Application for the incorporation of
the town of North Longmont was filed
August Goth with the secretary of state
The town is in Boulder county and
heretofore has been a part of Long
mont. Recently the town went Prohi-
bition, and this did not suit some of
the inhabitants of the city. So forty
eight of them made application for the
new town Of North Longmont. in which
there is population of 148. The mat
ter was taken into the courts and the
court appointed Charles r. Dutro, Mary
e. Dow, ]. M. Richman, Julia Talman
and w. r. Duncan to be a committee
to hold the election for the officers OF
the town, on the first Tuesday in Sep
tember.
The State Land Board has granted
the request OF r. B. Overhold. presi-
dent of the Maybelle Ditch Company.
for an opportunity to purchase forty
acres under the ditch in Routt county
The land will be auctioned and Mr..
Overhold will probably buy it in at the
sale. When the big ditch was built. it
was with the understanding that each
stockholder should have an opportun-
ity to purchase forty acres for a home
stead. Mr.. Overhold is president of the
company that built the ditch. Every
other man obtained his portion of land
except Mr.. Overhold, however. and he
has been trying to get his for some
time. A long inspection of the records
was necessary before the sale could be
ordered.

a client who owns n sword belonging to
the man whose name is linked with the
early history of Colorado. As Pike was

lieved that It is a memento altogether
worth having. And the society will
probably purchase 1t II the price Is
