FOR LIFETIME

Limit for the Foul Murder
Of Aged Ranchman.

Sylvester Craig, the 19-year-
old murderer of Harry Potts, an
aged ranchman residing near Ag-
ate, last spring, got a life SEN
tence in district court at Kiowa
Saturday, the jury bringing in a
verdict of murder in the first de-
gree. The case was given to the
jury at 3 p. M, and about 10
O'Clock the jury agreed on ver-
dict after balloting but three
times. The first ballot stood 8 to
a for conviction and the second
II to l. Craig was brought into
court and sentenced by Judge
Morris to confinement in the pen
itentiary at Canon City during
the remainder of his natural life.
He was taken to the pen Sunday.
The murder was a particularly
brutal one. The body of Potts
was found in a well on the place,
the head beaten into a pulp.

ey. Suspicion pointed toward
him and he was traced to Kansas

Quoted the defense. The jury
was as follows: Fred Albin, F.
C. Albus, c. f. Clark, B. F. Cook,

The sneerer would bite if he was not

the ranks of savagery. He yet remains
one of the worst savages, however his

whenever the savage who indulges in it

With This II is Quite Possible to Be

Small Expense.

The woman who wants to dress
well and modishly on a moderate al
lowance must follow a well-defined
plan. She should first take account of
the present articles in her wardrobe,
then decide on what she will need to
enable her to look well turned out on
all occasions for the coming season.
Her first list will be apt to be far too
long and costly for her resources. but
by cutting off nonessentials and man
aging for combinations that will fit in
with her several gowns or suits, con-
siderable variety of effect will be pos
sible with very limited number of
independent toilets.
This cutting of the coat to suit
the cloth" need not result in any ap-
parent economy; on the contrary, it
often produces distinct gain in style
and individuality, but the woman who
practices it must be able to say mo"
to her inclinations when their indul-
gence clashes with her plan, and she
must understand her limitations. Her
color range should be quite limited.

to the demands of her environment.
She cannot afford to indulge in freak
fashions or in extremes of any sort,
but she should take advantage of
every bit of up-to-date modishness in
