New York, May l4.--The day Of the
pugilistic roorback has arrived once
more. It's an easy thing to start a
private line of inside information about
any man in whom the public is inter
ested.
Now, for instance, let us suppose that

from Rowardennan that .Jef's left arm
is stiff. Smith tells Brown that jeff s

the big fight because JEFF is in such
horrible condition that it would be muir

of people who ought 20 snow better

gathers something in the telling. Three
good men, handy at embroidery alleg'

who figured in the joy ride which
eliminated in the wreck of A. J..
Aliens auto. was captured in Lara
mie city yesterday afternoon by Dep
uty Sheriff Peterson who notified the

Started Lake In 1870

Fair visitors may have noticed q
depression or low place in the park
at the Islank Grove racing track
just south and east OF the potato
oven. B. D. Sanborn was heard to
remark on Potato day that on July
4. 1870, he, with other colonists,
with teams. plows and scrapers.
made start at that point in the
digging of what was intended to be
lake in the new park.
The work of improvement was al
lowed to languish, and only in the
last year has 1t been taken up again.
1t is probable that in the course Of a
few years longer the old settlers
will see Island Grove park what 1t
was originally intended for. namely,
q natural pleasure ground brought
up to date for the entertainment Of
Greeley people.

MANY FAVOR SENDING OF
FAIR EXHIBIT RACK EA0l


Individual members OF the Com
mercial club who have expressed
themselves on the subject. favor the
taking Of the Weld county fair ex-
hibit to the shows at Pittsburg,
Omaha and Chicago as suggested by
George L. McDona@h, colonization
agent for the Union Pacific. who
stated yesterday that the q. p.
would haul the exhibits free Of
charge and that the only expense at
taching othe project would be the
salary Of the man who has charge Of
the exhibit and the price of the
space for 1t.
It is being urged that the county
will not obtain another chance for
as good advertisement as this one
presents and the fact that the rail-
road will pay the expense OF traffic
will mean a saving Of hundreds of
dolalrs to the county.

fair grounds yesterday afternoon,
Gladys Helen Stone and August
Strate. both OF LaSalle. came to
Greeley in an automobile. purchased
clothing for their wedding at a
store here. and then went on to
Evans where they were married by
the Methodist minister.
Mr. and Mrs. Stone arrived home
from the fair last evening and found
their daughter and son-in-law await
ing them.
That the old folks are not going
to do anything in the way of pun
ishment of the young people for
their hasty decision to wed. is evil
denced from the fact that the young
couple have gone to the Stone ranch
to make their home.
The decision was made. the we'd
ding outfit obtained and the cere-
mony performed all within the space
of two hours time yesterday after
noon.
Young Strate, together with Miss

COYOTES AND WOLVES
THICK IN COUNTY
Especial to the Tribune)


Grover. Sept. 3O.-Ranchers to
the south of Grover are losing hun
dreds of chickens. many sheep and
some cattle as q result of the depre-
dations of wolves and coyotes in
that section of the county.
The animals are running In un-
usually large numbers at this time
and are apparently coming from the
plains Of Nebraska and adding to
the numbers already in this county.
Huburt Smith. who owns . farm
near Keota, states that he has lost
eight sheep within the past two
weeks through inroads of wolves OF
the large gray variety while other
farmers In the neighborhood have
suffered somewhat heavy losses In
chickens and sheep.
The wolves appear to be unusually
ravenous for this season OF the year
and the farmers are preparing to
take precautions to see that their
stock and barn yards are protected
this coming winter as 1t is anticipat-
ed that there will be much greater
trouble in dealing with the animals
at that time than at present.
Several ranchers will make good
money from the county this year
from pelts which they nave obtain
ed.
The wolves are said not to be
particlarly numerous this year but
they are ravenous in the extreme
while the coyotes are more numer-
GUS than usual.
