TOWN or AUIT is SEEING
\ VERY RAPID GROWTH
Especial to the Tribune)

Ault. Aug. S-Ault is expanding
so rapidly that it threatens to out
grow Greeley. Last week proceed
ings We're completed whereby the
Graefe addition of iifty-two lots was
added to the town. Steps are now
being taken to annex territory in the
southeast and northeast as part of
the corporated limits, making an adj
dition of $50 lots altogether. The
Graefe addition adds twenty-five or
twenty-eight families to the towns
population.
The expansion in area not only
means an increase in population but
large increase in revenue. The eX-
tending of the towns limits is due to
the efforts of Mayor Houghton. He
promised that he would work for ex-
pansion before he was elected and
that he has kept his pledge is evil
denced by the fact that since he has
been in office total of $50 lots will
have been added to the town when
the proceedings to take in the $50
lots are completed in about sixty
days.
The people living in the territory
that has been annexed have been re-
ceiving the benefits of the town s
laws for several years.

GREELEY CHAIN GANG ART
ISTS NO GOOD AS FARM HELP

OF the best workers on the chain
gang were willing to go out on the
job Their wages were to be 81 5
day on the stack and 81 in the
field.
Hardly had they arrived on the
property when they apparently con-
cluded that they did not want to
work.
In consequence as soon as the back
of the boss was turned they started
across the fields in the direction OF
Greeley and have not been heard
| from since that time.
Straight and Bickling have in
formed the police of the men leaving
the fields and 1t is likely that they
will be pressed in.o the city service
again in the event that they show uI
in Greeley.
Greeley's chain gang graduates dc
not make good farm hands.
| This is the conclusion which has
been reached by Straight and Bick-
| ling, who live five miles east of Gree
ley and who have had tiresome ex-
perience with several OF the best In
the way of tramp laborers that
Greeley's manual raining school for
hoboes could supply.
1t is the usual complaint with
tramps who are picked up by the po-
lice that they would work If work
was to be had" and in consequence
Of this the police sometimes are
able to locate jobs for the men.
When Straight and Bickling de-
cided that they needed help they
went to Marshal Williams and three

JOY RIDERS HIT RIG; LEAVE
HORSE AND MAN IN GUTTER

Arthur Lewis who lives up by the
reservoir is looking for the automo-
bile in which five JOY riders were
speeding about the city last We'd
nesday night and at which time
Lewis horse was struck by the auto
mobile and thrown into a culvert,
suffering a broken leg.
Lewis was driving to Greeley
about 10 o'clock on the night OF the
accident. He was coming down
Tenth avenue at trot and did not
see an automobile running up side
street until the black bulk of the
machine was upon him.
The car was going at good rate
of speed. He tried to turn out, but
the driver of the car had apparently
not seen him and the automobile
rushed on. striking the horse full
in the side and throwing the animal
to the ditch
The buggy was overturned and
Lewis was thrown to the ground.
He suffered severe cuts about the
arms and legs. The automobile did
not stop. A red light on the rear of
the car was the only light on the
machine. Lewis picked himself up
out of the gutter and made his way
home. The horse was taken to the
barn and it will have to be shot.
1t is believed that the car was
one from out of the city, probably
from Denver
Lewis said:
'All / got out OF it was the laugh.
When they passed by me a woman
and gave me the laugh. The horse
was not particularly valuable but
too costly to lose at the hands Of Joy
riders"

TESTED AND PROVEN
There Is y Heap OF SOlace in Being
Able to Depend Upon II Well
Earned KeDutatiOn

For months Greeley readers have
seen the constant expression of
praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and
read about the good work they have
done in this locality. Not another
remedy ever produced such convinc-
ing proof of merit.
Mrs. Henry Sheath, 429 Ninth
street. Greeley, Colo, says: MY
daughter began to have trouble
from her kidneys when she was four
years of age. She complained a
great deal of backache and at times
her hands and feet would swell
rs though she were afflicted with
dropsy. She had but little control
over the kidney secretions and was
in a bad way. One day l read about
Doan's Kidney Pills and they were
SO highly spoken of that l procured
box at the Gilbert Drug Co. They
gave my daughter prompt relief and
improved her condition greatly.
About a year ago another one of my
children was taken with a weakness
of the kidneys ana she finally be-
came SO bad of that / had to keep
her home from school. l again used
DOan's Kidney Pills and they
brought prompt relief"
Mrs. Sheath gave the above state
ment in September. 1906, and on
January 90. 1909. she added "My
children have had practically no
trouble since Doan's Kidney Pills
cured them. am glad to give this
remedy all the praise 1t deserves"

INQUIRY INTO
OIL PURCHASES
GOVERNM ENT WOULD DEAER-
MINE WHETHER CONSPIRACY
EXISTS IN BUYING LANDS.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE inyesti-
cation now under way in the mid-Cor-
tinent oil fields of Oklahoma is pri.
marily for the purpose Of determin
ing whether a conspiracy exists >
weep down the price of oil. If a con-
spiracy is uncovered prosecution VIII
follow through the department of JUS
tice
The Indian office has protested to
all pipe line operators that they are
paying the Indians too little for their
oil. At the same time the depart
mcnt officials are not in a position
to demand an increased price. This
is because they have jurisdiction
over only about 10 per cent of the
oil-produCing land. Most of the In
dians who own oil lands have had
their restrictions removed and are at
liberty to make whatever contracts
or leases they please.
"In a sense, this places the gov
ornment as guardian for restricted
Indians in the position of a minority
stockholder,' said a prominent )tri-
cial. However, if a conspiracy 10
keep down the price of oil exists and
can be established in court, a remedy
will be at hand.
Il understand that at least one
concern is making plans for future
operations on the basis OF csc per
barrel. other concerns now pay ONLY
i6c per barrel. An increase to Csc
will mean a great deal to both re-
stricted and unrestricted Indians and
to all owners of oil lands in Okls.
homa.
officials here are hopeful that OH
er purchasers of oil will see .Heir
way clear to make the increase
which one concern contemplates max
ing. This would at once do away
with the necessity for further lnves-
tigation and possible prosecution,
since it would dispose of the charge
that a conspiracy exists to hold down
the price"
