Sensational reports may be wanted by
the Denver dailes bu; they do no good to
the localities throughout the state which
are risrepresented by the esaggera;ions.
Rocky Ford recently had an early fros,
which did much damage. but the losses
from which have been greatly magnised
beth by local and city papers. |, was
reported .ha; the fros; had made clean
sweep Of nc; only the ean,sloupes bu. the
tomatoes and all ether products. The
facts are that nothing was injured ex-
ecpt the cantaIoupcs and no. nearly all
Of them. Extensive shipments have been
made all this week Of the very fines, Of
eantaioupes. The tomato crop instead Of
being impaired by thefros; was improved.
The vines were slightly nipped and the
ripenininE Of the tomatoes thereby hast
ened. Instead Of wholesale destruction
Of the valleys products. no damage was
done e1eep: 70 a considerable portion Of
the late eantaloupe crop. Growers who
had only late fields will be heavy losers.
but then early shippers have received
profits in advance Of any former year.
Our citizens who know the true situation
do not take kindly 70 one Denver daily's

have promising future. No young city
in Colorado has q more substantial basis
for reliable. material prosperity than
Rocky Ford. This new bank is started
because shrewd business men properly
estimate Rocky Ford and the tributary
country. Rocky Ford is all right.

BOY SKIPS FROM HOME.
Boiling Robinson Leaves Arkansas
City Unceremoniously.

Arkansas City, June 2.-Billing Robin
son, the T-year-old son of Major W. H.
Robinson. has disappeared from his home
in this city, and all efforts on the part
of his father to bring any information
from him have failed. He was last seen
at home on Wednesday afternoon at 2
o'clock and it is learned that he was later
seen near the Frisco depot, playing in
some box cars. However, this story can
not ne substantiated and the father of the
boy has sent cards to the officers of the
neighboring towns, requesting them TO
look out for him, and Offering a reward
for any information that will lead to his
return.
The boy is causing his father much
worry. He is a great boy to fish and
would rather play on the river bank than
another place The major has fears that
he might have gone to the river and has
been drowned. Before leaving home the
boy told his sister that he believed he
would go to Chicago, where an older sis
ter is living. and she was a favorite with
her little brother. Little attention was
paid to this by the sister, as she regarded
it as a bOyish threat.
When the boy left home he WHO'RE
blue sweater and was barefooted. He
has black eyes and brown hair. He also
has two large upper teeth in front, with
a small space between them. His father
is very anxious to hear from him.

Man and Woman Charged With Rob-
bing Arkansas City Store.


Arkansas City, June 2-Some time Sun
day night a thief entered Holt Bros. store
and helped himself to anything that
struck his fancy. He gained an entrance
through a back window by removing the
glass. He unlocked the rear door and got
out without trouble.
This thief had a good time to do his
work, as there was not a light burning in
the store and the streets were very
quiet.
The store only misses a few articles.
but they are the very best carried. silk
underwear. fancy hose, and pair of IS
show that the thief was onto his job and
was looking for the best.
The robbery was discovered at daylight
Monday morning About o'clock the
bloodhounds were put on the track, but
adverse circumstances worked gainst the
dogs. The day wa SWEET and the dogs had
a very poor scent upon which to work.
However they traced the thief to the
Santa Fe depot and the ticket agent re-
membered that he sold two tickets TO a
negro man and woman for the $3.50 train,
to Wichita.
George McIntire was the officer who
went with the hounds, and as soon as
he saw their work and learned the cir
cumstances, he notified the Wichita po-
lice.
As soon as it was found that the thief
had gone TO Wichita, the officers at that
place were Hotifie dand arrested the negro
and the woman as they got off the train.
The negro is said to have had the shoes
on when arrested. City Marshal Lohman
went TO Wichita this noon to bring the
man and the woman bacl; for trial.

MARQUETTE AFTER COPPER.
People Believe That the Stuff Is Be
meath the Sod.

Marquette. Kan, June 2.-Considerable
whispering is going on around Marquette
just now anent the probability of some
kind of mineral find panning out there.
\ long time ago, some thirty years. in
fact. a man who used to live on a farm in
the hills northwest OF town. had an idea
there was valuable copper deposits there
abouts and had a number of fine speci-
raents of copper bearing rocks he found in
the hills.
Early last winter some fellow from
Joplin arrived in Marquette and leased the
mining rights on some of this land They
set up machinery and at once began to
sink q shaft The shaft is down about a
hundred feet now and the miners are
sending in specimens and receiving let
ters from assayers in ST. Louis every day
or two.
No one knows whether they have dis
covered anything of value or not The
fact that they are leasing mineral rights
on considerable surrounding land is con-
sidercd significant enough to make peo-
PIE begin TO wonder.
