LET US HELP EVANS

Evans went dry at the teIect ion
held there last week Tuesday and
under the local option Law tie sa-
loon men have thirty days from cleo
tion time In which to wind b. their
business affairs. Whether or not
the outcome was the result Of tie
temperance wave that has been
sweeping over the entire coWtr5, or
the influence at work was more local
in character We cannot say, nor does
1t perhaps matter SO much, except
as the disease that has been put on
the run may be constitution or
local. If the latter, the cure NAV
be only temporary or local. II the
former, possibly the cure IL perma-
nent: We hope so at aDy rate III
there was ever a place in this state
or many others where the saloon evil
tiourished in its lowest form, that
place was Evans. 1t has been veri-
table cancer In the body socisl, or
body polite Of Weld county. aud its
removal without killing the pa lent
is q matter Of congratuletVau not
alone for the soou people Of Evans,
but Of the entire county, tOr young
men, and often young women also,
from all over the. county nave met
their ruin in the whiskey aud gam
bling dens and brothels Of the lit le
town.
Financially some persons think
the removal of the saloons will dam
age Evans. The annual revenue to
the town WAS about a, 900 from the
saloon licenses. This amount will
now have TO be raised by general
taxation. The argument is alright
so far as 1t goes, but 1t does not
mention the many times that amount
1t costs the taxpayers of the entire
county to try, punish and to feed
the many victims Of the saloon sys.
TEN, TO say nothing about caring fol
the many that have been paupeYIxod
through the same source. For Z yoaI
or two the town Of Evans will feel
the loss of the saloon. Then, II they
will make the dryDess pei manent,
people will commence to move there
to live. Evans was laid out for Z
beautiful and desirable place Ia
which to live, but 1t has been hspdi
capped from infancy almost with the
saloon. Had Evans adopted the
anti-whiskey rules that Onion Colon,
did FOR Greeley, who shall saw what
would have been the name nj this
principal CITY OF northern Colorado
While the start right with Evan,
may be bit tardy 1t is not loo late,
ana we may yet see Evans Gloss
second to Greeley. At any rate. le,
us extend her the right hand of feI.
io~ship and help her along to the
best of our ability. Better sttll. le,
us boom both cities until thew NEE,
half way from the present limits O,
each and make the two one pranC
and splendid city of temperate apc
Intelligent inhabitants Roth nov
have good start In the right direc
tion.

Residents of Bennett street from
Seventh to Eleventh street are rejoicing
over the fact that at least the street
bed has been put in fine condition by
the Street and Sewer Department, that
body having laid a bitui.thic pavement
between the streets named.
But with all their expressions Of
praise there are some condemnation
tones heard due to the fact. as resi-
dents along the thoroughfare allege,
that the department has left the
stones. which were taken up at street
crossings. piled in such a manner that
they are a menace to the children of
the neighborhood. The children. In

NO TRACE YET OF
GAETANO VISClDO

The authorities have been unable to
trace Gaetano Viscido, the section
hand. who killed Addison Henry, COL
ored, a fellow employe. A man named
Michael Larontonla was arrested as a
suspect yesterday. but he was released
in the City Court to-day He was
employed in the same gang as Viscido
and Henry at the time the murder was
committed.
Another theory has been advanced
las 10 the cause of the crime. IL has
been learned that the two men were
mot the best of friends and only last
Tuesday had exchanged angry words.
and it might be that the murder was
committed to avenge a fancied wrong.
The roll of money which Henry is
known to have had, however, is still
missing, and the police think that rob-
berry was most likely the motive.
