her she was only partially successful
in avoiding the rock, which struck
her on the side Of her head, knocking
her over backwards. In the fall she
cut the wrist of her right arm badly.
The bruise on the side of her head
was also bad one. A pair of glasses
that she wore were smashed aud only
small part of one bow was found.
There happened to be trained
nurse and doctor at the resort
when the accident happened and the
injuries were dressed as we'll as pos
sible there. Upon their arrival in
Greeley In the evening more atten-
tion was given to the injuries by DR..
Dyde, the family physician. Luckily
no bones we're broken and although
the injuries we're painful they were
not dangerous.

A NEW INVENTION
Mechanical Potato Picker Made
By Kansas Man

B. H. Pugh of Topeka, Kan, has
invented a potato digger that will
not alone dig the spuds but will pick
thern up and sort them as we'll, he
| fihas sent the Tribune picture Of the
affair which gives fair idea of what
1T is like. The digger itself differs
but slightly from some now in use
and to this is attached an elevator
which carries the tubers from the
digger to wagon. The picture sent
here shows the potatoes running into
a wagon box loose. This invention
would probably have to be modified
some should it be used In the Greeley
district where potatoes generally are
sacked.
Mr.. Pugh claims that his inven
tion has been thoroughly field tested
and has made good. He believes
that it may eventually DO away with
hand labor altogether and thus solve
one of the hardest problems of the
potato business. The machine, it 10
claimed, will dig and pick up .
wagon load of potatoes In twenty
minutes.

city right to change the point Of d.

In the pipe line. The water is worth
about s35, 900 and cost the city but
small part of that.
That particular ditch seems to
have been dug with view to sup

distant future day, for 1t carried
exactly the carrying capacity of the
pipe line. At present the pipe limo
is running about half full of water
and is using about one-half Of the
appropriation. but when the city
reuches a population of $1,000 or
more all of the water will be needed.

ABOUT LAST OF THEM
Big Roundup Near Hardin Last
Week

Last week in the vicinity of
Hardin and Roggen was held the
higgsst roundup Of cattle In Weld
county for Several years, including
S, 600 head of cattle, herds of John
Klug, John Painter. Waite brothers,
Steve Wiswell, James and Frank
Loustelet and others who have been
engaged in the cattle business all
their lives in this section Of the
country.
Twenty-Five years ago their COM
bined herds numbered $4,000, but as
the tarb wire fences of the home
steader encroached more and more on
the open range and the cattle of the
stockmen we're confined to smaller
territory 1t became necessary to sell
of the stock so that at the present
time there are but two places IN
Weld county where one may see the
annual spring and fall roundups, and
there In only small way as he could
quarter of century ago. In the
vicinities of Grover and Hardin there
still remains from SO, 900 to 1000
acres of range, where roam the rem
nants of the big herds. Last weeks
roundup was held near the klug
ranch and several hundred young
stock were branded.
The stockmen say that this Is the
beginning of the end and that 1t will
be but few years until there Is nc
open range and all cattle must then
be cared for in the confines of ones
own acres. They say it Is safe to
predict that in five years the stock
of Weld county will consist only Of
that fed on the fields of the farmers
and that likely the greater part OF 1t
will be shipped In from Wyoming
and Montana for winter feeding fol
SprinU market.

TO MERGE ALL
POWER COMPANIES SAID TO
BE GETTING TOGETHER
Central Power Will Soon Control
All Minor Companies of the
State-Greeley Will
Feel Change

The Central Colorado Power com.
pany is, according to report, negot.
iating for the purchase of the North
ern Colorado Power company, and
the two organizations will be merged
In short time.
The Denver Gas s. Electric com.
pany, representing the Mcmillan
syndicate, is reported to be negotiat-
ing for the power plant and street
railway at Colorado Springs. The
Mcmillan people now own the Dem
yer Gas & Electric company, the
Pueblo light plant, are in control of
the Summit Power company. and
have number of plants in states
east of here.
The Central Colorado Power com.
pany is capitalized at 1922, 900, 900 and
Myron T. Herrick, former governor
of Ohio, is in charge of the affairs uf
the company. 1t is building plants
and pipe lines on the Grand river at
the east mouth of Gore canon and
near Glenwood Springs. This COM
pany is also backing the Eastern
Colorado Power company, which is
building series of reservoirs and a
power plant on Middls Boulder creek
above the town of Boulder. The
General Electric company of New
York is the principal financial hacker
of the Central and Eastern Colorado
Power companies. y
The Northern Colorado Pbwsl
COMPANY recently completed power
plant at Lafayette, Colo and has
built power lines through all of the
northern part of the state. The
company also has the power and
heating plant at Cheyenne. A few
days ago the company was granted a
franchise for street railway system
in Cheyenne.
Within the last two years the
Northern Colorado Power com pany
purchased the power plants at Lafa-
yette, Louisville, Boulder, Long
mont, Loveland, Fort Collins, Gree
ley and Cheyenne, The buying Of
these plants gave the company con-
troll of the northern part of the state.
The Northern Colorado Power
company Is capitalized at So, 900, 600
and is hacked by the Westinghouse
company.
The negotiations for the purchase
of the Northern Colorado Power COM
pany are said to be nearing compile
tion in New York. Local officials
of the Central and Northern COM
panies say they are In the dark as
regards the matter and can give no
detail of the proposed merger.
The establishment of large power
houses in Colorado means that many
of the railroads will use electric
power on their systems, and that
many interurban electric lines will
be built. The power companies are
trying to secure control of the cleo
tric lines in different cities and
towns in the state so that they Will
control the entrance of interurban
lines, as the Denver City Tramway
company does in this city. 1t is be-
Iieved that finally al Of the electric
companies in the state will be under
one management, and every part OF
Colorado will be supplied with cleo
trio power at a low cost.

NEAR ASPHYXIATION
MRS. HART OVERCOME BY FUMES
 FROM WATER HEATER.
Closed Windows And Doors Of Bath
 Room While Preparing Her Bath And Was uneonscious
 When Found.

Mrs. Jamie Hart was almost asphyxi- ated at her home. 10 Scott street, late Friday night from the fumes from a water heating apparatus attached to the bath.
 Mrs. Hart. it is said, had been at tending the State Fair with her two children Friday afternoon, and was seen down town on her return in the best of health. Before retiring about 10 o'clock, Mrs. Hart went into the bath room to prepare a bath. She lighted the heater. closing all of the windows and the door.
 Her brother, noticing that Mrs. Hart had been in the bath for some time. and thinking that something had gone amiss, knocked on the door. He re- ceived no answer. but being a. trifle deaf, he asked one of the children to knock. The child also reported there was no answer. tl
 The door to the bath room was then broken open and Mrs. Hart was found in an unconscious condition.
 A physician was immediately sum- moned who restored Mrs. Hart to con- sciousness, expressing at the same time the belief that if she had been but a few moments longer under the influ- ence of the gas. she would have been past the power of reconciliation.
 Except for being extremely nervous, Mrs. Hart's condition is reported as ex- cellent She will probably be out again on Monday.

Notable Figure fn Tennessee's Ante-

 Knoxville. Tenn, Nov. 2-Judge o. P. Temple. one of the last of the not able figures in Tennessee,s Ante-Bel- ium history, died at his home in this city this morning. He was in his eighty eighth year.
 Judge Temples career was most not able. He took the stump in behalf of Henry Ciay's candidacy for president. In 1S47 he conducted memorable cam paign for Congress against Andrew Johnson, and was defeated by Johnson by small majority. President Fil- more appointed him member of an Indian commission.
 Judge Temple was a member of the Whig convention that nominated Bell and Everetts and he made an aggres- sive canvass for Bell. He opposed secession from the union and when the civil war came, he predicted the aboli- tion of slavery as result of the resort to arms In 1874 President Grant ap- pointed him visitor to West Point, and in 1881 President Arthur named him as postmaster at Knoxville, the last public office he held.
 Governor Browulow rendered him q seat upon the Supreme bench of Ten nessee, but he declined 1t.
