tribution in few days. Tho book will
be an improvement on former issues, one
chief addition to it's appearance being a
handsomely engraved cover especially de-
signed for it by J. B. Sherley, the expert

tural and stock interests of the valley are
encouraged by the same liberal premiums

ious year. The Fair will be held Sept.
9th, 9Th, and 7th, Thursday Sept. 9Th,
being the date fixed for the great free
Watermelon Feast, when all Colorado is
invited to be present and partake OF the

that the Arkansas Valley will have su-
perior crops of all kinds this season and
that the Fair and Watermelon Day will
surpass the successes Of former years. g.

ley Fair Association, will take pleasure

ply.

THURSDAY. MAY 81, 1894.

The Cripple Greek miners, who have
been the cause of the recent bloodshed
in that camp, deserve the condemnation
and not the sympathy Of the public.
They are offered $3 per day for n,ne
hours work. This they not only refus.,
but by force of arms and intimidation
have for months prevented others work
ing at that liberal price. The striking
union miners demand So for eight hours
work and bring Winchesters into use to
force the mine owners to pay that price,
when hundreds Of men are anxious to
work nine hours for that sum. Such
folly in these times Of universal deprees-
ion and scarcity Of work is not easy to
comprehend. It shows that the power
Of an industrial union can be as arbi.
trrry, unjust and cruel as that Of capital.
istic monopoly.

Yesterday Rocky Ford proved
to be in line with the patriotic
sentiment of the nation which
makes much of Decoration Day,
with its lessons of devotion to the
country and the Gag. About 10
O'Clock the members Of Wadsworth
Post G.. A. r. and Sons of Veter.
ans, assembled at the Post hall,
from whence started the process
sion in the following order.
Martial music, G. A. R., Sons oi
Veterans, decorated wagon with
fower-bearers, followed by long
line of citizens in carriages. Ar
irving at the cemetery the Post
camp, girls and boys with flowers
formed in a hollow square around
the grave of Henry Hornback, the
only Union soldier buried here,
when the Post gave the usual rit-
ualistic services, during which the
girls and boys bearing flowers
decorated the grave Of Henry
Hornback, and also the graves Of
Moore and Miller, Confederates.
After services by the chaplain,
the singing of our national hymn,
and the Sons of Veterans salute tc
the dead, the assemblage was dis
missed with the benediction by
Rev. II. r. Antes.
In the afternoon the M. e.
church was fairly filed with old
soldiers and citizens. After relig-
ious services by the Post and sew
eral songs by the choir the ad.
dress of the day was delivered by
Rev. D. L. RAIDER of Pueblo. He
spoke of the foundation Of the re-
public and the causes leading up
to the war. Many incidents Of the
war, both affecting and amusing
were given. The members of tile
@. A. r. were warmly commended
for their work in the past, and the
present troublous condition of the
country mentioned as evidence
that other great problems were to
be settled. We should have a re-
public in finance as well as a re-
public in citizenship. An elo-
quent tribute to the memory Of
Abraham Lincoln. The address
closed by an appeal to the g. A.
r. to enlist as members of the
Grand Army of the Lord.
Throughout the program was
creditable to patriotism of our
people, who very generally united
in the Observance of the day.

Conductor Woods Shot at La Ja,ta

Friday morning last those Of our citi-
zens who were up to see the proverbial
bird catch the early worm were excited by
the sight of officers armed with Winches-
ters. Under-aherif Gemmell and deputy
marshall Nixon were here in search Of
the negro who shot Conductor Joe Woods
at La Junta the previous midnight. On
arriving at La Junta from the south
Conductor Woods examined the sealed
over TO the yardmaster, One car was
found with broken seal and in which
were riding three colored tramps. The
conductor attempted to close the door
with view Of holding the intruders for
arrest Before the door was completely
closed, says the Advertiser Forum, ono
OF the negroes pulled 40 cahber revol-
er and compelled Mr.. Woods TO let him
out Upon reaching the ground the
negro who had the revolver made grab
for Woods watch and chain. Mr. Woods
the would-be hold up with his lantern,
but missed him and struck telegraph
pole, smashing the lantern. By some
unaccountable means, Mr.. Woods stumb-
led and fell to the ground. While lying
on the ground, the negro fred one shot.
Tho bullet entered the PROSTATE mans
left ide about half way above the hip,
taking an upward course, and ts presum-
cd to have lodged somewhere beneath
the left shoulder blade.
The negroes DISAPPEARED and Mr..
Woods was taken to the hospital where
his wound was found to be severe but
most probably not fatal. Two negroes
are now in jail who confess to being in
the car but say that the man who did the
shooting was stranger to them.
Since the above was in type, Under
sheriff Gemmil has returned from Pueb-
10 with negro named Henry Benford,
whom Conductor Woods positively iden-
titles as the man who did the shooting.

Twas more than three decades ago
A long, long time away
That we were jolly boys in blue,
Now we are boys in gray.
A poet-friend has said Of you:
"He's on the craft that sails
In glowing seas Of constant youth,
Where boyhood never fails"
So at the end Of many years
Along Life's rugged way,
The blue has mingled with the skies
And we are boys in gray.
The true and brave Of all the hosts
That wore the Blue and Gray,
And fought for what they deemed the
right,
Arc done with war to-day.
The rosy, round -limbed Queen OF Peact
Has broken Wars array:
His hosts, disarmed, are silver-haired,
And all are boys in gray.
