Frank Burgess, well known in Rocky
Ford, was killed by Santa Fe train at
Pueblo last Sunday. Mr.. Burgess made
his home with Mrs. Wilson in Pueblo
and was en- route to the station to meet
her daughter, Mrs. h. Bowman of Rocky
Ford. The Chieftain says that when
he arrived at the Santa Fe crossing near
the Pueblo smelter he heard the train
coming and probably thinking he could
catch it as il passed, and thus get to the
depot, attempted it and was thrown un-
der the cars. There were no eye Witness
es 80 that just how the accident occurred
can not be learned. He was taken to the
Woman's hospital where he died a few
hours after being injured. Mr.. Burgess
has for some time made his home with
Henry Bowman near this place and at
one time ran the barber shop owned by
B. B. Smith. He bore an excellent repu-
tation and had many friends in Rocky
Ford. = So,

Improvements are the order of the

AMONG THE FARMERS.

WIN. Auckland of Olney was over al
the Ford Wednesday to deliver 46 fat
steers to G. M. Ripple OF Larned, KS,
and took home with him check for
S1190,40. Mr.. Auckland's farm operations
are quite extensive, about $1,000 being
handled during year.
The Colorado Land and Water Co.
of Ordway has furnished yet more proof
Of the adaptability of the Arkansas val
ley to the growth of potatoes, Their
crop this year turned out 10000 pounds
of most excellent potatoes per acre. Pre-
vious to planting the ground was plowed
to the depth of II inches. The soil was
in good condition when the seed was
planted and the field had but one irriga-
ton during the season. The potatoes
have been sold at 80 cents per 100 pounds,
making the returns $50 per acre, which
beats wheat growing by several hundred
per cent. Mr.. Hodge informs us that the
company will next year plant potatoes
largely, plowing under alfalfa for a por-
ton OF the crop. This is one crop which
our farmers have neglected but which
should have more attention, as potatoes
are destined to become one Of the lead
ing sources of profit to the farmers of
this section.

CHINESE WERE TO BLAME.
Soldiers Disguised as Japanese Com
mitted Those Terrible Atrocities.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE japanese
legation today received advIces regarding
the atrocities by Chinese soldiers at the
fall OF PortArthur, from their governm~ mt.
The dispatch says the government is not
yet In possession OF the full facts in the
case, but has aScertained that many Chi
nese soldiers, both at Port Arthur and
those who came from the outlying fortifi.
cations, were taken by the japanese SOL
diers who discovered their uniforms. and
it is now certain they we're In disguise.
OThe Chinese Inhabitants presumably
in a majority Of Port Arthur, left before
the engagement, tn ugh few remained,
having been armed and ordered TO resist
the japanese and to fire upon them.
This they did and in the confusion of
the fight, it was impossible to distinguish
them from Chinese soldiers
The japanese army on entering Port
Arthur, was greatly excited by the sight
OF the fearfulIy mutilated bodies of their
comrades, some of whom had been burned
alive and some were crucifed.
Notwithstanding this, the discipline of
the army was maintained. A number of
Chinese prisoners were taken ana were
kindly treated. The wounded who could
be moved are on their way to Toxic and
will arrive in few days.
