"Who's Got My Hat?"

Several weeks ago N. w. Hall
acted as juror In county court case
and when dismissed he found that
some one had taken his hat, leaving
another in its stead. Repeated in-
uuiries failed to locate the missing
headgear and he gave up the quest.
Sunday evening Mr.. and Mrs. Camp
visited the Halls, with Mr.. Camp
wearing the long lost hat. An ex-
change was then made, but Mr.. Camp
would like to know who changed
with him and when the exchange
was made. He was not near the
court house when Mr.. Hall was act
ing as juror and he feels confident
that some man with q similar hat
recently took his in mistake. He Is
now roaming the streets plaintively
crying out ''Who's got my hat?"

MATRONS AND MAIDS
Make Merry at Home of Mrs. A.
W. Durkee Last Week.

There are times when women pre-
fer to foregather with themselves in
social entertainment. Such meetings
are derisively called by the male sex
''hen parties,' but the epithet is
only an effort to hide the chagrin
felt bv fathers, husbands, lovers and
brothers when they are thrust out to
flock by themselves. 1t is laborea
effort ct cheap wit, for they know the
feminine congregation has good
things to eat, and the average man
loves his stomach IS we'll as he loves
his wife-and more 90, sometimes.
One afternoon last week Mrs. A.
W. Durkee corralled near fifty
matrons and maids within her par
lors and the time was passed at high
five. 1t was q scene Of festivity and
during the exciting periods 1t strong
ly resembled a Chicago wheat pit
when holders are being hard hit and
the market is in a feverish furry;
then again it was as decorous as
Sunday school class OF course there
was a prize for the best, and unluck-
lest player, and this tended to add
interest to the game. The winner Of
the first prize was Mrs. E. j. Decker
and Mrs Levin captured the second
prize.
Then the players, handsome danes
and beauteous maids, partook OF a
dainty supper that not only refreshed
the partakers but gladdened them
And during Its discussion all heartily
iopied in social chit chat, which
made 1T the most pleasant part of
the gathering.
Those present were: Mesdames
Hayes, f. c Smith, Horne, Gill
Nusbaum, Fiske, MuIford, W. Q.
Wilson, Statler, Harris, Robie,
King, Stockover, Jackson, Edwards,

Dinner at the Halls.

Friday evening the N. w. Hall
home was . scene Of festivity and
quiet comfort. A 8 o'clock dinner
was given in honor Of Mr.. and MIS-
Ludie Warner, Jr., aud the hours
were passed In pleasing conversation
of the days xone BY. for all who sat
at the hospitable board have been on
terms of intimacy for years. The
table was garnished with trailing
'arbutus and asparagus ferns while on
all sides many-colored asters raised
their modest graceful heads. Ihe
menu was perfect and the guests
did perfect justice to the hostess
cuisine. Those present, besides the
guests of honor, were Mr.. and Mrs.
J. II. Woolf and Mr.. and MIS-
Rothschild.

The Base Ball Case.

The case of the city against the
several members OF the Greeley Reds
for playing bail on Sunday was tried
In Judge Wizards court last Thurs
day. The complaint in two counts
charged the defendants with viola.
tion OF Two city ordinances, the first
ren1ering it unlawful to give or hold
q theatrical performance or other ex-
hibition in the city on Sunday, and
the second being against any person
by loud and unusual noises causingssa
disturbance of the peace of neigh
borhood.
At the conclusion of the evidence
for the city the defendants moved
for non-suit and to discharge the
defendants. On this motion the
case as a legal battle was fought, the
argument continuing most OF the
day, Charles f. Tew centending that
the defendants should be discharged
because the disturbance at the game,
II any was, resulted from acts of par
ties other than the defendants; and
on the other charge that base hall
game was not an exhibition with
IN the meaning of the city ordinance
against ''theatricals and other exhi-
billions. - Former Senator j. W.
McCreery and G. D. Todd ably con-
tended the contrary.
Judge Willard in his ruling said
that although his sympathy was with
the prosecution, under the many
authorities cited he felt constrained
to discharge all the defendants on all
the charges. Mr.. McCreery prayed
an appeal on behalf of the city, but
it is thought that the prosecution
will be dropped, as the time granted
to make an appeal, five DAYS, expired
Monday, and no appeal was filed.

An Old Settler.

On the range about Pierce lives
perhaps the largest coyote in Colo
RADIO, and her depredations among
fowls and small stock are becoming
the talk among farmers living along
the edge of the range. In size, it is
said to resemble young calf ana it
is IS regardless of danger to Its own
ski. Is though IL might be head Of
stock. Frequently it will come near
enough to houses so that the farmers
will throw stones at it to keep 1t
from raiding the chicken coops or
lamb pens.
Recently a Tribune man happened
to be up in that country and stopped
at the home of Charles F. Pixler.
Just across the road and not 200 yards
from the house ne saw the beast
hanging around bunch Of cattle
grazing along the road. When he
came within hundred feet or so OF
where the animal was keeping watch
OF young calf it troIted away
slowly to a short distance and then
lay down in field of wheat stubble
and watched until the man had
passed. Later when Mr.. PlXler had
been asked regarding the tameness
of the coyote he stated that it had
simply become reckless. evidently
from its size. He had himself fire.
quently thrown stones at 1t to drive
it away from the premises.
The animal looks more like big
gray timber wolf than a coyote, and
the skin, which will no doubt be
taken one of these days, will make
handsome rug. The country out
there Is thoroughly overrun by coy
otes, big and small, and good days
sport is promised any party who Will
organize hunt for the animals.

In small monthly payments, there is
nothing better than shares Of stock
In the Greeley Building a I'd Loan as
ISOLATION. Should shareholder wish
to leave the association after having
paid in for few months or years, he
can do so upon payment of 81 for
every $500 OF stock he owns, and re.
ceive back all he has paid in with six
per cent interest for the time his
money has been invested. The
officers OF the Greeley association re-
ceive no salary except the secretary,
who receives but few dollars
month.
The Tribune makes this writenp
of worthy Greeley Institution, that
Its readers who want to borrow
money to build homes may know how
to get 1t, and need not be bilked by
any OF the numerous alleged Home
builders associations, whose agents
visit Greeley more or less frequently

A POOR SHOT
MARSHAL CAMP FIRES AT
ALLEGED FORGER.
Several Business Men Bilked by
Bogus Checks-Suspect in
the County Jail.

AT this season of the year the
countryside is well populated with
strange men who are employed in
the harvesting of potatoes and sugar
beets. They come and go contin-
ually, some working but few days,
while Others remain for weeks, or
till all crops are harvested. AS they
leave, the farmer gives them the
amount of their hire by check and as
many OF them reach town after bank
ing hours, the business houses cash
them. There is not fall but what
some merchant, hotel or restaurant
man GETS caught for sums from IS up,
yet the field is ever free for some
smooth scoundrel to work and the
business of uttering forged checks
goes merrily on. In the language Of
Gimme Fadden, ''Will de blokes
never tumble?"
Friday night man dressed like a
day laborer bilked severa! business
houses IN Eaton with checks for var
ious amounts -totaling between 800
and sl5O-and signed by E. K.
Packard, well known farmer and
sheep feeder OF that vicinity. Sat
urday morning the man, with a
chum, went to Pat Brewington's
livery, hired rig and left for Gree
ley. Shortly after this it was found
out that the checks were forgertes
and Marshal Camp was 'phoned aud
partial description Of the forger
given. Camp mounted his wheel
and went looking for the man. He
was traced to Albert howard's
dairy rancn, but when the marshal
got there he had left for Greeley.
Camp was soon in hot pursuit and
overhauled the buggy on Sixth street.
He ordered the driver to halt and
get out, which he did. but when he
struck the street he started on q run.
The the marshal pulled his revolver
and shot at the escaping man twice.
He was not hit, but at the second
shot he stopped right quick, held up
his hands and surrendered.
He was brought to the city hall
and searched and s94. Is was found in
his pockets. He roasted Camp quite
hard as being a poor shot, but that
officer was satisfied and he declares
the fellow was well frightened,
though the bullets went wide OF
their mark. Ihe man gave his
name as f. Fl. Cooper, is about 80
years old, weighs 1876 pounds, is of
medium complexion, has blue eyes
and brown hair. That he is not a
laboring man is proved by his hands,
winch are soft and white, not the
kind shown by men who labor flom
day to day.
Cooper was handed over to the
Eaton authorities and he was ar
raiened in Justice Gault's court, but
waving examination he was re-
manded to the county Jail to await
the district court.

A Greeley Relic.

George Swadley, a '59er whose
home is near Arvada, will within a
few days present the State Historical
society with log from a cabin occu-
pied by Horace Greeley IN May, 1859.
Mr.. Swadley bought the cabin In 1850,
and he learned at that time that
Greeley had slept in it during the
latter part of May, 1859. The cabin
was removed to Swadley's ranch and
was later sold, but Swadley retained
the log, which he has decided TO
present to the society. 1t is about
ten feet long and six inches through,
and is hewn fiat on two sides.

COMMISSION'SAWARD
Mine OAicials at Wilkesbarre Sat-
isfled at the Findings.
COMPANIES FIGURING MEMS BONUS.
President Mitchell. OF the United Mine
Workers, Also Declares His Satisfaction
ct the Anthracite Goal Strike
Commission's Report

Wilkesbarre, Pa, March 23.--Local
mine officials in and about this city
were seen yesterday in reference to
the mine commission award, but
nearly all declined to make any COM
ment, The manner in which they ex-
press themselves, however, would in
dicate that they are satisfied or at
least willing to abide by the find
ings and carry out its provisions.
An official Of the largest corporation
said the award was practical vindi-
cation of the coal companies, that
the ten per cent. and reduction of
hours to the fremen was practically
conceded. He said the report and
the review Of the coal mining condi-
tions will be Of great ultimate good,
that violence and boycotts have been
denounced in no unmistakable Ian
guage and that peace and normal
conditions would prevail in this re-
gion for the next three years at
least.
All the local company officials
will put their clerks at work to-day
to figure up the bonus to each en-
ploye under the award granting ten
per cent. increase on wages earned
since November /.
The Lehigh Valley company has in
its employ $4,000 men and major
ity of them will receive from $25 to
$50 each. The miners also made good
wages since the strike ended and will
profit by the award to the extent OF
from $40 to $50 each on percentage.
The Miners' President Pleased.
Detroit, Mich, March 23.-"The de-
cision of the anthracite coal strike
commission is on the whole a decided
victory for the miners, and ! am
pleased with It," said President John
Mitchell, of the United Mine Work
ers of America, in an interview. "The
anthracite miners of Pennsylvania
have reason to be much pleased with
the commissions awards, and ! am
sure that they are"
"The most important feature of
the awards" he continued, sis, OF
course, the increase of ten per cent.
given the miners. This will result
in an annual increase in the wages
of 100000 anthracite miners OF Penn
sylvania Of $6,Oo0,o0O. The sliding
scale provided for by the commission
is very satisfactory, inasmuch as
minimum of $3.50 a ton Is fixed. With
white ash coal at $3.50 ton at tide
water, the increase provided in the
sliding scale win be equivalent to
20 per cent. more on the miners
wages"
RAfter the increase Of wages given
the miners" said Mr.. Mitchell, "the
most important awards from the
miners standpoint are the ones fix
ing a nine-hour day and providing
for a board Of conciliation, The
award gives a nine-hour day with ten
hours pay directly to 10000, and
practically all Of the other employees
of the anthracite mines will get
nine-hour day by reason OF their
comrades shorter hours"
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1903-03-26

the award OF the strike commiss,oh
The sentiment that prevailed was
that the award gave. the miners the
privilege Of summoning the new
board Of coneiliation which is speci-
fed in the award and asking for the
weighing Of coal. The men seemed
to be satisfied with everything else
and they believe the commission has
left the coal weighing question in q
position where it can be taken up
and adjusted between the men and
their employers. No definite action
was taken, the miners present con
cluding to reserve their decision un-
til they receive a full official copy OF
the award and secure the opinion OF
their national officers.
