Attention, Veteransl

All Confederate soldiers are urged
to be present on the 2sth inst, TO
effect the organization Of a camp Of
Confederate Veterans. 1t is the
intention of the Elizabeth Harris
Chapter, Daughters of the Confed-
eracy, to serve refreshments free to
every veteran at that time in honor
OF the occasion. The members OF
this chapter have been anxious TO
bestow the Cross of Honor upon de
serving soldiers and have endeavored
to arouse some interest in regard TO
the cross, but the honor does not
seem TO he coveted by the loyal sons
OF the South in this county.
Remember the date set for the Or
ganization and let every veteran in
the county, ifpossible' be present
that day. 1t is hoped that General
Ballantyne, commander OF the Flori.
da veterans, will be present and
assist in the work of organization.

Pickett and Rosell.

S. C. Pickett, the dairyman, has
a renter named Martin Resell. Last
Tuesday it is claimed Rosell called
Pickett liar. Pickett. it is said,
tried to disprove it with the broken
handle of a pitchfork. Rosell brought
evidence to bear, in the form of
threats to lambsteak Pickett.
That was the end of round one.
Next day Rosell went to Evans
and swore out warrant for Pickett,
charging assault. AT the same time
Pickett swore out warrant for
Rosell in Justice Wizards court.
Both men have now been brought
into court, and it is question OF
which can win his case first.

A Great Big Will

County Court Clerk l. l. Sides is
busy recording the will of Daniel
Wells, Jr., the Milwaukee million
iare who died couple of years ago.
The will when copied will cover 35
typewriter pages of one of the
large court record books. The reason
for the recording of the will here
is that Wells owned quarter section
of land near Erie that is supposed to
be coal bearing. If it is found that
there is no coal there, the land will
hardly pay the price of recording.
If it has coal it may be worth $4,000
or more. The property is all left in
trust until a daughter and grand
son of Mr.. Wells are both dead, and
it is still to be held in trust for
nineteen years after that. AS the
grandson is only about 10 years old.
the trustees are fairly we'll assured
of a life income from the admins
tratlon of the property.

The Betting Ring.

While a mans willingness to
wager on future events does not
always prove his superior Judgment
and ability to pick winner. yet 1t
demonstrates his belief that he is OH
the winning side. A few weeks ago
there was money galore among local
betting men who were anxious to
place it on Peabody, Churchill and
Florance. Hardly travelling man
came to Greeley but was ready to
.'aash wad'' that Governor Peabody
would be reelected, and so sure were
they of results that odds of $40 to 81,
i'm hundreds, were freely offered and
no takers.
Rut after the state democratic
convention Peabody money was sought
and some found, but previous offers
soon dwindled into nothingness, then
odds were asked, until Monday when
the last offer made by the opposition
was $50 to 800, and last night that
was refused. This shows that the
hackers of Governor Peabody are OH
the run. And not travelling man
has word to say about betting when
he comes to Greeley,
So far as Churchill is concerned no
one has yet proved his belief III
Churchill's election as to be willing
to place dollar on the result, within
the past two weeks. But one court
house official with great air OF
know it ALL" is telling democratic
friends mot to bet dollar on Clay
ton as he will be defeated" yet this
person would snap up chance 10
bet OH his favorite if it was sure
thing"
Much mouth betting is being IN
dulped in by ''would-be sports, but
when an offer is made they generally
dodge the question. AS the case
stood last night. no Peabody, Church-
i'll or Florance money was in sight'
while opposition money was In EVIL

PLAIN TOLD TALES
Rousing Democratic Meeting At
Eaton Saturday Night.

There was a rousinR democratic
meeting at Eaton Saturday night.
Every seat in the hall was occupied
and the walls were lined with men,
so interested that they stood up for
nearly two hours without showing
signs of fatigue. 1t was a minor
duplication of the great rally that
Governor Adams and Congressman
Shafroth In this city two weeks ago,
when men stood for nearly three
hours to hear plain truths. Harry
T. O'Connor of Eaton opened the
meeting with a fine address and he
was followed by Judge Bennett, Sen
ator Clayton and Charles F. Tew of
this city. The speeches we're to the
point and created strong Impressions
and much enthusiasm. While Judge
Bennett was talking he took occas-
ion to mention the story being cir
culated by certain persons of this
city that charged Senator Clayton
and Mr.. Tew with political perfidy
toward him during the session of the
democratic state convention in Den
yer. He said that he never.. believed
the story, but to satisfy friends he
went to Denver and interviewed
Milton Smith and other prominent
democrats on the subject and that
from information received he is now
positive there is not one particle OF
truth in the statement that Senator
CLAYTON and MIR. Tew were the means
of preventing his nomination for
governor.
The meeting was the opposite OF
the republican rally held in Eaton
the night before; mass of earnest,
sober citizens, compared to the gang
| of drunken rowdies who disgusted
the decent men and women of their
own party, and was an insult to the
Hon. Robert w. Bonynge and his
party. who were in attendance.

A LIE NAILED
NO TRUTH IN STORY cIRcU-

Letters from Judge Christian A.
Bennett and Milton Smith
Tell Right Story to
Our Readers

The fore part of last week the fol-
lowing story was started and circu-
lated by Churchill men, and particu-
larly by friends of Fred Williams,
the present undersheriff of Weld
county:
That on the opening day Of the
recent democratic state conven-
tion, held In Denver, it was under
stood that the Hons. Charles ].
Hughes, Jr., Alva Adams and John
F. Shafroth had positively refused to
allow their names to be presented
in the convention for the nomination
of governors; that Milton Smith,
chairman of the democratic state
central committee, with other prom
inent democrats of Denver and the
state at large, feeling it imperative
to place in nomination the best pos
sible man for that honorable office,
met in executive session and after
thoroughly discussing the situation,
Mr.. Smith turned to Senator Clatyon
and C. F. Tew of this city and said.
Gentleman. now Is your chance to
nominate Judge Bennett for governor.
He is the best available man for the
Office and we can nominate him and
elect him. . 80 -~.------ '-----------.-a
That Messrs. Clayton and Tew i'm
mediately responded, saying, I'VE do
not want Bennett to get the nominal
tiou. We are bitterly opposed to
Bennett and would rather any other
man in Colorado get the nomina-
tion.
Charles +. Tew. chairman of the
Weld county democratic committee,
on hearing that this lie was being
circulated broadcast, investigated
and interviewed a large number OF
democrats who believed the lie and
were justitably angry at the indig-
nity thrust on Judge Bennett. After
few days canvass Mr.. Tew believed
that Frank Madden, district court
clerk under Judge Bennett, was
either the instigator of the story, or
that he was most prominent in Its
circulation: and he Immediately
wrote a letter to Judge Bennett at
Boulder. and to the Hon. Milton
Smith at Denver, in which he told
all he knew of the story's being cir
culated in and about Greeley.
The following responses speak 1oi
themselves and brand the story as an
unqualified lie:
