what he
construed to be the meaning Of the
law and not on the merits Of the

GREAT Rock ISLAND ROUTE
TO THE EAST.
BEST DINING GAR SERVICE IN THE WORLD.

1907 S8tb-
hns the Chicago, Rock Island 4 Pacific Rail-
way run trains westward from Chicago.
The Rock Island Is foremost in adopting
any advantage calculated TO improve speed
and give that luxury, safety and comfori
that popular patronage demands. Its equip
ment is thoroughly complete with vestihuled
trains, magnificent dining cars, sleopers and
chairs coaches, all the most elegant, and OF
recently improved patterns
Faithful and capable management and
polite, honest service from employees are
important items. They arc double duty
to the Company and to travelers-nnd It is
mcnt Passengers on this line will lind little
cause for complaint on that ground,
The Importance of this Line can he better
understood If a short lesson in geography bt
now rccitcd.
What is the great Eastern termini of the
Rock Island Route?-Chicago. What othc,
sub Eastern termin has it?-Peoriu. To
what important points does it run trains to
she sn poMl ana NsinmsaEos sinnx
Dakota. To what Important Iowa and Ne
brnska points-Des Moincs. Davenport, Iowa
touch other Missouri River points?--Ycs; st
Joseph, Atchson, Leavcnworth and Kansas
city. Docs IL run trains tothe FOOTHILLS OF
the Rocky Mountains?-Ges; to Denver,
Colorado Springs and Pueblo, solid vcstibul-
ed from Chicago; can important cities o,
Route?-Yes; its capital city, Topekn' and n
full hundred Others in all directions in the
State, and 1t is the only road running TO and
the Cheyenne and Arapnhoe Reservation
1t will thus ge seen that n line tapping as
the Rock Island does, such varied territory,
has much in that regard TO commend it TO
travellers, as all connections are sure on the
Rock Island, and passengers can rely on n
speedy journey, as over n bulk of the system
through trains are run, and II has become.
and rightly too, the popular Line.
A very popular train on the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific Railway leaves Denyer,
Pueblo and Colorado Springs, daily. 1t is
called .The Worlds Fair Special" is one
day out, and passengers arrive at Chicago
early the second morning.
Tho Rock Island has become a popular
Colorado Line, and the train above referred
to is Nestibuled and carries the Rock Island

The action of the seven aldermen

The action of the seven aldermen
who signed the petition to the county
court praying that the steel works
might be taken out of the limits of
the city is absolutely unofficial and
being so it can have no weight should
the supreme court decide in favor of
the town in the lake suit. The
result of the latter case will deter
mine the former one, In other words
If the court holds that the lake
property shall not be dlsincorporated,
then the case of the steel works
against the city will be practically
thrown out and the steel works be
again within the city limits. The
action of the aldermen who signed
away the rights of the city lacks the
dignity of being done in meeting Of
the council, and being unofficial
carries no weight
