CHILD KIDNAPPED
Little May Swearinger Carried
into Country and Left

Five-year.old May Swearinger,
daughter of Mrs. Harvey Swearinger,
was kidnapped by an unknown man
last Thursday evening and carried
out into the country, left in dry
irrigating ditch where she slept al
night and finally found her way back
home in the middle of the afternoon
the next day.
The Swearingers, mother and little
daughter, live in the rooming house
just west of the Exchange hotel. At
about O'Clock in the evening the
little girl was playing in buggy in
front of the Mcconnell T. Sexson
livery barn when man stopped and
talked to her and then picked her
up and carried her away. With
promises of candy the child was kept
fqufet and later the man did stop at
a grocery store and buy some candy.
according to the little girls story.
Some place out in the country the
man left the child in ditch telling
her to wait until he returned when
he would bring something more to
eat. Waiting the child went to
sleep and did not awaken again until
long after daylight the next morning
when she picked her way back to the
city and finally to her mothers
home. The man had not returned.
The child could furnish only
meagre description of the man who
carried her away, but she said he
talked like Mexican. The officers
investigating the case found that a
Mexican had stopped at the East
Side grocery store Thursday evening
and had bought some candy, but
nothing was seen of a child with
him.
The sheriff's force searched the
city and nearby country nearly all
night between Thursday and Friday
for the child and were considerably
mystitied wien no trace Of her could
be found. The mystery surrounding
the kidnapping Is even deeper now
that the child has returned and told
her Storu.
1t was at first thought that the
father of the girl, who left here on
July Fourth and has not since then
been in touch with his family. might
have had something to do with the
case, but the return of the child and
her story rather indicate that there
were other motives for the carrying
away of the little girl.
The child was put under physi-
cans care upon her return but barr
ing a slight attack of tonsilitis de-
veloped from the exposure no harm
had befallen her.

Elsie Lyster Hurt.

Elsie Lyster, the ten-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. N.
Lyster was the victim of an accident
that narrowly escaped being fatal.
Ten days ago she was thrown from a
horse while riding with two neighbor
girls, Misses Beu,ah and Lillian
Laughery. The three girls we're
riding the same horse and all we're
thrown, the other two being badly
bruised. Elsie was unconscious for
several DAYS with concussion of the
brain and had her collar bone broken
but is recovering nicely now.

We REFUSE MONEY
This is Our Holiday at Eldorado
Springs

Don't bring any money to the
Tribune office today. This is not a
good day for it. There will be no.
body there to hang on to it. The
reason for this is that everybody,
from the office cat down to the
editor, will be at Eldorado Springs,
doing crazy stairways, chuting the
chutas, waking the chasm, bathing
in the Icy cold water and doing other
foolish stunts that would be the un-
doing of less hardy lot than the
hTlihuns force and correspondents.
This u The day Of the annual e.
Ecossion xnd outin6 1oas e thsa 6sees Ut
the correspondents. Today every
body on the regular force of the paper
will he the servants OF the country
correspondents and see that they
have the time Of the year.
1t will be formidable looking
crowd that will gather in the private
car of the Tribune on the special ex-
cursion train on the Colorado &
Southern which leaves Greeley at
Z 30 and comes back when the axcur-
sionists are tired enough to want to
come home. There will be about
forty persons In the party who di-
rectly contribute to the making of
the paper every week. That Is quite
force for one paper. But it takes
lots OF people to make a good paper.
The more people the better the
paper. This is why the Tribune is
good paper and because it appre-
ciates the assistance rendered by its
country correspondents the wheels OF
progress in the office are stopped to-
day that all these people may have
a good time together.

EDirox GAZETTE:
Will you kindly advise me

mixture to use with Bermuda to

FRANK TOWNSEND,
kilmichael. Miss.
Answer by Prof. w. X. Per-
kins. Agricultural College. Miss:
The only plants that would
recommend for your meadow
would be bur. white or red clo-
yer: and would add these more
for the purpose OF improving the
growth Of grass or for furnish
ing early spring grazing than
for the clovers themselves.
Bur clover would probably be
the best, as it grows especially
we'll on rich land when properly
drained and is very sure crop
when once csta blished on land.
An objection to it. however. ~
that il natures aud dies down in
May and the heavy growth left
on the ground will damage the
quality Of the first cutting of
hay, If it is intended for market.
The other clovcrs mentioned are
not open to this objection. and
would add some value to the hay
crop, but this growth would
very likely be 50 small as to be
of little value.

REACHES HIS MAJORITY.
Harry Watts Of Des Moines Twenty
One Years Of Age Last Monday.

Every boy looks forward TO the
time when he will be twenty-one with
a great deal of interest; and IL really
is quite en- event in any young mans
life. Harry Watts reached that point
last Monday, and as he couldn't be
at home his father Mr.. Frank s..
Watts went down TO Des Moines Sat
urday to show his interest in the
event and appreciation of the boys
success in u business way. This re-
minded us that Harry and The Repub-
lican are just about the same age;
so we turned back To the first volume
of our files and in the sixth issue OF
the paper dated January 28, 1856 we
find the following reference To his
arrival In Audubon which we think
will be read with interest:
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Watts are re-
joicing over the advent OF u twelve.

nourishment and hannels ut their
pleasant home I'M Hubbard Row last
Thursday morning. Mr.. Watts was
so overioyed that he invited his
gentleman friends TO partake OF some
pure HAVANA filed cigars Ia honor
OF the happy event. OF course the
invitation was duly honored, and
accompanied by a host of we'll wishes
for the little stranger, among which
was one that he might be blessed with
brothers and sisters in abundance.
All parties are doing nicely and The

When Rev. a. II. GIANT received a
letter last Monday from his brother

ed to hear that his mother had passed
away. But such was the case, her
death having occurred a week before.
Though 20 years of age she was in
good health until stricken vito hem
orrhage of the brain. She was In
her usual health when she retired but
in the nighttime her son heard a
signal of distress and reached her
bedside in time to hear u last word
when she sank into unconsciousness,
and passed away "a hours later. She
was the mother Of Is children, 10 of
whom are living. Five of her sons
and two of her stepsons are ministers
sof the gospel. When Mr.. Grant and
his son Raymond made her a visit In
the summer OF 1905, they had u re.
union OF the family and So were
present, the whole number Of children
and grand children numbering
about 40. She still lived in the old
home where her children were born
and reared and was buried in the
old churchyard only a short distance
away. Mr.. Grant had hoped that he
might visit her again and was plann-
ing TO go next summer, but she has
gone to her reward after a long life
OF devoted service In the church OF
God.

Remembered His Mother

Sometime last fall Arthur Dixon,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Dixon, left
for the south to see the country and
find employment for the winter. At
present he is working in a carriage
factory in McDonough, Georgia. On
Saturday his mother was surprised
and delighted to receive a box Of
beautiful flowers, consisting OF vio-
lets, lilies and ferns that Arthur had
picked in the woods, which indicates
the kind OF weather they are having
down there. 1t is also a good recon-
mendation for a young man to remem-
Der his mother when he is away from
home.

LAND BOOM CONTINUES.
South Dakota Increasing In Wealth
and importance.

An idea OF the great boom in farm
lands in the north.central portion Of
South Dakota car be gained by the
statement that during the past year
an aggregate OF l,004 quarter sections
Of farm lands were transferred in
Faux county alone. During the
same period 100 artesian wells were
drilled in that county. Faux county
now has a total OF 27S such wells,
which are dotting the prairie over
with little lakes, furnishing in abund-
ant supply OF water for stock and
other purposes.
One thousand four quarters equal
two hundred Atty one sections or
seven townships. According to these
figures nearly one half the county
changed hands the last year. There
are still fine opportunities in South
Dakota TO invest and make good
money.
