Some Fine Wheat.

PaulRatovich, foreigner farming
on a tract of Beaver Park this year,
grew some very fine oats. The grain
was only irrigate twice and is three
feet and one half high and we'll head
ed. Ratovich has quite a patch of
land planted to oats and the stocks
brought to the Beaver Land office here
were not selected. He also has some
wheat and barley that is doing nicely.
Other grain growers report just as
good success. Since Beaver park was
more or less dry this year, it proves
the productive qualities of the land
and is only an instance as compared
with what could be grown with plenty
OF water. II next year is a wet one,
Beaver park will be populated with
prosperous farmers.-Florence Tri-

ALBERT N. DAVIS GETS
COLORADO DAY. PARDON

Alber NJ. Davis. No. 1856, on the
prison register, was on Saturday Civ
en- a conditional pardon from the pen
itentiary here by Governor Buchtel In
commemoration of Colorado Day."
The pardon was granted at the re-
quest of his mother, Mrs. Mary Davis
of San Francisco, CAL, supplemented
by the recommendations OF Warden
Cleghorn and District Attorney Geo.
Sudger of Denver, through whose ef-
forts the prisoner was convicted and
sentenced to a term of from five to
six years in the penitentiary.
Davis is suffering from pulmonary
tuberculosis and the executive order
releasing him recites that further
confinement in prison will be likely
to prevent his recovery.
Davis is reputed to have at one
time been a steady, honest, truthful
boy, and, being no longer in robust
health and unable to perform manual
labor, Warden Cleghorn urged that he
be given his freedom.
In consideration of his falling
health and the endorsements for his
release he was pardoned on condi-
ton that his mother, who is now in
Denver, take him to California and
endeavor to induce him to lead a de-
cent life.
Davis was found guilty of burglary
and larceny in Denver and was
brought here August IA, 1907, for a
term of from five to six years. He is
twenty-one years of age, and, before
his arrest, achieved considerable
fame as a prize fighter, being known
among the sporting fraternity as the
Filipino Kid" He Is a native OF San
Francisco and served term in the
penitentiary before going to Colorado.

While these estimates may be some
what excessive there can be no ques-
ton but that the loss was a very con-
siderable one and must make itself
felt in the community for some time
to come. The food was caused by q
cloudburst in the upper ranges Of the
Greenhorn riountains, which sent q
tremendous volume Of water down the
various tributaries Of the Arkansas
river having their sources in that p0r-
ton OF the county, deluging the low
lands along their courses. The water
began to rise very rapidly In Sand and
Oak creeks at Florence about 4:30
o'clock and were soon running high
er than at any time In the memory OF
the Oldest inhabitant.
In less than an hours time all the
bridges across Oak creek were wash
ed out, the Fifth Street bridge over
Sand creek was heap Of ruins and
most OF the other bridges across the
latter stream were 20 badly damaged

YESTERDAYS RECORD
POLICEMAN ARRESTED
FOR MURDER OF WOMAN

New York, July 2O.-Because of the
action of the policemen attached to
the Hamburg avenue station in Brook
Ign following finding of the body of
Barbara Reig in shelter house in that
borough, Police Commissioner Bingham
today transferred all the lieutenants
and sergeants and 56 of the 102 patrol
mon who were attached to that sta
ton David II. shellard, patrolman
connected with the Hamburg avenue
station, is under arrest charged with
shooting Miss Reig. 1t has been
charged that although many of the po-
lioemen connected with that station
knew her we'll. none of them disclosed
her identity for a considerable time
after the finding of the body. This and
a report that the policemen of that sta
ton have contributed sum of money
TO defend Shellard Is believed to have
actuated the commissioner in making
the transfers.
Although a coroner's jury has de-
| clared that Barbara Reig killed her
self, Shellard has not been released.
