PIONEER WOMAN
PASSED AWAY

Last night County Commissioner
John II. Hynes received a message
announcing the death of Mrs. Hynes'
mother, Mrs Mary Dowd, one of the
pioneer women of Colorado, at her
home at Kokomo, Colo, little town
near Leadville.
The announcement of the death of
Mrs. Dowd came as a great shock to
Mr.. and Mrs. Hynes. who thought
that she was in the best of health.
This afternoon over the Midland Mr.
and Mrs. Hynes left for Kokomo.
The death occurred at 9 O'Clock
last evening, and after an illness of
only a few days. The funeral ar
engagements are not known.
Mrs. Mary Dowd had most in
teresting history. She was one of
the true pioneer and early frontier
women of Colorado, and her ac-
quaintance among the old-time resi-
dents of the state was most extern
sive. She was nearly 6S years of
age.
In 1861, with her husband, Mrs.
Dowd crossed the continent in an
emigrant wagon and came to Colo
RADIO. The original home was in
Pennsylvania. The family settled at
the little town of Empire, near which
the now thriving town of George
town was later built. Some years
later the family recrossed the plains
and went east; but after a short time
returned, and almost continuously
for nearly Al years Mrs. Dowd had
resided in Colorado.
Few people in the state can lay
claim to so long a residence in Col
orado.
Mr.. Dowd died some 40 years ago
and is buried in the Masonic ceme-
terry at Central City.
Mrs. Dowd had some thrilling eX-
periences on the frontier in the early
days. and more than once the fam
lily found themselves endangered by
the presence of murderous bands of
Indians. Mrs. Dowd was able to tell
, many interesting stories of the ear
| ly days of Colorado. She always en-
joyed good health and was. woman
of splendid business acumen. She
amassed large amount of property
in Denver, Kokomo and in Grand
Junction. She had resided of late

years part of the time IN Denver and
part of the time in Kokomo.
The deceased is survived by three
daughters and two sons-Mrs. John
Hynes of Fruita, Mrs. Charles Craw-
ford and Mrs. John Crawford of Red
Cliff, and two sons who are we'll
known business men of Red Cliff.
The deceased had frequently VISIT
ed her daughter in this valley and
had a wide acquaintance in Grand
Junction and the Fruita community.
The many friends will hear of her
death with sincere sorrow
in the passing of Mrs. Dowd, no.
Bile useful life is ended and Colorado
loses another of the old pioneers who
helped to start the state on its Won
derful march of progress.

THIS MAN
IS A BRUTE

The most brutal case of cruelty to
dumb animal on the records of the
State Humane society has been
brought to light by a complaint filed
against James Wilson, a former min
lister, now owner of farm at Eaton,
Colo, by Humane Officer Frank Nc
Cornell. A 3-year-old colt is alleg-
ed to have been killed by Wilson,
after undergoing cruelties of the
most narrowing kind.
The early part of this week Wilson
started to break in the colt and
hitched it to a buggy. The animal,
unused to reins, acted frisky. Will
son is said to have vented his anger
for this behavior on the horse by
beating it with whip. The whip
proved Intellectual to restrain the colt
and Wilson then tried chain of the
heaviest kind. He beat the colt with
this until the animal fell to the
ground exhausted, it is charged.
Wilson, it is alleged, ordered his
hired men to hitch two teams of
horses together and, tying rope
around the neck of the animal re-
clining on the ground, attached it to
the teams and had them drag the
horse around the grounds of the
farm several times. When the colt
was released it was discovered to
have become totally blind. The hired
men then led it to the barn where for
two days it was kept. 1t finally be-
came mad from its sufferings. AT
the end of the second day Wilson is
alleged to have had it shot.
The story of Wilson's act reached
the ears of his neighbors, and, in
censed, they notified the State HUI
name Society. The case will come
up in the county court of Greeley
and there will be numerous Witness
es to testify for the society, accord
ing to Agent Mcconnell.

ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT.
Bookkeeper In Calexico Business House Taken to Arizona to
 Answer Serious Charge.

John Mcdowell, who for several weeks has been employed as book keeper in the McCollum hardware store at Calexico, was arrested on Tuesday by Under Sheriff Buck and brought to the county jail, on the charge of embezzlement made by the officers of the Arizona National Bank, at Phoenix, Arizona. Yesterday morn ing Mcdowell was taken back to Phoe- nix by Sheriff Carl Hayden of that county.
 It is alleged that Mcdowell, who was the receiving teller in the Phoenix bank, had been juggling accounts in receiving deposits, and the particular charge on which he was arrested was a case in which $500 had been de- posted, but only $250 was placed in the banks cash by McDowell. It is asserted that there are numerous simi- lar cases in which Mcdowell worked this system before he left the banks employ.

TEN ACRE FARMS.
Large Tracts of Three c. Ranch Pur.
 chased For Subdivision.

Indications point to a great change in the extensive lands of the well known "Three c" ranch near Calexico within the ensuing six months. A large portion of the land is likely to become closely settled through the ac. tivities of recent purchasers of tracts in that body of choice land.
 Samuel G. Ingle, stove and range manufacturer of San Diego, who is in El Centro this week, has purchased a tract of 200 acres in the "Three C. ranch, one and half miles northwest of Calexico, and he will subdivide this into ten-acre tracts.
 Dr. Burnham, of New York, and as. sociates have recently purchased 600 acres of the ranch and they will i'm mediately subdivide this into small holdings and place it on the market.
 Judge Allen, of San Diego, is the owner of portion of the ranch, and he is arranging for the erection of a handsome residence on a portion of this, while it is understood he will subdivide another portion.
 Judge Allen plans to spend part of each year on the place and has announced his intention of remaining on the ranch during July and August

LARGE DATE GROVE
 IN IMPERIAL VALLEY
HALF SECTION AT LEAST TO BE
 PLANTED NEAR BRAWLEY.
Other Half Will Be Devoted to Aspara- gus By J. w. Yoeum-square Mile to Be Sold In Ten Acre Farms By Owner of School Section.

Imperial Valley will probably have the largest date grove in the United States, if not in the entire world. J.. w. Yocum, who was in El CentrO on Wednesday, told The Press of his plans for developing some of his large land holdings to the north of Brawley, and spoke of his plans for section 90 of 12-14.
 His original plan for this section was to plant the entire tract with dates of the approved varieties; but he has become so thoroughly convinced of it's excellence as asparagus land that he will divide it, placing half in dates and the other half in asparagus.
 J. H. Wylie, an asparagus expert grower, who has made big money in the asparagus business in the low lands of the Sacramento Valley, but who has been in Imperial Valley for some time, will go with County Super visor Webster to the Yocum lands north of Brawley, next week, to help the owner determine just what pro portion shall be planted to asparagus.
 But the conclusion has even now been reached by MT. Yocum that at least half section shall be devoted to date culture. The experiment on such large scale will be watched with great interest all over the Southwest.
 MT. Yocum's business in El Centro was to make provision for grading and leveling section 36 of 12-14, which he is subdividing into ren-acre tracts and which he will place upon the mar ket as soon as the county Board of Supervisors approves the map in which he dedicates to the public all streets and alleys. This land iies six miles from Brawley, and is about three miles west of RockwooG. It's nearest railroad station is Bernice, and plans are maturing to secure bridge across the Alamo River, so as to give easy access to the railroao. Private sub scriptions will cover most of the cost of the proposed bridge, and the Board of Supervisors will be asked to give some assistance from county funds.
