During the latter part OF March, Jay
bros, ranchmen, near Palmer Lake, pur-
chased ~ odd head of horses from G. Il.
Clark, near Fort Morgan. Mr.. Clark de-
liNered them in few days across coun-
try. via Byers, kiowa and Elbert. thence
to Palmer Lake, distance OF 100 miles.
June 70 six head broke jail from pas
ture near Palmer Lake and h. q. Sher-
man, foreman of the ranch, started on the
hunt Tor them and traced them to Eibcrt
FRIDAY evening, n distance of ~ miles
They then led north through kiowa and
continued north past the Polo ranch,
where they were seen late Friday even
ms Mr.. Sherman arrived at the Elliott
ranch, Is miles north Of kiowa, shortly
beiore sundown Saturday evening, and
as ne had not seen anything Of the hor-
ses, ne put up for the night. At the Elliott
ranch the road came to a terminus and
the horses, which had evidently passed
this ranch during the night, had to turn
south in fenced roads for an indefinite
distance. Early Sunday morning Mr..
Elliott was awakened by the clatter OF
horses hoofs, and on getting up to inves-
tighte, saw a bunch of horses drilling i'm
patiently along his fence and looking
north IN the direction of Fort Morgan.
Mr. Sherman was speedily awakened and
on Investigation found them to be the
missing horses. They were Immediately
corraled and about $50 am. Mr.. Sher-
man started back with his charge, glad
TINT he had not to cover the other 50
miles to Fort Morgan. The horses had
followed the precise route they had been
driven three months before.
an incident OF the ride which should
not be overlooked was the roping of two
young coyotes by Mr.. Sherman, who is
aniexpert roper. He confined them in
gunnysack and on reaching Ebert,
where he put up for night, he presented
them to one Of the fair damsels of the
toMn.-C. j. Elliott in DenYer Post

A Friend or the Farmer.

The following is from a Missouri far
mer's address before farmers institute.
"As a rule the farmer knows no firmer
friend than the country press. The
home paper is distinctly the farmers
own paper, supported directly or indi
rectly by the farmers who compose the
backbone of the printers subscription
list, and largely for what the enterpris-
ing merchant advertises. Now, brothers,
let us not forget our friends.
Let us see that our subscription is paid
before the first of January, and year
in adavnce if we can afford it, The
man or the paper that fights my battles
shall have my support. Another thing,
the merchants who advertise are the
ones who make it possible for us to get a
good local paper: and the men or firms
who are too penurious to advertise and
help support the local press have no
right to the farmers patronage |
propose hereafter to go to good, live,
local advertiser, and a man who will do
his share in supporting the local press,
thus contributing to my support, rather
than to buy of the man who proposes to
take all and give nothing in return

A Warning to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather of
the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. As a rule it is only nee
essary to give the child dose of castor
oil to correct any disorder of the bowels.
Do not use any substitute. but give the
old fashioned castor oil, and see that it
is fresh, as rancid oil nauseates and has
a tendency to gripe. If this does not
check the bowels give Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
and then dose Of castor oil, and the dis
ease may be checked in It's incipiency and
all danger avoided. The castor oil and
this remedy should be procured at once
and kept ready for instant use as soon
as the first indication of any bowel trou-
ble appears. This is the most success
full treatment known and may be relied
upon with implicit confidence even in
cases of cholera infantum. For sale by
Fred Long.

An Exciting Experience.

Claude, the 15year old son of c. f.
Rainey, living about five miles northwest
of Elbert, had an exciting experience
Sunday that he will not forget for many
years. Returning home after Sunday
school he started out for walk in the
woods before dinner, and running across
two young raccoons he picked up a stick
and gave chase. The chase led him to
the rock bluffs along Running creek
where in low place between two large
rocks the ground gave way beneath him
and he fell into narrow fssure u or 10
feet deep. In this hole, a half mile from
the nearest house, he remained from
O'Clock Sunday Afternoon till about 7
o'clock Monday morning, when, after re-
peated efforts he succeeded in climbing
to the surface by digging steps with his
bare hands in the steep walls of the fis
sure. When he arrived home he was
completely played out and his hands
were covered with blood, his finger nails
being worn to the quick by digging his
WY out, Otherwise he was unhurt.
HisTareifts made search and not find.
ing him concluded he had come to town
to church and remained over night with
friends. The place where he was i'm
prisoned is rough and rocky, and had he
not succeeded in digging his way out, he
probably would have perished there.

Does Cider Intoxicate? was the ques-
ton discussed at the last meeting of the
Union. We answer most emphatically,
it does. It's only apple juice, some will
say, perfectly harmless. Lets see.
Chemical analysis shows greater per
cent Of alcohol in cider than in beer, and
that, too, in supposed sweet cider; and
herein lies one of the greatest dangers
from its use, for who shall determine
Just the line between the sweet and the
hard cider? Some one has said that it
was "Satan's kindling wood" and we
verify believe il to be so, for how often
have the latent fires OF IA hereditary dispo-
sition to incorporate habits been kindled
in young men and even boys, and have
led to their ruin and disgrace? The
young are more susceptible and more
often tempted by the glass of ''sweet'
cider than by any other form Of intoxi-
cants. In view OF this fact the w. G.. Il.
U. has set its face as flint against its
use. We believe in total abstinence for
the Individual and nation as means to-
wards righteousness, for righteousness
exalteth nation; but sin is a reproach
to any people, Our definition of tenn
perance is total abstinence from all
things harmful and moderation in all
things helpful.
Our Union is planning to have Rest
tent on the fair grounds during the fair,
which will be furnished with easy chairs
in which the tired weary ones may rest.
There will also be table with literature
free to all. Mrs. Margaret Strachan has
charge of this work; Mesdames Green
and Whiting, assistants.
The Union will meet August 0 at the
home of Mrs. Lucy Whiting. Program
Paper, "Beneft Of Temperance to the
Wage-earner," Mrs. Mary Il. Matthews,
followed by discussion by Rev. j. N,
Davis, Mrs. Ramey, Mrs. Cole. Song by
Katie Whiting. A cordial invitation is
extended to all.
