BADGER FIGHTS AT COLBY.

Citizens OF That Town Indulge a Pug
naciOus Game.
For years the quiet town Of Colby has
earned for itself an envable record in
the way Of righteousness Its people
have discomfitted the offenders Of law
and order and even put to fight the very
sentiment Of GOdlessness. But it is now
feared that this fair and holy city is fast
surrendering its good name and is put
ting on "the filthy rags and giving of
the unsavory aroma of evil deeds.
They are INDUCING in badger fights
and report has it thattwo ofthese bloody
spectacles have taken place there with
in the last week. All the store buildings
in Colby are not occupied and the lsrg-
est OF the vacant ones is used for this
unsightly diversion. They are always
looking for game and when a travelling
man comes their-Eay he is made to
know that a badger fight has been got
ten up in his honor and, as a guest OF
that sport loving folk, is allowed to pull
the string that ushers in grim visaged
war.
BY the time the hour for the fight has
arrived the building is crowded with
people, even the street is filled with old
and young, who, not being able to gain
admittance, stand IN the street to hear
the glad reclamation as the dog or bad.
ger lays his victim low.
A 12-fOot ring in the center Of the
room is enclosed with perpendicu
lar boards three feet high. An ugly dog
is put into the ring and, under box, in
the ring also is the badger. The box i,
provided with a hanging trap door, and
as the referee counts one, two, three, the
travelling man is to jerk the badger
through the trap door and the bloody
fight Is on
Now he jerks. Instantly he stands
blanched and cOnfounded-a victim o
hurrahs and ieers Of the crowd, for tn,
jerk Of the cord brought tumbling to TIT
floor the silly glare of a white china
chamber-and they all smoked.
Shame on Colby fer thus panhandlin.

GOAL OF THREE RAILWAYS.
Neck and Neck Race With Denver
as the Objective Point.
Missouri Pacific, santa Re and Frisco to
Build Direct Lines 20 Colorado Capitol
Extension OF the Central Branch
would Pass Through GOOdIand-

Three Of the largest railroad cOTPOr-
atoms in the country are in a neck and
neck race, with Denver as the goal
Recently there was an official snnoun-
cement that the Missouri Pacific was 70
extend its central line to that city.
The Santa F'e system officially anuoun-
ced its intention Of connecting Galveston
with Albuquerque, and thence north
west.
Last week the Frisco system began
work on the extension Of one Of their
lines from Oklahoma to Denver.
The prophecies that the large systems
Of this country must soon realize that
Denver was a factor in the railway
world are coming to pass. And It seems
that haste is the burning issue. The
coming summer will see a railroad race
that will pass into the annals Of history.
Forced into the position they are taking,
the roads will lose no time to secure all
the advantages that come to those who
are first on the ground where bitter
fighting is to occur.
Within the past few days notice was
given that the Missouri Pacific road was
transferring its departmental purchasing
agents from St. Louis 70 Kansas City.
The reason given was that the changes
Of the system had made that city the
center of the roads they owned. Then
that the road would build its Central
Branch into Denver. By the Frisco
line there will be an air line to New
Orleans. By the Missouri Pacific an air
line and a shorter road to New York city.
The Santa Fe viii make an air line to
Galveston.
The plan Of the Missouri Pacific is to
make direct route from the terminal Of
its Central Branch at Lenora, Kan,
across the plains to Denver. That
makes an air line to Kansas City, and
from there this road has the Wabash
system to New York and by means Of
the other terminals arranged by the
Goulds at Philadelphia and Baltimore,
an outlet on the Atlantic seaboard.
The Central Branch is the road acquired
from the Union Pacific when that road
was reOrganized.
The reason for all the opposition that
the MOffat road had is becoming appar-
ent. True 70 the predictions of the
wise ones, this line has forced the issue
with the larger roads, and realizing that
the inevitable had come now, they are
all making a race for Colorado by means
Of the shortest routes that they can take.
The decision Of Mr.. MOffat to keep his
road independent for the most good
that may come to Colorado is apparent
In the event Of the building Of the
Missouri Pacific air line from LenOra, a
town in the south part of Norton county,
to Denver, GOOdland viii In all proba-
bility get another road, as this town is
directly in line between those two places.
1t has long been the belief Of many
GOOdland people that sooner or later
another road would be pushed through
here on its way to Denver. The Lenors
extension has been talked Of before, but
now it seems as though talk is TO be
superseded by work.

BEST CROP PROSPECT IN YEARS
The Signs Of the Times Point to
a Prosperous Year.
Abundance OF Moisture and Hard Winter
Stimulating observation-disclosures
Beginning to Appreciate the
Value of Their Farms.

The biggest snow in Sherman county
for years is falling. 1t began Monday
night and has continued up to the time
Of going to press-Thursday
The severe cold Of a week ago
has abated but the weather has brought
IN its place an abundance of snow and
the grazing Of cattle is entirely out OF
the question. Everywhere in Sherman
county the grass lies under at least
foot of heavy snow and the cattle
without feed will have hard time of it
AS for the agricultural outlook for
this year, it never was better. The
ground has been thoroughly frozen and
is now wet to a considerable depth.
Farmers who have lived here for years
say that if a moderate amount of rain
comes during the crop growing season
Sherman, county will surprise the people
with a general crop yield.
That Sherman county is absolutely a
cattle country and nothing more is hard
" true. The man who has a limited
number Of cattle and takes advantage Of
favorable agricultural conditions, and
puts in a crop then, will make the most
in the long run. There are some old res
idents who still declare that agriculture
will always be a factor with the farmers
of this county.
Be this as it may. Everybody is en-
Unused at the outlook and already the
farming population are entertaining the
idea of putting out large acreage in
wheat, barley, rye and other crops.
Merchants and business men are offer
ing to furnish farmers seed grain on
shares. The longest headed men-men
who have studied and observed the rela-
ton Of climatic conditions to agriculture
in this county, are in for putting out a
liberal acreage to grain.
Farmers that have turned their backs
upon Sherman will sooner or later re-
pent-perhaPs when it is too late. Where
on earth can they go and realize greater
profit on limited means than here 1t
takes large amount of money to buy
eastern farms. Many Of them are rented
and the renter comes at last to feel like
a stranger in a strange land. The best
thing a Sherman county farmer can do
is to hang on to his land. Failure in
times past has Eot been so much the
fault of the country as our failure to CO
operate with natural conditions.
Sherman county is alright, and the
rising generating will live to see the day
when prosperity and contentment viii
encompass the land.

sURIAL OF MRS. WALKER.
Funeral Services Held in same Room
Where she was Married.

Where She Was Married.
The remains OF Mrs William Walker
were laid to rest in a vault IN the Gene
terry at Manchester, Iowa, Friday.
]. y. FIke, Of Colby, joined Mr.. Walk
er and daughter. Laurene, and made the
trip with them 70 the old home. When
they arrived at Manchester a large
crowd Of Mrs. Walkers friends and rel
atives met them at the depot. S. A.
Steadman, an uncle Of Mrs Walker had
made all necessary arrangements for the
interment having had a vault prepared
for the final resting place Of the de-
ceased.
Preparatory Othe final rites the body
was placed in the same room on the
same spot where, - years ago, she and
Mr.. Walker had stood when they were
married.
Floral offerings PrOfuss and beautiful
were placed on the cssket by her towns
people. The final separation Of wife
and mother from husband and daughter
was pathetic il the extreme. The ties
that bind hardest are invisible, and the
putting away in the cold and silent
tomb Of one 50 much beloved, 50 closely
knit by years OF loving service is
fraught with anguish too great for
speech OF tongue.
