RECORD GROWTH ON A
BEAVER PARK APPLE TREE

Penrose. Colo. Oct. 21.-Mr. Thurs
ton White, manager of the improve
ment department for the Beaver Land
company, measured the growth of
Jonathan apple tree set out last
spring on a ten-acre tract on Beaver
Canon City. and found by actual
measurement the combined growth
to be forty-four feet and four inches.
Mr.. White measured the growth on
each limb separately and then totaled
the entire measurement. This is un-
doubtedly a state record for the
growth of an apple tree for the first
year set out and 1t only proves fur
ther that Beaver Park will lead all
other sections in the apple growing
industry in a few years. when the
young orchards come into bearing.
This wonderful growth is not only on
Mr.. Staples tract. but on many others
as we'll. and as a consequence of the
splendid condition of the young apple
trees set out last spring all land own
ers are very enthusiastic, and this
coming spring will see an additional
1900 acres set out. which will give
Beaver Park close to 5000 acres OF
orchards. or more than one-half OF
the entire acreage of orchards in Fre-
mont county. This has all been ac-
complished in two years time.
Fox & Smith. the contractors on the
Schaeffer dam. are now placing 1000
yards of dirt day in the dam. as they
have forty teams at work. The steam
shovel and Davenport locomotives
will be in operation by November 1.
and then 5000 yards a day will be
handled by the shovel and teams.
This means abundance of storage wa
ter for Beaver Park this coming year.

gentleness and love attracted to her

Clyde A. Brown, who obtained the
sum of $3.50 from the banks In this
city by means of forged checks on
the 18th, inst, was arrested In Dem

this city and lodged in Jail pending
his trial at the November term OF

by the Colorado Savings q Trust Co.
Of La Junta In favor OF John w. Tay-
ior OF that place. Subsequently he
worked the same scheme at the Ciu-
Eens State Bank and at the First Ma
tional Bank. but in each OF the latter
instances the amount was for $3.50.
The matter OF Browns forgeries was
at once placed in the hands of the
sheriff here and through the publicity
1t obtained in that way among the
authorities of the state he waws taken
into custody.
Brown was known to be 4 pretty
slick crook and a sharp lookout was
kept for him in all OF the larger cit
les of Colorado. The banks here are
determined TO prosecute him TO the
full extent OF tho law and there seems
little likelihood he will be able to
escape a term in the penitentiary.

SKELETONS OF INDIANS
FOUND IN VICINITY
OF TURKEY CREEK

From Fridays Daily.
On Turkey Greek. few miles west
of Pueblo, the grading gang making
excavations for the Kansas-Colorado
railroaod. has unearthed an old In
dian burial ground. The discovery
was made yesterday on the farm of
George Franks. and the evidence in
dicates that many Indian warriors
are there waiting the call to the happy
hunting grounds.
At a depth OF ten feet a number
OF skeletons in fair state OF preser-
walton have been unearthed and be-
sides the skeletons are found arrow
heads and Indian trlnkets. The skulls
found are believed to be Indian skulls
beyond a doubt. and by careful ex-
cavating the skeletons can be remoy-
ed without destroying them. The
teeth are perfectly preserved and a
great many of the skeletons are In
good shape.
The school children near by have
removed one skull and are engaged
In securing q skeleton. In several IN
stances the bones of the skeletons
remain intact when removed with any
care. II Is believed from the
distance apart at which the skeletons
have been found that hundreds of In
dians are buried In the old cemetery.
The line of survey OF the railroad has
evidently crossed the old cemetery.
Years ago small mounds and piles
OF stone are said to have existed at
the place where the cemetery is now
located and 1t was believed to have
been an Indian burying ground. al
though no investigation was ever
made.
The burying ground was not known
within memory of the oldest settlers
in this section and the cemetery is
probably prehistoric and was used by

ity to realize his ambition, have de-
termined to select the candidate by

This examination will be held at

ber 2S and 29. 1909. make the an
nouncement this far in advance so
that all qualified young men may have
full notice and ample opportunity to
prepare. The examination will be
conducted by a non-partisan board
of eminently qualified educators and
physicians.
Every candidate must be between
sixteen and twenty years OF age Oh
the third Tuesday in April. 1910. when
the official government examination

Every candidate between sixteen
