flJOY RIDERS"
UNDER ARREST
Two Men and Two Girls in the
Party Who Run Down Old
Man.
Lrn1rrn rnrss 1nAsEp VIE ]

Tacoma. Wash, Jan. 27.-By the
arrest. at 1880 o'clock today, OF
CLAYTON Frago, the automobile driy-
or. who admits that he ran down
John Menar early Tuesday morning,
the police secured the fourth mem
her of the party of 10y riders who,
after kncking down the aged laborer
down. not only refused to carry him
to the hospital but, according to his
story. deliberately tried to crush his
life out by backing the heavy touring
car over his PROSTATE body a second
time.
Frage was charged with attempted
murder, and his bail fixed at $4,000.
The two girls in the party, Jessie
Moore and Helen Brooks, together
with Guy Martin, were arrested late
Yesterday afternoon, following a clue
obtained by chance. The girls at
first maintained that they knew
nothing of the affair, but soon weak
ened and told the whole story. Two
other men, whose names are not
known, were members of the party,
but one of them had left the automo-
biles before the accident occurred. !
The party had spent the night at a |
road house near American Lake, II |
miles south of the city, and Martin |
claims that he accompanied them as
a hired piano player to furnish music |
at the road house. At the place a |
came up, and one of the
men in the party, a prominent real
estate dealer, left in the automobile
which conveyed the party out. The
othe rmembers then telephoned the
city, and Frage went out to bring
them in.
On the way in the girls say they
went to sleep, and knew nothing until
he big touring car struck the man.
hen they heard his agonizing groans
and felt the wheels crush his chest as
hey passed over him.
Miss Moore says she pleaded with
Frage to carry the man to a hos
Jital, but Martin advised Frage to
beat it," and he did. Martin says he
iidn't know they ran over Menar
vice, but he says as they backed, in
,rder to turn around, the wheels
night have struck the man second

Northern Reservoirs to Be Enlarged.

Greeley-Contention with search
ty OF ditch water last season, far less
than in many years. has brought to
the attention of the irrigationists and
farmers of northern Colorado the i'm
perative need OF storing large quanti-
ties of water in reservoirs, to draw
uopn in dry seasons. The coming six
months, therefore, will be notable for
the building of additions to the res
ervoirs of the county. increasing their
capacities at least one-third.
Reservoir water saved the crops OF
northern Colorado last season, the wa
ter being stored last fall. This has
made, it plain that fall flood waters,
which are often considerable. from
early SHOWS and late rains. must be
conserved, and that IL these are savel
the reservoirs must be enlarged.
There probably will be about $780,
900 spent on improvements in Weld
county. One of the most important en-
largements is that on Jackson lake, a
reservoir near Orchard. This is to en-
large the capacity one-third. and to
supplement present flow an old ap-
preparation from Crow creek, Is cubic
feet, owned by Ralph Doherty of Den
yer is to be utilized.

Burrowing for their winter homes a
few weeks ago, prairie dogs on the
Vernon McKelvy farm, in Lone Tree,
Weld county. brought up small pieces
of coal. This led to an investigation
which uncovered an eight-foot vein Of
good coal. AS soon as crops are off
the McKelvy fields the owner will put
down a shaft and expects to open a
splendid deposit. He believes that 1t
will be feasible to open and operate
the coal mine and yet not materially
interfere with growing crops on the
land.
The discovery goes far to prove that
valuable coal fields underlie northern
Weld county and that the coal mining
and the development of the coal areas
may be made profitable. This is the
opinion of Fort Collins and Denver
capitalists, who are now making
thorough inspection of the supposed
coal fields.
