LOOK AT LANDS
FOR A COLONY
Want Several Sections in Weld
County for Large Number of
Families Who are Planning
to Come Here

Messrs. Sims. Thomas and Net
finger. from the vicinity of Ardmore,
Okla, spent yesterday in Greeley and
vicinity looking over the land with
the view of reporting to large col
ony of Oklahoma people who are
considering settling in Weld county.
The men were shown over the
Pleasant valley in the vicinity OF NO.
. ditch and expressed themselves as
favorably impressed with all they
saw. They represent some 90 taml-
lies who are contemplating coming
to this section to make their homes
They will return to Oklahoma today
and it is expected that their report
will be such as to bring the colony
here in the spring to make their fu-
ture homes.
The men are the second committee
from the same section who have been
here during the winter to investigate
Weld county as place of residence.
It is understood the colony contem-
plates the joint purchase of several
sections of land in the irrigation dis
trict. All are people of some means
who will own their own homes and
do their own farming. which class OF
citizens the county is anxious to Sc
cure.

case. one may we'll ask why strain
at a gnat and swallow a camel. for
as approximately a dozen employees
are connected with this Office there
are many hundreds representing
other employments. There are en-

clerks, switchmen. section hands and
crossing flagmen working Sundays
for the railroads. There are many
auto drivers, cab men. express men
and street car men. Hundreds are
in hotels and restaurants. lunch
counters and drug stores. The beet
factory in season works an army on
Sunday. Why not let the gnat es-
cape? II the postal work is wrong
SO also is the others and also more
wrong for the number affected is
greater.

Electric Line Foreman Begins Work
Early This Morning But Is Stop
ped by Jealous Contractors
Who Hoped for Job

The first work of tearing down the
present buildings at the corner of
Eighth street and Eighth avenue on
the new post office site was made
early this morning by Thomas Wig
gam, who is one of the foremen en-
gagged in putting in the new high
power electric line from Lafayette to
expected and the few passers by
were astonished to see the com
mencement of operations and in such
a manner.
Investigation showed that Mr..
Wiggam has not been engaged by
the post office department to clear
the site, but was acting entirely on
his own hook Those who were wit
nesses testified that work began i'm
mediately after breakfast when a
man named Jones. who, is 1t under
stood had been working for Wiggam
but had been discharged. announced
to the foreman that big fight was
coming off in which Wiggam would
find himself beaten to a pulp by the
aforesaid Jones.
This remark is said to have peeved
Mr.. Wiggam exceedingly-in fact. SO
much that he started to clearing off
the new post office site with Jones as
his tool. He landed true hope OF
the white race upper cut on Jones
and as the latter started to back to-
ward the tailor shop of Carl Braf-
ford. he followed 1t with an interior
pedal swipe that sent Mr.. Jones
crashing through the window, amidst
a shower OF glass.
About this time several men who
hoping to bid on the job OF clearing
the corner for the government be-
came jealous and stopped further
proceedings.
