The bout between Jim Rose and
Kid Milton. took place in the athle-
tic hall last Friday evening before
a good sized crowd. and was one of
the best exhibitions of the kind ever
witnessed in Swink. The men mix
ed things from the start. and kept it
up for the full fifteen rounds that
the bout was scheduled to go. Rose
was given the decision in the last
Inning" as in his batting" and
cleverness all the way through he
far out-classed his colored opponent.
Negotiations are now under way to
arrange for meeting between Rose
and Fred krouse, of Rocky Ford.
to take place at some early date.
The public schools of Swink will
open for the winter term on Mon
day, September 9th. Superintendent
Chas. Brown, who SO ably conducted
the schools last year will be in charge
again this year. and Ethel La Shier,
Virginia La Shier and Miss Grace
Davis. of La Junta. will fill the same
positions as formerly. An addition
al teacher will be employed this
year. which is necessitated by the
increase in the school population.
Several teachers have been employ
ed to fill the new position. but all
have resigned, to accept a more lu-
crative school, and up to this time
we have been unable to learn the
name of the new teacher.
W. f. Thatcher expects to have
the church completed and ready for
the dedication services by Septem-
Der 18th. No definite arrange
ments have been made as yet as to
who will dedicate the structure, but
it is hoped to have either Governor
Buchtel or Bishop Warren officiate.
With the exception of about $500.
all the money has been subscribed
for. and it is the earnest wish of the
membership to raise this small
amount before the dedication takes
place. and thus do away with the US
ual nuisance of raising moneJ on
that day. Any donation will be
thankfully received by the church
board. and it is to be hoped that all
will cheerfully help all they can be-
tween now and dedication day.
