An incident IN animal life which posi-

few weeks ago on the estate OF George

Soon after, Mr. Watson arrived at his
Eastern Point residence a fawn was born
in the grass land around the residence
During the winter, OF course. there was
nothing to disturb the deer and they wan
dered at will around the estate. When
Il was time TO cut the grass a moving
machine was put TO work. and the Eharp
knife OF the mower found the little fawn
while It was cuddled UP in the herbaga
One leg was cut quite badly-so badly
that the baby deer was unable to set
away. II was taken care Of by Mr.. Wat
son and the injured leg treated,
The little chap seemed TO understand
that It was in good hands and responded
to the treatment. 1t was left where

came along and attended to the provision
Of food. the youngster gaining health and
strength daily. Now thF little chap has
fully recovered and is able to fight It's
own life battle. More ardent lovers Of
animal and bird life than Mr.. and Mrs.
Watson cannot be found. and they are
well pleased to know that the fawn they
cared for Is able 20 follow its mother and
enjoy the freedom OF Groton woods.
II has been accorded 10 very few, even
those who spend much time In the wilds.

Mrs. Watson saw their little pet.

Vittorio raised the rifle and did it again

Peters feelings by now were too COM

by the recently appointed board Of con-

NEW OFFICERS.
OF the Arkansas Valley Fair Assoeia-


The board of directors of the Ar.
kansas Valley Fair association, who
were elected at the stockholders
meeting held last week, met today
and elected the following officers fol
the ensuing year: President, J. W.
Beatty; vice president, J. II. Crowley
treasurer, II. J. Sprinkler; secretary
G. NJ. Hall: assistant secretary
George E. Preble; track superintend-
cnt, w. J. Brown; track marshal
Louis Swink: executive committee, J.
H. Beatty. chairman, G. NJ. Hall, H.
J. Sprinkler. Charles Recker, c. V.
Ryan, Louis Swink, Louis Sickenbur
ger.
1t was determined by the board
that an effort will be made to have
other associations in the valley from
Canon City down to Dodge City, Ks,
arrange their speed programmes and
fix their fair dates early. If this plan
is carried out, race circuit can be
formed that would attract some of
the fastest horses in the country thu:
otherwise could not be induced to
come. II they could start at Dodge
City, Kas.. and follow up the valley
with entries at Lamar, Las Animas,
Rocky Ford. Pueblo and Canon City
there would be no long shipments for
the horses and loss of time. Another
good feature of an arrangement Of
this kind would be. an increased
number of entries, which would cna-
Bile the different fair associations to
offer larger purses.
