THE FASHION
THE TOT
RAN AWAY

Considerable excitement was
caused last night by the escapade OF
little child.
A little fellow about 4 years old,
afterward found to be one Sammy
Booth and who lives at the corner
of Eleventh and Rood, wandered
away from home just about dusk and
was found walking alone at the cor
ner of Ninth and Ute, number of
blocks from his home. There Miss
Matte Mitchell, who resides at S43
Ute avenue, saw the little fellow and
ascertained that he was lost. She
endeavored to find out where he
lived; but the youngster did not seem
anxious to give the location OF his
residence. He was armed with
mouth harp about as long as he Is.
All he would say to Miss Mitchell
was that "the Adams have gone on
the train and am going, too He
was bent on getting to the union
station. He had fully made up his
mind to take trip.
Miss Mitchell followed the baby
along Ute avenue almost to the rail
road tracks. Then she tried to get
him to return, but he refused TO do
so.
Miss Mitchell asked him where he
was going to sleep. as night was
coming on. He llsped that he was
going to sleep on the train.
The boy was asked who he played
with and he said that 81 play with
Teddy" Cafterward found to be Ted
Winterburn) and he finally said that
he lived on Rood.
Finally the little fellow consented
to go home and turned up toward
Rood avenue. Miss Mitchell fol-
lowed. and after Rood avenue was
reached number of children who
knew Sammy met them and took
him home He had been wandering
about the town for two hours
As he parted from Miss Mitchell
the tot declared that when dark is
over am going to the train again.
The runaway escapade of Sammy
attracted the attention OF many peo-

TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR
FUND PLEDGED TO PROS
ECUTE THE DISHONEST

That commercial honor is not
growing very much better m this
section of the country is evidenced
by the action taken by the Denver
Credit Mcn', association at its last
meeting, when members of that or
gunization, in conjunction with Job
bcrs at Pueblo, Colorado Springs,
Trinidad, Grand junction and other
important towns of the state. pledged
a cash funI of $4,000 TO he used for
the purpose of investigating cases
of alleged fraud ON the part of re
tail merchants in this trade territory,
and to prosecute releutlessly every
case in which dishonesty is dlscov-
cred.
An officer of the association states
that this action on the part of the
wholesale interests of the state has
been made necessary by the practice
frequently INDUCED in by unprin-
cipled retailers of making false state
ments. obtaining goods through mis-
representation and fictitiously and
fraudulently disposing of their stocks
of merchandise in bulk leaving trust
ing creditors to whistle for their
money
Comparatively Few people are
aware that the legislature enacted
law 1--we Abk tAs1D -bN 81 AA+AAF p 'LAn
sale of ALL or a portion, of stock OF
merchandise out OF the usual course
of business. Failure to comply with
this law is prima facie evidence that
the sale was fraudulent and void as
against the creditors of the seller.
In order for the purchaser to secure
clears title under the Bulk Sale
Law. it is necessary for him to take
an inventory of the merchandise to
be bought. and five days before the
sale is consummated, give notice to
all of the creditors of the seller, OF
his intention to purchase the stock
in question, together with the cost
price. and the price paid for the
merchandise. An officer of the
Denver Credit Mems association
states that this law has been upheld
by the Colorado courts and that
credit men are rejoicing that they
now have some legal and practical
means of bringing to justice that
class of commercial crooks who make
Fictitious sales OF their business TO
convenient relatives and friends,
A prominent retailer I'm comment
ing upon the action of the whole
saIers in pledgiug a $4,000 fund for
the prosecution of fraud cases, said
that it could do no possible harm to
the honest retailer, while on the olh-
er hand it would be a positive assist
ance to him i'm the conduct OF his
business, as it would have a tendency
to eliminate the worst competition
the honest retailer has to contend
with. viz: the offering of merchan-
disc to the public at perhaps tifty to
seveuty-five per cent of the cost
price. by persons who came INTO
possession of the merchandise by
fraud. and who therefore could al
ford to sell it at sacrifice prices.
Such practices, it lis contended' are
not only demoralizing to good morals,
but To business conditions generally,
and honorable retailers are very BIT

THE FRUIT GROWERS
ARE PLANTING GARDENS

All over the county fruit growers
who suffered the loss of their crops
are breaking ground and planting
garden. They are rcsortiHg to the
truck business TO partially recoup
their losses which was sustained by
the recent heavy freezes. They did
the same thing last year and most of
them did very well, considering the
fact that the market was gluttcd and
prices so low.
There viii be plenty of veg -ables
again this year and the prices viii
not be very high, but what is grown
and sold viii add so many dollars to
the years income that they would
not otherwise receive. The growers
are meeting the conditions heroically
and are not sitting idly by bemoau-
ing their losses. They realize that
there is still plenty of time to raise
good quality of vegetables, and in
fact they are as early as most of the
farmers who planted their garden a
month ahead. for what tender vege-
tation was up was npped by the
frost.
Cripple Creek and the district gen
orally has always been a good mar
ket for Fremont county vegetables
and there are some gardeners who
ship their truck to the district in
wholesale lots in preference to ped
ding it on the streets, they figuring
that the time consumed in peddling
