Arrested
[Walsenburg World.l

The Spaulding Manufacturing
company of Grinnell, Iowa, are max
ers OF high class buggies and spring
wagons. They have been in the
habit of coming through this coun-
try about one in every three years
with their statesmen and string of
buggies and selling to the ranchmen.
In 1905 the Colorado legislature
passed what is known as the timer
ant vendors act by which all timer
ant vendors are required to pay IL
cense. and defining an itinerant ven
dor as anyone who does temporary
or transient business.
The Spaulding statesmen are again
in Colorado and are running up
against the new law.
F. p. Smith. saleman, was ar
rested at Walsenburg and told the
sheriff he was getting so he rather
liked 1t, since he was arrested every
place he went.
A salesman was also arrested in
Las Animas county and fined be-
fore Justice of the peace, and the
case has been taken up to the dis
trict court on the ground of the un-
constitutionality of the act.
Judge Henry Hunter heard the
case this week and the Walsenburg
case has been continued until Judge
Hunters decision is announced.

HOW IATAN LOST IT'S BEER

The enforcement of the prohibi-
tory law: IN Kansas has produced an
unexpected drought in the neighbor-
hood Of fatan, Platte county, Mis-
souri,. The Missouri town lost its
supply Oeslfquor a week ago, when
the sheri9 Of AtchisOn county crossed

the railroad ran along the bank of
the Missouri river and 1atan was a
river town. At was at the point of a
great bend In the stream. One day
the Missouri river took the short cut,
made new channel and left Iatan
two miles inland. Platte county
thought It had acquired more terri
troy and the new addition west of
Iatan was named Cow island. Kan
sas refused to cede jurisdiction and
the courts decided that Cow belonged

established In the old river bed In
Kansas territory and the Missourians

walking few hundred yards from

Our Trip

The editor returned Wednesday
morning from his eastern trip feel
ing much improved by the little va
cation.
While enroute we observed that
the corn and wheat of central and
western Kansas was very poor and
we were also informed that many
of the wheat growers of Oklahoma,
where land is very hign and sup
posed to be the best for wheat, will
not get their seed back this year.
in Illinois and Iowa the flud stage
has not passed as yet, hundreds OF
acres of corn being under water up
on our return Corn is just coming
up in many places. In Others 1t Is
from six inches to foot in height.
Eastern farmers are very much dis
couraged.
In southern Michigan the peach
crop will be total failure. and this
is true of all other fruits except ap-
pies The sudden and severe freeze
of last October caught the trees be-
fore the sap had gone down and
killed them. Thousands of acres are
being cut down and replanted as
fast as help can be secured to do the
work.
In Chicago the business institu-
tions already feel the effects of the
poor crops, everything being unusu.
ally dull for this time of the season.

VOLUME XI.
In MenlOrianl

The truth of the old saying
Death leaves a shining mark" was
verified last when the little twin
daughters of Mr.. and Mrs. Richard
Williams were called by the death
angel. Violet died on Thursday aft
efnOOn. From that time little Viney
seemed to fade as though pining for
her other self. On Saturday evening
the plying angel laid his icy fingers
on her brow and told her she might
go to join the twin sister of her
soul. The little ones were five
months old. They were laid to rest
In one casket on Sunday. June 23rd.
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams have the
sympathy of the whole community
In their double bereavement
Our God in Heaven from that holy
place
To each of us an angel guide has
given.
But mothers of dead children have
more grace,
For they give angels to their God
and Heaven.
How can mothers heart feel cold
or weary,
Knowing her dearer self, safe
happy, warm?
How can she feel her road too dark
or dreary.
Who knows her treasures shelter
ed from the storm?
She knows that when the mighty
angels raise,
Chorus in Heaven, one little silver
tone,
Is hers forever. that one little praise
One little happy voice is all her
own.
We may not see her sacred crown of
honor,
But all the angels, fitting to and
fro,
Pause, smiling as they pass they
look upon her.
AS mother of an angel whom they
know.
All! saints in Heaven may pray with
earnest will,
And pity for their weak and erring
brother.
Yet there is prayer in Heaven more
tender still,
The little children pleading for
their mother.
