District Court.

The jury was summoned to
Conejos Monday for an adjourned
session of the district couIt. The
first . case called was that of p.
Z. Haley, the well known rail
road conductor. Almost two
years ago a roll of Is Navajo
blankets valued at 800 each
was taken from a car load en-
route from Durango to Colorado
Springs. A photograph of high
priced blankets is kept ON file
by the dealer at Durango and a
number of the blankets have been
recovered by railroad detectives
in different places and identified
by the photographs. 1t is said
that Haley had one of the blank
cts in his posses sion. AT any
rate he plead guilty and was
sentenced to II months in the
penitentiary. Three or four diff
ferent train crews are said to be
implicated and a number of men
are under arrest. The many
friends of Mr.. Haley find it diff
ficult to believe that he was not
more sinncd against than shining.

Joel Grantham Meets
With Peculiar Accident.

Joel Grantham, the Alamosa
wholesale liquor dealer, had bust
ness Tuesday in La Jara and late
in the afternoon in company with
Tom Smith of the Club saloon
drove out west of town to shoot a
few ducks. The men left the team
at l.. H. Angevine's and continu-
ed along the banks of the Aroya on
foot. Grantham winged a duck
which fell in marsh. he plunged
into the water after it and got his
feet thoroughly wet He took off
his shoes, poured out the water,
dried his feet as well as he could
and started for town. The men
came to deserted cabin and made
fire to get warm. They found
that Grantham's feet were frozen.
He was unable to walk and they
concluded to spend the night there.
A. w. Lee, John Schecter, Myron
Guymon and other friends in
town became alarmed and started
out to search for them about 8
O'Clock. 1t was after II when the
party found them. Mr.. Grantham
was carried to the train Wednes-
day night and taken to his home
in Alamosa by A, w. Lee. The
cuticle was nearly all frozen from
the bottom of Mr.. Grantham' s
feet and he will suffer considerable
pain and be laid up for several
weeks.

For a water-pipe burst by the
frost: Get at a drug store, or
from your doctor, plaster band
age two inches wide. Hold it in
a bowl of water till the bubbles
stop rising. Then at once wrap
it around and around the broken
pipe, smoothing with the hands
as you go. Thus you will make
splint similar in shape to the
wiped joint which the plumbers
make. 1t will last long and will
not leak.

To renew worn meadow with
out blowing it, give it a thorough
narrowing, so that the carpet of
sod is well torn to bits, then
top-dress heavily, sow grass seed,
and harrow and brush smooth.
This is especially true of land that
is shallow and stony and hard to
plow, land that is full of knolls
and hollows. The process levels
and improves such surfaces.

SPECIAL
DEMONSTRATION TRAIN

| arrangements nave been COM
pleted for an Agricultural Special
Train to cover the entire stand
ard gauge lines of the d. & R. G.
the Colorado & Southern and the
A. 7. & S. f. The train will
reach La Jara at u 20 p. IN. on
Tuesday, March IA, and remain
about two hours.
The plan of the train is as fol
lows:
Material of immediate educa-
tional value to the farmers of Col
orado and those interested in ag-
riculture will be taken from the
following departments of the State
Agricultural college: Agronomy,
including soils, crops and farm
machinery; Animal Husbandry,
including dairying and poultry
raising; Irrigation, Forge and
Carpentry Work; Horticulture,
Entomology and Home Economics.
-Four cars will be fitted with
these exhibits and there will be
furnished in connection with every
part of each exhibit plain and
simple literature or placards COW
ering the exhibit. Where building
is to be done a working drawing
and directions will be furnished.
Each exhibit will be placarded
so plainly that it will: tell its
own story, and there will be in
each car two or three demonstra-
tors to answer all questions.
The plan will be made more
clear by outlining one of the de-
partments and for purpose of il
lustration the poultry department
may be used. This exhibit being
as follows:
l. Models Of poultry buildings
and equipments. Accompanying
each model building will be def
mite directions for construction
and working drawings. Model
arrangement of buildings with
respect to one another and of the
building interiors will be shown.
There will be shown feed boxes,
watering devices, trap nests, etc,
and directions for their construc-
tion will be furnished.
2. Exhibit of Feeds. Samples

by booklet describing them and
recommending those best for Col
orado conditions.
3. Breeds. 1t will not be the
plan to go into the question of
poultry breeds as applied to the
poultry fancier, the idea being
merely to call attention to the
difference between the meat
and the egg breeds. Typical
specimens will be shown together
with photographs of others.
4. An exhibit of standard
poultry literature, furnished free
to the farmer by the college and
by the U. S. government.
3. Egg Exhibit. Showing meth
ods of packing, preserving and
the like.
6. General Exhibit. Charts
showing the Importance of the in
dustry, its status in Colorado
and other matters of general in
4 terest.
The first daJ of the special S
tour, two thousand people pass
ed through the cars at Greeley,
Windsor, Timnath and Yelling
ton, and it is estimated that for
ty thousand people will visit the
train during it's four-weeks trip
through the state.
1t is to be hoped that large
crowd will greet the special here
as the speakers are all first class
and will talk on subjects of in
terest to valley people, and the
demonstration of new farm ma
chinery is well worth anyone S
time.

BY JOHNNY HAYES.

Brains, good lungs, stout
neart, will power and grit-these
are necessary for anyone who
wants to zoe a distance runner.
The first thing to do Ia to- ac-
luire good habits. Don'tdsmoke ,,
don't drink-these dwarf your
lung power. Get as much sleep
as possible. 81 asd
Different runners have differ
emit running styles, but the way I
have found most successful in
long races is to use rubber heels,
landing on the ball of my foot
and letting the heel hit the ground
a fraction of second afterward.
Never set the pace-let the 9TH
er fellow do it. It's always easier
to come up from behind than it lis
to fight desperately to hold the
lead, knowing others are tearing
along behind you. r.m Oh
Never strain your muscles. Run
easy-let your body swing with
your stride and you won't find
any strain. And never, under any
circumstances, run on your toes.
1t makes sore feet and uses up the
power.
Those who want to learn to be
distance runners should ascertain
from an experienced trainer
whether they require much train
ing or not. And they should live
up to the rules laid down by a
trainer or coach.

Toes for the Athletic Girl

fT)HE aeroplane costume is exercising the
minds of designers and tentative efforts
ISsSzSSl to solve that problem have been made
- with some degree of success, but so Tar
the average summer girl is not IN dire
need of this additional costume.
The woman who rides and dresses well for 1t
requires rather expensive equipment to start
with but fortunately we'll made riding apparel wears
we'll and does not quickly become out of fashion, so
good habit may be made to give long service
unless one gives it than ordinarily hard
Ready made habits of all three varieties
shown in the shops and some of them are very
well cut and made, while all are naturally much
less expensive than a habit made to order by
good tailor. If a woman rides much and
afford to go to really expert tailor she will be
wise to order at least one habit. The absolute
severity OF such costume throws all the respon-
sibility for its success upon cut and fit, and no
ready made garment can do for ones figure what
a garment cleverly made to ones measure will do.
The coat and breeches suits in particular require
very skilfu work. and unless one can go to a first
class tailor for such habit it will be wiser to
choose divided skirt if one is bent upon cross
saddle riding.
The devotees of tennis are fortunate this season
in that many of the snartest little tub frocks suit
able for general morning wear are entirely COM
Portable and appropriate for tennis and one need
enjoy game OF tennis.
The skirt must not be too narrow to permit
as narrow as that in order to be good looking
and modish this season. The loose, short sleeves,
the low collars, the large waists are all practical
for the tennis player and the piece froeks pro-
vided armhole and sleeve allow free play to the
arm are very trim and pretty on the tennis courts
Then there are, Of course, skirts and separate

has been exploited so generally that it has become
rather too common, yet which has excellent char

At recent smart function in Newport where
women WED with each other in elaborate gowning
were worn wonderfully stunning toiletres about
which clustered the envied memories of the Cor

very beautiful gown was of purple and gold
brocade. Gold lace formed part of the corsage
and sleeves. The shimmering brocade was draped
up in the prevailing one-sided effect on the cor
sage edged by fold of purple chiffon. From tie
left side peeped tiny pink tulle modesty. From
the left side of the corsage was draped GOD
lace which was extended the shoulder and
down the back, where it caught in with the
train.
Another exquisite gown worn by younger wo-
man was gold tulle drsped over rose colored tulle
This was in the form of tunic quite short and
rounded, which. dropped over skirt OF blue and
gold brocade that also formed the straight back
panel on the skirt. Gold lace decorated the cor
sage plastron, sleeves and skirt tunic- The deeo-
letage was cut in deep "V," as are most OF
them, with small modesty of flesh colored tulle
SIDE DRAPERIEs AND TRAINS
The side drapery effect on both corsage and
skirt are immensely favored and lend certain
originality which would be difficult to otherwise
achieve. The soft drapery of satin or chiffon on
one shoulder and point metal lace on the other,
makes fetching contrast.
Draperies are close for the skirt and fire.

Trains are small but not to be ignored. These

Owing to the close-htting draperies the trains
