having been sent up from Evans. Let
tiers taken from his grip by the officers
show him with something like 100
alias, most of them with the prefix
Reverend. On a card found in his
possession the name was given as
Rev. B. j. Mathews. of Park Avenue
Baptist church, but does not state in
what city. The name most frequently
used is Rev. Fl. NJ. Hicks. Hundreds
of letters in his grip were from women
all over the country, most of them of
an obscene nature.
He had peculiarly bound little
book In his grip, in which was found
the picture of woman After he
had been locked up for a time he
asked for this book, on account of the
picture, but it was not given to him.
Instead the officers made close ex-
amiantion of it, and found in one side
of the cover. half dozen of the finest
steel saws. The officers are of the
opinion that they have caught a bad
one, and are looking for someone that
may be wanting to file a complaint
against the man.
A number of letters of recommends
ton found in the grip are believed to
be forgeries.

Bad M1scalculation.

Through miscalculating the height
of wagon load of potatoes by three
inches, John Mullin, a farmer living
west of Ault nearly lost his life.
He attempted to drive from his
potato dugout with wagon load of
potatoes, seated on the load. AS he
passed through the door Of the dug
out his head struck the top OF the
casing, the blow jamming his head
between his legs with such force as
to break his breast bone, fracture
two ribs and tear the tissues away
from his spine it's entire length.
He fell from the wagon, but was
able to crawl an eighth of mile to
his home, where he tainted. He
will recover.

ASKING HELP
HOMESTEADERS WANT TIME
LIMIT EXTENSION
Under Desert Reclamation Act
Many Cannot Secure Water
for Land Before Time
to Prove Up on 1t

Frank Madden, clerk of the Weld
county district court, and also entry
clerk for the U. S. land office, with
whom prospective homesteaders may
make filings, has written a letter to
Congressman Robert W. Bonynge, cal
ling attention to hardship that may
be worked on homesteaders, who have
taken up land under the desert entry
act, unless congress helps them out.
In the aggregate these settlers have
spent thousands of dollars in trying to
reclaim the arid plains and many of
this, by their inability to secure water
for the land in time to comply with
the law.
Following is the letter:
Greeley, Colo, Dec. "a, 1907.
Hon. Robert w. Bonynge, M. c.,
Washington, ID. c.
In conversation with several of the
settlers who have taken up land under
the Desert Land Act l learn that con-
ditions are such that when the proper
time arrives for final proof namely at
the end of four years succeeding the
date of their entry, it will be impos-
sible for many of them to have con-
Quoted water on the land on which en-
try was made in good faith, and under
such circumstances those conditions
would subject the entry either to can
collation. or contest.
In some cases 1t will take two or
three years to conduct water on landa
remote from the main canals now
under course of construction, notwith-
standing the further fact, that the en-
terprises relied upon for the develop
ment of water by building irrigating
bitches and reservoirs, as we'll as other
methods Dy which water could and
might be developed, have been brought
to a standstill by reason of financial
conditions with which you are no
doubt thoroughly familiar.
l do not deem it unreasonable to
assume that bill looking to the ex-
tension of the time for final proof
on such lands as above referred to
could with justice be introduced, and
believe would meet with the endorse
ment of both House and Senate, un-
derstanding, as the members do. the
conditions set forth, together with
many others to which attention could
be called.
Many of the settlers have expended
large sums of money in the develop
ment and reclamation of their lands
as far as they could go under present
conditions, relying at all times upon
ultimately procuring water for the re-
clamation of the lands as required by
law, and believe that precedents can
be found justifying the passage of
such a measure which, it is only fair
to assume, would meet with the en-
dorsementn of the Congress of the
United States as well as that Of the
public in general.
The measure could be framed so as
to require continuous improvement
from year to year, and by so doing
show the good faith of the entrymah
and comply with every condition so as
to satisfy the Department as to the
absolute honesty and good faith Of the
settlers Interested. Such a measure,
have no doubt, would also pass crit
icism in congress as being in no wise
connected with any scheme in the
interest of corporations, syndicates or

til he had been on the vain search for
nearly a week that some one told him
to call at the mint, and there he re-
