DEPUTY IS HURT
While ON DUTY

Harold Anderson, well known
young man of the city. late this af-
ternoon received a telegram from his
brother Sheriff Walter Anderson. to
the effect that he was injured while
in the pursuit of cattle thieves at
Cisco, Utah.
The sheriff is being brought in on
No. 6 for medical attention at St.
Matthews hospital, and it is report
ed that his condition is very low
1t is not known how he was in
iured, as the telegram failed to state
or to give any particulars; but it is
presumed that he was shot.
The country near Cisco has been
infested with rough and dangerous
characters since the trouble arose be-
tween the sheepmen and cattlemen,
and consequently the law has been
flagrantly disregarded in the disputed
sections in numerous ways of late.
Doubtless the injury of the sheriff
was more or less caused by the very
strained feeling and influx of out
laws into the vicinity.
He will be met at the depot by the
ambulance and taken at once to the
hospital, orders having been issued
for the best medical attention to be
had in Grand junction.

lmpTession upon me-
This home Is the most remarkable
school Of good manners. refinement
and culture generally i have ever
been in. The parents are bringing
np their children to practice their
best manners on al occasions They
do not know what company manners
mean.
The boys have been taught to treat
their sisters with as much Difference
las though they were stranger guests.
The politeness, courtesy ana eonsid-
GRAFTON which the members Of this
family show toward one another are
most refreshing and beautiful. Coarse
ness. grufness, lack Of delicacy find
no place there.
Both boys and girls have been
trained from infancy to make then-
selves interesting and to entertain
and try to make others happy.
The entire family make 1t rule
to dress before dinner in the evening.
Just as they would II special company
we're expected.
Their table manners are especially
marked, At table every one is sup
posed to be at his best, not TO bring
any crouch, or a long or sad face toit
but to contribute his best thought,
his wlttiest sayings, to the CONVEX
sation. Every member Of the fEpill?
is expected to do his best to niakc The

Is sort Of rivalry to see who car

The etiquette OF the table is also
strictly observed. Every member Of
the family tries to do just the proper
thing and always TO be mindful Of
others rights. Kindness seems to be
practised for the joy Of it, not for the
sake OF creating good impression
on friends or acquaintances. There
is in this home an air of peculiar re.
inement which is very charming. Tine
children are early taught to greet
callers and guests cordially, heartily,
in real southern, hospitable fashion
and to make them feel that they are
