SCHOOL HOUSE ROW

The new school house at Hudson
may be delayed as the result of a
law suit filed In the district court on

ahead with the structure.
About half the residents of the

John w. Hoback against the direc-
tors and the contractors.
One of the directors is Hoback s.

being sred by the son. 1t Is claimed
by the plaintiff that the contract was

the first instance, and later taken
away from him and given to one.

In their answer the directors init

MAIN STREET
PRESSURE WEAK

The rate man of the fire under
writers' association made test OF
the Are pressure on the city mains
this morning and the result was any
thing but fatteriug. Considering
the head. or elevation of the storage
basin on Normal hill, a sixty pound
pressure should be maintained under
normal conditions. Only twenty
pounds could be obtained in the test
with one line stretched and this was
cut down to twelve and half when
two lines were stretched. The under
writer's consider forty pounds with
the nozzle open as essential for fight
ing fires.
Tho small pipe down Eighth ave
nue. in the business district is blamed
for he poor test and the city has al
ready provided the pipe and Will be-
gin at once the installation OF q

"GRIM REAPER"
SCARED COLTS
WILD DASH
Self Binder in Full Action Attached
to Runaway Team in Crowded
Street Yesterdays Thriller
Nobody Hurt

Only the grit, strength and en-
durance of W. o. Michaels, grower
who lives west of Greeley, prevented
catastrophe that might have he
suited in many deaths Monday after
nocn. Breathless awe chained pc
destrians to the spot and many
turned their eyes away to shut out
the sight of man being ground to
pieces.
Imagine team of colts, hitched
to a mammoth self binder, tearing
ing and the fast moving sickle of the
reaper spelling death for every OBJ
ject il it's path, together with the
rattle of the big machine which
sounded like the rumble of artil-
lery en- the hard pavement. A man
perched on the high seat pulling and
tugging at the lines and all this on
the main street at in the afternoon,
when the thoroughfare was crowded
with mer, women, little children and
vehicles.
Michaels was bringing t he self
binder to Greeley for repairs when
the colts became frightened at the
street cars in front of the library.
They were going some when they
turned south at the city hall and
down Ninth avenue each side of
which was lined with rigs. Michaels,
who saw he had not the strength to
stop the mad animals, turned all his
attention to guiding them. The width
of the machine required almost half
the street. At the intersection of
| Eighth street the extension struck
the watering trough in the middle
of the road and the impact lifted
Michaels four feet off his high seat.
Everyone expected to see him land in
front of the reaper and be chopped
or crushed to pieces. but instead he
alightei on the grain bed below. He
still held to the reins, kept cleaI
, head and turned the animals NORTH
a at the court house Jim Wilbur
, who drives the Twist sprinkline
, wagon. leaped from the top of his
wagon and landed on the grain bed
beside Michaels as the runaway pass
ed him. Both men grabbed the reins
and brought the colts to a standstill
There were fifty hair breadth es-
capes and the excitement surpassed
similar event of a year ago when
team of mules made the circuit of
the business district carrying a lone
woman on the seat.

RATE MAN SEES
REAL FIRE RUN

The fire department went out for
exercise Yesterday afternoon and dis
covered real fire. A make shift
coal shed in the rear of the Cam
field hotel became ignited and the
flames were communicated to light
and telephone pole.
The fire department had drawn up
at the corner of the Greeley Ma
tional bank for the purpose of al
lowing the underwriters rate man to
test the pressure of the city water
mains. While the test was in pro
sress a small boy called the atten-
tion of the chief to the volumes of
smoke issuing from the vicinity of
the Camtield. The auto made dash
for the Camfield hotel while the fire
men made a coupling at the bank
corner. 1t was not over minute
from the time the fire was discov-
cred until the hose was playing upon
it and the flames eXtinguished. The
chief damage was to the light and
telephone poles which We're consider
ably burned Instead of false
alarm the rate man was given real
test of Greeley's fire department

Sheriff Ben Florance returned at
8 O'Clock last evening from Sterling
where he took the bodies of the
murdered man and child.
A jury was selected from the resi-
dents about Raymer and the three
witnesses who saw the shooting tes-
titled.
The dead girls half sister and her
aunt brought out the facts as have
already been stated and proved that
McGahan and the child had been
shot from behind. They we're on
the main travelled road and Rising
was hid behind an old we'll curbing
on the road side. All CT the women,
including Rising's wife. testified
that five shots had been fired N
rapid succession by Rising, and
County Physician Shields accounted
for all of them on the bodies.
Three Of the bullets passed
through McGahan's head. one
through his body and one through
the head of the blind girl. Rising
was only twelve or fifteen feet from
McGahan when he fired and he 10 ar
expert shot McGahan was unarm-
ed. never carried firearms and was
peaceful and law abiding.
In sworn statement the wife OF
Rising said that she never talked tc
McGahan bat once and that wat
about month ago when the Rising
cattle got into McGahan's pasture
She says McGahan drove them back
home and she admits that she called
Jerry few names. Jerry smiled
and went back home without saying
word.
According to the woman ner hus
band saw some man who looked like

JERRY MGAHAN
IN SOCIETY
LED A LIFE OF MUCH ROMANCE
Used to Cut n Wide Swath When He
CaShed Ip-Always Kindly

The murder OF Jerome McGahan,
better known as wild Horse jerry"
last Saturday evening, near his
ranch in northern Weld county calls
fer a more than passing notice of
a most remarkable character. The
fact that he had almost single-hand-
ed captured three thousand wild
horses, mostly in Weld county, and
tanning them sold them in Nebraska
markets, stamps him, probably. as
the greatest capturer of wild horses
that the United States has ever pro-
duced. Other men may have caught
wild broncho now and then, but
it was left to wild Horse jerry
to make distinct business of their
capture, breaking and sale.
Jerry himself claimed that at one
time New York newspaper man
came to his place and spent three
days trying to get the story of his
life for a magazine article and the
two would share the money secured
from its sale, but fir ally the writer
| had to leave Cheyenne without the
story, Jerry saying he was not in
| that kind of business. But the writ
er of this present article, having per-
| formed twcnty-six years ago, slight
service for the usually reticen'
ranchman, the two sat down to,
| gether and the frontiersman gave
a most interesting account of hi;
| life in the wilds. And again las
December Jerry gave still further
accounts of his interesting expert
ences, not only as a captor of wilt
animals but as a society man will
manv thousand dollars at his com
mand.
While it is not pretended tina
Jerry was mar wholly dsstituf
of faults, there is reason to believ
that the story he has told a favore

though some of it is almost pas

) There were times when a certai
dealer in horses entered some of ii
cities of Nebraska apd sold his dris
, mostly at 500 to s125 each. Thel
were times when he had from s.. 90
to $4,000 in his pocket. He dresse
