was dressed in the rich robes of the

Frank swink Gone Wrong Again.

Frank swink Gone Wrong Again.
Last Tuesday morning Senator Swink
missed from his bank book two checks
which he had received the day before.
He had excellent reasons for believing
that they were taken by Frank Swink,
his grandson. Frank was found snd de-
MED having the checks. A thorough
search Of his person and his room failed
TO discover the stolen papers. He was
warned that cashing them would get him
into the penitsntiary, but the next day
Frank got a livery rig and drove to La
Junta. He bought 80 worth Of goods
from the Golden Rule and rendered in
payment check for sl44 payable to g..
w. Swink but having his forged en-
dorsement on the back. The Golden
Rulo declined to take tho check and
Frank then went to the First National
bank to get the check cashed. He was
identified by County Clerk Gauger, who
also thought tho signature on the back
was genuine. On Franks return to
Rocky Ford Senator Swink searched him
and found a check for $50 and $40 Of
the money he had received from the bank.
He was turned over to Constable Meador
and is now in jail awaiting trial at the
next term Of the district court, having
plead guilty on tho preliminary e1amina-
ton.
Young Swink seems destined to bo a
criminal. About four years ago he was
sent to tho reform school for forging Sem
a IL Nhr.nt
form school proved a misnomer as far Us
Frank was concerned. Several times
during the past few months Mr.. Swink
has missed sums Of money which he is
confident Frank stole. Some valuable
papers which were missing were found in
his possession. When arrested he had n
number OF keys belonging to Mr.. Swink' 9
house as we'll as large number OF other
keys, showing that he was preparing to
raid other houses. Senator Swink and
Lorenzo Swink, his father, have used
their utmost efforts to reform the boy.
He has been liberally supplied with
spending money and encouraged to live
an honorable life. While not making
his home with Mr.. Swink he has Mt vari-
ous times entered his house during the
night and taken money in various
amounts. His entrance to the house
was made in shrewd and skilful ways
showing that he was quite expert in this
line Of making living.
Senator Swink and the father are to
be commended for letting the law take
its course. The young man seems deter
mined to lead an evil life. Such boy is
dangerous to have ut large in any COM
rlunity and his incarceration in the peni-
tentiary seems to be the only way to
protect society from his depredations.

Thanksgiving in Rocky Ford.

Thanksgiving Day, 1896, had one Of
the features of the first Thanksgiving by
the Puritans-it was cold, bleak day.
Those Of our citizens who came from
Iowa and Illinois were reminded of "the
Thanksgivings back east" Business
houses were practically closed and fami-
ly reunions were numerous.
The only public observance Of the day
was at the Presbyterian church, where q
fair congregation assembled at II o'clock
to listen to an able sermon by Rev. War
rem Mayo He said we should be thar k
full Tor life and for Gods care; thankful
that We live in the United States instead
Of Mexico, Spain or Africa. The com
forts which were enjoyed at the time OF
the first Thanksgiving were contrasted
with those in reach of the people of today,
showing much reason for our thankful.
ness. We should be thankful that sani-
tary science has reduced the death rate,
and thankful that we have stable gov
ernment. The speaker believed that ma
tional elections by ballot were provideu-
italy influenced for the good of the ma
ton. He deplored the abuse of candi-
dates and OF those in authority. We

the education and development Of the
young-all Of which are the result is Of
Christian civilization. We should be
thankful for an abundance Of good hter-
ature-healthful food for the mind and
spirit. As prosperity often ruins and
promotes selishness, we may properly
class adversely in the list of our Bless
ings. We should be thankful for the
possession of common sense and for all
religious impulses. If the heart Is fixed
on things more important than mere
earthly advancement one can rejoice
amidst Gdyersity. We should be thank
full that we are not subject to the despot-
ism of Russia nor the cruelty Of the
Turk, and that we enjoy religious free
dom.
At the close of the sermon collection
was taken for the benefit of the poor,
which was turned over to the W. 9. Il.
