FORT. MORGAN SUGAR
FACTORY NOT TO RUN
Especial to the Tribune

Fort Morgan, July 9.-W. L.
Lawson of the Great Western Sugar
company announced here today, af-
ter taking into consideration the
shortage of beets this year, that the
factory at this point will not be In
operation this fall. The beets from
this locality will be shipped to the
Brush factory for grinding.
The company gives as the reason
for selecting the Brush factory in
perference to the Fort Morgan plant
that in view of some changes in the
force mere last winter and the fact
that the Brush working force is in
excellent condition under the man
agement of Superintendent Madrill,
the campaign can he better handled
at the Brush factory with all the
beets in the district to take care OF.
A large force, OF course, VIII De
retained at the Fort Morgan rae
tory, as the beets will be loaded
here and payments made from inns
station. The only loss TO Fort
Morgan will he the extra force OF
men used in the grinding season.
Prominent beet growers, after
hearing Lawson's announcement
stated that beets here are in excel
lent shape. that the crop Will De
large, and that if rain comes within
the next ten days there will be more
beets than the Brush factory can
handle.
Several fields of barley cut this
week are running seventy-tive bush
els to the acre within one mile OF
Fort Morgan. and some fields OF
wheat in the dry land district viii
go thirty bushels to the acre.
While some crops have been dam
aged by the grasshoppers and long
drought. the general outlook here,
both for beets and other crops, Is
exceedingly good.

WELD COUNTY IS
FOURTH IN STATE
SCHOOL CENSUS
Total School Population Of State Is
221, ,9S3, Which Is Nearly a 10,-
900 Increase Over the Total
School Age Last Year

Weld county is the fourth in the
state in the number of school chill
dren which it boasts. Denver is
first with 55.235, Pueblo second
with l4,T9l, Ell Paso third with
l2,746 and Weld county fourth with
1881.
The school census of the sixty
counties of the state, just complet-
ed, shows an increase of 9,141 over
the figures of last year, the total
school population being 221, 1888.
Reckoning on percentage basis,
the increase is very gratifying, as it
shows an increase of AS per cent
during twelve months.
Should this percentage be main
tanned during a ten-year period, the
increase in the population of school
children would amount to 43 pei
cent and it is maintained by the sup
erintendent of schools, Mrs. Rather
inc NJ. Cook, that the tables show {
uniform rate of increase.

CLAIM TIPPED TAIL OF
DOG GROUND FOR SUIT

If one long tailed bull dog is
worth s5 at the age of year how
much is said bull dog worth with
clipped tail at the age Of three?
This is the weighty question which
will be threshed out in the court and
may go to a police court for "preli-
minary argument" in case the parties
interested continue to display bellig-
Grant tendencies in the matter.
George Homer purchased a bull
dog from Frank Wallace OF Greeley
tive years ago and paid IS for him.
The sale was made with the stipula-
tion that the dog was to be returned
and money refunded in the event that
the dog did not prove to be great
fighter as Wallace claimed him to be.
But nothing was said about clip
ming his tail. The dog did not turn
out to be marvel as fighter ana
Homer now desires to return the
animal. Wallace claims that the
dog is not as good an animal as he
was, that he has been neglected ana
among other alleged injuries, that
he suffered clipped tall.
The men will take the case TO
court.
