&. Is. Parsons Attempted Suicide
A despatch to thei Denver Republi-
can from Montrose, under date of
August 3, contains the following ac-
count OF an attempt to commit sui
eide by Charles II. Parsons, a former
teacher in the Julesburg schools
After leaving Julesburg in the sum-
mer of 1903 Parsons went to Eaton and
worked in the sugar factory there.
While living in that town his first
wife obtained a divorce from him.
The wife mentioned in the following
despatah is Parsons second wife,
whom he married some time after his
first wife secured divorce. The des-
patch in the Republican follows.
Charles Il. Parsons, school teacher
from Colona, who came here Wednes-
day to attend the normal institute, at
tempted to commit suicide in his room
In the Belvidere hotel this afternoon
at 4o'clock by shooting himself with a
revolver. He shot :hree times, hut
only one bullet took effect, striking
him In the chest two inches below the
right nipple.
The bullet followed a rib for four
inches and then emerged and entered
the wall. Physicians were called and
dressed the wound, which they do not
consider serious.
Parsons is a young man 90 years of
age. He was married recently to q
young girl who was pupil of his and
it is said that they have had trouble,
he being OF a jealous disposition. Sew
eral times, it is said, lie has threatened

get a divorce, and when he heard Of
it the attempt upon his life resulted.
He bad been engaged to teach the

Arrested For Selling Liquor

John Doe, colored waiter on a
Union Pacific dining car was arrested
last night by Marshals Collier aud
Boyce, assisted by Sheriff Arnold and
Deputy Sheriff Marshal, on war
rant charging him with selling liquor
within the town of Sterling without a
license. His mode OF dispensing the
fiery liquid was through the window
on the farther side of the car, where
anyone calling his attention could be
accommodated.
The walters on the diners have for
some time been under suspicion by the
local police force, and when they
boarded the train last night, armed
with warrant, they caught Mr.. Doe
in the very act. A lively tussle cnsu-
ed but he was hustled off the train and
jewelry known, as '"bracelets," was
placed his wrists and ankles, and he
was escorted to the county Jail. On
reaching the Jail he refused to enter
the cell assigned to him, but after a
little persuasion on the part OF those
who had him in charge, he was safely
tucked away for the night. His case
came up for hearing before Justice
Patterson this morning, and he was
fined $4,000 aud COSTS Sterling Dem

A Splendid Ranch Property

ouc vi lHc UcSu FduCu pIOpcIUleS III
Sedgwick county is that of Kelley
Brothers, located eight miles southeast
Of Jnlesourg. The nucleus OF this
ranch-960 acres of as fine upland as
can be found in Colorado-was pur-
chased four years ago by w. j. and
d. j. Kelley, of Beloit, Wisconsin.
Since that time the Messers Kelley
have added to their holdings until
they now own 1900 acres, besides con-
trolling by lease and occupancy about
5000 additional acres. All OF this
tract is practically under fence, and
that part of it used for grazing pur.
poses is divided into two pastures, one
for summer, the other for winter graz
ing. Five windmi!ls, reinforced by
large storage tanks, furnish ample
water for ! 900 head of stock.
Several varieties Of grasses grow on
this land, the baffalo grass predomi-
mating. These grasses alone furnish
feed for stock the year round, but the
present owners do not depend entirely
upon the range for winter feed for
their stock. They came from cOun-
try where it is necessary to shelter
and feed stock during the winter
months and each year they raise suifi-
cient feed for double the amount OF
stock they usually keep. This feed
consists of corn, rye and hay, the hay
being cut from their winter pasture.
Their crops this year will be larger
and better than they have ever before
raised, and besides forage for 1000
head of stock, they will be able to
market $500 bushels of corn, grown
on 10 acres; I, 500 bushels of rye, grown
on 90 acres, and 800 bushels OF potatoes,
the product OF acres. They have 40
acres sown to millet which will yield
100 tons.
Last Friday afternoon the editor Of
The Grit-Advocate visited the Kelley
ranch and was shown over the proper
ty by the senior member uf the firm.
To say that we were surprised at the
big rye and corn fields, and the splen-
did grass that covers the cattle ranges,
is putting it mildly. We have been
in many different states--in 10.
calities where the rainfall is sufficient
to grow crops, and in localities where
irrigation is requircd-but in nune
did we ever see more luxuriant fields
of grain than we saw last Friday on
the Kelley ranch. We do not believe
that any person in the county--those
in the iraigated district not excepted
can show better fields than these.
The Messers Kelley are now run
ming ON their ranges about 500 cattle
and 100 horses. The cattle are mostly
3 and year old steers, and are now
fat enough for mlrket. They will,
however, lot be sold for two months
yet, when it is expected they will
weigh OH an average l4G0 pounds.
Their horses range In age from one to
five years, and are well bred, large
boned animals. These will be broken
to harness and fitted for the eastern
markets.
The Messers Kelley have made
money since they came to Colorado.
More than that they have demonstrat-
ed the fact that crops can be raised
each year on the divide, provided a
man knows how to farm and is not
afraid to work. What they have done,
oehers can do, and as soon as this fact
is realized generally, divide lands will
advance In price.

Jacob Roudebush was in from his
ranch east of Chappell Monday feeling
unusually we'll over crop prospects.
Mr.. Roudcbush informs US that he has
eighty-fve acres of as fine wheat as he
ever raised and that all other crops are
looking fine. The wheat above refer
red>to will reasonably yield thirty to
thirty five bushels to the acre, but to
be on the safe side will say that it on
ly yields twenty five bushels per acre.
which at present prices would make Il
cash return from the land OF $3.50

owner. Is there anything better than
