BOY SCOUTS
ONE OF FIRST CITIES IN STATE
TO ORGANIZE
ARE l6 CHARTER MEMBERS
Two Patrols in Company Differed
BY Crist Newswanaer and Dut-
raj Barclay-Al Sorts Of
Fun in Prospect

Greeley is one of the first cities
in the state to establish company
of Boy Scouts Under Scout Master
w. c. Crist, 16 youngsters of the
Christian church Bible class, rang
ing in age from 10 to 6 years, have
| formed the initial organization here
and are actively at work trying to
prepare themselves for taking the
second class degree by next sum-
mer. when they expect to have all
sorts of fun in the open.
There are two patrols in the COM
pany, and one is in charge of Crist
Newswanger and the other officered
by Dutral Barklay. Last night the
scouts had their first man hunt, and
succeeded in capturing messenger
sent out at 9:15 to certain spot
with instructions to be back within
the hour He eluded his captors un-
til on the home stretch, when he was
captured and brought into camp,
with only half victory to his credit.
Affiliation with the national or
ganization of American Boy Scouts
, will be had at an early date, as the
application is now pending. The
: company is in the tenderfoot class
| and must be put through its PAGES
: before becoming real scouts. The
: next step after becoming scouts Is to
h get into the first class. This can be
t accomplished only by learning all OF
the things a real scout ought to
e know, such as reading signals read
: ily. knowing how to break and
ic strike camp readily, making fires
o. and preparing grub, aiding the in,
jured, etc.

A The boy scout movement is now
u in this country, having crossed the

pOTLTRY SHOW ATTRACTS Big CROWD

A pleasing part of the exhibition
is that at least two thirds Of the ex-
hibits are from the farms in Weld
county. Not only that, but the birds
are equal in quality to the best pro-
ducts of the extensive poultry farms
of the east.
Judge Rhodes has reached the
city and the judging is now on in
full blast. There are many hand
some prizes offered in almost every
conceivable class, so that keen In
terest has development among the
exhibitors. Although yesterday was
the opening of the show and devoted
largely to arranging the exhibits.
there was larger attendance than
was expected and it is believed that
this exhibition will be the most sue
cessful the association has ever held.
A temporary shortage OF coops
was experienced yesterday but 1t Is
hoped to overcome this. The high
bred chicks came in so fast that the
committee on arrangements was
swamped for time and had to hus-
tie their best to bring order out OF
chaos. To anyone having the least
interest IN chickens or in pet stock
the show is Of exceptional interest
and we'll worth . visit.

Chickens of every description

and chip on his shoulder to the

Weld County Poultry show that Is
now on in full swing in the new
Camfleld Trust building.
The sbrill crow of the bantam In
tsrminsles with the hoarse roar or
the brahma heavyweight and the
cooling of the dainty pigeon Is echoed
by the gabble of the geese. There
is lots of fun in listening to the
different vocalizations that are heard
in the course Of half an hour.
Rhode Island Reds are In the lead

close second. A surprising number
o, high quality turkeys came in un-
expectedly and form an interesting

the we'll known varieties OF barn

guinea pigs and Belgian hares. These
latter appeal strongly to the children
who seem to take . keen interest In

MOTOR CAR
IN SERVICE
DENVER-LARAMIE STARTS FIRST
ON REGULAR RUN
OF MOST MODERN TYPE
New Steel Car Makes Schedule Eas-
lily and Is First of Series to BE
Put On After First of the
Coming Year

Motor car service between Greeley
and Denver was formally inaugu
rated yesterday by the Denver, Lara
ME G. Northwestern road. In place
of the regular train No. / leaving
Denver at $50 in the morning and
Greeley at in the afternoon the
new motor car that was tested Sun
day has been put on. the same sched-
ule being in effect. 1t is stated that
after the first of the year the road
will have three of these ears here,
and a new schedule will be put into
effect, giving Greeley three cars a
day each way between this city and
Denver.
The new cars are steel and of the
most modern type. The inside lin
ing of the car is absolutely independ-
ent and separated from the outside
of the car, which is made entirely of
steel and the space between the two
is filled in with lith, a new substance
made of a combination of spun glass
and fiber, pressed together in a sort
of board l u inches thick.
Most steel cars are excessively
cold in the winter and inordinatelI
warm in the summer: after a Ions
extensive and exhaustive practica
experiments this car has been rend
cred absolutely impervious to TEN
perature. In fact it acts very mucl
like a refrigerator car, heat canno
go in in the summer time nor col
come in in the winter time, and tn
: trouble incident to keeping steel car
comfortable to the travelling publ
n in the winter time has been abs
u lutely overcome in this car.
These cars with their pointe
a front end and rounded rear end ar
;. roof are specially designed with ste
frame reinforced by steel sheets a
. carefully riveted together, the side
o of the car forming a combinatlo
;, plate and truss girder. and the who

D0WNEY HEARING
WAS ONLY A FARCE.

With about 80 policemen at his
command, Chief Sullivan could not
dig up single witness that saw
Lee Downey shoot Joe Curry while
the officer was on his feet. Accord
ing to all of the testimony intro
duced, Curry was shot by Downey
while the latter was down on his
hands and knees, after he had
fallen in the chase after the boy.
AS the matter stands now
Downey has practically beaten the,
case. Whether this was by agree.
ment or neglect on the part of the
police chief it can not be said, but
Downey has practically cleared
himself Of the charge. g.
The hearing was much in the ma
ture Of farce, when the evidence
is considered. The city was in the
role of a prosecutor, with DOwney
as the defendant. Every witness for
the city was a witness for Downey,
and such points as the city's wit
nesses overlooked the witnesses for
Downey called to mind. 80.

Downey. Officer Briley. city claim
agent, said that in his opinion
Downey was justified in pulling his
gun and that an officer is always
in danger in making an arrest.
Chief Sullivan testified that
Downey had been a good officer
during Sullivan's time as chief.
The charge against Downey was
the violation of rule 81, which pro-
hibits an officer from needlessly
drawing his gun in making an ar
rest. Downey was defended by At.
torneys Fred Miller and Brennan,
and the city was represented by
r. L. McWilliams, assistant corpora
ton counsel. The hearing contin-
ued all of yesterday afternoon and
vas resumed this morning, when
the board Of police commissioners
and the attorneys went to Sacred

returned to the city hall and heard

sci. The police commissioners took
the matter under advisement until
a later date.
