POLICEMAN CUMMINGS

ARRESTS THIEF AND SECURES NEARLY
ALL OF MONEY AND GOLD
WATCH.

Tuesday afternoon Mrs. James
Moore discovered that some one
had stolen $51.75 and a gold
watch from a dresser drawer in
her bed room Suspicion pointed
to Lizzie Williams, colored, who
had been employed during the
day to do some cleaning in the
house. The theft was reported
to the police, and policeman
Cummings was detailed to work
up the case and he did itin good
shape. He arrested Lizzie Will
liams and recovered S46. 90 Of the
money and the watch, The ne

A NEW fh.
BOSS UP
UNITED CHRISTIANS CALL STATE CON-
VENTlOA---NOBODY KNOWS ANY
THING ABOUT 1T.

According to the JAG kson News
another set of presidential electors
will be voted for at the November
election in Mississippi, making a
total Of six. according to advices
received from Bonneville, con
tanned in the following call issued
by Daniel Braxton Turney:
A state convention is hereby
called for Mississippi on behalf of
the United Christians, to select
state executive committee. nomi-
nate presidential electors, and to
attend to any other legal business
before it, to be held at Boone
vile, Miss, on Aug. %, 1908. "
The United Christians is new
party, nothing whatever being
known here concerning the
organization and whether it is a
state or national movement the
local politicians are unable to say.
A few of them have heard of
Christians, as the word is gene
reilly used, but their acquaintance
does not extend to a party bear
ing that name.
However, the new party can
get its ticket in the field, accord
ing to Secretary of State Power,
if the proper legal modus oper-
andi is followed, which is accom-
panied by a great deal of red tape,
as the independence League has
discovered. With six sets of
electors to be voted
for, the November ballot will be
a rather lengthy affair.

Easy Method Of Killing
Flies And Mosquitoes,

Why be worried with flies and
mosquitoes in your rooms when
they can be easily driven out and
killed. An exchange gives the
following simple recipe:
1t is claimed that a little la
vender oil sprinkIed about the
room through a common atomizer
will Danish the flies. A little of
this oil rubbed on the hands and
face will keep flies at distance,
where one is at work at a desk
or other sedentary business. A
pastile for killing not only mos
quitoes, but flies and other in
sects that may be lurking about
the room, is made by mixing one
part benzine, one part balsam of
tolu. five parts of charcoal. one
and a half parts common insect
powder and half a part of salt
peter. Add sufficient water to
this mixture to knead into a stiff
paste, then roll the mixture into
suitable pastiles and dry them.
One of these pastiles will burn
for some time in d room, giving
a pleasant odor, and the fumes
will kill all insects without injury
to furniture or drapery. They
can be made at home. or the
druggist will prepare them.

The board of trustees of the

not being given. 1t is generally
surmised, however, that the

ever, may not be the case and it
may be only to consider the new

bunch of cattle to Crawford Saturday
where they will be fed during the rest
of the winter.
Clair Hotchkiss reports that he was
agreeably surprised when he arrived
at Kansas City to find that sheep had
gone up while he was on the road and
he got fifty cents more head than he
had planned on.
1t is reported that Fred Lane and
family will return to Hotchkiss in the
next few days and settle at their ranch.
The whole community will be glad to

the Herald, went to Denver last Friday
and left the Office at the head of affairs.

Messrs. Fargo, one of Delta and one of
South Dakota, were in Hotchkiss the
middle of the week on business. They
are a trio of fine gentlemen and are
welcome visitors whenever they wish
to come here.
E. P. Newman will start in few
days for Denver where he will stay for
some time. Having leased his coal
interests here he will retire and enjoy
himself for the coming year. Mr.. New
man has one of the best banks of coal
in the valley and in a few years it alone
will make him a very wealthy man. He
has spent considerable money in this
community and has personal qualities
which have made many friends.
Fred johnson and family will leave
next Tuesday morning for Hitchcock,
Okla, where they will reside for some
time at their home place. They have
ranch there which has rented since they
came here but which has not been re-
turning satisfactory dividends. They
will stay there until they can dispose
of the place and will then return to
Colorado. On their way to Oklahoma
they will visit relatives at Norton,
Kansas and Superior, Neb. Many
friends here will be sorry to see them
go.

day Mr.. Lee is now raising funds for
the enstalling of an evaporator, canning
factory and electric lights for the town
of Hotchkiss and is meeting with sue
cess. He informs US that it is now his
intention to complete the present enter
prise and get it on substantial footing
then he will investigate the proposition
of an electric line for Surface Greek
and if he finds it feasible will go eat
and raise funds with which to construct
the road. He also has in mind CEN
trail power plant which will be located
at Cedaredge, where plenty of coed
water and fuel are to be had. This
plant will supply power for the entire
county. Mr.. Lee talks like practical
man and we hope he will further take
up the matter and go into detail more
thoroughly.
