Christmas Migration Of the skaggses
tt ,ugh st, Louis. Mo.


Mrs. George Skaggs passed through
the station last night with her fam
lily, en- route from her home, near
Huntsdale, Mo-, to the home of her
father, at Pollard, KY, says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat. The family
consisted of Mrs. Skaggs and ten child
rem, the eldest of whom was IS and
the youngest 3 years old. She stated
that she had three other children be-
sides the string which accompanied
her, but that they were married and
Settled down" out west Mrs. Skasgs
said that she was married twenty-five
years ago. and that year ago her
husband died. She continued to work
the farm with the aid Of her offspring
and they managed to keep the place
in a prosperous condition. She said
that she had not heard from her IA
ther directly for several years. and as
christmas was coming on" she
thought she would go over and spend
the holidays with the old folks. The
children, when placed in a row, look
like stair steps. The big bustling crowd
at the station and the changing Of the
train bells and screeching of the
whistles greatly excited the children.
and whenever a new sound greeted
their cara the youngsters would begin
to cry. II Mrs. Skaggs moved from
one part Of the station to the other the
entire tribe of Skaggs moved after her.
Between their moving around and their
crying the attention of everybody in
the main waiting room was attracted
and the Skaggs family was the cyno-
sure of all eyes. Mrs. Skaggs said she
was going to surprise the old folks,
rs they did not know how many chill
dren she had. and there would be a
great Christmas gathering at her old
homestead. The last. heard of the
family was when the engine pulling
the Louisville q Nashville train
whistled for the cross-over switch and
a. the screech died away . sound which
was easily recognized as the skaggs
chorus fioated back through the train
shed and died away amid the arches

Denver's police department evil
IDENTIFY needs a large shaking up
from the manner in which it is said
they nave been Shaking down
the criminals of the capital city
Police protection is an old story
and it is usually true. The guard
ians OF the law become guardians
of the criminal class. Captains OF
police earning four to five dollars
per day can swagger to the tune
of from twenty to Twenty-Five day
for daily expenses. To the unin-
initiated it looks that policemen are
created solely for the purpose ot
protecting saloons, for there they
spend most of their time. Here in
Grand Junction we believe there is
an ordinance that policemen while
on duty shall not be found in sa
looms but it is evidently dead
letter.
