Elizabeth Has Bad Storm.

Elizabeth was visited by the
worst hail and rain storm in its
history Wednesday afternoon last
week. The lower part of town
was flooded, trees were stripped
of their foliage, gardens pounded
into the ground and considerable
poultry killed; cellars were flooded
and the floor of Aldinger's sa-
loon covered with water. The
storm continued for more than an
hour. 1t seems to have been con-
fined to the town and immediate
vicinity, the surrounding country
being little damaged.
During a rain storm the same
evening c. w. Reeds house was
struck by lightning and his son
Hunter rendered unconscious but
not seriously injured.
The same afternoon a destruc-
tive hail and rain storm struck

Work for the Fair.

There are but three weeks now
in which to prepare something
for the fair and every farmer
and stockman, housewife and
hcusemaid who expects to attend

hibition, and even if you should

amply repay you for your trouble.

premiums offered by the fair,
fully 800 worth of special prem
iums are offered by the business
men and citizens of Ebert, Kio-

Clean Up the Streets.

There will be many strangers
in Ebert fair week and some of
them will be here looking for a
location. 1t, therefore, behooves
us to have the town look as clean
and inviting as possible. Ordi-
narily our streets are smooth and
clean and free from rubbish and
weeds, but such is not the case at
present, and the Tribune would
suggest that all our citizens clean
up the streets and alleys adjoin-
ing their property before fair
week. The results will be well
worth the trouble, and it will be
a source of satisfaction for all to
have our town present as clean
and inviting an appearance as
possible. Let us have a general
cleaning up.

about steady, calves 25 to so cents
lower. The supply today is 25,-
200 head, largest run this fall,
market shading downwards on all
kinds, although there is no break
OF consequence. A good demand
from outside butchers has been a
big help to the trade lately, and
also promises well for immediate
future. The fall business is at
Its zenith Just now, opinion fav-
orlng lighter receipts after the

Kansas and Oklahoma business is
moving earlier this season than

sIJou BASIN AND PEYToN.

Sept. II. Mrs. D. M. Holden
of Colorado Springs, who has
been visiting her son Gopher and
family, has returned home.
Earl Bowling of La Junta was
Basin visitor one day last week.
D. A. Cox and family of Sidney
and Alta Petefish were visiting at
the Charles Cannon home near
Calhan Friday.
Gopher Holden had valuable
colt badly cut up in a wire fence
Saturday. /.
F. Dininny has been quite sick
for the last two weeks, but is re-
ported to be better.
Miss Lettie Hopkins of Hygiene
is visiting at the Thorp home on
Big Sandy.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. o. Phillips
have returned to the Basin from
lengthy sojourn at Long Beach,
Cal. They are both improved in
health.
The home of j. w. johnson of
Big Sandy was entirely destroyed
by fire on Tuesday, Sept. 3, by
the explosion of the kitchen stove,
and Miss Murl Ballman, the Ia
year-old step-daughter of c. E.
Hartman, who was doing the
cooking, was so badly burned she
died the next day. Much mys-
terry surrounds the cause of the
explosion, since the unfortunate
girl, during brief period of con-
sciousness, insisted that she did
: not pour kerosene in the stove.
1t is believed that, in some un-
known way, a small quantity of
dynamite or powder became mix
ed with the coal, which the girl
put in the stove, thus causing the
explosion. She was buried near
Calhan last Thursday. Her un-
timely departure brings sorrow to
us all, but those who feel it most
keenly are the father, mother,
brother and three sisters, who are
left to mourn her loss. They have
the sympathy of the community.

Random Thoughts

The secret of the Elbert "Old timer s.
ability to forecast the weather has leak
ed out. Recently he has been able with
an exactitude not equaled by the best
barometers to tell his neighbors twenty
four and some times thirty-six hours
ahead what weather to expect. His pre-.
dictions have been OF great benefit to
farmers. Now it is learned that he gets
his tips from his two pigs. In dry
weather the tails of the pigs have one
curl, in wet weather two curls, and just
before rain their tails hang limp.
The life of the country postmaster is
strenuous these days. Congress is try
ness in general and the result is that the
country postmaster has many new duties
to perform. Besides the order requiring
the weighing of all mail for certain
period Of time, an order has been sent
out, which went into effect Sept. l, re.
quiring statement as to how many peo-
pie send and receive mail through each
office; number of patrons having mail de
livered by carrier to private boxes on
star routes; number of daily papers re-
ceived on star routes; amount OF stamps
Cancelled each quarter.
Trust busting has been going on for
seven years and il any private citizen in
this whole broad land has received any
benefit from it-if the price of any one
trust made article has been reduced by
the trust-busting which has so delighted
the country-then the market reports do
not disclose the fact. On the other
band, everything we eat, everything we
drink, everything we wear, everything
we use, is controlled by trust, ard that
prices are going higher every week is
well understood by everybody. A new
trust is organized every day, while the
government bats its eyes in owlish stup
idity and does nothing Exchange.
We sympathize with Editor Murray OF
the Banner at Elizabeth over the de
struction by the hail storm of his fine
patch of tomatoes. With tomatoes at
~ cents pound at the grocery store
there must be considerable satisfaction
IN being able to go into ones own garden
and picking 10 or % cents worth Of nice
red ripe ones for supper, and that's the
privilege Bro Murray had for two or
three weeks previous to the hail storm
on Sept. 4, which ruined his garden.
Hope you have better luck next summer,
Bro. Murray.

Just Now.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 27.-Effect-
i've war, It Is announced, Is being waged
against the Black Hand throughout
Pennsylvania by the State constabu-
larry, and the indications are that the
troops will soon rid the Commonwealth
of its murderous organizations. The
State police authorities are in posses
sion of information that Black Hand
operations are directed from central
headquarters in New York, and that
the agents actually engaged in he
work of intimidation are not all foreign
ers. some Americans being implicated.
For several months the State police
department has been directing its at
tention largely to these operations and
today II is said to be in possession of
a mass of information which will lead
to the arrest and conviction of the
ring leaders.
More than fifty arrests have been
made by the State police in the last
six months in connection with Black
Hand operations. Nearly all these per-
sons have been fined or imprisoned.
