Cheyenne Goes on IA Rampage.
IBY IKE FEwcLoTHEs.l

[BY IKE FEwcLoTHEs1
| Cheyenne is large. black horse.
supposed to he the gentlest critter
that ever wore harness hut he amt.
Cheyenne has been the family horse
of the Drewett family for many years.
and used to be loved and respected,
but he is looked on with scorn these
days.
For some time past Miss leila
Drewett has been employed in the
| Ozone Lumber Co.'S. store as sales
lady. aud. living quitea distance. she
rode horseback to and from her
work. Cheyenne was used for this
purpose. and during the day he was
looked after aud cared for by one
Mr.. Burt Estes. II very noble CD char
acter with derby hat or, who is
also employed i'm the store. Last
Wednesday the old delivery horse.
William, was ailing with yellow
jaundice. so Burt said. and Cheyenne
was brought forth and harnessed to
the delivery wagon. Realizing that
his chance had arrived, Cheyenne be-
came outrageously frightened, and
moved out from the loading platform
at the back of the store. There have
been wrecks, rnn-aways and cyclones
ever since Adam and Ewes time, but
Cheyenne's cyclonic canter puts them
all i'm the shade by "a large per cent.
Reliable witnesses say he attained n
speed of at least two miles a minute.
Of course this cannot lie verified, but
| from the looks of the wreck it must
have been terrible. Ont through a
thickly populated section Cheyenne
dashed matily. Women and children
scurried hither and thither to places
of safety, chickens and other domes-
tic fowls flew over into Vim parish.
while Burt held his breath and shud
dered.
Walking over the scene this morn
ing i'm company with Senator Bailey.
of Texas, and District Attorney Je-
rome, of New York, we counted 39S
different and distinct pieces of the
wagon, to say nothing of the har-
ness. The scene beggarded descrip-
ton. U would have said this SOON
err but forgot it,
They say that while Cheyenne was
| whirling through space the audience
was SO silent that promisory note
was plainly heard drawing interest
| i'm Colfax, which is twenty miles
away This is doubted by some.
Cheyenne escaped without IA scratch.
but the Ozone Lumber Co. is out
about S45. Smith, the bOOkkeeper,
told me confidentially that the whole
thing was caused by Burt Estes, who
wanted new wagon, and persuad-
ed Cheyenne to initiate Dan Patch by
means of peculiar twist of his face
and an open umbrella.

are referred to Tom kirkby, AL
Strange and Emanuel Oxodine, eye

Verda has had since the skating rink
was i'm full bloom.

A Gift to Come From
The Loyal C0loladOalS.

The campaign for funds with which
to purchase 4 handsome silver ser
vice as gift to the cruiser Colorado
is to begin April Ist and it is hoped
that the entire fund will be completed
within few weeks. The special
committee of the Colorado State
Commercial association and OF which
Governor Mcdonald is the chairman,
has received many letters of en-
couragemcnt and commendation and
several wealthy citizens have volun-
teered large contributions toward the
81. 500 required. In each case letters
OF explanation have been sent to these
enthusiasts explaining the plan OF the
Association to accept only a small
contribution from each person.
The committee has decided not to
accept contributions direct but to
have the newspaper publishers OF the
This plan was decided upon as being
the most complete and satisfactory
way of giving the 635,ooo men, women
and children of Colorado an individu-
al opportunity to subscribe to this
great popular fund.
In accordance with this plan the
Enterprise Will receive contrlDutiOns
of 10 cents and from time to time
publish the names of the donors.
How many of our readers, young and
old want representation in this patri-
otic movement?
The committee should be enabled
to close the campaign for funds with
in sixty days and the suggestion that
the gift shall represent the great,
throbbing, patriotic heart of Colora-
do should meet the approval OF every
citizen of the state. The Enterprise
will publish list of all subscriptions
as they are made and we hope to in
clude the name of every pupil in the
public schools of this city and county.
We believe every "grown-up" should
contribute at least dollar and school
children at least silver dime.

Attorney Gobln's Views o. nunleipsi
Affairs.

Among those who showed a more or
less active interest in. the defeat Of the
bond issue at Mondays election was
Attorney w. B. Goblin. With a view to
learning Just what Mr.. Gobln would sub
stitute in place Of the several PROPOSE
tons submitted Monday for solution OF
the water problem. the Enterprise intsr-
viewed him.
Mr.. Goblin is the local attorney in the
Aldermanic contest that is still pending
IN the courts. and as q primary question
incidental 10 his position on the water
question he was asked as TO the present
status OF the Aldermanie case.
Mr.. Goblin said the decision handed
down by the Supreme Court this week
meant that the upper court had instruct
cd Judge Dixon to reverse his decision. or
to put il more mildly. had Instructed him
tina, the. law required tho election Of
Aldermen by their respective wards In
cities Of the Rocky Ford class, and that
he should order recanvas OF the vote
polled at the las, city election and the in
stallment Of the eoa,ss,ing Aldermen as
the vote required. This was kindlleT
way Of putting !. than simply telling
Judge Dixon he was wrong. Mr.. Gobin
expressed the belief tha. Judge Dixon
would act promptly as had been suggest
cd To him by the upper court He iurih-
or believed ,hs, the honorable gentlemen
now holding seats at the council board
were only waiting 20 % assured that
they were in the wrong and would grace
fully retire as soon as tho courts action
was brought TO their notice. Their resig-
nations would probably be placed in the
Mayors hands at once.
Regarding his solution Of the water
problem Mr.. Goblin then wen, on TO say
tha; tho proper cleaning and repiping Of
two o! tho old wells and tho introduction
CT q proper water liit would give the
town easily 500 gaiioSs OF water per
minute. quantity moro than sufficient
fer all present demands. This no had
figured could DO done fer about $1,000.
As soon as the new Aldermen were seat
cd they would proceed TO tho issue OF
four TO SIX saloon licenses n 1000 each.
/ This would give the town all tho money
needed to solve the water problem. and
somsthing over. lie was In favor OF
making tho city whlsscy bill pay tho city
water bill.
Mr.. Gobin went On 10 say that he was
IN favor OF some plan for rofunding tho
outstanding Indebtedness OF tho town. but
was not prepared 10 outline tho policy o!
the new Aldermen on this point.
III the people Of Rocky Ford wal; for
water until tho An,i-Saloon Aldermen
resign tha, saloons may be licensed to
provide the needed funds. Il will be = long
