MUST NOT LEAVE DEAD
ANIMALS TO PURIFY NEAR
THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY

According to reports that reach the
ONCE OF the Daily Record somebody
living not very far away Is liable to
under the statutes Of Col
orado for leaving the carcasses Of
dead horses and other animals to
purify in the vicinity OF one OF the
public highways leading out OF Canon
City. Complaint has been made that
people travelling the Silver Cliff road
are compelled to submit to offensive
smells arising from the swollen and
distorted carcasses OF several horses
lying but q short distance from the
driveway. half mile or so south
OF the Nonac coal mine, or. Number
Five, as It was formerly called. To
leave animals to decay along the pub
lie roads II not only disgusting and
unsanitary. but Ia in violation OF the
laws of the state, which provide .
severe penalty for offenses Of that
character. The attention OF the coun-
ty health onicer has been directed to
the matter and II the offenders are
caught, will. no doubt. be given the
punishment they deserve. Under the

SURVEY ON THE PROPOSED
NEW ROYAL GORGE ROAD
COMPLETED YESTERDAY
From Fridays Daily.

FIOH EEiuAy Dohy'
After several weeks OF almost con-
slant work the survey OF the proposed
new public road to Parkdale. via the
top OF the Royal Gorge. was COM
pleted yesterday and estimates OF its
cost will be filed with the county
commissioners In the course OF the
next four or five days. The engineers
found no insuperable difficulties In
the way OF constructing the contem-
platter road. indeed. were surprised In
making the survey to learn that It
could be built 80 easily. 1t 10 believed
by those In charge OF locating the line
that a FIRST class highway with an
easy gradient can be constructed from
Three Mile Springs to the top Of the
Royal Gorge and on to Parkdale at .
cost not exceeding $4,000. provided
convict labor is used. II the survey is
followed a magnificent scenic road
way, such as the people of Fremont
county would be proud OF. will be Gre
ated; a matter In which the public 10
deeply concerned. A soon as the es-
Inmates are presented to the county
commissioners. which will be some
time next week. the question OF build
ing the road will be taken up for final
consideration. 1t is safe to say that
there is no public enterprise that
would be more popular with the peo-
pie at large than the construction OF
the much talked about hikhway to
Parkdale by way Of the top OF the
Royal Gorge and 1t is hoped that the
commissioners will act favorably up
on the matter. It will be shorter by
more than ive miles than the presen.
route.

Members of Team start In In Best OF
Condition.

IDA GROVE, Ia, Sept M.-(Special.)-
The Ida Grove foot ball squad this year is
big in size as we'll as in members, and Il
Is apparent that Ida Grove will have a team
that will be one OF the heaviest this place
ever turned out. There have been thirty
men out In uniform each night this week,
and Il Is plain this early In the day that
Coach chlaf is a taskmaster. Thomas
was a horse for work himself and expected
every man on the squad to follow his pace,
but he loafed along with the men the first
week OF two and then started the drive
that did not let up until the end OF the sea-
son. Schlafer works with an entirely diff

ing on the farm during the summer there
was little necessity Of starting the work
easy in order to get rid Of surplus weight,
and as a result he started the hard work
on the start, and the week ends with the
preliminary practice well advanced.
The practice has progressed sufficiently
to make Il plain that Ida Grove Will again
be in Glass A this season. There are so
many veterans on the squad this year that
the work OF the coach has been much sim
.velop a team he finds that he has come mere
to finish off a team hat was already in
good shape.
Albert Bird, who played center last year,
is again at the keystone of Ida's line Ray
Harrigan. who played q great guard last
year, Is again In that place. and II IL prob
able that Orian Scott. a brother OF Homer
Scott, who played the other guard last sea-
- $50. sNSs ~
Johnston and Cecil Harrigan will make two
strong men. They are both old-timeTs on
the squad. For ends, Louis Fobes is back
again and Addison Kinser, substitute half
OF 1908, is being worked at the other end
with good results. Clayt Pitcher, who
worked at half last year, has been moved
up to quarter for a tryout there. Big Ben
Todd, who captains the team this season,
will play one Of the halves, and Lee Horn
Is pulled back from end. where he made
the All-Iowa last year, and placed In the
other quarter. Todd and Horn will make
a pair of backs that will be heard from.
Homer Scott, who made good at guard last
year, has been pulled back to fullback. He
is heavy, but a plunger, and has a great
genius for forward passing. Todd. Horn
and Scott max a trio Of backs that are
not only fast, but they can stand the gaff,
and IL the line will hold 1t is a clnch those
backs are going to make themselves felt
on the high school gridiron Of the state
this fall.
Now tina Ida Grove is seeking games to
n. its schedule, all those would-be cham
pionship teams OF last year that filled the
papers with challenges when they knew the
schedule was complete, are keeping re-
markably quiet.

GOOD wREsTLE ron EAGLE WEEK
WesterEaaPd and Possibly OrdemRu
May Meet at Auditorium.

Manager Gillian of the Auditorium is
planning a good wrestle. for the Eagles
during the convention a the Auditorium.
He has an agreement with Thorson, man
ager for Jess Westergaard, that the big
Dane will come and meet any first-class
man Gillian may be able to get.
Gillian is anxious to secure Ordeman, the
Minneapolis Norwegian who made a mon
key OF the vaunted DR.. Roller of Seattle
in the latter city the night OF September g.
II he succeeds In bringing together these
two giant Scandinavians he will certainly
have a match worth watching and one the
Eagles will have to esteem as a big feature
OF their convention.
Westergaard is a prime favorite In

artist and Is better this year than ever and
coming all the time. He is anxious 10 beat
Ordeman, whom Gotch regards as one OF
the very top-notch young men OF the
world.
Ordeman went into DR.. Rollers home
city and beat him to a ~standstill. Roller
had boosted for many years that aside
from his merciless defeat by Gotch, he
had never lost a fall In Seattle. Ordeman
had never met him. buts after wrestling
one hour with the doctor. he picked Roller
up, dashed him down on the mat and piled
on top Of him, and Roller was carried 70
his dressing room unconscious. Three doc
tors worked over him and within an hour
he was able to ask how II happened. Roller
had attempted to rough II with the Nor
wegian, not knowing that that was the

LINCOLN CLEANS UP THE SERIES
Denver IL shut Out in Both Ends of n
DOubIe-Header,

LINCOLN, Sept. I0-The Lincolns made
II five straight from Denver today by win
ming two shut-out Victories. The morning
score was s TO 0. while the record In the
afternoon was 3 to O. The locals were In
good form, playing brilliant ball in the field
and hitting the Denver pitchers savagely
and with splendid results In both con-
tets. Maggie was touched for seven safe
drives In the morning, but kept the hits
scattered so well that only two Denver
runners reached third. Thomas home run
drive off Bohannon sent three runs over
the plato in the third inning and cinohed
the victory for Lincoln. Two double plays,
both engineered by Mag, were the field
Ing features.
Both teams played az top speed in the
Afternoon and raced through the nine in
nlnGs IN. siXty-eight minutes a record for
the season at Lincoln park. McCafferty
let the DenverS down with three hits, one
OF which wes a scratch, Jones beating out
an iEfield popup. The Denver manager was
the only one OF the visitors to reach third.
Lincoln punched hits off Durham in the
early part OF the contest and scored often
enough to win. Waldron led in the ~slugglng
for the locals with three hits, including a
three-bagger, CookmRn starred in the field,
accepting eight chances. The Sunday game

BoLEs NAILS SIOUX CITY LIE
TOpeka Acting Manager Denies Peev-
ish Towns WeIchinR,

I'VE would be justified in doing almost
anything from the treatment accorded us
the last lime we were in Sioux City, but
we are too good sports for that and care
too much for our standing in the league
and In organized base ball. If Des Moines
beats us in the coming series 1t will be be-
cause we are unable to beat Des Moines."
This is the reply of Acting Manager Boles
Of Topeka to the puerile yarn sent down
from Sioux City that Topeka had agreed
TO throw all of its coming games with
Dss Moines in order that the Iowans
might secure a commanding lead over
Sioux City and beat the latter out of the
pennant.
This cry from the water tank up north Is
nothing new and is received in Omaha as
nothing more than the welching OF a lot
OF near-sports who, seeing their ability
to get the pennant for nothing as they did
last season, or win II without a fight, have
been seized by a severe spell of cold feet
and resorted to the cutters trick Of hol-
lering.
II is pointed out thai with Glenalvin in
Sioux City that team has been winning
two a day for a week or so and ought to
be able to keep 1t up, for Glenalvin and
Holmes are two of a kind.
What more do those rats want7' de-
manded a fan down at the Smoke House
do they want umpires like Glenalvin all
over the league so they may not only be
assured Of winning all their games, hut
that Des Moines and Omaha, their rivals
for the flag may be compelled to lost all
thelr's?'

SIOUX FALLS. s. D., Sept 1o-(spe-
cial.)-The bitterness existing for some
time between the few remaining cattle
men and the homesteaders residing In
the vicinity OF Quinn, one Of the new
towns between the Missouri river and the
Black Hills. in western South Dakota
has been intensified by the recent shoot
ing by unknown persons Of thirteen head
Of cattle belonging to John Hart, a promi-
nent cattleman. Six OF the animals were
killed outright and the others have since
died. II Is believed the shooting was lone
by homesteaders, who were incensed be-
cause their corn crops had been destroyed
by the cattle, and took this method OF
showing their resentment toward the cat
tlemen. whose herds they wish moved te
other parts Of the northwest. The shoot
ing OF the cattle has been Investigated BY
the authorities, but they we're unable "a
