BIG BEET CROP
CAN'T BE BEAT
YIELD THIS YEAR IN NORTHERN
COLORADO WILL BRING
ABOUT $4,000, 900.
HARVEST VI DAYS HERE
NOTWITHSTANDING LATE SPRING
AND HEAVY RAINS THE CROP
Is VERY ENCOURAGING.

Beet harvesting has begun in North.
erh Colorado and the farms in that
district are gathering in crop that
will yield them upwards of s5,O00.00O.
The best sugar factories of the
great Western Sugar Company at
Loveland, Longmont and Ft. Collins
are being overhauled and put in work
ing order, SO that they may be ready
to begin the manufacture OF sugar the
latter part of this week or the first
part of next week
The tonnage this year will show a
large increase over the crop of last
season, and the farmers will profit
greatly thereby, but the output of the
wactories will not increase. as the per-
centage OF sugar in the beets is not
as great this season as last
The reasons assigned for the de-
ficiency of sugar in the beets are late
planting and the unusual amount of
rainfall during the summer. In spite
OF these handicaps the crops have
thrived wonderfully we'll, showing. as
stated above. a large increase in ton
mage.
The harvesting of the beets and
their transportation to the points
where the factories are located will
take until the latter part of November,
and during the time the electric and
steam roads of the Great Western
Sugar Company and the branches of
the Union Pacific will have all the
business they can handle.
The present has certainly been
year Of plenty for the farmers in
Northern Colorado. Potato shipments
have already started from the Greeley
district. 1t is estimated that fully 12,-
900 cars of potatoes will be shipped
out OF the Greeley district this year
as compared with 10000 cars last
year.

cowboy KILLED over sheep.

Steamboat Springs. Colo.-Horace
Williams. cowboy who has ridden
the range in every western state, met
death here early Monday morning in
q mysterious manner. He, with other
cowboys, had been drinking during
the evening. and near midnight met
. number of sheepherdsrs who were
also in with big flock of sheep from
Wyoming. The cowboys had driven
in thousand head OF cattle for ship
ment. both gangs coming in from the
Snake river section, near the line
separating the two interests.
1t is claimed Williams went behind
the counter at one of the restaurants
and secretly secured his gun. Then
he stepped out behind the Anderson
saloon In the Brooklyn part of Steam
boat Springs. With him were two
sheepherders and one other cowboy.
1t is claimed that three reports fol-
lowed from guns in quick succession
and Williams was found with a smok-
ing revolver in his hand. He rushed
into the saloon and dropped down
into a chair, remarking to one of the
men: 81 got him." and within five
minutes he had bled to death from a
wound in the right leg just below the
