Tonight In
And

vouae of 1900 Indians who enjoyed
parleying with them in an effort to
trade ponies for one of the little girls.
In playing with the Indian children
the Batchelder girls discovered one
among them with beautiful blue eyes
shining out of a dirty face surrounded
by tangle of soiled golden hair. The
Indians explanation of her presence
among them was very lame; but the
party was utterly helpless to do any
thing more than TO wash the face and
comb the neglected hair of the poor
child, for they were themselves en-
tirely in the power of these ruthless
marauders.
During Friday afternoon many
friends called to offer congratulations
and bring floral gifts and other tok-
ems of kind remembrance.

COUNTY OFFICERS LOOKING
FOR MORE MONEY.

Several of the county officers are
after the commissioners TO allow them
an increase in salaries. The legisla-
ture in 1909 made Fremont county a
county of the third class and this
would Increase the salaries of all of
the officers but the law under which
the increase is claimed is now under
going test in the supreme court in
a case taken up by the county clerk
of Pueblo county.
II the Pueblo county clerk wins his
suit il will increase the pay OF the
county clerk from s24eO to $4,000; the
county treasurer from s2500 to $4,000;
the district clerk from $500 to s25oo.
1t would also Increase the county
Judge allowance from $4,000 to $500
This feature does not appeal to the
present county judge because his sal
the ONCE do not give him the present
allowance Therefore an increase in
the amount would not help him unless
the business of the office nearly doub-
led
For salary purposes the county as
SCISSOR and superintendent of schools
are in the list of counties of the
second class. The commissioners will
not allow any increased salaries un-
til the test case now in court is de-
cided apd then they may decide TO lit
igate before nonoring warrants for
an increase
The Legislature of 1895 passed a
law that will increase the salaries
to the figures mentioned above but
it is not retroactive and does not ben
eft the present incumbents. The Of
ficers elected next year, however, will
draw the increased pay without ques-
ton The Office OF county clerk is
self supporting. Last year the fees
amounted TO $500 more than the to-
tai salary and expenses of conducting
the office.

NEWSPAPERS CHARGE LEGAL
RATES FOR LEGAL PRINTING.

When the bids were opened last
Monday the commissioners were sur
prised to find there were no bids for
what is usually termed the county
printing"-that is publishing the legal
notices from the commissioners and
county officers.
Some time ago the newspapers Of
the county made an agreement that
they would do no legal printing for
state, county, city or individual at
less than legal rate. There is an
established rate made by law for this
class Of work. In Colorado it is not
as high as in most states. 1t is paid
by the state. by the city and by all in
dividuals WHO have legal work done.
The county is the only one that has
had work done at less than this rate
in recent years.
For several years the papers OF Ere
mont county have been doing this
work at less than cost and they have
come to the conclusion that they have
in the past been phools.
At legal prices the county printing
is worth having-but at prices it has
been going at II is a detriment to any
Office that has had it
Nearly every county in the state
pays legal rates and there is no reason
why Fremont county should not do
the same The whole thing amounts
to only a few hundred dollars at the
most

DR.. Kellenberger was the first to
climb the sky line boulevard with his
auto. and he will be the last also,
as the signs are up warning auto driv-
ers and bicyclists that the drive is
not for them. The promoters of the
road intended it for use of the ma

den its use by these vehicles.
