MASKED BANDITS.
Make a Clean Uu In Wiley-Get a
Wagon Load Of Loot.

With but few people aware OF
their presence in the neighborhood,
three masked bandits last Thursday
night raided the new town of Wiley
eleven miles northeast of Lamar, and
after robbing w. B. Tobin, propric-
tor OF the billiard parlor. leaving him
bound to a table, entered every store
in the place, took what valuables they
cared for and drove away with their
loot. The holdups were traced to
Prowcrs and it IS believed will be
captured before night.
The robbers first made their ap-
pcarance about II o'clock, when they
entered Tobin's place of business
He was just closing for the nigh,
and had his money in a leather bag
which lay on his desk. After cover.
ing him with revolvers the strangers
took the wallet containing over SIoo
relieved him of his watch and other
jewelry and then gagged him tied
him face downward to billiard
table.
Then they visited each store in the
town and gathered enough loot to fill
large sized dray wagon. 1t is cs-
timated that the stolen property will
amount TO over $500.
II was NOT until O'CLOCK FRIDAY
morning when Tobin, after six hours
OF relentless struggling, succeeded in
freeing himself. that news of the
daring robbery was given the au-
thorities. Sheriff Thomas and sew
eral deputies went to the scene The
only clew they could find was the
tracks OF the robbers wagon. This
was trailcd to Lamar, through the
main street of the town and on, gf
the other side to Prowers, small
town east of Lamar. Here all trace
OF them was lost, but the officers
believe they know who is responsible
and expect to make several arrests.

THE GLORIOUS fOUTH
Spent by People of Rocky Ford In
Divers Places,

Divers Places.
About 1000 Fordites went down to La
Junta on the Fourth and had sizzling
hot time. They burned powder and had

they were done beautiful brown; at the
ball game they we're also done to cook
ed goose egg. but they were done to a
finish waiting for the Santa Fe train.
which was scheduled to leave for home
at lo:5o and didn't get away until the
Glorious Fourth had passed. But they
had jolly old time. just the same.
Something like 500 people from this
city boarded the morning trains going
west. The greater number stopped off
at Pueblo and spent the day at the Fair
grounds and Lake Minequa. At the for
mer place the racing was the great at
traction and the Rocky Ford crowd got
their moneys worth in the very first race
on the program for they saw a horse
from this city break the track record for
half-mile heat. Snake Brown, a Rocky
Ford horse entered in the free-for-all
pace. stepped off the half-mile in :054
lowering the trask record nearly two
seconds. Another Rocky Ford horse
Miss Fidgety. owned by c. F. Mcintosh
won the quarter-mile dash; time o:26H.
The fireworks at the lake in the evening
were particularly attractive. and rounded
out very enjoyable day.
An order of the mayor debarred the
burning of powder in Colorado Springs on
Independence Day, and many from this
city spent the day in that quiet town.
A goodly number went on to Denver.
where the glad hand" was extended all
eomers and hilarious Fourth was spent.
The Rocky Ford band and a good sized
crowd celebrated at Holly and few
went to Ordway and Sugar City.
The Baptist and Farmers Union picnies
were each literally attended and greatly
enjoyed. but for a real genuine good time
the many lawn parties about town-and
notably the Missourian family gathering
at Woodside's-had the most enjoyable
time Of all.

staggered even the professionals.
 "If you will agree that we may dis card and draw after the deal I'll go you." said Jim after taking moment to think and wondering if his luck would stand by him.
 "All right"
 The woman sat down, the cards were cut, and Jim got the deal. With so many eyes watching him he dared not attempt any tricks. The woman said her five cards would do, and the gam bier held up two aces and drew three more cards. When he saw that he had drawn two more aces he felt sorry for the woman.
 We agreed on a showdown, but 1 should like to bet on this hand" he observed.

 "Only five hundred to begin with"
 "Ill see it and raise you five hun. dred."
 In less than ten minutes there was $10,O00 in the pot. Jim had put up his last dollar and had to call He laid down his four aces with bland smile. "A straight flush, queen high." said the woman as she began to gather up the money.

 "Jlm Daily wants you to take this back. He let you play just to win your money and show you that you were not in the game. Jim used to be a soldier. and he wouldn't beat Uncle Sam"

In Lilac Time. No sorrow need to-day approach my door. For he shall find it closed and barred to him. The griefs which I havs known shall be no more, And cen their memory shall be faint and dim. To-day will I revisit Fairyland. Where all the coming years seemed fair and bright: With eyelids closed, blossom in my hand, The past Mays shall surround me till the night For when I rose, a fragrance filled the air Leaving no other any place or room: It came like ghosts of dead Mays dear and fair I looked-and To. the lilacs were in bloom What magic of Arabia vies with this, Which bridges time with but an odor

KNEW HIMSELF TO BE A POET.
Whittier Came Early to Recognition
 of His Genius.

John Greenleaf Whittier used to de- clare that at very early age he knew himself to be real poet. and would often relate, writes Mrs. Abbey J. Woodman in her "Reminiscences of Whittier's Life at Oak Knoll" an amusing experience when he was a student at the Haverhill academy. Mrs. Woodman gives 1t in MT Whit tiers own words:
 There is but little doubt that at the age of 20 I felt myself to be . real poet, somewhat unknown to fame. but suficiently acknowledged as such by the committee directing the dedi- cation of the new academy for them to invite me to read m original poem on that occasion.

A Straight Flush.

ICopyrighr, 1908. by T. c. McClure.l
 It was a westbound train on the Union Pacific road in the days when Cheyenne was its western terminus Major Creushaw, army paymaster, was playing cards with several men. A woman on the train warned him by a look that they were sharpers. Her warning was nheeded-indeed, resent ed
 When the officer was a thousand dol lars ahead he looked back at the wo- man and smiled superciliously. She answered by shaking her head. He was still holding his own when he looked again. She was sleeping. or pre- tending to. Then of a sudden luck changed. The professional gambler does not always have to resort to trick cry. The fickle goddess is apt to smile on him as on the novice. There was square deal of cards in which three of the four got good hands, and the bet ting was lively. The major held four tens and kept boosting the pot until his winnings were at stake. Then he called to find four queens out against him. One more hand cleaned him out to his last dollar, and he rose up to give place to some one else. He look ed at the woman. and there was a smile of pity on her face. It angered him. He clipped with government greenbacks. He won and he lost.
 For two hours the major made three losses to one winning. Two of the others also lost. Luck favored only hours the officer looked at the woman she was either mapping or looking out of the window. She did not try to catch his eye again. She gave him no attention when he finally rose up and returned to his old seat He hadn't $5 left in his pocket. He had used up over $5.000 of government money. He sat stilly in his seat staring straight ahead of him. wondering how he should die. He was not the man to turn cur and run away. All his friends com bined could not raise that amount of money offhand. He had lived under army regulations as an officer and gentleman, and he would die that way. It was to be suicide pure and simple, either before reaching Cheyenne or di- rectly afterward The major didn't shrink from the idea. He was trying to plan the time and place. As he was busy with these thoughts the wo- man rose up and passed down the car to the gang he had played with. The three men were not playing at that moment.
 "Jim, how much have you wonT asked the woman of the lucky man.
 About $9,OOO."
 'T'd like to play hand with you just the two of us."
 The three men looked at her in sur prise. and number of passengers gathered around.
 'T mean it." insisted the woman as she produced money and drafts. We'll cut for deal and have showdown. The biggest hand takes the stakes"
 That isn't regular. Besides. I'm playing in great luck today and would be sure to beat you"
 "Then you will be welcome to my money. Don't be a flunker."
 "what are the stakes to ber'
 "Six thousand dollars"
 "Whew!' whistled three or four men fin chorus. It was big sum of money to be lost or won on showdown. It
