TO STATE INDUSTRIAL
SCHOOL THIS MORNING

Lester Aldrich and Otto Holtz. a
couple OF incorriGbles from Florence,
were Thursday sentenced by Judge
Cooper of the county court to the
state industrial school at Golden and
we're taken to that Institution by I'm
dersheriff John Chetelat Friday
where they will be given an oppor-
tunity to learn some useful trade.
The two boys have for some time Civ
en- the police OF Florence considerable
trouble and they were taken into Gus
tody few days ago on the charge Of
stealing a quantity Of hay from the
barn of the National Club saloon in
that city and brought here for hear
ing. The sentence Of the court in
cases of this kind is usually until the
accused attain the age OF majority, al
though the length Of their stay at the
Industrial school depends largely up
on their conduct while connected with
that institution.

TURN DOWN PROPOSITION

The board of county commissioners
Friday turned down by unan-
imous vote the petition of the citizens
of Prospect Heights to have that vii
lage set apart from South Canon and
Lincoln Park as a separate voting pre-
cinct, ii having been decided that to
accede to the wishes of the petitioners
would be to invite additional expense
upon the county in the prosecution CT
criminal cases in the district court.
1t was voted by the commissioners to
create three wards on the South side
OF the river. all OF them in precinct
No. Is. remonstrsnce containing
the signatures of between Ave and six
hundred people against making Pros
pect Heights an independent ward was
laid before the county commissioners
by the people of South Canon and Lin
coin Park several months ago. The
refusal to set apart Prospect Heights
as a separate voting ward promises to
result in driving the sa-
looms from that village

INVENTION BY SALIDA NAN
PROMISES GREAT THINGS

An invention recently patented in
Washington by a Colorado man, E. j.
Wolfron, of Salida, is attracting the
attention OF farmers, and. according
to reports from some OF the large
ranchmen, promises to revolutionize
the construction of moving machines.
Mr.. Wolfrom passed through Canon
City a few days ago on his way to
Denver with a model Of his new cutter
bar and sickle plates, which are op-
Grated on a new movement, entirely
different from the old eccentric sys-
TEN. being on the principle of an end
less chain
A saving in motive power. a lessen
ing Of vibration in the machine and
more uniform work in moving hay.
are some of the chief advantages
which the inventor claims for his ma
chine The knives in the cutter bar
are reversible by an extremely simple
device, and Mr.. Wolfrom claims that
sharpening is unnecessary more than
once every season. The machine will
probably be built in Denver.
