today Cd the reports of Commander

a VERY SICK MAN.
Edward n. Hartman Suffers Attack of
Acute indigestion.

Arden, n. V. Sept. All the alarming
rumors regarding the condition of Ed
ward II. Hartman have been revived,
following his relapse of Sunday night.
From the best information obtainable to-
day, however, it is believed that the at
tack that caused hurry call for a New
York nurse and probably two nurses, one
for day and one for night, was Il tenn
porary sickness caused by a sudden
change of temperature or an indiscretion
in diet which the sick man in his weak

DR.. w. G. Lyle, Mr.. Harriman's private
physician, calls the attack ''acute ind-

said that his patient was better.

"BoOze" Found In Eaton

Deputy Sheriff Charles Peterson
led burglar search at Eaton Thurs
day afternoon, which included the
getting out of search warrants and
the investigation of about thirty ne
gro and Mexican dwellings in the vi
cinity of the sugar factory. Not an
article of the goods stolen during the
past two weeks was uncovered. but
the officers did not have their trou-
BILE for nothing. They found that
each shack was 'bootlegging" es-
tablishment and wagon load of
booze" was taken and destroyed.
The Mexicans in particular were
found to have a large stock of liquor
on hand.
No clue whatever was obtained to
the thieves. With the robbery of
the Logue residence Thursday night,
it is certain that the thieves are
playing a shrewd game and are sure
of their grounds. 1t is now suspect
ed that there is woman in the case
in all of the burglaries ana persons
who are acquainted in Eaton have
freely expressed this opinion. 1t
looks like martial law would become
necessary.

Mystic Letter &c"

Much wonderment has been caused
in Greeley the last few days by the
discovery of the letter c. in pencil
marks on the door casing of about
nineteen out of twenty residences
The letter is on the right hand side
of the front door about level with
the eyes. If the casing is dark it is
written on the siding just to the right
of the door
The mark had been unnoticed by
the residents until it was spoken OF
by an agent, who was canvassing
the town last week He had noticed
it in his travels about town, and
spoke of it to a woman on Fifth
street. This woman had not seen
the mark but when she found it on
her own door she visited the front
porches of all her neighbors in the
block and found the same letter.
A Tribune reporter was asked this
morning If the mark had been used
by the directory canvassers, but they
plead not guilty. so the mystery
is unsolved
Does CO mean We are good,
greedy or gullible?
Another popularity is that at many
homes the word Nolan is written
over the C.. The agent who first
discovered the odd markings says
that in Denver the word Nolan"
and that alone, appears on the ma
jority of the door castings.

Lamb Feeders Ready to Quit
Eight dollars to break even.


This is what the lamb feeders OF
this district declare they will have
to receive as a price for fed lamu
next spring in order to break even on
the feeding this year. This means
that the lamb market will have to
boom IS year to give them any
profit and insure a continuance OF
an industry which is coming to be
recognized as a part OF the work OF
a Weld county farmer. The risk OF
feeding this year with the prevail
ing high prices of feed and the short
age in the alfalfa crop, presents a
poor outlook for the business.
Two years ago 1900 cars of lambs
were fed in northern Colorado, while
last year only about 1.5OO cars were
fed. Present indications are that
less than 1000 cars will be fed in
all of northern Colorado including
the famous Fort Collins district. The
chief drawback according to the feed
ers is the high price for lambs on
the range. They declare that unless
the lambs can be bought cheaper,
they will have to abandon the busi-
ness this year and let the hockmas-
terS keep them.
