SAFETY GUARD IN ACTION
Meyer Device to Prevent Street Car
Accidents is Successfully Tried
on Farnam Street.

An effective demonstration of the Meyer
Safety Guard company's device for street
cars is being furnished on the West Far
nam street line. A car equipped with the
guard is making regular trips east and
west.
The guard represents the recent improved
and patented device of the company for
open cars and consists OF a broad strip
raised and lowered along the side of the
car and hung so far out that passengers
can stand on the footboard. The device
Is constructed on a so-called gravity prin-
ciple." the visible part being balanced by
hidden weights. A lever operated by the
motorman raises and lowers the protecting
strip, which swings inward at It's highest
elevation.
The guard has been shown by these trial
trips TO be a thorough success. 1t fuifiIls
It's first essential-tha Of keeping passen-
gers from jumping on or off a moving car
and keeps those already on from being
thrown off or from falling.
The guard will appeal to street car com
panies because 1t will reduce the number OF
accidents and consequently the number OF
damage claims and suits. ITS operation is
speedy and the local tests show that the
regular schedule is not delayed by a second.
One hundred and thirty-seven street car
companies have asked a demonstration by
the Meyer Safety Guard company Of it's

Meeting Wednesday.

The methods and problems of the Com

promotion and publicity were outlined to
members OF the Omaha Real Estate ex-
change by Chairman c. C. Rosewater at
the Wednesday noon meeting.
The bureau, said the speaker, is pro-

utmost good from q given convention, but
the primary idea that of the numbers
attracted by a convention, some will be
favorably inclined to adopt Omaha as their
permanent place Of residence. The net re-
suit Of many a convention so far as i'm
mediate money return is concerned, is not
large, being balanced by expenditures for
entertaining and so forth. Permanent popu-
lation increase is the real and ultimate
good therefrom.

be rather chaty about paid advertising

SHEEP AND CATTLE WAR
cidents of the Conflict for Graz
ing Lands in the
West.

A m~iddle-aged, ~foreign-born American,
Swanson had gradually acquired a small
flock of sheep. Always a hard worker, he
was also sober and respected, a stubborn
man. tenacious OF what he felt to be his
rights. Consequently. when he heard that
the sheep and cowmen, in their respective
associations, had selected as a dead-line
the boundary between Delta and Mesa
counties, two of the divisions shorn off the
western portion Of odd Gunnison," he
resolutely decided to disregard such re-
strlctlon to his grazing rights. Therefore,
In the late autumn, some three years ago.
he drove his sheep from summer pastures
down across the Uncompahgre valley, west
ward past the thriving little city OF Delta,
on toward Kama creek and the White
water, on across the dead-line. A single
heTder. only, was with him. Suddenly,
with a hoarse shout, a party Of masked
men rode upon them.
Swanson, up with your hands. BY God!
you sh'a' enter the cow land with that
bunch OF sheep cried the leader.
Up went the leaders hands. Like a flash
up came Swansan's rifle.
I'm an American Citizen said he, spirit
edly. This is government land. I'll stand
to my rights"
One Of the riders raised his carbine.
Swanson covered him-his gun snapped. A
puff Of smoke from the riders and Pete
Swanson was dead. The herder was
promptly tied and gagged. Then, bend
ing low in their saddles, the horsemer

butchery was completed. .
A stake now marks the spot. Though
locals and Pinkertons have striven for the
y 1000 reward offered by the Uncompahgre
valley sheepmen for the apprehension OF
the murderer, he is still at large, Some
say that he might be found near the Uin-
tab Indian reservation, but whoever would
secure that reward must needs be quick on
the trigger.
Some months after this tragedy a body
Of masked men rode in upon a flock OF
a thousand head grazing in the Gunnisor

owner fingered his 90.SO carbine, counted
