ers slice these wheels - q loaf Of

The statement il published by

Gree.r Wa. Released

Hearing was had before Judge
Garrigues in chambers last Tuesday
on petition for a writ Of habeas cor
pus in the case of the city of Fort
Collins against 8. ]. Greear. The
latter is an alleged socialist who has
been holding street meetings in the
cities of northern Colorado. He
tried to get a permit to speak on the
streets at Fort Collins and was re-
fused permission by Mayor Clammar,
under an ordinance giving the mayor
such power. Greear spoke anyway
and was arrested by Marshal Ryck-
man and put in jail awaiting trial.
Judge Garrigues declared the or
dinance unconstitutional because 1t
gave the mayor discriminating pow
ers TO say who should and who
should not speak. Greear was dis
charged.

ALL OBSTACLES OVERCOME
Floods pnd Wrecks Couldn't Hold
This Prospective Groom

All the elements OF first class
magazine story are contained In the
romance that proceeded the wedding
of Miss Elsie NJ Edwards and Rob
ert O. Zumwalt which took place at
the home OF 4. F. Gossett. vice pre-
sident of the Hickman-Lumb beck
Grocery company Monday night.
The big floods that have swept the
country between Butte. Montana and
Spokane. Washington. along with the
other damage that they are respon-
sible for. kept the prospective bride
groom cut Off from the rest of the
world. Not q letter. nor q telephone
or telegraph message could be gotten
through and after the first week the
immured bridegroom began to yearn
noticeably for a less romantic situa-
tion. The days passed on and when
four weeks had come and gone. the
man got desperate. The lady proba-
bly, had line on the situation but
an absolute silence of four weeks is
not only trying but looks queer.
BY and by the wedding day appear
ed on the horizon but the floods were
on hand too. At last there was moth
ing for it but journey across
country from Phillipsburg to Ana
conda flood or no flood and the trip
was made by the anxious groom.
The bride, formerly Miss Elsie NJ,
Edwards of Warrensburg, Mo-, ar
rived Friday OF last week accOmpan-
led by her mother. Mrs. Nancy Ed
wards. The bride has been teaching
in California the past year.
tot OF IN r
with only a few intimate friends and
relatives present. Rev. r. J. Hunter
was the officiating clergyman.
The newly married couple will
make their home here and have their
house already furnished and waiting
them at 1924. Thirteenth street.
The groom is new man in the office
of the Bartlett Lumber company. A
notable coincidence Is that MIR Lun-
beck and the groom knew each other
we'll in the east and that the Zum-
waits have chosen the sixteenth ami
versary of the Lunbeck wedding for
their own.

CLOSE THURSDAY AFTERNOONS

Movement on For Midweek Half
Holiday During SummAer
A movement took rather definite
form at meeting OF ten Greeley

Thursday half holiday during the
months of July and August.
A committee was appointed to in
