De SAW A GHOST
Maybe It Was : Live Nan in


q Was Fred Payton seeing ghosts
when he went home Saturday night
from the moving picture show, or
was there actually man wearing a
long, white night gown and with
chains on his feet hobbling down
Twelfth avenue?
Payton, who runs the picture ma
chine In, Joe Goshert's moving pic
ture show, saws he saw something of
that kind, but was not curious
enough about 1t to take chances on
making a personal investigation. He
says the figure, whatever It. might
be. was shuffiinR along with some
difficulty In the middle of the street.
He could plainly hear chains rat
tling. He says the thought entered
his mind that 1t might have been a
prisoner that had escaped from an
offlcer. but he could not account for
the night gown.
Sunday Payton notified Constable
T. Fl. Roseman Of the strange affair,
and Mr.. Roseman in turn notified
Sheriff FIorance, but so far nothing
has been heard Of the man In the
peculiar garb.

Coal Development.

Fully 800. 600 has been spent the
past year in developing the new coal
field in the southern part of this
county. The field lies about six or
eight miles west of Fort Lupton.
This expenditure has all been for
the sinking Of shafts and other de-
velopment work and does not in
clude the establishment of four new
coal towns, Dacona, Fredericks,
Firestone and Evans. A new popu-
lation Of about l 200 persons in that
part of the county has been the re-
suit. Each of the towns, except
Evans has separate postoftice, and
schools are now being built there.
One mine is already shipping coal
and others are almost at that point.

Case of Importance.

A new phase has developed in the
contest In reference to the use Of
water for power purposes in Middle
Boulder creek, over the possession Of
which the Eastern Colorado Power
company, the Wolf Tongue Mining
company, Hal Sayre and the Rocky
Mountain National Bank of Central
City are contesting.
Judge Platt Rogers and his broth.
er, Judge George Rogers of Denver,
who own a large tract in the canon,
have entered the fight, and claim
that no company has the right to
come in and appropriate any of the
water OF the creek for power pur-
poses, but that all the water whether
flood water or otherwise, should, un-
der the common law. be allowed to
run down through the canon, except
such as Is to be used for domestic
and irrigating purposes.
If this contention is upheld, sew
eral companies which use water
power In the mountains may be forced
out of business. III the common law
In this respect applies to the Pacific
slope, many million dollars invested
in power plants there will have been
wasted.

Surprise Party.

A surprise patry was planned and
successfully carried out last Tuesday
evening by Misses Amanda Carpenter
and Velma Paine In honor Of Miss
Bessie Blair. Miss Blair was taken
for ride In the country and return
ing in the evening found assembled
at her home about thirty young
friends. Various amusements were
provided, among them being pro-
gressive conversation, when the boys
prog from one cosy corner to
another and found each maiden more
charming than the one before.
The affair was leap year party
and the young men we're informed
on their invitations that young
lady would call for them at the ap-
pointed hour. The young men then
drew lots to decide which girl they
would escort home. A nice repasb
was served during the evening.

sample of what may be done in that
Patient Escapes Hospital.

The ghost seen near the corner Of
Twelfth avenue and Tenth street.
last Saturday evening has been nsar
enough laid not to cause any more
uneasiness. The white robed figure
seen by Fred Payton is supposed to
have been Miss Rose Eaton, an aged
inmate of the county hospital, who
last Sunday evening slipped out of .
window and was gone for some time
before her absence was discovered.
After couple of hours search she
was found with her night robes en-
tangled in the barb wire fence on
the bank of the mill power canal in
Island Grove park. The woman was
nearly dead from exposure, but even
at that it is probable that the barb
wire saved her life, for had she
been able to get through this she
would likely have been drowned In
the canal, which is filled with mud
and water to depth of several
feet.
1t is believed now that she has
on previous occasions slipped out
through the window and returned
without being discovered.

Fine Stock Farm Sure.

C. D. Spicer, the young Minnesota
attorney who recently bought the
Putnam tract of 1000 acres of land
near Hardin, has commenced stock
ing the farm with blooded horses
and cattle. Last week there were
unloaded at Goodrich, the nearest
station to the place, two carloads of
Percheron mares and stations and
several carloads of Hereford cattle.
All OF these will be used for breed
ing purposes. Mr Spicer will retain
800 acres of the farm for his own use
in the horse and stock breeding busi-
ness aud will probably sell the rest
in small tracts.
Greeley horse and stockmen who
saw the animals unloaded say they
we're about the finest ever brought
to this section.

Arrows Victorious.

The recently victorious High
school basketball team was defeated
on Friday night by the Arrows by a
score of SO to 81 Unfortunately the
game was marred by too frequent
disputes and rougn playing on both
sides Hall and Conner OF the High
school we're both disqualified for un-
sportsmanlike conduct but were al
lowed to continue in the game, as
the chances OF the High school
would have been greatly lessened
without these men
The crowd was nearly all for the
High school boys and on this &C.
count they believed the officials were
not giving them q square deal, but
as matter OF fact there we're more
fouls called on tha arrows during the
game, ~ the score book will show,
than on the High school.

Ditch Nearly Finished.

Work on the new Riverside ditch
and reservoir is progressing nicely
and there will probably be water
running in the ditch this coming
season. Already fifty miles OF the
ditch has been completed, and the
reservoir work is we'll under way.
At present the ground Is frozen so
badly that but little can be done on
the dam for the reservoir. but the
basin has sufficient storage capac-
ity without the dam, to water con-
siderable area Of land.

leturn southeast again into Colorado.
Work was begun December 2s, 1907,
and ie Is anticipated that a large
acreage OF land In Laramie county
Will be irrigated when the ditch is
completed. The company which is
pushing the scheme retains the right
to use the ditch for domestic and
powerspurposes as we'll as for irriga-

Gasoline Tank Explodes.

A Steam train was run over from
Sterling last Saturday in place of
the regular motor. Friday evening
a gasoline tank exploded in round
houseta Sterling. A portion Of the
building was torn away and the mo-
tor which was near was set afire. A
man named Matthews, who worked
in the round house, had his clothing
saturated with gasoline which i'm
mediately took ire from the lantern
he was carrying. He was rolled in
blankets and the flames extinguished
but was badly burned about the body
and was taken to a Denver hospital
that night.

.|GAR CURED HOGS
- ~ into slling
Straw Stacks. = ?

Have you seen Mel. Bartholo-
news sugar cured hogs?" has been
a very active question the past few
days.
n. d. Bartholomew has peen ex-
perimenting with new nog feed
this winter. He Is fattening herd
of 100 of the porkers on syrup from
the Greeley sugar factory, hauling
the stuff In barrels to the farm The
hogs have been doing we'll on the
diet and are as fat as pigs"
There is just one disturbing note
in the whole business that frequently
makes Mr.. Bartholomew lose him
self in deep thought as he leans on
the corral fence watching the animals
grow big and fat. The beasts like
the syrup. they fairly dote on 1t and
also lay down in 1t, soaking them
selves outside and In. Then they
crawl into their nice, clean beds OF
straw and come out again looking
like miniature hay stacks wriggling
their nay across the corral. At the
present time it is impossible to COM
pute how many layers of molasses
and straw have been added to the
outside Of the natural hog, but the
problem is how to get the animals
washed of or put in some kind OF
shape to be presentable in the mar
ket. The hogs SLOUGH about, ashamed
of their own looks, and would no
doubt be glad of submitting to any
treatment that would better these,
hut so far no remedy has been found.
Can somebody suggest one?

A NEW OASIS
GREEN SPOT ON PRAIRIE
FAR FROM RAILROAD.
What the Willow Creek Irriga-
ton Company Has Been Do
ing Near Grover the
Past Year.

A regular oasis in a desert Is being
created on Willow Creek, about
twelve miles west of Grover, on the
Burlington railroad, by the Willow
Creek Irrigation company. The
oasis will cou prise 5000 acres of
fine farming land, part OF which
will be under cultivation this COM
ing summer.
At an expense of about 500, 600 a
couple OF reservoirs and a system of
bitches is now nearly completed, and
400 acres of land mas already been
broken up under the new canal sys-
tenn. There are two reservoirs, one
OF which is natural basin, requir-
ing but little embankment. The
other requires more Of dam. The
two can store 200, 900, 600 cubic feet
of water. The inlet ditch to these
reservoirs has a carrying capacity of
! 600 cubic feet per second. The
outlet ditch has capacity OF 40
cubic feet.
The intake ditch is built OF enor.
nous capacity to catch quickly the
flood waters, that frequently coma
down Willow creek, but that last
only for short time. Through this
the reservoirs will be nlled as often
as possible. and then the water IL
distributed as needed through the
smaller ditch, The intAks ditch II

The smS6hod of constfsotisn ef The
bitches was interesting. because of
some difficulties to be overcome. The
company is composed of men hold
ing land under the new irrigation
system. This company bought at
the outset a huge dredge, Weighing
100 tons. and brought this across the
prairie from Grover, seventeen miles,
to where 1t commenced work. A
wide and portable railway track was
constructed In sections and the
dredge moved in that way. 1t took
two months to get the big machine
to the place Of operation.
A better method was thought out
for moving the dredge back to the
railroad, and the men we're able to
move 1t at the rate of one mile a
day. After the completion of the
canals the dredge was sold to the
contracting firm that did the exca-
waiting, and the whole transaction
was profitable one to the irrigation
company.
The district that will be watered
under the new reservoir system lies
twelve miles west Of Grover, and
about 20 miles east of Carr, and will
be the only green, OF at least the
only cultivated spot between those
two points at present.
About the only kind of crops that
will be grown there at present will
be such as can be fed to stock. This
Is on account Of the distance to rail-
road necessitating haul Of not less
than IL miles to station.

ACCORDING to the construction

This is a hint that if any one wants

have to carry it on the inside.
