PASSING OF BRIGHTsIDE.

Ralph Field of Brightside home
notoriety has given up trying to live
and work ON the subscriptions of char
itably disposed persons in Denver. and
with three boys left for the original
colony SO glowingly pictured by
Fields paper, and so pitifully de-
scriped by the daily papers of various
times, has gone to California. For
several weeks Field has been solicit
ING subscriptions to enable him to
take his little family to the Pacific
coast. where he hopes to recover from
recent paralytic stroke and to pub
lish paper for boys. The farm of
800 acres, neglected and scraggly,
looking anything but its name of
''Brightside' during the past two
years and the Investigations of the
Humane society and the state board
of charities did not tend to increase
public confidence in it's management.
Subscriptions have been few and far
between SO that there is nothing for
Mr.. Field to do but seek new pas
lures.
The Field work began in 1901. and
so long as it was conducted on a
strictly philanthropic basis. won the
cordial support of men and women of
means. Those giving the largest do
nations wished to have the money ex
pended in a practical way, and pro-
posed to Mr.. Field that there should
be supervising board of three pat
rons working with him. To this the
self elected philanthropist objected
strenuously and persistently until the
support of even the most enthusiastic
friends was lost. At the last Field
weakened and asked that the old
workers come back on their own con-
ditions. but it was too late. The
Central Trust company was allowed
to absorb the land on its mortgage of
$40, 600. The buildings of the Bright
side home stand desolate and empty. -

reported today that the condition of

expected. Inquiry showed that there
is no reason for expecting the death
Of Mrs. Grant at this time, but she is
gradually yielding to old age and it's
infirmities.
When Mrs. Grant returned from
her summer outing at Coburg, Cana
da. she had to be carried from the
train to her carriage. Since then she
has been confined to the house all the
time, spending nearly all of each day
in bed and slowly growing weaker.
She is almost totally blind and her
only form of amusement is to have
someone read aloud to her. Most of
her time is thus spent. lying in bed
and listening to h9r companion read

IDENTIFY are we'll acquainted with this
section of the county and also about

sort of game, perhaps robbery or
something worse. They go to the old

those people to whom they are relat-
