Last Tuesday when the question of
voting bonds for the erection of an ad-
dition to the school house came up for
the consideration of the voters for the
second time, the bonds were defeated
by vote of 16 to l3. There was ir-
regularity of some sort in the first
election, when the bonds carried by a
large majority, but the vote was much
lighter this time with the above re-
suits. 1t will now be necessary for
the school board to rent rooms some
place in which to house the overflow
from the school building.
The following, clipped from Mis-
souri, exchange, speaks volumes for our
people and shows just how the poor
suffering mortals back east regard US.
We have nothing to say only that it
comes natural for US to forget our
troubles quickly and make the most of
every situation. That is what makes
Colorado the great state it is.
Evidence already comes floating in
from Colorado that the boosters of
that state have already forgotten the
recent frosts. They don't grieve long
over little set-backs out there, and
that is what makes Colorado a pace
setter in the race for supremacy"
Tuesday was runaway day in Hotch-
kiss. There were two of them but we
are glad to say that no one was fatally
injured.
Judge Hanson was driving to town
from the ranch on Rogers Mesa when
the team decided to take matters into
their own hands and run away. Mr..
Hanson was thrown out on the rocks
and his collar bone was broken and he
was bruised up considerable. He is
resting easy now.
The other runaway was team be-
longing to L. E. Fishel. He had them
tied down by Parsons truck farm when
George Stephan went whizzing by in
his big red automobile. The team ran
into Leroux Creek, where one of the
horses fell down and was dragged out
by the other. No particular damage
was done.
