an agreement among themselves for

Both Well Fitted.

j. f. Shook, who is candidate for
city clerk on the Citizens ticket has
had an enviable reputation during
his public career. During the years
he held the Office of county superin-
tendent of schools, he enjoyed the
name of being one of the ablest
men in his line in the state. There
can then be no question about his
ability to fill the office of city clerk
in an excellent way.
Eugene Williams, is candidate for
city marshal on the Citizens ticket.
His record in the sheritf's office of
Weld county Is above criticism. He
is in every way qualified to fill the
office he seeks.
Should the people Of the city
think it best that change In the
two offices mentioned he made. they
could find no two better prepared
men to fill them than the two
gent iemen spoken Of.

lake, the big reservoir down the
Platte last Friday by what was
thought to be an impending break in
the dam. A couple of weeks ago,
the water found hole under the dam

burrowing too close to the water.

washed through. Then caye-in oc-
Cured and effectively filled up the

The water continued to seep
through the embankment, as it does
on practically every reservoir of this
kind, and is not considered danger

the vicinity and owners of the res
ervoir became alarmed, and sent for
the state engineer. He suggested
certain repairs which were made, and
the whole thing is now considered
good as ever.

John Davie, a bonnie Scotchman,
and stone cutter thought he had a
grievance against Thomas Gibbeon,
for whom he formerly worked. Last
Saturday he took a large hammer, and
went over on Ninth street where Mr..
Gibbeon has considerable quantity
of sidewalk stone. Davie deliber-
ately knocked big corner of each
stone, enough to practically ruin the
lot. Within about a half hour he
was looking at the world from behind
the bars. He admitted to Marshal
Camp that he broke the stone and
gave as an excuse that Mr.. Gibbeon
owed him s3 and ne wanted to get
even. Mr.. Gibbeon says the money
was kept out of the mans wages to
cover board bill for which he Mr..

ATHLETIC MEET HERE
Brawny Young Men Coming to
Greeley Next Month

An athletic meet of the recently
organized Northern Colorado Inter.
Scholastic Athletic association, COM
posed of the High Schools of North
ern Colorado and Cheyenne, will be
held on the Normal School grounds,
April 20. Teams from Greeley, Fort
Collins. Loveland, Longmont, Eaton,
Cheyenne, and the Normal school
will compete.
The meet will have practically the
same events and be governed as far
as possible, by the same rules as the
state meet to be held in Boulder On
May l3. Several medals and trophy
cups will be hung up for the teams
to compete for and some hard and ex
cellent work is looked for. The Nor
NAL school will have pretty strong
team this year, while Loveland has
for several seasons had excellent
material. Cheyenne is also looked
for to show up strong. Lack Of
proper facilities for training more
than lack Of good material is going
to hamper the Greeley High School
team some but even these boys are
expected to make good showing.

A DOUBLE ATTEMPT
Would Be Assaulter Finally
Landed in Jail.

w. II. Fox, agent for the Levy &
Levin Mercantile company, Denver
liuuor house was arrested last Sunday
by Marshal Camp on complaint of the
fifteen years old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. A. l.. Evans. The COM
plaint which was filed later charges
attempted criminal assault.
Fox had met the girl before and
when he called at the house Satur-
day, ostensibly to sell patent medi-
cine he was also peddling, while
taking orders for Whiskey he was able
to induce her to take a ride with
him in his buggy. He discovered
that she wanted to go out to work
some place, unbeknown to her par

representation of Fox. that he knew
where she could tind just the right

into the wine room of one of the sa-
looms, telling the girl that it was a
ladies restaurant. He had beer
brought in and by this time the girls
suspicious were aroused. She refused
to drink, and then according to her
story he attempted an assault upon
her. She fought him off however,
and they returned to Greeley.
Sunday morning Fox again met
the girl, and under pretense OF being
conscious stricken over his acts of
the day before he again induced her
to enter the buggy with him. that
he might make due apologies. He
drove short distance to the country
and the girl says attempted another
assault. Reaching the city again
she complained to the marshal. who
shortly after found Fox on the
streets.
Fox was arranged before Justice
Willard. Tuesday morning and his
trial set for April 5. He was held
in $1,000 bail which he was unable to
furnish, so went to jail. Several
other charges are to be filed against
him.

Ind the Greeley sugar company will
put In a beet dump there during the
summer. The people also hope, that
when the beet sugar industry has
been fully developed in northern
Colorado, Platteville will have
sugar factory of her own. This lat
ter, however, Is only possibility.
But the country will develop along
the lines stated and any activity in
development of the country will
mean increased population, and that
will mean more business and growth
to the town. So the people have
wads Of Hope.
One crop the Plattevillians tried
last summer, that they will prob
ably never try again; cantalOupes.
Just say cantaloupes to farmer who
tried 1t last summer, and unless he
is in an unusually good humor, you
will probably have fight on your
hands. The crop didn't pay the pro-
motion fee.
Cucumbers have treated the farm
ers better than did cantaloupes, and
lots of these will be grown. The
Empson people maintain a salting
station there, said to be the largest
salting station that this company
has, so even capital has Hope.
As to present progress, there is
more going OH in the country about
than in the town itself. Eight or
ten new houses have been built in
the country since January l of this
year. In the town George f. Snider
is building neat little cottage that
will cost about $1,000. C. l.. Voll-
mar is putting up s4O0 barn, and
F. NJ. Gwynn will soon start the
erection of a sl, 600 house. This will
very likely he the irst house of the
kind ever built in Weld county. 1t
will be of pressed cement blocks, the
blocks so made that when put to-
gether they will form series of dead
air chambers or flues from the foun-
dation to the roof. Each Of these
tiues can be used for a chimney, and
should one become stopped up with
SCOT, he can simply drill hole into
the next block and connect his stove
pipe with another complete chimney.
Senator Clark's new house on Fifth
avenue, New York, famous for the
number of its chimneys will be only
a dog house compared to this one,
for fiueS.
Whether or not Platteville boasts
of a bank and newspaper, Is not
known, but it has them nevertheless,
and each seems to be doing fairly
good business in its respective line;
and last of all, the best view of the
mountains from any place in Weld
county can be secured at Platteville.

Barn and Horses Burned.

The barn and contents on the J.
w. Ewing place, formerly the j. B.
Cook place about nine miles east of
Greeley was burned to the ground,
the nlAy,t between last Wednesday
and Thursday. Among other things
lost were, a span of valuable horses
and team of mules. 1t is supposed
that the fire caught from sparks
from a fire that had been lighted in
a heap of rubbish during the after
noon and had not been thoroughly
extinguished. The house on the
place is occupied by MIR. and Mrs.
Albert Harper.

All the Beets Wanted.

The Greeley Sugar company has
stopped taking contracts for beet
acreage. They now have ., 100 acres
contracted for next seasons run, and
this It is considered will give every
ton of beets that the factory can
grind up during the five months
campaign.
The Windsor factory has $500
acres contracted, and the Eaton fac
tory has $500. Loveland has over
l3, 600 acres and Fort Collins some
thing like 10000. Longmont also has
q large acreage, said to be over 1000.

BOND VOTERS
LIST OF ONE THOUSAND TAX
PAYERS IN GREELEY
Only Those with Names on Tax
Roll Have a Voice in
Bond Issue for
Water

The city election will be held next
Tuesday, wnen the question of a
new water supply and new city
hall for Greeley will be decided.
During the past few days a little
more interest in the water question
has been shown and people are be-
ginning to sit up and take notice.
1t has looked for some time as
though the vote upon the water bond
issue would be favorable. but still
it is not easy to predict what the
outcome will be. Should some def
mite opposition to the plan develop,
which is not unlikely, and a few
people determined to defeat the
project hustle out all the voters that
could be found against it, the re-
suit would likely be the uefeat Of
the bond issue.
The list of tax payers eligible to
vote upon the bond issue will be
within very few of LOCO. AS there
is but little politics in the election,
and the candidates upon both the
Citizens and Republican tickets are
generally satisfactory to everybody.
but little interest is going to be ia
ken in the election. 1t is not be-
yond reason to estimate that fully
one third of the LOCO will not come
out to vote at all. Should the east
side people vote almost solidly
against the project. there would at
least be 100 votes from that side OF
the town against it. In the out
skirts of the city in other directions
something of the same sentiment may
develop, if it has not already been
developed, that will call out another
couple hundred votes, which will be
bringing things uncomfortably close
for friends of water.
On the regular election there are
about ,, 26O voters eligible to cast
their ballots and il is not expected
that more than about two-thirds OF
these will turn out,
The Greeley tribune., 1905-03-30

money for 1t, and have much more
trouble In getting 1t. 1t is not good
economy to buy in the necessity
market.
Finally 1t has been urged by some
of the residents OF the newer sections
of the town, that they have not re-
ceived just portion Of the present
water supply. and therefore they do
not wish to support the movement
or more water. The logic of this
arguments just the other way. The
Oldest portions of the town, both by
the lay of the land and by the fact
that they we're developed and i'm
proved first to an exent to justify
the laying Of system Of mains,
must Of necessity have greater ben
eft of the present short supply. 1t
Is because the new sections are new
that they suffer first from deficiency
of water-and the more the deficiency
grows, the worse it must become for
the newer sections. The residents
of the newer parts of the town are
the ones who should most desire a
full supply of water. There seems
to have been no willful discrimina-
tion on the part of those in author
ity; there has been no further
argument In the matter than that it
Is hardly wise to lay new mains
when the old ones can't be filled.
The best hope of the residents Of
the newer sections, is to get all pos
slble water to the town and then
demand their just share.
Because, then, the issue of bonds
for an abundant supply Of soft water
is cheaper both for the present and
for the future, because we need more
water and can't count on indefinite
ly increasing the cost of pumping.
because our present supply may be-
come poisonous before very long, and
because we must have water in order
to do justice to all parts of our town.
because of all these facts we urge
upon all citizens to vote for the
water bonds.
We wish to add word upon the
advisability of those who have a
right to vote, looking up their tax
receipts and going to the polls all
prepared to vote. Moreover, it is
very desirable that every legal voter
vote in this election. We have a
very important matter before us, and
it is only right that the officers
whom we intrust to carry out our
will in the business, be thoroughly
assured of the opinion of the full
citizenship.
