BURLY BLACK IS
BADLY BOUNCED
BY BRAVE WOME n
Eager Edwards Entrance, Un-
announced, Leads to His
Equally Eager Exit.

A burly negro who entered unan-
nounced the home of Mrs. Carrie Della
bar, 2s0 Orange street, today, unwit-
tingly ran into a number of varieties
OF serious trouble, and is now locked
in a cell In the Fifth precinct police
station, awaiting arraignment tomor-
row. The man, who gave his name as
I'd Kinsley and said he was 81 years
old and lived at Mulligan place, Or
ange. was recognized by Captain Mich
ael Long as an old offender. 30 1t is
altogether likely his troubles are not
at an end.
Mrs. Delabar, who conducts piano
store In the FIRST floor of her house, en-
tered the dwelling part this morning
from the store In time to confront
Kinsley coming from bedroom. Kins-
lev is a formidable looking black giant,
weighing 200 pounds, but Mrs. Delabar,
despite her SO years, closed with him
at once.
"Ah Didn't ste.I Nothin'"
"Ah didn't steal nothin', Miss" the
only with screams, hanging on for dear
life. In his frantic efforts to escape the
burly negro dragged Mrs. Delabar to
tho porch In the back yard. 1t was at
this juncture that Mrs. Agnes Burg
holz, Mrs Delabars daughter, who had
been attracted to the spot by her
mothers screams, appeared upon the
scene and completed Mistah Kinsley's
undoing.
Mrs Burgholz is rather large and
powerful herself and she didn't hesitate
q minute to relieve her mother of the
unlimited guest. She was some in
dignant also and she slammed the dark
Kinsley person up against the back
yard fence so hard that she jolted
whatever appeal he was about to make
to her out of his system, in fragments.
Meantime Mrs. Delabar was endeav-
oring to attract the attention of the
world to the battle In the back yard,
In series of quite audible screams.
Mrs Cloverdance, who keeps a con-
fectionery store next door, heard her
and telephoned the Fifth Precinct po-
lice station When the patrol wagon
reached the house the combatants had
worked their way around to the front,
and Mrs. Burgholz had just slammed
Kinsley up against the front gate
moment before he was taken into Gus
tody.
The police say he is a well-known
sneak thief and has served time for
larceny.

BRAND CABINET
RESIGNS AFTER
BRUN FUNERAL
President Fallieres Accepts Res
ignatiOn of Premier and
His Ministry.

PARIS, Feb. 27.-Premier Aristide
BRAND. who succeeded Clemenceau as
head Of the French cabinet on July %.
1909, today rendered the resignation of
his ministry to President Fallieres. ON
November last BRAND formally re-
tired, but few hours later ne was re-
stored to power and formed new cabt-
net, from which all elements not thor
oughly in sympathy with his attitude
toward labor had been eliminated.
The situation at present is wholly
different, and the premier had declared
himself weary of the chickering's of Par
lament and the intrigues of groups
nominally supporting him. He conse-
quently expressed the wish that he
might be relieved of the responsibilities
of government.
For a year and a half BRAND had
successfully combated the Socialistic
parties with which he was originally
affiliated, but on last Friday night.
when he was attacked on the ground
that he had not enforced the laws
against the congregations as set forth
in the separation act. the government
escaped censure by the slim majority
of 16 votes.

Who GETS
CASH FOR

Many Claimants For the
$500 Offered For Ar
rest of Fl. Collins Of
ficer's Slayer.

Who gets the reward for the cap
ture of Lauro Garcia, alleged to be
the murdered of Night Marshal c.
e. Brockman of Fort Collins?
This is what lot of men, almost
a small army, want to know. Fol-
lowing the killing of the officer a
reward of $500 was offered for the
capture of the slayer. While it is
not yet demonstrated in the court
that Garcia is the murdered, those
who had anything to do with his
capture do not mind trifie like
that and are keen to get in on the
$500.
There are no less than dozen
claimants, each of whom is ready
to prove that he alone is responsible
and should have the coin. The man

SNOW IN
COUNTY
Fall is Light to Date
but Mountains are
Well Packed for This
Season

Light flurries of snow on Tuesday
were followed by genuine snow
storm Tuesday night and today,
which has brought the snow fall to
three or four inches. There was no
wind with the snow, which falls
quietly and melts gradually. Weld

snowfall which was general over
the state.
The people of the dry farming
districts northeast are rejoicing over
the moisture, which will put the
ground in good shape for the spring
work. In the irrigated sections the
snow is beneficial for the winte'
wheat and is of untold value.
The estimates received this morn
ing by District Manager H. II. Crol!
of the Telephone company as to the
snowfall In the mountain districts
ars to the effect that there is now 20
inches of snow at Chambers lake,
|
Pass, three feet at Lulu Pass and
south of the divide on the Grand
river there is two and half feet.
While there has been but little snow
| in Estes Park this winter 1t is said
that there is now twice as much as
usual in the mountains at this time
of year.
Snow began falling in the Ault
district during the night and has
continued all day. At Gill the best
snow of the season has fallen dur
ing the night and today.
In the southwest part or the
county the light flurries of Tuesday
were followed by a good snow last
night and this morning. Fort Lup-
ton, Platteville and LaSalle are all
welcoming the best snow of the
season today.

Have YOU made the rounds of the

If you haven't you have missed a
real treat If you have nickel to
spend or want to squander the entire
profits on the La Sale bridge you
can have a lot of fun for your
money, because you don't have to
buy all you see and couldn't do 1T
you wanted to.
Good Old Santa Claus can be
found almost everywhere. Little
Willie and Susie are bewildered
while going shopping with mama.
Just as they think they have seen
all of the wonders of the world with
Santa in command they burst into
another vision of toyland heaven.
There is no indication in the
stores that Weld county didn't have
the biggest spud crop in its history.
The stores are not only filled to the
ceilings with every variety Of stock.
but this year SPECIAL preparations
have been made by the merchants
to make the showings attractive.
The salesrooms are decorated In
every conceivable way, each deco
rator apparently trying to outdo his
neighbor The result Is that the
public is being treated to holiday
exhibition that is the best ever
shown here.
All Of the stores will be open
every night until Christmas. 1t Is
cod that all of those who can
