Behymer, who represents the Indiana
capital being an experienced trolley line
builder, and he and his partners are
strongly impressed with the great op-
portunities Of a line in this valley. There
are three good offers of ample cheap
power for the line, two between Canon
City and Florence, and q third on Horse
Creek north Of La Junta- The latter
proposition can furnish an immense
power and return the water without any
loss Whatever to the irrigators, and 10

field working west from La Junta, and

A Fortunate Capture.

Sheriff Thomas arrested two young
men, James Wesley and Pete Wesley. ON
a charge Of holding up Mexican on the
Central Ranch of the American Beet
Sugar Company and relieving him Of
some nine dollars or more. The sheriff
also found a gold watch and q pair Of
gold eye glasses whish proved to be the
property Of Paul Nye, living on the cid
Norris place just west Of Granada. Yves
house had been broken into while the
family were at Granada and q number
Of articles stolen therefrom, all of whish
were recovered. The burglars had CON-
cssled some OF their booty about q half
mile east OF Granada. To explain the
possession Of 20 much booty the burg
lars confessed that they had recently
burglarised a store near Fountain, Colo.
Sheriff Thomas has since been in com
municstion with the owner Of the
burglarized store and has restored them
considerable Of their lest property.
These criminals also confessed to steal
ing several tools from the Trailer &
Downer Machine shop in Lamar, which
said tools were recovered and restored
to owners. On Tuesday the offenders
were arranged before Justice Pike on
the charge Of burglarzing the dwelling
Of Paul Nye, above mentioned, and were
each bound over to district court in
sum Of five hundred dollars. While
somewhat amateurish in their methods
it is quite evident tina, these young men
had chosen career as professional
burglars, and the fact that they bore
the honored name OF Wesley seemed to
have no restraining influence on their
conduct.

Bryan Willing But Not Anxious

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 14.-Wil- liam J. Bryan will accept the Democratic nomination for presi dent in 1908, but he will not ask for nor make a fight for it. He says that for year or more he has been pressed to answer the question: Will you accept the nominations" and he believes the public is entitled to an an swer and to know the position he occupies. The question that ought to weigh most, he says, is whether his nomination will strengthen the Democratic par ty more than the nomination of someone else. Not only will he not seek or ask for the nomina tiOn, but he will not assume to decide the question of availabil- ity, and if the prize falls to an other, he will not be disappoint- ed nor disgruntled. At the same time, he denies that he has waited this long in a desire to see whom the Republicans are likely to nominate, or to ascer tain the chances of victory.

A great many people do not real ize the benefits and uses to which day current could be put. Every coffee mill, every fan, every printing press, and every sausage mill could be run by electricity, and the owner would not be everlastingly fixing his gasoline engine or wearing his arms off either. There ought to be way to make it pay, and there will be. We are gradually going to do what we ought to do.

Federal Grand Jury AdiOurns

TeXarkana, Nov. 1.-The feder- al grand jury completed it's labors this morning and was discharged by the court, after being thanked for the services performed for the federal government. The grand jury returned nineteen in, ditements. Mir. Joe Reeves of Camden was foreman of the grand jury and said in some re- spects it was remarkable. There was twenty-one members to the jury and they were at work four days. Every member was pres ent to answer to his name at every roll call. This was unusual, and another feature worthy of commendation was the fact that during the entire time the grand jury was together there was not a profane word uttered, or any thing said that could not have been said in the presence of ladies.
 The court has been occupied withthe trial of the case of A.. H. Winn against the Iron Noun tain Lumber Co. since yesterday at noon. There is a suit for alleg- ed breach Of contract. The taking of testimony has not yet been completed.
 The outlook now is that the court will be in session until the middle or latter part of next week. Work has been mapped out for the remainder of this week and for the first of next.

Sweet. A Teddy bear
 In a rocking chair, And garments scattered wids; And a baby sweet. With pink. wee feet. All snuggled sleepy-e The soothing croon, An old old tune And rockers rhythmic squeak, And a twisted chair Thrown here and there, Where babe played hide and seek. Oh. the world is wide, But the sleepy-eyed Wee babes with locks of gold Are better far
 Than jewels are. Or treasures vaults enfold. And the soothing croon Of an old. old tune. That the rocking mother sings. Falls sweet and clear On the baby's ear As the sweep of an angels wings
