A Missouri exchange thus bids fare
we'll to Il departed citizen: "He was a
man of push. He played marbles for
keeps when a boy and cheated his play
mates out of their alleys; he snapped a
bladeless knife sight unseen for a four
blader, sold that for fifty cents, bought
q pound of sugar and some lemons and
made q barrel of lemonade. which he
sold on circus day for So. He started
in business and sold chuck meat for
choice cuts. and made a fortune. When
he got $1,000 he organized a company
with 100000 capital, mostly water,
and sold the stock at par, and when the
company burst it was found that he had
sold out some time before. When he
died he was a millionaire and left it all
here. It is warm where he is now"
He pushed things so damnably well
That he pushed himself clean into hell;
That's just what Is In store for those
Who on their fell0w-men impose.

Beet Pulp As Food

A bulletin will be issued very
shortly by Professor Carlyle of the
state experiment station on the re
suit of the feeding experiment OF
last winter Extensive tests were
made last winter, and cattlemen in
general are anxious to learn the re
suit.
The bulletin will be one of the
most interesting and important ever
established in Colorado, and will
bring out some facts in relation to
the feeding value of alfalfa, corn
and beet pulp, never before discov-
cred.
The experiment shows that it took
2S.G pounds of alfalfa hay to pro
duce one pound of gain in the aver
age 2-year-old steer. 1t will show
that S.25 pounds of beet pulp equals
one pound of hay in feeding value,
and that three pounds of hay is equal
to one pound of corn in feeding value.
In the experiment the ration ol
alfalfa, corn and pulp produced 3
pounds of gain per week in the av-
erage steer. Those fed pulp and
hay made an average gain of about
10 pounds. The hay and corn ra-
tion made a gain of about p =
pounds per week, and on hay alone
the gain was 10 pounds each per
week. Alfalfa and pulp was the
most profitable ration. - Denver

Bound Over

Yesterday afternoon ole Errick-
son was arraigned before Judge Swe-
ney. charged with horse stealing.
Henry Beuman, the complaining
witness, swore that Erickson had
worked for him during the winter
at his ranch in the Plateau canon
and that on April Is he let him have
the mules, wagons, harness and 9TH
er property to come to Grand June
ton to try his luck at teaming. He
made repeated attempts to commun-
icate with Erickson, but was unable
to do so. and learned this week that
Erickson had sold the outfit to
Messrs. Schroth and Fisher.
Several witnesses for the prosecu-
tion were placed on the stand, but
Erickson. the defendant, was not
introduced.
Judge Sweeney overruled a motion
made by the attorney for the de-
fense to dismiss Erickson on the
ground that no strong evidence had
been introduced against him.
The judge then took the case un-
der consideration, announcing that
he would render his decision at 10
am. today. and at that hour the
court stated that in his opinion the
evidence was sufficient to hold Err
rickson, and he was bound over to
await the action of the district court.
Bond was fixed at $500. which he
was unable to give, and consequently
he was sent to jail.
