WILL GIVE SALOON
FIGHT To THE ETNISE


Said a prominent Greeley attorney
this morning:
1--WE do not care to have our
names mentioned as yet, but there is
small doubt but that we will give
our services free to the anti-saloon
element OF Evans and fight the sa-
loon interests to a finish.
st ia matter Of prime import
ance to Greeley and we are going
to help out rs much as we can"
In view of this fact and that the
"drys" are determined in their at
titude there is every reason to be-
lieve that the saloon interests will
have most difficult game to play
before they will be successful in
placing saloons in Evans. which they
are trying to do In spite OF the wish
es of majority of the people OF
Evans.

DYING to Order.

Dying to order is one Of the most
sacred customs of the American In
dian. Many years ago Standing Elk
went to Major James Mclaughlin, the
author Of my Friend the Indian" and
said, "Father, my wife will die today.
and she wants coffin from you"
The major asked him what the all
ment was. and he replied:
"Just nothing but that she heard the
ghosts calling and must CO."
Somebody had told her. it turned
out, that she was sick. so she had
''painted for DEATH" and all her rela-
tives had gathered about to bemoan
her-and incidentally divide her prop
erty as 5000 as she was dead. There
was no use in the majors arguing
about it. so he had the coffin made.
In many cases those painted for
death" are actually bullied into dying.
but Mrs. Standing Elk was still too
vigorous. Finally in despair she car
ried the coffin into the house on her
Own shoulders, and several years later
the major saw it still standing on end
in her house, Shelves had been fitted
into it, and it was doing duty as cup
board.-Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
