Wanted a Divorce.

ccording to story from Johns
town NJ. Gomaro, a Mexican, and
his wife routed Justice Rickert out
of bed at midnight last Thursday
night and wanted divorce imme-
diately.
The couple disagreed several
weeks ago and Thursday night had
the final row. The woman wanted
to leave and take her belongings
with her. To the latter part of
this Gomaro objected, although he
was willing to have her go empty
handed. He therefore dragged her
into court bodily that he might Sc
cure legal separation.
Deputy District Attorney Ewing
was called up'here by Justice Rick
ert, who finally succeeded in making
the Mexican understand that divorce
was slower process than he was
trying to take.

HUNG UPON A CLIFF
Two Boys Have Thrilling Ex
perienee and Rescue

a story comes from Home, Colo,
of the narrow escape from death of
two boys who climbed to the top of
Cathedral Rock, just back of Zim-
merman's. The boys were Lucan
McCreery, son of Sheriff McCreery,
of Fort Collins and Gordon English,
also of Fort Collins. In the rescu-
ing party was A. j. Allen of Greeley.
McCreery, who is Is years of age,
and English, who is two years his
senior, have been camping on the
Poudre. Yesterday English sue
ceeded in scaling the steep side of
Cathedral rock opposite the thinner
man hotel When he descended
he said he would not undertake it
again for 81, 200, but this morning
he volunteered to take McCreery up
the rock. The two boys told no
one of their intention and started at
8 80 O'Clock.

HAD CLOSE CALL
Prisoner Nearly Lynched at Erie
Station

Sheriff Florance came within an
ace of seeing a real lynching at Erie
last Saturday shortly after he had
arrested John w. Maxim, on charge
Of assaulting George Mcdonald.
Florance and his prisoner were
waiting for the train to take them
to Greeley. Just as this pulled In,
John Marshal. an aged citizen Of
Erie stepped up and shook hands
with the sheriff. The latter then
started for the steps of the car with
his prisoner. AS they neared the
step Maxim hurried on ahead of the
sheriff as though to enter the car
first. Instead, however, OF doing
this he whirled around and quick as
q flash his right hand shot out and
struck Mr.. Marshal In the mouth.
The blood fairly spurted from mouth
and nose. Almost instantly the
crowd that was gathered at the depot
pounced upon the sheriff and his
prisoner, trying to secure control OF
the latter. Threats Of lynching
we're heard all around, and several
OF the men had ahold of Maxim, who
also fought hard against them.
Finally the sheriff succeeded in get
ting his man into the car, where
they were followed by several men,
bers of the crowd still bent on VEN
geance. At about this juncture the
city marshal Of Erie arrived and
threatened to send the whole crowd
to Jail If they did not desist.
Maxim was brought to Greeley
Saturday evening without further
trouble. He Will be tried Sept. 6'

Turned Detective.

DIR. Merritt B. Hook who was
wanted in Colorado Springs ON a
charge of bigamy was arrested in
Denver last week by Pat Hurley of
Fort Collins and turned over to the
Colorado Springs authorities. The
doctor drove over from Ault, where
he had been hiding out for short
time, and at Fort Collins sold his
fine horse and buggy to Hurley.
just after the doctor had pulled out
on the afternoon train the Colorado
Springs Official appeared on the scene
and Hurley thought he was out-his
money. He therefore asked the
sheriff of Larimer county for COM
mission as deputy that he might
hunt the supposed swindler. He
found the doctor in Denver the next
day, but also learned that the horse
sale was legitimate.

Peraltas Outbat and Outplay
Fast Denver Team

The Peraltas celebrated their re-
turn home by defeating the Colorado
Iron Works team Sunday afternoon,
by q score OF IL to 4. The feature
of the game was the hard hitting Of
the Greeley team, every man getting
a hit or more, in all Is being made.
Colgrove was in the box for Greeley
and did good work, the first six in
nings allowing only three hits, and
a total of six for the entire game.
The seventh inning the visitors got
three hits which netued them two
runs. Although the Peraltas had an
error or two to their discredit the
work of the team was good, several
sensational plays being pulled of.

Monkey Frightens Horse.

C. NJ. Baird of LaSalle has been
having more hard luck with his
horses of late than often fall to the
lot of man. = Last Saturday while in
Evans doing some trad ng, he lost a.
horse in an odd manner. The
O'Gradys of Evans have two or three
little monkeys that run about, more
or less tame. One of these jumped
into Mr.. Baird's buggy and from
there on the back of one CT the
horses. This frightened the horse
so that it broke the hitching strap
and ran against the corner of a
building and smashed the buggy to
kindling wood. Next it ran against
a tree and broke one front leg. 1t
was necessary to kill the animal.
Only few weeks ago Mr.. Baild's
team ran away near LaSalle and
threw Mrs. Baird out of the buggy
and injured her severely.

OUTLOOK NOT ROSY
Lamb Feeders Complaining of
High Prices

The outlook is not very roseate for
lamb feeders in northern Colorado,
according to the statement Of feeders
themselves, because of the high
price of lambs. While a consider
able number of contracts have been
made for stock, it is not believed
that there will be nearly so many
lambs fed here this season as last.
Feeders agree that IS to $3.50 Is
the limit that they can afford to pay
for lambs with the freight paid to
the river, and about all that can be
had at those figures are already con-
tratced. A few contracts are re-
ported up around So, and some pur-
chased by the head at $3.50 to $3.35
for choice Idaho and Wyoming stock.
1t is the general opinion among
feeders that prices are getting too
high to show safe margin for the
feeder. If present prices could be
depended upon for next spring in
the market, it would be safe enough,
but the sheep market has an un-
pleasant way of making sudden
drops without warming and the con-
seryative element is inclined to go
slow. Northern Colorado could
easily care for half a million lamps
this coming season, but those who
are on the inside estimate that 3O0,-
600 will be about the limit unless
there is decided change in quota
tions.
A few years ago the demand was
all for New Mexican lambs for the
feed lots. Experience, however, has
demonstrated that there Is more out
come to the northern lambs and thus
far contracts have been mostly for
Idaho and Wyoming lambs with
some from Utah. Quite a number
of feeders are figuring upon putting
in few cattle with the lambs us an
experiment. Alfalfa is ruling rather
higher than usual, some contracts
being reported around s6 per tom
and this is also factor In making
the feeders cautious this season.

HIGH PRICES SURE
Condition of Crops Indicate High
Cost of Living

Everything now points to an era
of high prices for living in Greeley
aud other parts of Colorado. Fruit
is going to be almost out of sight.
Peaches are exceedingly scarce, both
in this state and in all other parts
of the country. The California
Gamers utterly refuse to quote
prices on the canned goods, where
usually they are around about July l
to take orders for the winter stock
of canned peaches. AT present the
fruit is selling at S1.25 crate, and
even this price is likely to be raised
any day, If the supply does not give
out completely. The Grand juno
tion crop is almost failure and
that is where the entire state looks
for its supply.
Not alone is the peach crop fail
ure, but the tomato crop is likewise
out of the running. These are now
four cents pound right in the very
best time. That is not the worst of
it, but they can hardly be had at
any price.
Cucumbers too. are failure all
over the country, and there is but
very little cabbage. The Greeley
man who this year has good patch
of cabbage will be independent.
Cabbage is now selling at sl.25 a
hundred. while last year at this
time or little later 1T sold at %
cents hundred. Wilson Turner
has seven acres of the product that
it is estimated will bring him $4,000.
Within the past few days reports
from other sections OF the country
indicate that the potato crop is
much of failure in nearly all sec
tions, except Greeley. There will
not. according to these reports, be
more than two-thirds of crop.
That means that potatoes also will
be high. Meat products were never
known to be low, and at the rate
live stock is selling it will easily
keep up with the standard of high
prices,
Wheat, while much better than
last year will show no decrease in
price of flower, so that the trend Of
prices on every commodity is up

REAL WORK
HAS NOW BEEN COMMENCED
ON WATER WORKS
Engineer Kerlee and Force of
Men Now at Work in the
Poudre Canon Survey
Ing Ground

Actual work upon the new gravity
system of water works for Greeley
has been commenced, and force of
men in charge of Civil Engineer
o. r. Kerlee is now at work In the
Poudre canon surveying and pros
pecting for the best place for the in
take pipe. Consulting Engineer
George Anderson of Denver also pays
occasional visits to the place to give
advice in the matter.
A happy and inexpensive solution
of the water supply question has also
been found, and this is SO simple
that the wonder is it was never
thought of before. The city owns
stock in No. 3 ditch, equal to 46 feet
of water. The plan is to simply
transfer about six feet of this water
to the pipe line and thus save the
cuOlllO CApCuoC VI ouy AbS eAiO
water from some company that had
it for sale.
While this supply is good only
during the summer months it is be-
lieved by the councilmen that 1t
will not be hard to buy, rent or bor-
row enough water to supply the de-
.mand during the Winter. Only
about two feet of water will be re-
quired for the town during the win
ter, unless the same tactics are en-
ployed here as in Denver. Accord
ing to the statement of Engineer
Anderson there is more water used
in Denver during the month Of
February than any other month of
the year, because people leave their
faucets open to prevent freezing Of
the water pipes.
While all the work being done
now is only preliminary to ascertain
just where the proposition Is at, it
is hoped soon to have things in shape
so that the council can advertise for
bids for the construction.

Instead Of following the route
taken by English yesterday they
started up the edge Of the ravine
which runs down the center Of the
mountain. They succeeded in going
one-third of the way up, with Eng
lish in the lead, when they swung
too far to the left in climbing and
both found themselves on the side Of
the smooth cliff 30 feet high which
they could not ascend, nor could they
retrace their way.
English was five feet above Nc
Creery. He held his place ON the
rock by tlIrusting his toes in a
crevice on six inch ledge and hold
ing to the cliff with one hand. Nc
Creery had room on a ledge even
smaller, and clung to a shelf above
with both hands. They dared not
change their position for the rocks
on which they stood were slippery
with moss They remained in this
position for half an hour before they
succeeded in attracting the attention
OF couple walking in the valley
half mile away. The couple at
first thought the boys were shouting
for fun. They finally discovered,
however, that they were in distress
and calling for help.
1t was finally necessary to let
down ropes from the top of the rock
and haul the boys up with.

in the morning and asked for some
tobacco and as O'Donnell turned to
wait on the man the latter pulled a
gun and pointing 1t at o'Dohneii

A GALA TIME
IS WHAT GREELEY HAS
BEEN ENJOYING
Horse Races, Parades and Pic
MICS Galore-Harvest Fes-
tival a Large Success
Throughout

Greeley has had a real celebration,
with flags atiying, bupting entwined
about trees and porch posts, flowers,
parades and all that. 1t has been a
good celebration, too. with every
body having good time, both up
town and at the races, that were
really the excuse for the celebration
coming into existence.
The excitement began Tuesday
morning, when considerable num-
ber of strangers came into town for
the races. 1t Is still in progress be-
cause some of the best races are still
to come today.
A corker OF parade, probably the
best ever seen in Greeley, was given
yesterday forenoon. Nearly mile
of floats and display wagons, two
bands, the fire department, military
company and many other good things
were in line. Everybody seemed to
feel the spirit of the thing. 1t was
a Harvest Festival for sure.
The Races.
The races which opened here Tues
day afternoon were without doubt
the best ever seen in Greeley, and
three out OF the four events were
won by Greeley horses. A good sized
crowd saw the races and gave Pap"
Morgan and Archie Camp regular
oTations as the formers new trotter,
st. Elmo, took three straight heats,
and Archie Camps Due Hal did the
same trick in the 2:25 pace.
St. Elmo is the horse for which
Mr.. Morgan recently traded his
Hallina Morgan, receiving a good
lump sum in exchange. He claimed
then that he would make something
out of his new discovery, and he
demonstrated it. The little horse
went as steady as clockworks, and
not once during the three heats did
he lose his feet or his gait.
What could be said of st. Elmo
was equally true of Due Hal. He
quickly took the lead and lead the
field twice around the half mile
track doing his best mile in 2:2l Il.
William McCave's Little Nose
easily won the quarter mile dash
under saddle, making the quarter in
241a.
The half mile dash was won by
Saail, owned by Wallace Hallet of
Longmont.

harness races:
