Caboose Caught Fire.

A passenger train on the Union
Pacific going south ran into the rear
of freight which had come to a
stop near Ault, Thursday afternoon,
demolishing the caboose and setting
fire to it. Passengers in the coaches
escaped serious injury, though a
number were bruised and shaken up.
Travelling Freight Agent j. S.
Carney had just stepped off the plat
form of the caboose, where he had
been talking to G. A. Jones, a
travelling man, when the collision
occurred. Carney saw the danger
and shouted to Jones to jump. He
did SO. just as the collision occurred.
The caboose Immediately took fire
from the locomotive, was consumed
and the flames spread to the next
car, which was filled with sugar. A
high wind was blowing and for a
time it looked as if the entire freight
train would burn and the flames
spread over the town.
Citizens turned out with fire extin-
guishers and after working hard for
some time succeeded in coniining the
flames to the rear cars of the freight
train

divest here Of her former holdings.
When the new owners came to
examine their holdings they found a
curious state of affairs. All the
land lies nnder the Oligarchy extern
sion ditch. One Of the new owners,
David Ure, found that he had been
given water rights in this extension
ditch and at once sought to compel
the owners of the ditch to supply
him with water. His surprise was
intense when he was informed that
he could get no water, as he owned
no rights in the Oligarchy ditch.
which Is above the Oligarchy extern
sion and which gets the supply from
a river. In other words, no water
could be given him through the ex-
tension ditch unless he had claims
on the parent ditch. His rights in
the extension, therefore, availed him
nothing, because the supply would
have to come from a ditch in which
he had no rights.
Then the Farm Investment COM
pany found itself in equally as bad a
dilemma. Its land adjoins that of
Ure. 1t had been given rights in
the Oligarchy ditch, but none In the
extension, the situation being re-
versed. This company was told that
it could get water from the Oligar-
chy ditch, but there was no way to
get it to its land excepting through
the extension ditch, in which the
company owned no rights. Thus 1t
also has no water. The company
appealed to the Boulder courts and
won, but tue Oligarchy ditch owners
have gone to the supreme court on
appeal.

CITY
Part of Town Near Depot Put
ting on Manners

If Greeley isn't careful the sec
tions of herself lying Immediately
alongside of the railroad tracks will
present so attractive an appearance
that people stopping here on the
trains will simply not be able to re-
sist the temptation of stopping of
to look the town over. Once they
get up into the residence section, or
even the business section, they are
ours. They will never be able to
leave again.
AS general rule the part of a
town seen from the railroad in pass
ing through is usually so forbidding
in appearance that the impression is
usually carried away with the trav-
eler. Greeley has had this fault in
common with other cities. But to a
large extent this is being remedied
this summer.
In the immediate vicinity of the
depot, where the most lasting I'M
preston would be made on the
travellers things are rapidly taking
on an attractive appearance. The
uew park which is now being made
will add many hundreds of dollars
to the looks of the place. When

MANY FIRES

ALL DAY FRIDAY
Two Probably of Incendiary
Origin Extinguished- Fire
Police are to be
Appointed

Last Friday was a very busy day
for the Greeley fire department.
They responded to no less than three
calls, and one of these had two fires,
that were probably of incendiary
origin.
The alarm was sent in about
O'Clock in the evening from the
residence of Charles W. Beer, corner
of Twelfth avenue and Sixth street.
1t was load of hay piled up against
the barn at the residence of Peter
Brown, owned by Mr.. Beer. This
was quickly consumed, but the fire
in the barn was practically out be-
fore the fire department reached
there. In coming up the alley,
however, some of the fire boys dis
covered the barn of Charles L..

Nearer the depot the cafe building

lumber yard with a nice brick wall,

that direction are cut of, unless, II
by any accident the bill poster
should get In his work, which is not
probable. About the only sore spot
in that section is the two long. low
brick buildings on the west side Of
Seventh avenue, used for livery
stables, but the best that can be
hoped for in improvement here Is to
cover them up pretty we'll with shade
trees across the street.

put this out.
1t happened that the fireman were
holding a general meeting In the
fire house and there were about sew
enty of them present, so that it was
but a few minutes after the alarm
had sounded when the whole gang
was at the scene of the two fires
Mr.. Beer returned down town with
the boys and put up a couple of boxes
of cigars for their prompt work In
saving the barn and other property.
At the meeting of the tiremen 1T
was unanimously voted to have two
men from each company appointed
special fire police. This was done in
order to handle the crowds at fires
and give the regular tiremen a
chance to work. Usually the crowd
will press so close to the fire that IL
hinders the men in Jheir work.
They will even, in their eagesness to
assist, take the apparatus from the
tiremen, and often do much more
harm than good. 1t was complete
stranger who wrenched the top OH
the hydrant at the time of the Bart
lett lumber yard fire, and thus lost
several valuable minutes. He sim
plv did not know which way to turn
the key, and thinking the valve was
stuck a little he wrenched Off the
inch brass bar that opens it.
1t will be the duty of this special
nolice to see that the regular tiremen
are not interfered with by 1he
crowd while at work.

PLANS DEVELOPING
G. A. R. Finance and General
Committee at Work

The 9th annual encampment of
the department. of Colorado and
Wyoming Grand Army of the Repub-
lie will be held in Greeley, Colorado,
on the 18th, 18th and l4th days of
June, 1906.
At the same time and place the
several auxiliary organizations, to-
wit: The Woman's Relief Corps,
The Daughters of Veterans, Ladies'
Auxiliary Sons of Veterans, Ladies
of the. q. A. r. and The Sons of
Veterans, will hold their annual en-
campments.
During this encampment there
will be several Thousand visitors in
Greeley and on account of limited
hotel accommodations 1t will be ne
cessary to place many Of the visitors
in private houses, boarding houses
and other places for their accommo-
dation and comfort. The general
committee therefore requests that
every hotel, boarding house, room
ing house and private family report
as soon as possible, by letter or
otherwise, to Col. G. A. White, post
commander, giving information as to
the number of rooms available, num-
ber Of persons possible to accommo-
date. whether gentlemen, ladies or
married couples, together with the
price per day for the rooms, with or
without table board. This informa-
tion is positively necessary at an
early date in order that the commit
tee on assignment to quarters may
tabulate the same and promptly
place the visitors on the morning of
the first day of the reunion.
The general committee In charge
of this encampment is composed Of
the following named ladies and gen.

This Is really product or Peru, but
Mr.. House believes that he can accli-

down by Jay MCGEE. who had been
chasing it on horseback. The wolf
was nearly exhausted when it reached
the home of Mr.. Pixler, and was
evidently making for his chicken
house. 1t proved quite an easy cap
ture. The animal had become so
tame that Mr.. Pixler had. often
thrown rocks at it to drive it off his
premises, bnt could never get near it
when he had gun. 1t was as large

TO REMODEL HOUSE
Thorough Overhauling of Greeley
Theatre Assured

As soon as the present season
closes at the Greeley opera house the
new company that owns it will
commence complete remodeling of
the building. A gallery will be
put in the back of the house and the
part at present used for the cheaper
seats In the back of the house will
be converted into four Office rooms,
with the new gallery Immediately
above these.
The Eighth avenue entrance will
be widened out to eight feet and
will be the main entrance. Better
seats will be put in part of the house
and the interior handsomely decor
ated.
The entrance on Eighth street will
still be used as means of exit in
case of fire. Another convenient
exit will be put in on the south, or
alley side of the building. The new
management will put in two high
class attractions each week during
the season.
New floors will be put down
throughout the building, and every
thing done to make it good Office
building.
There is also some talk of raising
the roof of the building few feet
and take this extra space and the
present third story and make two
floors of these, thus making it four
story building. This can be done
without raising the roof more than a
few feet, and will make but little
material difference in the looks of
the building. This part of the work
will not be decided, however, until
a later date.

RAILROAD AUTOS
Two Put on the Colorado and
Southern Road

Two novel pieces of rolling stock
we're put into commission on the
Colorado & Southern last Wednesday
afternoon. 1t was a railway auto
mobile, built somewhat similar to
the regular road auto, except that
the wheels had fianges like any rail-
road car wheel, to keep it on the
rails.
The new machines were run from
Denver to Fort Collins for trial
trip. The cars are neatly decorated,
upholstered and present an attractive
appearance. Gasoline is used for
motive power and each car will hold
ten persons and can also haul
trailer that will seat twelve persons.
The trip was made in about three
hours and a half without mishap.
The average speed made was about
twenty-five miles an hour, although
a forty y-mile-an-hour clip was reached
a number of times during the trip.
1t is AN easy matter to make the
time of the regular passenger trains
on this line of the Colorado & South
ern.
For the next month these autos
are to be used between Fort Collins
and Bellevue, on the Colorado &
Southern. after which they will be
used by the Eldorado resort company
to transfer tourists from Marshall on
the main line of the Colorado 4
Southern to Eldorado, distance of
six miles on a branch line. The
Eldorado resort company is spending
large fortune in fitting up its
place, which will be opened about
NAV Is. After June daily excur-
sion train will be run from Denver
to the resort.

TALKS ruins
GREELEY MAN AU-
THORITY ON AZTEC LORE
Prot. Edgar L. Hewett Once of
Normal Faculty Now Has
at Ideal Job for the
Government

Prof. Edgar L. Hewett, formerly
of the State Normal school, but now
representing the American Institute
of Archaeology and the United States
government in Investigating the
Aztec ruins Of Colorado and New
Mexico was in Denver the latter part
of last week giving lectures on that
subject.
The cliff dwellings of the Mesa
Verde constitute the hobby of Mr..
Hewett, and he has become a recog-
nized authority on the archaeology
of the southwest, and is making it
pay him while he follows his further
Investigations. While in the Mesa
Verde recently Mr.. Hewett made
several discoveries not heretofore re-
corded.
Speaking on the subject in which
he is interested Prof. Hewett said
among other things:
II trust that the people of Colo
RADIO are of one mind as to the i'm
portance Of preserving the cliff
dwellings. No difference of opinion
as to the method to he ultimately
employed should be allowed to pre-
vent action looking to the immediate
protection and preservation of the
most important monuments of anti
auity that we hnve on American soil.
70 one visiting the cliff awell-
ings after an absence of some years,
the destruction that has gone on is
appalling. The vandalism of earlier
years was allowed to proceed to such
an extent that now the greatest of
the buildings, such as Cliff palace,
Spruce Tr.e house and Balcony
house, are deteriorating rapidly, the
walls in many instances being at the
point Of falling Of their own weight.
A sufficient amount of reparation to
prevent this is as urgently needed
as is efficient custodianship to pre-
vent further damage by vandals. If
the Mesa Verde national park bill Is
inadequate to afford this protection,
it should be extended in its scope so
that it will include and protect
every important ruin on the mesa.
"As the Colorado cliff dwellings
are made better known to the world
throuph the puhllcation of scientific
Investigations now in progress, l
have no doubt that they will be
visited by thousands Of tourists
every year. They constitute an at
traction by no means second to the
great scenic wonders of the state.
Consequently the people of Colorado
should, and, l believe. do give their
hearty support to every measure look
ing toward the preservation of these
great works of primitive man in the
Centennial state.

To the eye of the artist the gar
