AN INTERESTING CONTEST
This is Looked for Over Will of Late
Sam Armstrong

What promises to be an interest.
ing contest of will is that over the
estate of the late Samuel Armstrong
one of the wealthy farmers of the
western end of this county, which
comes up for hearing in the county
court August 3. Armstrong willed
his farm to niece. Miss Nettie
Knapp. of Garden City, Ill.
Shortly after this Mrs. Belle Sam
mis-, of Chicago filed notice through
her attorneys that she had claim on
the estate, as the daughter of a form
er Mrs. Armstrong, from whom Sam
uel Armstrong was supposed to have
been divorced many years ago.
1t is the legality of this divorce
that may cause an interesting tangle
A certified copy OF the decree is on
file here, with Mrs. Armstrong; at
torney. This decree does not contain
the date of divorce proceedings, cause
of action or signature of the judge
who granted the decree in Clinton
county, Iowa, in 1859. Mrs. Arm
Iowa, in 1853. Mrs. Sarah Arm
strong never remarked after secur-
ing the supposed divorce, but it is
alleged that Armstrong did and that
his second wife died years ago leav-
ing no children. Mrs. Armstrong and
her daughter, the latter born a few
months after the supposed divorce
was granted, will come here mex,
week prepared to press their claim
to the utmost.

Greeley boasted IL citizens, lo
men and two women, that Saturday
AFTERNOON in July-July' 31st, ls'o
when Mrs. A. II. Dunham stepped
from the train into the grass ana
the cactus that were the only at
tempts at landscape gardening whlch
the city possessed.
Remember, 1870 was 3S years ago
and Mrs. Durham was So years ola
then. She is still living at the ad-
yanced age of 81 and looks back with
vision as undimmed as that OF any
girl in her twenties.
and there is plenty to look back
to. The population of Greeley is
now 5000; the State Normal school
is here; there are factories, shops,
banks, and beautiful homes. And
Mrs. Dunham has seen Cor could
have seem literally each and every
building in twon in the process OF
erection. For the house at 1905
Eighth avenue, where the Dunhams
still live, was the first finished house
in Greeley.
But even the house on what is
now Eighth avenue was not finished
when Mrs. Durham arrived, and
when the plasterer instituted his re-
gime the family took to the cellar
Those were pioneer days all right
For instance, Mr.. Dunham had
brought ticking and pillows from he
old home in Connecticut, but not the
wherewithal to 49,. them after his
arrival. tHe had come west about
three months before his wife, SO
he had taken the empty mattress to
the river and filled it with dried
grass; but the grass had become
powder ere Mrs Dunham's advent,
and one of the things she recalls
most vividly is how that mattress
with its Colorado variety OF interior
felt O. nights. The stove was set
up in the yard and cooking opera
tions carried on there.
Well does Mrs. Durham remem-
ber that first Saturday night. Her
husband and son were obliged to be
away and she expected the Indians to
descend upon her at any moment.
And what was her horror to discover
that she was without matches. So
she made a trip to the Meekers who
were her nearest neighbors, made
her first call upon them and borrow
ed matches for the night.
DID you ever have any adven-
lures with the Indians?" was asked.
She laughed. II have never seen
an Indian all these 3S years, al

Do You Want a Vacation?
Some Suggestions

The mountain vacation trip that
probably offers more for the money
than any other in the way of mag
nfficent scenery, is the one over the
far-famed Georgetown Loop, of the
Clear Creek branch of the Colorado
& Southern. Up until two years ago
the Loop was one of the greatest
wonders of railroad engineering in
Colorado. Now this attraction is
eclipsed by some of the wonders ly-
ing beyond on the same line, in the
climb to the top of Mt. Mcclellan or
Gray's Peak, one of the highest in
the state. Comfortable passenger
coaches are now run to the top of
the famous peak, to an altitude of
14,007 feet above the sea level.
The railroad that reaches this
enormous altitude is known as the
Gray's Peak route, or the Argentine
Central. By series of switchback
tracks the specially constructed en-
gines climb the ladder as it were
From the top of Grays peak, 1O1
other giant peaks can be seen, with
their Intervening canons, gorges,
glaciers and chasms. For a one or
two days vacation, or for those seek
ing the sublime in nature, there is
probably no place upon earth where
they can be better satisfied than up
on this trip above the clouds on the
highest railway in the world
Special excursion trains leaving
Denver at about l o'clock in the af-
ternoon and returning about 1880
in the evening are frequently run
Not the least attractive of the
many attractive mountain resorts
and places of recreation is the re-
gion in the vicinity of Glacier Lake
on the Switzerland Trail"
Leaving Boulder, Colorado on the
Colorado & Northwestern, one of
the SHOW" railroads of the state, the
ascent is by fairly easy stages or
grades up through sixteen miles of
beautiful canon, lined on both sides
with mining operations of various
kinds, for the road passes right
through the Boulder county mining
district, one of the best in the state.

MORE LIGHT ON TAXES
RancheS Pay Higher Tax-OheB Less Our Statements
Are Incorrect Why Are We Not "CaNed Down.?

There remains one more issue
before election and up to the pres
emit time we have received no ex-
PLANTATION from the Standard NJ ws
or the republican press of the
county, (neither have any of the
candidates made an explanation }
regarding the enormous increase Of
taxes on the ranchers of the county
this year.
AS we have contended from the
first, some one is responsible for
this injustice, and knowing of the
desire of our republican brethren
to save the funds of the county and
their desire for strict economy. we
have supposed they would assist us
in discovering the cause of this
raise and by naming the men who
were responsible.
Since the issue of the Free Press
OF October eighth we have pub
lished the names of only 2OS
ranchers and this list alone shows
these men will be compelled to pay
not only their high tax of last year
but 50, 767 90 besides or in other
words, come through the same as
last year and hand over $3.50 on
top of it. Why? That's the ques-
ton. Let us cut out this discus
sion Of Taft and Bryan, republican
prosperity and democratic pauics,
the tariff, bank guarantee, etc. for
while and get down to a real live
local question. We will assist any
paper regardless Of politics in an
investigation to determine who
was instrumental in having the
raise made. The levy last year
was SO. 10 per hundred. This year
it is SO. 90 hundre'. The assessed
valuation Oh all classes OF property,
pianos, vehicles, ETC. remains prac.
tically the same as last year but
the patented land, upon which most
of the revenue comes from. has
been increased in valuation twenty
five per cent. That is the mer.
chant and townsman will pay less
on his property this year than last
snd the farmer will pay close to
twenty per cent more on his land
and yet the levy has been reduced
IS our republican friends will tell
you.
Here are the facts in a nutshell:
Levy reduced from SO 10 a hun
1red to IS 90.
Valuation on merchandise, town
etc. remains the same.
Valuation on patented lands in
'reased close on to twenty five per
,ent.
In order to collect the same
mount OF taxes off of the farmers
his year as last the levy should
rave been about SPAS hundred
md not So 90.
Results are farmers pay mole
INTO the county treasury this year
han last.
Other people pay less.
