Observation-Disclosures
New Hickman Fad.

The late fad-even later than the
Directoire Hickman seems to be
that of owning and riding burros-a
small donkey used principally in
mountainous districts for carrying
man and burden over the treacherous
mountain trails. Several of these
midget beats of burden have been
shipped into Hickman in the last
few weeks, and old and young are
getting the habit riding them-"just
for fun" Riding burro over the
hills of Hickman is one way Of
having Colorado at home.

A Mere Rumor.

Upon investigation, the Courier
finds that the report, which has
been pretty well circulated around
here, to the effect that night riders
had ordered the Hickman cotton
gins 10 close, is without foundation.
No such warning has been received.
This rumor possibly grew out the
Troy Tenn. gin troubles. II is true
that gin at that place was closed
last week on account OF threats made
by the night riders and partly for
another reason. The closing OF
that gin was the cause of consider
able Tennessee cotton being brought
to Hickman, and Mr.. Moffett Whose
gin was shut down. sent word to S.
L. Doods that il might be hazardous
to buy cotton from that section, and
Mr.. Dodds, acting on this advice,
declined TO buy some cotton from
near Troy. The Farmers Gin &
Grain Co., however. continued to
buy all the Tennessee cotton that
vas offered them without fear of
serious consequences. One gin at
Troy is still in liberation. 1t is
DIVIDED or controlled by the farmers
union, and those who are having
their cotton ginned are holding it
for better price. So long as they
do that, we are told, the night riders
will have no kick, as they demand
that cotton must not be sold for
less than a certain figure.
So that is about the substance of
the report.
