Police Court Business.

Two cases were brought before Po.
lice Magistrate Labaree for adjust
ment Tuesday morning.
Frank Polk, a journeyman carpen-
ter, was charged with being drunk and
with having fight with John Oliver,
aplasterer, Monday evening. He was
fined $500 and costs, fine and costs
amounting to 81 Is. The fine was
suspended by the police magistrate
during the good behavior of the de-
fendsnt. The costs were paid.
The other case was charge OF dis
turbance against John Oliver and
Bert Wagner. The complaint was
sworn to by Marshal Twomey, the
complaining witness being Martha
Vogel, the negro washwoman, who
lives in tent near the coal chutes.
In the complaint Oliver and Wagner
are alleged to have visited the negro
woman's tent last Sunday evening,
while drunk, and to have created u
disturbance there by cutting the guy
ropes Of her tent and committing 9TH
er acts OF disturbing character.
Owing to the fact that the Vogel
woman is ill of pneumonia and was
consequently unable to appear in
court, this case was continued to next
Monday morning.

Proceedings Of Town Board.

At an adjourned meeting Of the
board of town trustees held Thursday
evening of last week action on elec-
trio lights and water works was post
poned until proposition could be re-
ceived from j. G. Scott, Of Denver, in
reference to putting in a lighting plant
at his own expense. Mr.. Scott noti-
fed the board that he would make a
proposition along this line in short
time and until he does so no definite
action will be taken by the board of
trustees.
Estimates received from r. p. Nc
Donald, the man employed by the
board to figure the cost of water
works and electric light plant, place
the cost OF the two plants at approxi-
mately S37,0OO.OO. Should the town
build the water works plant alone the
cost would be about $27 10000.
Whether the town puts in one Or
both plants, or either, will haye to be
decided by the people, and it is praba-
BILE that the property owners will be
called together as soon as some kind
of q proposition can be put in pre-.
sentable shape, and asked to discuss
the question at length.

Fast Time On Union Pacific,

Union Pacific Passenger No. 2l3.
Engineer Murphy in charge and with
Theodore Silstrop as fireman, made
the champion run from Denver one
evening two weeks ago. This train is
the Julesburg- Omaha flyer, and its
schedule time is close to u mile min
ute. On the evening in question the
train left Denver Il minutes late and
reached Brighton, 10 miles from Den
yer in lG minutes, including the slow
time necessary in the Denver city linn
its. From Lupton to Platteville the
flyer burned the rails to frazzle,
making the distance of 81 miles in !
minutes, and maintained a speed of 70
miles to the hour for considerable
distances. BY the time La Sale was
reached the Is minutes had been made
up. That was going some. The train

Dry Farming A Great Thing.

Good results from dry farming can
be obtained in any locality with ar
average of eight or ten inches of rain.
fall. Too much water is wasted now
on the top OF the ground. This is the
reason California fruit is not so good
as Colorado fruit and California po.
tatoes, if they have any in that state,
are not to be compared with Greeley
potatoes. There is no part of this
great country of ours where the rain.
fall is the same every year. The bug
bear of drouth is constantly before
every farmer. If I were a farmer ]
would start out the season with the
principle OF dry farming and the idea
that there was to be little rain. l be.

Prisoner Breaks Jail.

Roy Vincent the prisoner held for
horse-stealng, broke Jail last night
while Sheriff McEldowney had gone
to supper, and up to this time nothing
has been heard of him. He managed
to drag the stove poker up TO the cage
his arm out and with the assistance of
the poker broke the lock. This only
demonstrates the fact that Deuel. coun-
ty should have Jail that would hold
Il prisoner long enough for the sheriff
to eat his meals.-Chappel Register

New Town Near Sterling.

The talk of starting another town
just far enough away from Sterling to
be out of the jurisdiction of the local
police and yet close enough to be easy
of access to Sterling sports, is being
revived. In fact it is stated that most
of the arrangements for founding the
town are completed and that it will
surely be go this time. Denver
men are said to be interested in get
ting the town started. They have Sc
lected Mimic, four miles north of
Sterling, as u likely spot and intend,
of course, to have saloons and such
other ''things" as are always to be
found in wide open town. We are
inclined to think the project will not
go further than the talked OF stage,
although it is possible that the idea is
being seriously considered.-St Sterling

About Advertising.

"Twenty-five dollars will buy u
fairly good sized space i'll country
paper for whole year. Fifteen dol
lars more will pay for weekly
change. Forty dollars year-less
than one dollar an issue! The dealer
needs to sell only four dollars worth
more each month to pay for the en-
tire ad. Properly managed the adver-
vertisement will pay from one to five
hundred per cent on the investment.
1t is wonderful how much good a little
confidence and enthusiasm will do.
l do not care what town it is, intclli-
gent advertising in the local paper
will pay. Good Advertising.
