THE TALE OF A BURRO.
Boys Accused Of Theft Say They
Were Duped by Other Boys.


There is a donkey case on trial
in the county court. The tale Of
this donkey got two young boys into
trouble, although both of them swear
! they were even ignorant of the
4, donkey's existence. Pete Peterson
and John Collision are the boys, and
they both belong to we'll known and
respected families, and as far as can
be learned. are boys who have never
been mixed up in any trouble They
are accused by j. G. Graham Of
stealing a sack OF oats to feed their
donkey, and are being tried for jul
venile delinquency The small
burro was brought to the court
house as evidence, but the judge
viewed. the animal through the win
dow, although the defense offered to
bring it into the court room If de-
sired. If the donkey could speak
and tell who he belongs to 1t would
end the whole controversy.
A couple Of weeks ago Mr.. Gra-
ham caught two boys stealing a sack
Of grain from his barn. He caught
both of them. and they gave the
names of Pete Peterson and John
Collision, and said they wanted the
grain for their burro. Mr.. Graham
let them go and had warrant
sworn out for them next day
1t was along towards dark when
the boys were caught and Graham,
together with Mr.. and Mrs. Perry
Murray, identified the two boys and
the burro. The two boys accused
say they never owned burro and
never saw the burro and say that the
hoys who were caught must have |
given their names. They both prov
ed by their parents and four or hve
other witnesses that they were at
different place at the time the thet
took place. The two boys who
really owned the burro were In court
and testified that the animal be-
Iouged to them. One OF the latter
does resemble one of the boys ac-
cused. The parents OF the boys
charged with the crime are very In
disnant and intimate that they Will
yindicate their children with civli
suit when they are cleared OF this
criminal charge. Mr.. Graham also
had man arrested week ago foi

CITY WILL GET n HOUR LIGHTS
FOR SAME PRICE.
FORMER PRICE A hOLD-UP
The Home Company 1orces the
Northern Company to Cut the
Price in Two. Delegation
Asks Council to Assist
Home Industry. M

The electric light proposition was
the principal question before the
city council last evening, and .
large delegation Of citizens waited
upon the aldermen IN the interest Of
the Home Electric Power plant Of
Greeley. This company has 30 far
made the city the best proposition
for lighting the city's streets and
buildings.
Among those present were Robt
McF. Doble, the manager of the
Home company, Messrs. Camfeld.
Clayton, Houston, Kinsella. Strong.
and several others. For several
years the Northern company has
been practically holding up" the
city. That is Just what they have
been doing, according to new prop
osition which they are now forced to
submit. For years they have been
charging the city $50 per year for
each street light on the midnight
basis. A few months ago the local
people submitted bid Offering to
furnish these lights for $s4 per
year on an all night basis, which 10
practically half the price that the
Northern has been charging all these
years, as heretofore the lights have
only burned six hours each evening.
and in the future they will run all
night. After the Home company had
submitted their bid. the Northern
also presented proposition which
practically cut their former price In
two, and which proclaims louder
than words that they have been
robbing the city all these years.
If not forced by the local plant
to make the reduction. there is NO
danger that the people would get
their lights next year for half the
price they have been paying in the
past These two propositions are
now before the city council. The
Home company offers all night
lights of Z y amperes for $s4 per
year, will give five alley lights free.
and Z cents per kilowatt hour for
all incandescent service. and guaran-
tees the best of service, with the big
additions to their plant, which are
already being installed. The North
ern company offers the same candle
power lights for $S4.96, no lights
free, and Z y cents for iucandescent
service, all of which is still higher
than the proposition Of the Home
company
All of the men present called upon
the aldermen, to assist this local
concern, especially as their bid was
the lowest, and pointed out the fact
that IL II were not for them the tax
payers would be robbed year after
year by paying foreign corporation
two prices for their lights.
The council considered the matter
for some time. but no action was
taken in the absence OF Alderman
Barber, who is chairman of the light
committee. The question was re-
ferred to that committee, with in
structions to report at the next
meeting If possible. Besides the
regular routine there was nothing
else OF Importance before the coun-
Gil last evening.
