JAMAICA GINGER
CLAIMS VICTIMS
-FOUR DRUNks SATURDAY NIGHT
Arrested and Finei-Chain Gang is
Punishment Hereafter

The police picked up four drunks
Sunday night. each doped with Ja-
maica ginger An ordinance against
the sale of this drug, which contains
about so per cent alcohol, would
save a good many drunks.
The drunks were Dad Stevens.
Tom Russell, William McGraw and
Joe Laurens. Russell got funny and
started to lick Officer McGreggor
but the big officer tapped him one
with his No. 13 fist and Russell 5
lights went out McGreggor carried
him to the station under his arm.
Joe and Dad were taxed $40 and
costs and each found an angel
McGraw refused to work with the
chain gang and went down below
to subsist on bread and water until
he changes his inclination. In the
future every drunk will be put to
work upon the chain gang, and the
fines are growing double what they
used to be.
The chain gang, composed OF ten
bobos, was started out this mornlnS
and is under the supervision of Wa''
Leiniger and the thick end OF 4

THE GOVERNOR MAY
Use SHARP KNIFE
ASSEMBLY ALLOWED TOO MUCH
May Veto Appropriations for New
State Buildings

Word comes from Denver that the
governor will use a sharp knife on
all appropriations which provide for
new buildings and that he intends
to make trip over the state an
ascertain for himself where these
new buildings are absolutely neces-
sary. II there is any way in which
Greeley can scare up some infiuence
now is the time to get busy, for We
sure need that training school at the
Normal
1t Is also said the governor IN
tends to cut the county fair appro-
priation which would have meant
much towards the success of the big
Weld county fair this summer.
The governor has satisfied himself
that the appropriations for the IN
stitutions are in excess of the an
ticipated revenues and he is now en-
deavoring to learn what items may
best be cut out.
1t is not improbable that the gov
ernor will veto the bill for the es-
Enlistment of a state home for men
tal detectives, which was to go 10
Fort Morgan, and also the Gunnison
and western slope normal schooi
bills.
All personal appropriation pliis
and also the state and county lal'
interpolation bills will probapiy oe
yetoed because of lack of FUNDS.

BROWN, THE NEGRO. GETS FIVE
HUNDRED MORE
ORDERED OFF PREMISES
A Synopsis of the Rattle With Fate
Of Mrs. Award, Who Lost Her
Family BY Sudden Death
Murder, Suicide and
Accident

Isaac Brown, the colored man.
won another victory Saturday In his
claim against the Clara Award es-
tate and was given some $500 worth
of stock which he claimed was his.
AS witness he had neighbor from
that vicinity who seemed to know
as much about the insane woman's
affairs as did the negro himself.
There was no testimony to be had
for the woman, who Is in the hospital
at Pueblo, and according to the evil
dence the court was compelled to
give the negro what he asked. How
ever, the court ordered the negro
off the premises and gave him until
| May Is to vacate.
There was as much tragedy in the
life of Clara Award as can be found
in a dime novel, and few women
could have gone through her expert
ence and kept out of the insane
asylum.
Clara Steele was Id year old when
she saw her father, Dan Steele, shot
down by a drunken boarder at Ev-
ans. She saw the assassin taken
out and hanged to tree.
A few years later she married
railroad man named Award and he
was killed in a wreck. She had one
daughter. The daughter married a
railroad man and he also was killed
: in a wreck. Four years ago the
daughter committed suicide and a
; year later Mrs. Awards mother was
killed in the San Francisco earth
quake.
y Twenty-three years ago Isaac
Brown. the colored man. was on the
: police force in Denver. He fell in
u with the Award woman in one OF
the by-ways. The woman had a
few dollars and together they came
to the vicinity of Hudson. where the
woman filed on claim. The negro
has now received about $4,000 worth
of stock and chattels. The fact that
he was black and the white woman
was feeble minded has created a
prejudice against Brown, although
he should be entitled to something
for his several years labor on the
farm.

swedish Synod Coaventioa

The Rev. GustafsOn returned Tues-
d,v evening from Linsborg. Kan.
where he had been In attendance at
tbe annual Kansas conference Of the
Augustana Synod OF the Swedish
church. He stated that among other
important business transacted . con-
stitution had been drawn up for an
old people's home to be built At Linz
borg in the near future. This home
will be partly supported by the con-
ference and partly by a small admis-
sion fee charged those who are able
to nav; a fee that will not be likely
to exceed $3.50 or 5000 and will en-
title the one admitted to a home for
life.
The conference has also an orphan
age at Mariadahl, Kan. to which an
addition will be built during the COM
ing wear at cost of about $4,000.
And that Is not all. Bethany col
lege at Linsborg belongs to the COIL
ference, as does also an academy at
Round Rock, Texas.
There are LOO congregations
within the Augustana Synod.
The next meeting will occur at

STORY LIKE ONE
BY JACK LONDON
HOBO GETS FREE RIDE ON U. =.
Trainmen Could Not Keep Him on.
So Arrested Him

The police Jailed tramp last
night on complaint of conductor
on one of the night trains. The "bo
rode all the way from Denver IN
spite of the entire train crew. He
was a persistent fellow and in any
other line would no doubt make his
mark in the world.
He was kicked off the blind baS-
gage at every station between Den
yer and Evans, but as soon as the
train would start up he would run
and catch it again. About mile out
of Evans the conductor stopped the
train and the brakemen grabbed the
hobo and took him into the coacn
and turned him over to the police
when they reached Greeley.
On the way to the police station
he tried to get away from Officer
Brown. A couple of shots from the
latters revolver brought him to
standstill, although the officer only
shot in the air to scare him.
In company with two other tramrs
he will be put to work making a
lawn about the city hall and library.

SCHEME TO MAKE
MONEY COME EASY
MERCHANTS TO FURNISH FUNDS
Efforts OF Strangers to Establish a
market Day" in Greeley

A couple of strangers landed in
town Saturday with new scheme
that will set the county on fire and
incidentally line the pockets of all
the merchants with rivulets of gold.
The new scheme is sort of public
iishpond and the Weld county farm
ers are going to be used as bait,
and the local merchant is the sucker
they are after.
The idea Is TO have big market
day and have all the farmers of the
county come to Greeley on some Sat
urday a couple of weeks hence, and
offer anything they might have for
sale at auction.
The merchant must pay the strans-
ers for bringing the crowd to town.
Each merchant puts up so much
money and in return he gets a little
card stuck up in his window with
the inscription Boost Market Day i.
The merchant is also assured that
the farmer will purchase a great
amount of goods upon that day.
1t is Just another OF the thousand
advertising schemes which the Gree
lev merchants have always turned
down and protitted thereby. The
farm sales in Weld county are ali
over now and every farmer is work :
ing overtime in the field and the
merchant will make more money by
letting him alone.
A market day next fall and an
other next spring would be all right
and both buyers and sellers would
profit by bringing all the stock and
chattels to a central point.
However, the affair should be con.
Quoted by onr local auctioneers, and
The man whose goods are sold should
cay the piper instead OF holding up
the Greeley merchants for the bene-
fit of ii couple of strangers.

Long Agreement

The electric light deal between
the Home company and the North
ern was closed last Saturday and
the Home plant will now be shut
down. The Tribune told of the
transaction two weeks ago, and but
for this the people of Greeley would
have received their home news Sec
ond hand from the denver papers.
One of the managers of the Home
company stated that he had told the
other papers. but that they had all
promised to keep quiet about it.
In the Denver. papers this morn
ing the account of the consolidation
was given by Robert McF. Doble,
who was employed by the Home
company about the time of the re-

According to the agreement be-

was two companies. the Home plant
will be closed down and the Office

LOOKING UP FIRE
FIGHTING SYSTEM
COMMITTEE IS INVESTIGATING
Big Auto Truck and General Alarm
System Contemplated

A representative of one of the larg-
est fire truck companies in the coun-
try, and also of the Gamewell fire
alarm system, has been in the city
for the past three days and has given
the fire chief, fire committee and the
mayor much information in regard
to fire fighting apparatus.
He has told the needs Of the city
and asked to submit his proposition
and bid In writing. Other factories
will be given the same privilege.
A fire alarm system is considered
as much of a necessity as the hre
fighting apparatus and the Gamewell
system is practically the universal
method the country over. 1t is es-
timated that Greeley would need
about twenty boxes and the cost VI
installation would be from $50 to
500 per box.
An up-to-date system and best
automobile truck would cost in the
neighborhood of 5000. but any OF
the large companies would be will
ing to let the payments cover per-
iod of three or four years or install
them on a lease system. with con-
tract for sale at stated time.
The committee expects to do con-
siderable investigating and 1t is not
likely that 1t will be ready to repoi
at the next meeting. There is nc
question, however. but that the coun-
Gil is unanimous In its desire to pro-
vide an effective fire department and
that it will be one of the first que 3
tions to lie discussed
