He Is Expanding.

NJ. H. Spere, formerly of Greeley,
now general manager Of The Wray
(Colo Telephone company, was in
Greeley for a few hours Monday on
business. Mr. Spere has been ex
panding in the telephone business
since he was here. He has fran
chises In five counties, Yuma and
Washington in Colorado: Bundy,
Nebraksa; Cheyenne and Rawlins,
Kansas. he had built an iudepend-
ent line from Wray, Colo, to st.
Francis, Kan, and is now extending
this line to Atwood. Kan. That
will give his company at Wray COM
mun'cation with Kansas City and st.
Joseph, Mo-, by independent lines.
A line is also being constructed from
Wray to Yuma and to Brush. The
line to Yuma will he completed
within month and the entire dis
tance to Brush will be finished by
January 1. Branch lines are also
being constructed to cover pIac.
tically the entire country in the five
counties mentioned.
When Mr.. Spere first went to Wray
there was a small company with a
few independent phones. 1t was
from this nucleus that he built up
the present company, through which
he expects to connect a considerable
portion of northern Colorado with
points as far east as the Missouri
river. The Stromberg- Carlson phone
and switch board is being used.

banking hours he took the infant on
to the street and went in quest OF
the parents. Up and down the side

called into Robie & McCutcheon' s

Thrown from Horse.

George Houston had narrow es-
cape last Sunday from a ser,ons acci-
ident by being thrown from his horse
on Ninth avenue just west Of the
water tank on Main street. The
horse took fright suddeny, causing
Mr.. Houston to lose one stirrup.. He
was carrying package in one hand
and therefore had but one hand and
one foot with which to save himself
when the horse whirled about sud-
denly. He was thrown off and struck
the fence at the end of the park.
After few minutes Mr.. Houston
was assisted to mount his horse again
and was able to ride home. Barring
soreness from the bruises he was all
right again the next day.

"Eoxv Grandpa"

A musical farce comedy built upon
tn. comic pictures of the Sunday
newspapers, entitled Foxy Grand
pa" was the attraction at the Gree
ley opera house last Saturday even
ing. While Foxy and the boys held
the center Of the stage for good
share of the time and entertained the
audience we'll whenever there, they
were by no means the whole show.
There was also large chorus OF men
and women who could sing somewhat
better ttan the average chorus and
could look a whole lot prettier IN
new and handsome costumes. Joseph
Hart. who took the role OF the gay
and foxy old grandfather, was the
hub around which the whole wheel
turned, and in his comedy was easily
the star OF the organization.

Thursday, November II, 1908.
WIND ON A FROLIC
Made Things Hum and Sing
Sunday Evening.

The windstorm Sunday evening
was the nearest approach to hurri-
cane that has been experienced here
in long time. While the actual
damage done will not be enormous,
a great deal Of work was necessary TO
replace things turned over or moved
by the wind. The cleaning up OF
houses and buildings where every
thing was covered with sand and
dust has also peen a heavy task.
Hardly any door or window fitted
tight enough to keep ont the dirt.
One window in the Opera House
block was broken and several awnings
were torn from their fastenings and
rent into shreds.
The greatest danger to the city
was from possible fires. There were
no less than three alarms OF fire
turned in during the evening. The
only one OF these that bid fair to be-
come serious was caused from flue
burning out in house on Ninth
aveune The spark from this set fire
to manure pile back of Prof. Hays
barn. The fire department went up
there bus before they arrived the fire
had been extinguished.
A pile Of leaves caught fire at the
corner of Eighth avenue and Sixth
street from some hot ashes and in a
minute the burning leaves were flying
and rolling down the street, threat
ening to sp.ead conhagration all over
the town. A few buckets OF water,
however, settled the matter. An
other affair of the same kind was
started in another part OF the city
and an alarm was sent in to the city
hall. Marshal Camp Informed them
that unless of absolute necessity he
did not want to send the fire depart
ment out again. The FIRE was evil
dently extinguished, as nothing more
was heard from that section. In the
course of the evening the wind
played odd pranks with the leaves
and rubbish. The wind came from
the northwest most Of the time, but
would occasionally take tack and
come in at an exactly opposite direc-
tion, sending a pile of leaves that it
had just deposited flying back up the
street like bunch of school hoys out
for recess. When the wind finally
stopped blowing, the park and every
yard on the south and east sides oil
streets and avenues had been thor
oughly swept of leaves. And by the
same operation the yards on north
and west sides OF streets and avenues
had been more thoroughly covered
than ever. On Main street the
leaves were piled up on the sidewalks
to depth of several inches and
many Of the merchants had to shovel
them away in order to open their
doors. On the south side of the
street there was hardly a leaf TO be
found. The merchants were finally
given permission by Mayor Watson
to nurn the leaves in the cutters OF
the oiain streets, as to haul them
away would have been an all-day job
with teams.

East Lynne"

The play East Lynne seems to
become more popular with age. One
would think that after the number
of wears it has been on the boards
that every man, woman and child in
the country would have seen it at
least twice and have become thor
ougiy tired of it. But they have
not. as was evidenced by the large
audience that witnessed the play in
the Greeley opera house last Thurs
day evening. 1t was all of the old
pathos presented by capable COM
pany, headed by Miss Inez Forman.
A new sprinkllrg of comedy has also
heen added. But there are more
tears than laughter in East Lynne
and that seems to be the secret Of It's
stability.
