La Junta tribune., 1907-04-20
Coming to /. Juots rhe.,er.

Home Sweet Home" one of
those good, substantial rural comedy
dramas, will be the bill at the La
Junta Theater next Friday, April
26th. The play is new and very
original. including all the elements
of the comedy drama that are pleas
ing to the show-goer, yet none of the
worn-out features are shown.
The company presenting this play
is one of much more than ordinary
ability. and included in the cast are
several well known vaudeville ar
lists who will be seen in new and
pleasing specialties.
Home Sweet Home" is play
that pleases old and young. Prices,
25 cents. 35 cents, and 80 cents.

Gun Club seiee. New Grounds.

The duck season being over. the
gun club members are expecting a
revival of interest in trap shooting.
The committee on selecting new
grounds north of the new water
works pump house, have staked out
the firing points and space for the
trap. The pit will be large enough
to accommodate the trap boys with
out being cramped for room. The
new trap house will be a large one,
with room to store about $500 tar
gets. These will be in easy reach of
the trapper. and with the blackbird
trap. can be thrown very fast.
The gun club intends 10 bring at
least one shoot of the Arkansas Val
ley League to La Junta, and as from
forty to two hundred shooters at
tend these shoots, it is figured that
the hardware men and hotels will
get a share Of the profit. while the
club will get the fun and the bal
ance. The Chicago club, since Feb
ruary I'd, has thrown SO, ,285 targets.
The clubs throw targets at a cent
each, and this means $982.85 for the
club and s2.948.55 for the ammu-
milton man. Our hardware men can
see that the profit part is no dream.
Three new members were admit
ted last Wednesday. and there were
four shooters out for practice.
Bowen and Ritter tied on twenty-one
out Of twenty-five; Williams. q new
man, got eleven out of fifteen, and
the other new man eight out of ten.
We hope to have the next shoot
over the new grounds. which are
level. with a sky background, and
nave none Of the objections which
the old grounds have. They are five
blocks closer to the pcstoffice. yet
far enough away to shoot all day
and not disturb any one. Hitching
posts will be placed and camp chairs
procured. gun racks put up. and it
is hoped that by early fall we can
erect small one or two room club
house. We are far behind Rocky

Death Of Park Mcooosid.

Parker Mcdonald was born Sep
tember Is, 1853, in the vicinity of
st. Marys, Ohio. He died on April
16, 1907. after patient and per-
sistent battle against the cancerous
growth which made its relentless
grasp about five years ago. Experts
twice operated upon the source of
trouble but were unable to fathom
the depths which the disease had
already appropriated.
Most of Mr.. McDonald's life was
spent in the state of Ohio where he
was diligent in the various pursuits
by which he sought his livelihood.
While still under the age limit he
became an active worker in religious
matters, and the faith of early years
clung to him to the last. He was
especially fond of those old time
hymns: There Is a Gate That
Stands Ajar." and Safe In the
Arms of Jesus"
In 1875 Mr.. Mcdonald was united
in marriage to Miss Carlisle Davis,
who survives the deceased. To
them were born four children, Alb
bic Mcdonald. Mrs. Elizabeth Longs
worth, Samuel Mcdonald and Mrs.
Belle Gillette, all of this city. Four
grandchildren also were born to
him. Paul Gillette, Arthur Mcdonald,
Eleanor Longsworth, and Arthur
Longsworth, the latter deceased.
Mr.. Mcdonald was the sixth child
in . family Of eight children. OF
these Mrs. Niche of ROCKY Ford,
and S. A. Mcdonald of Denver, at
tended the funeral.
About five years ago Mr.. McDon-
aid with his family removed to La
yunta where they have since resided.
During these years he has been en-
gagged chiefly in real estate, loans
and insurance. As an Industrious,
optimistic, and thrifty citizen, he
has given his hand to those enter
prises looking to the permanent
growth and prosperity of the COM
nunity.
The funeral fervice was held at
The family residence on First street,
Thursday. by Revs. w. /. Daven-
port Of Rocky Ford. and Conrad
Bluhm of this city. The remains
Ne at rest in Riverview Cemetery.

piled with fire escapes, as required by
law, and we earnestly urge that the
city authorities of the city OF La
Iunta at once compel the proprietors
or owners OF these buildings to com
ply with the law in that respect.
The wards at the county poor farm
wc found in excellent shape md
cleanly. and the institution apparently
conducted in proper shape.
The county Jail in the city OF La
Junta is wholly inadequate and in
sufficient to meet the demands OF this
growing county, and the County
Commissioners should at once enlarge
said jail and supply it with proper
facilities so that the inmates and
prisoners may be properly cared for.
We found that in number of ~
stances i, has been necessary for the
sheriff OF this county to take prison
ers and have them cared for in the
county OF Pueblo and elsewhere.
which is certainly unwisc from bus.
mess standpoint. as the keeping OF
prisoners outside OF the county Is
much more expensive than maintain
ing them here. We also found that
the county jail is not supplied with
wholesome water for drinking pur
poses, and we recommend that this
deficiency be obviatcd.
We further found upon investigation
that The Atchison. Topeka & Santa
Fc Railway Company has not estab-
lishcd any means OF protecting the
crossings OF the public highway at
either the east or west end OF rs
yards in the city OF La Junta. Each
of these crossings is certainly very
dangerous. as the public are compcil-
ed 10 and do use these highways TO
a great extent each day and night.
To longer leave these crossings IN
their present condition is in our
Judgment almost criminal. and we mr.
gently recommend to the authorities
Of the city of La Junta that they at
once take such steps as VIII compel
this company TO place lights and
flapmcn at these two crossings. ana
we call upon the company to perform
its duty to the public in this respect
We further recommend that ne
Atchison. Topeka & Santa re Kali
way Company and the city authori-
ties open up Bradish avenue across
the railroad tracks at grade.
We are Of the opinion that the san
itary conditions IN the county S"'
house are insufficient. and recon-
mend the installation of an addition
al closet therein.
We found that in many instances
aldermen and other city officials IN
citios and towns in this county have
heretofore and now are engaged IN
furnishing supplies to their respective
cities and towns Of which they are
such officials. This was substantial
" covered by your instructions to us,
and your suggestion that we call at
tention to this fact. and if in our
opinion such acts were not with the
intent of cheating the public, but more
as a matter of convenience. we do
not return indictments. but call your
honor's attention thereto. and recon-
mend that such practice cease. This
we found to be true. and earnestly
recommend, and even warn such Off

GRAND JURY REPORT.
No Indictments Returned but Several
Recommendations Made for the
Welfare OF ote.o County.

The grand jury summoned by
Judge Rizer was in session from
Tuesday. April 9th until Saturday.
April 18th. 1t was composed of the
following residents of Otero county:
r. F. Herndon. foreman; j. X.
Wells. S. r. Mendelson. C. E. Veasie,
A. B. Corbin, ]. w. Sherman, j. T.
Updike. G. C. Washburn, H. B. Dye,
c. H. Green. Jeter Arnold. Charles
Recker.. About twenty witnesses
were examined during the week, but
no indictments were returned. The
report, which makes several recon-
mendations, is as follows:
To the Honorable J. E. Rizer, Judge
of the Tenth Judicial District, with
i'll and for Otero County:
The undersigned were on Tuesday,
the 9th day of April, A. d. 1907. call
ed together by your honor and i'm
panelled As grand jury. Under your
instructions certain matters were sub
mitted to MS for investigation. Be-
sides these matters we took up sew
eral matters pertaining to alleged
coal stealing from The Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe Railway Company
IN this city, and while we are fully
persuaded that such stealing did oc-
cur, yet the grand jury was not able
to ferret out sufficient evidence ir.
our opinion warrant the return %
an indictment against the parties
suspected, or anyone else.
The grand jury visited number OF
public buildings. including schools,
county jail. poor farm, city jail, ho-
tells and rooming houses. The public
schools visited were in the cities Of
La Junta and Rocky Ford. The lat
ter place we found the school build
ings in excellent condition, except
that they are not connected with the
sewer system, and we earnestly rec
ommeud that the directors of the dis
t-icts in Rocky Ford at once make
such connection. In La Junta we
found the school buildings in excel
lent condition, except in the west side
school the water closet is in bad
shape, and the odors arising therefrom
are certainly delcterious to the health
of the children attending this schooI.
We earnestly urge that the directors
at once remove this closet or put u
in sanitary condition i,
We further found that the several
school buildings in the city of La
Junta are not supplied with adequate
wholesome water. bnt are depending
" holly upon city water for drinking
purposes. We recommend that the
directors Of said school district sup
ply each school with a cistern or some
means of good water. /,
We found that the Harvey Hotel

the Baggs rooming house. IN the CITY
of La Junta, were not properly sup

Oklahoma City, Ok, June 11.--ln
the senatorial race nobody questions
that Robert l. owen, on the Indian
territory side Of the state, has won
by an immense plurality over Nor
ton Rutherford and Harry Furman.
The vote for Owen on the Oklahoma
side probably will be much larger
than the vote received BY any single
Oklahoma candidate.
Reports from different parts OF the
state almost without exception point
to the nomination Of Roy v. Hoffman
Of Chandler, as the west side nom
lnes for United States senator. From
a state wide standpoint, It is difficult
at this time to determine whether M.
L. Turner Of Oklahoma City, or y.
r. Gore, Of Lawton, is second to Hoff'

several weeks ago that from money

In the Detroit Free Press is an
article on famous horses, written by
r. s. Post, in which appears these
references to horses now owned in
this city:
Antevolo. the Electioneer stallion,
which cost George s. Davis, Of this
city $35, 900 in the boom days Of the
trotter, was the premier at the Clair
view farm for some years and then
went away, has since been at Abilene,
Kas., where he is now as vigorous as
a two-year-old. DR.. H. G. Wann,
who was farm superintendent for MIR,
Davis, bought AntevolO in 1894, and
has done very well with him since.
"While Antevolo is far from great
sire some allowance must be made
for his opportunities" writes DR..
Wann. who Is favorably known
among those who had the good
fortune to become well acquainted
with him in Detroit, "About the
time his youngsters were in shape to
be brought out was practicipg great
economy in an effort to help out one
of the best men on earth. Then came
the slump in values and all efforts
toward development stopped"
Antevolo earned sS7.sOO in three
years at Clairyiew and all told has
earned on track and farm $4,000
He was the first four-year-old stallion
to beat $500, his mark Of 2:19l being
sensation ct the time. We was

About Some
Abilene Horses

Billy the Kid, is not a very euphon-
ious name for trotter Of royal line
age, but that is what has happe ned
in the instance Of an aged gelding
taking his daily work on the Pontiac
track under the skillful handling OF
James E. Burns. Asked the breeding
Of the geiding, Burns said that be
was by -Antevolo and that his dam
was the second dam Of Searchlight,
2:03s, that the colt had been sold as a
three-ycar-old by the Clairview farm
to Maurice Mcmillan and that was ali
he knew.
DR.. Wann came to the rescue and
It turns out that Billy the Kid is q
well-bred gelding, and that he is
really masquerading, for his own
name has been forgotten. Foaled in
1895 at Clairview the gelding was
named Bunker Hill and registered.
No. 26,0SO. By Antevolo, 2:19l,
Bunker Hill was out Of Hattie Mapes,
2:SS, by Abdallah Star, dam Of Judge
Woolsey, 2;21i, Mapoline 1924, and
Billy the Kid 2;24i; grand dam Of
Searchlight, 9:0St; and four Others
better than 2:S0. The second dam,
Fannie Mapes, Abdallah l6, was the
dam Of jerome Eddy, 2:16, Edmore,
1924, and seven sons, the sires Of
Ga trotters and PAGERS, and the dams
Of eight.
Billy the Kid was one Of the late
cOmers in the trOtting game for he is
now thirteen and at his best. A dis
appointment when young he passed
from one TO another and was hauling
a delivery wagon out in Pontiac when
somebody found out that be wss
hard one TO head down the road.
Then they took him to the matinees
where be made good and on his last
years form he looks as though he
would be useful in the shortship cir
cult where be will race this year.
