ANOTHER ALMOST
FATAL RUNAWAY
MOTHER AND CHILD IN DANGER
Horse Bolts With Mrs. John Luns-
from Of HillsbOrO

A frightened horse, running
across fields with baby alone and
helpless in the buggy which was be-
ing jerked along at rapid and dan
eerous pace. and the mother lying
unconscious by the roadside with her
head bruised by the wheels. was the
sight that made spectators at the
Allen Swink ranch turn cold with
horror. II was little short of u mir
acle that both child and mother did
not meet with death; but the baby
was none the worse for It's adventure.
and the mother. as soon AS she re-
gained consciousness, was found to
have received no injuries serious
enough to require a doctors care.
Mrs. John Lunstrom and child
we're the ones who figured In this
startling runaway Saturday alter
noon Mrs. Lunstrom was returning
rom Hillsboro where she had been
making some purchases and began
singing to the baby. This frightened
the horse; but she succeeded in quiet
ing the animal and stopped at the
Swnk ranch to leave some groceries
which she had purchased to save the
Swinks trip to town. The horse
was almost unmanageable and when
she attempted to get back in the
buggy she was caught between the
wheels Just what happened she
will never know for she was imme-
diately thrown to the ground and
rendered unconscious. The horse
holted down the field, but was caught
after time. Aside from the inevi-
table shock and the bruises, Mrs.
Lunstrom is all right today.

THOSE POOR POTATOES

Last winter there We're several
conferences between dealers and
growers of potatoes in the Greeley
district in regard to the matter of
sorting and grading potatoes with q
view of keeping up or bettering the
reputation of the Greeley tuber. Big
talk and long arguments were in
dulged in. Many good sound rea-
sons were advanced for the proposed
change. and it was practically agreed
at the last conference. if we remem-
Der right, that the proposed scheme
of sorting should be adopted. Now,
that the shipping season is on, it is
found that the dealers haven't the
backbone to enforce the sorting
scheme that was proposed by them
last winter and complaints of the
poor quality of this years crop are
not justified when all the facts are
known. AS leading potato grower
put it up to the Tribune man the
other day. the growers naturally mar
ket their poorest potatoes at the
time of digging, saving their best
goods to put in storage. Naturally
also they want to get as good a deal
for their second grade stuff as pos
sible, SO they promise to sell their
good spuds later on to the firm that
will handle their culls now. Com
petition among the buyers results in
accepting stuff for shipping tina,
ought never to leave town, and the
reputation of the whole Greeley croi
suffers by it.
The remedy seems to be up to tn,
dealer.

POTATO YIELD IS T.
GOOD NEAR EATON
HAIL HAS RUINED SOME FIELDS
Reports This Morning Show the Real
Situation in District

half dozen farmers in the Eaton
district were called by telephone last
saturday, the names being picked at
random from the telephone book, and
reports of their crops obtained. A
small part of the Eaton section was
badly hailed early in the summer,
but even in that strip of territory
things apparently are not so bad.
For instance, w. l.. Dedrick, who has
finished digging, reports that his
spuds went from sixty to 100 sacks
to the acre. His ranch was in the
hail belt and for time it looked as
tnouSh the crop was ruined.
n. G. French has between fifty
ana sixty acres that are making from
ninety to 100 sacks.
w. e. l.. Harbour was not on hand
10 give an account himself. but re-
ports from his ranch are to the effect
that some of his potatoes are running
as hlgh as l15 sacks to the acre
others are not nearly so good
X. NJ. Haythorn believes that his
VIII go little better than 100 sacks
TO the acre on the average Some
are better than this and some not SO
good. He has ninety or ninety-iive
ares in spuds on his home place and
IL VIII be another week before the
crop is all harvested.

Letters NAV save Money

The fact that he saved 4 half dozen
letters received from his father years
ago will now result in securing fol
s W. Bronson, a farmer who lives
just east of Greeley some $4,000
which was left TO him from his moth
er's estate,
Since the mothers death the con-
I ditions have become so complicated
that his interests might have been
/ lost had it not been for the evidence
/ of the preserved letters. These Iet-
/ ters were photographed this morn
/ ing at the court house by Mr.. Minis,
who is reproducing for the Weld
County Abstract company by this
method complete set of the county
records.
Mr.. Bronson's mother died in Mass
schusetts eighteen years ago, leaving
an estate valued at $4,000 to the
three children and the father. She
made no VIII. but when the children
became of age they agreed with the
father that the mothers estate should
be left intact and remain in the use
and possession of the father while
he lived. The estate consisted of bank
stock. notes and mortgages.
A few years ago the father divided
these securities into three separate
packages and sealed them in envel-
opes upon which was written the
name Of the son to whom they SHOULD
revert at his death. The boy near
Greeley received communication
from his parent enclosing an inven-
tory of the package which belonged
to him, which was deposited in an
eastern bank.
The father died year ago at an
extreme age. enervated both physic-
ally and mentally. He left a will
which cut the Colorado boy off with
81. claiming that he had already
been provided for. Besides the moth
er's property the father left a large
estate of his own. Mr.. Bronson saws
his father had given HIM during his
lifetime some $4,000.
Just before his death the father
wrote to the bank instructing them
to include in his own estate the en-
velope directed to the son in Colo
rado, thus depriving the latter OF his
share OF his mothers property, and
only 81 from the fathers estate.
This of course was illegal and the
letter with the inventory will secure
for S. W. Bronson his one-third share
of his mother property. at least
this is the conclusion of the local at
torney who is fighting the case

THE POTATO CROP

About the first of September or i
little earlier every year the potato
grower in the Greeley district be-
comes panic stricken and hrmIy
makes up his mind that the crop Is
going to be a complete failure, all
the farmers become bankrupt and
the country go to- the bow-wows. lie
is morally satisfied that his and his
neighbor's potatoes will not go over
twenty-five or thirty sacks to the
acre, and any suggestion to the con-
trary is regarded as pure insult, in
tended solely TO force the price OF
potatoes down. Then later, when ac-
tual digging is under way, it is found
that the crop isn't so nearly failure.
after all. Thus it goes, year after
year, and history repeats itself.
These remarks are called forth by
the fact that this year the spud crop
is nearly as good as usual, in spite
of the croakers. There are excep-
tions, where the bugs or the grass
hoppers or the hail, or all three, got
in their work, but for the most part
ihe yield will run close to an average
of 100 sacks. For week past the
Tribune has called up grower after
grower, to learn from first hands |
just how the tubers are turning out. I
The names have been picked abso-
lutely at random, running down page
after page of the telephone directory,
and the bad yields have been given
with the good ones. A few total
failures are reported, and a few par
1ial ones, but for the most part, the
report a yield around 100 /
sacks. These figures are being print !
I'd in the Tribune day after day. and
f they are not accurate the fault lies ,
With the grower whose name is given :

has eighty teams of mules, three
elevating graders and forty dunn
wagons. besides a raft of other tools
and commissary. which go to make
up first-class grading outfit.

CULTS NEVER new
SAYS Mr.. RIDDELL
ALL ANTEDAIE CHRIsTIANITY
The Lecturer Talks ON ''Chr>tian
Mysteries Unveiled"

y. \. Riddell's lecture Monday
night in the Methodist church was ON
the subject of "Theosophy, Now
Thought, Christian Science and
Christianity. The speaker reI sled
his usual broadness of concep, and
clearness OF vision in the handling
of this complex subject and while
his theme was one that would seem
to tread on the corns OF many there
was not single stone throw but
all was spoken in fairness 10 all.
In part, he said:
Solomon said. There is n new
thing under the sun. III w INIT
this statement to spiritual Nerties
and religious realities 1t is 'lite.ally
true. The most superficial Tudy of
ancient wisdom and Oriental oocult-
ism will convince the investigator
that all the doctrines Of our New
Thought movement are but revivals
and restatements of teachings that
held sway long before the ginning
of the Christian era. Christian
Science is restatement of he an
cient doctrine of idealism ientical
in its doctrine and metaphystcs with
the Vedentic philosophy Modern
thosophy is a revival OF the ancient
doctrine of evolution by incarna-
ton and Karma building The New
Thought cult presents the ancient
psychology of progress by affirma-
tion--I will be what ! will % be-.
progress by suggestion and expert
ence.
Since all OF these systems ante
date Christianity, it is not uprising
that none of them presents vicar
ious atonement or the saCrifice of
Christ as the way OF attainment
| What our New Thought f5lks need
is this addition,-God' greatest gift
to man, whereby they may imme-
diately reach the goal OF all ancient
systems; namely, conscious oneness
with the Father"
| Tonight Mr.. Riddell will 7peak on
From Adam to Christ In this
lecture he promises to give ne def
mite psychological steps in making
the transition from the uatural to
the spiritual plain and tell row one

Deal In Realty

BY vote o 80 to 4 the Unitarian
society decided Friday evening to
close the option and purchase the
Camfield property at the corner of
Ninth street and Tenth avenue. While
the option has been standing less
than ninety days. 1t is estimated that
the society will make at least 10000
by the rise in the value OF the prop
erty In that time.
This was occasioned by the pur-
chase OF the adjoining property by
the Elks and the general advance
In all downtown property as the re-
suit OF railroad and industrial ac-
tivity.
The property has 1876 foot front
age on Ninth street and 100 feet on
the avenue. and the price paid, in
cluding the handsome residence, was
but $4,000. Fifty feet OF this will
be sold to the county for $4,000
and it is also possible that the re-
mainng seventy-five feet, including
the building. may be sold and the
new home of the society erected on
the rear eighty-five feet which front
the avenue.
No disposition has rs yet been
made of the old property. The trus-
tees OF the society will negotiate the
deal today. The old building and
site will be sold as soon as definite
arrangements for the new ediflce can
be concluded. II is understood that
Mt least four different interests are
Mt work today in an effort to get pos

ARGUMENT OVER DITCH
LEADS TO AN INJUNCTION

BY an injunction decree signed yes-
1erday afternoon by Judge Webster.
Michael Flynn, John d. Flynn,
Michael y. Flynn and Dennis
r. Flynn are enjoined from
interfering with the ditch BUILDING
operations of contractor in the en-
ploy OF John NJ. Redmond and C. c.
LoWney. Complaint was filed early
yesterday by the last named two.
VINO claim that all of the parties to
the suit made an agreement to build
an irrigation ditch and that when
the ditch was about half completed,
Michael Flynn refused to go on with
the work. 1t is also set out that
Flynn refused to let the ditch be
built, even after Redmond and Low
ney had let the contract for the re.
mainder of the work and intended to
pay the expense themselves, without
any financial aid from Flynn.
