Refuse O'Donnell's Divorce.

The jury in the district court that
has been hearing the case of Mollie
O'ponnell seeking divorce from
Thomas O'Donnell, the wealthy
Lougmont farmer, last Friday even
ing refused to grant either party a
divorce, and finding both guilty of
extreme cruelty.
The case was up for hearing for
several days before Judge Garrigues
and was one of the hardest fought
divorce cases ever heard in the dis
trict court here. 0'Donnell is an
old and wealthy farmer who about
fifteen months ago married a young
woman, probably thirty-tive years his
Junior. The cruelties recited in the
bills that the two filed almost simul-
taneously are as we'll not recorded,
as the jury it appeared believed both
sides of the case.

Too Many Bachelors.

The Tribune office has been de-
luged with answers to want ad by
a lady with five years old girl who
wanted a place upon ranch as
housekeeper for a bachelor. AS the
lady had left the address filed in the
office when the ad was left here the
anxious bachelors could not find the
lady.
If there is one thing that this
want ad teaches more forcefully than
it's own merit, it is that there is an
overproduction of old bachelor
farmers, or an underproduction Of
manageable young women, or else
that the bachelor nerve is not up to
the right standard in Weld county.
Shame on you young men, that you
must depend on little want ad for
your housekeepers.

JACOBSON-BADE COMPANY OF PORT AND
OREGON, SUCCESSFUL BIDDERS
Greeley to Have Soft Mountain Water by Janu.
aryl l007-Denver National Bank and
the Bellan-Price Investment Com.
pany Take Bonds at Par.

1t is done The bonds are dis
posed of, the contract for construc-
tion let, and the new system for
carrying pure soft water from the
mountains to Greeley will be COM
pleted by Jan. l, 1907.
That in a nutshell tells what the
city council did at an adjourned
meeting last Monday evening. 1t
took them until O'Clock in the
morning to wind up the whole busi-
ness.
The denver National Bank and
the Bellan-Price Investment COM
pany take the $3.50, 600 worth of bonds
or so much thereof as is needed,
at. par, at ~ per cent per annum.
There is no bonus or other induce
ments. The bonds were simply con-
sidered good enough investment by
capitalists to buy them at their face
value.
The Jacobson Bade company of
Portland, Oregon, secured the con-
tract for constructing the new water
system ready to connect up with the
present system of pipes in the city.
The contract price is 1923, s69.s2.
This is anywhere from $4,000 to
81, 900 lower than the next lowest
bid, that of Gatfey & Keefe of Den
yer, the variation being due to a few
minor requirements, which were left
elastic enough to possibly make a
difference of about $4,000.
After thorough investigation OF
the responsibility of the lucky bid
ders the council committees on water
works and finance, the two commit
tees being composed of the same
men. found their record without a
flaw. and there was no hesitancy on
that account in awarding the con-
tract, The company has 10 days in
which to file sufficient surety BOND,
guaranteeing to the city the faith
full and square carrying out OF the
contract.

Miller as Collector.

According to a story from Ault,

in the grocery business, now in the
produce business, has recently made
a record as collector. He returned
the other morning from Wheatland.

when he got off the train. at Wheat
land, notified his brother, who i'm

A Town by Lottery.

An old time 'and lottery is to be
pulled of shortly in northern Colo
Iado that is supposed to start boom
in the country north of Ault. The
new town which it is intended shall
result from tho lottery will be
known as Underflow, and will be
situated nine miles north of Ault
The townsite has been mapped and
plated. and in plan does not look
unlike Greeley. The U. P. railroad
runs right through the center Of the
town about as it does in Greeley,
with the park site, the public square
and the court house block west Of
the tracks. All these sites will be
donated to the town, and the pro-
moters also offer free building lots
for churches of various denomina-
tions, besides $1,000 for the first
church that can be erected and $500
toward the second.
If the plans by the Swift Packing
company, as talked some time ago,
for watering that country should be
carried through there will likely be
a pretty good town in that country.
If they are not carried through there
will be no need Of a town.

Greeley Boy Makes a Strong
Plea for Same

When even the boys themselves
make a plea for some place where
they can gather under the right in

anything else that the need is great.
Here is an appeal by a Greeley boy

the hope that other boys may be-
come equally Interested, and finally
bring influence enough to bear upon
their parents and older friends to
start some kind of a good boys club.
What a novelty that would be, If a
lot of young Greeley boys should be
able to raise enough money for Y.
NJ. C. A. building in this city.
Following is the letter:

WIN FROM SPRINGS
Take Good Game by the Score
of 40 to az

Last Friday the high school basket
ball team went to Idaho Springs
where they defeated the high school
team of that place by score of 40 to
AZ In one of the fastest games of the
season. This is the first team that
has been able to defeat the Springs
team at home in two years. The
hall they play in is so low that be-
tween the baskets and the ceiling is
only two feet and team that is used
to plenty of room is up against it
when they have only two feet to
throw through. Good, the giant
center, however, was equal to the
occasion ana made baskets right
along.
The Idaho Springs team have been
out for the championship this season
and the defeat at the hands of Gree
ley was a complete surprise to them.

High school work was first begun
In Greeley in 1876, six years after
the schools were started. Frank J.
Annis, now lawyer in Fort Collins,
was superintendent, principal and
teacher Of all the branches in high
school. The first class graduated in
1880 under W. c. Thomas, now a
real estate agent in Greeley. OF the
five members Of the first class two
are still here: Mrs. A. A. Wood
bury and Mrs. G. d. Page, who is
assistant in Superintendent Carter's
office.
The second class graduated in 1882
with six members and two of these
ale living on farms near Greeley,
Mrs. Jerome Cook and Mortimer
Darling. The classes gradually Fin
creased in numbers until 1900 when
forty-two young people received d.
plomas. This was the largest class
ever graduated from the Greeley high
school. The second largest class Of
thirty five graduated the following
year.
The total number of graduates
from the Greeley high school is three
hundred and ninety seven. OF these
only ten have gone to the Better
Land" The rest are scattered east,
west, north and south, and are fol-
lowing almost every vocation, but
we know it matters not where they
are nor how busy their lives may be,
they will never quite forget the
home town and their high school
days.

SLIGHT BALM
ROZENE MEEKER AWARDED
$50 LIBEL DAMAGES
Denver Republican Held to be
Guilty of Causing Greeley
Woman Anguish of
Mind

A jury in Judge Palmer's court In
Denver last Friday awarded Rozene
Meeker $50 damages against the
Denver Republican for the publica-
tion of sensational articles about the
lady during the Meeker family
troubles couple of years ago.
A number of Greeley people were
down there as witnesses, most Of
them in behalf of the defense. Mn.
A. ]. Allen, writer of the articles In
question, was one of the principal
witnesses. j. Max Clark, Dave F.
Camp and others were also down
there. Mrs. 1. H. Paine was the
only witness from here in favor Of
Miss Meeker.
Miss Meeker sued the paper for
s25, 600 damages for anguish of mind
on account of the articles.
The jury found for the defendant
on the first and third causes Of ac-
tion and for the plaintiff on the
second cause Of action, assessing the
nominal damages named. Attor-
neys for Miss Meeker gave notice Of
an application for new trial and
were granted ten days in which to
present bill of exceptions.
Three issues of the paper were in
cluded in Miss Meeker's complaint,
and each constituted different
cause Of action. The first was =
statement that the Meeker homs-
stead at Greeley was like Dickens
"Old Curiosity shop" That the
"Mother of Greeley" meaning the
mother Of the plaintiff, was i'll and
subjected to hardships by her
daughter. That tine house was con-
sidered by the children to be
haunted. That the plaintiff slept
between dirty bedticks without re-
moving her clothes. That her
mother had said "Rozene will drive
me into closet. +"
Plaintiff alleged that the article
meant that she was abusing her
mother, hoping the old lady would
die so that she could get the pro-
perty The article also alleged that
Miss Meeker was insane from exces-
sive use of opium, morphine and
chloral. The jury found for the de-
tendant on these charges and as
sessed the damages at nothing.
The second cause of action, which
the jury thought was bad enough to
damage Miss Meeker to the extent Of
$50, was an article in which it was
stated that she had eloped with S.
B. Profit, who was alleged to be an
adventurer. The further statement
was made that she broke off with
Profit because he did not have as
much money as she had believed him
to have.
The plaintiff claimed that the
paper tried TO show that she was
woman who was mercenary and of
such character as would run away
with an adventurer.
The third cause of action was the
report of the alleged visit of Miss
Meeker to Kansas City to be with
Protlit, who was called a high roll
ler.'' The jury decided that she
could recover nothing on this charge

 Women have accounted it # virtue to make sacrifices iJr their male relatives. Instead of virtue its a crime. Not bong ago ] heard a young woman telling how hard she had been and was working to help earn money to keep her brother in College; how she had economized and made every sac- rifice for him. She did not have d College education, nor did she ex peet to have and she possessed quite as much natural ability as did he. With all the progress women have made it is still d com mon occurrence for q sister to go without that a brother may have advantages superior to hers. A double injury is thus done, the brother is made to be selfish and she cripples and dwarfs her own development. When women are given the same opportunities the men will not lead in any line.

Stock Market

Kansas City, Mo, Friday, De. cember 29th. 1005.-Cattle receipts have been moderate this week but the demand has also been limited the usual holiday duliness being noted Proportion of fed steers has been large, and prices are a quarter lower on them in conse- quence. The market is better on killing stuff last two days, how ever, and cows are closing the week steady with week ago. stockers and feeders have been quiet, without any change in pri- ces. Supply from the range coun- try has been small this week, steers selling at 1885 to S3.75, cows $2.50 to $500. Since August list, the total number of cattle marketed has Teen the largest on record at this point, at l,45O,000. The disposition to packers has been extra large, while the num- Der taken to the country has only been normal The increase in the slaughter at Kansas City has caus- ed great many animals to be used in this channel that ordina- rily went to the country hereto fore. In other words, there has been more competition between the packers and the country buy CTS this season than ever before, and generally the packers have outbid the country buyers for any, thing they could use. The situa- fion is expected to brighten lip in all lines after this week.
 The sheep and lamb market is strong and active this week, prices 20 10 90 higher than week ago, and about as good as at the best time this winter. Supply has been small til last two days, and quality also ordinary, but yester- day and to-day the ruE has in- cluded better assortment O1 all classes. No San Luis Valley, or pea fed stuff, has been here this week, except some thin lambs and ewes that had to go to feeder buy- CTS. Arkansas Valley and Kansas and Missouri fed western lambs sold at S7.25 to $7.50 today, weigh ing 66 to T3 tb.. fed Arizona year lings SStb, at $6.40, ewes ll3fb, at S5.35, weters $5.75 to $6.10. The market is apparently on d firm basis and some phenomenal prices will no doubt be paid for choice stock after the first of the year. Both receipts and slaughter of sheep for the year are the largest on record for Kansas City, receipts approximately 1,325,00O head, slaughter 100000 head.
