PAL OF C0DY'S

Col. c. Dyer, one of the early
residents of Greeley is guest at
the home of his old civil war COM
rade Samuel B. Wright OF this city
for a week Col. Dyer has not been
in this section of the country for
over 40 years when he and Buffalo
Bill Cody hunted buffalo over the
land which is now some Of the finest
farms in Weld county. The real
object of his visit here in addition
to renewing old acquaintances and
visiting old scenes, is to see how
Colorado mines are operated near
Boulder.
He and Mr.. Cody are operating
some paying mines in Arizona and
he wants to learn few new meth
DDS to put into use while opening
fresh properties there.

SAM HOFFMAN
D0DCES DEATH
ANOTHER Time
Recovering From Operation at the
Hospital After Several Mar
row Escapes

Sam Hoffman, a we'll known civil
engineer in Greeley, was removed
to his apartments from the Greeley
hospital yesterday and his condition
was reported as steadily improving.
About a month ago he was taken
seriously i'll and an operation was
deemed necessary to save his life.
1t is from this operation that he is
Just recovering.
The cause of Mr.. Hoffman's poor
health dates back over year ago
when he was doing some surveying
in the neighborhood of Boyd lake
a stick of dynamite. left under a
rock by some former workmen
there, exploded, blowing him into
the air and riddling his clothes.
His escape from death was con-
sidered wonderful. AS he appar-
emily was not hurt he went on with
his work but of late it developed
that he was injured internally.
1t seems that he has had several
narrow escapes from death. A
short time ago during a heavy wind
storm here he was crossing the
street when an old tree blew down
about three feet in front OF him.
Now he laughingly declares his
death will occur by water sure, for
that is the only thing left for him
to try.

GOVERNMENT
SAYS CROPS
AWAY SHORT
Potato Advance Has Been Sensa-
ttonal and Yield Will BE I'M
usually Short

Washington, July 11.-"Hot, dry
weather. drought has played some
thing akin to havoc with the crop
condition during last month";" was
the statement made today by Prof.
N. C. Murray, acting chief OF the
crop reporting board OF the depart
ment of agriculture after the an
nouncement of the July report on
grain and produce.
1.-THE report said Prof. Murray,
reflects the rather serious effects
OF the drouth in June, most of the
important crops showing condi-
tion which yields below last year
and below recent average yields"
"Feedstuff, oats and hay, seems
to have been hardest hit. Less than
two-thirds of normal crop of hay
Is expected and the oats crop prob
ably will be more than 25 per cent
less than last years crop, and about
l2 per cent. less than the average
for the last five years"
THE potato crop promises to be
unusually short. The acreage has
fallen off. probably on account Of
prices last year. and
the condition of the crop now is
lower than any July In the last %
years. Almost a sensational ad-
vance in the price OF potatoes had
been made during the last month.
The average price July l was 96.3
cents q bushel.

CARPENTER LAW
TO BE REFERRED

The Direct Legislation league has
announced that 1t is circulating Pc
titions to force referendum vote
on two bills that were passed by
the legislature. The measures are
the bill appropriating $4,000 to
defend water suits against Colorado
or individuals in this state that
have been or may be commenced by
adjacent states or residents of those
states; and the measure known az
the Carpenter irrigation bill.
The league declared that the Car
penter reservoir bill 'ueopardized
the rights Of every ditch owner" in
Colorado. The bill gives reservoir
companies the right to store water
all the year round, when such stor-
age will not interfere with the
rights of senior ditch companies.
The Junior ditch companies. the
league says, are open to injury.
The referendum petitions must
be filed with the secretary OF state
within 30 days. II at all. Between
$4,000 and $1,000 signatures will
have to be obtained.

FIRST TALK
AT COLLEGE
BY DR.. HALL
Eminent Educator Addresses Large
Audience at Initial Appear
ance Here

The largest audience which has
yet ass embled to hear the speakers
on the Colorado Teachers college
lecture course greeted DR. G. Stan
ley Hall. one of the greatest German
American scholar, Monday morn
ing, when he divided his initial
lecture in the college chapel. 1t ls
estimated that nearly 500 persons
heard the lecture, as the halls and
adjoining rooms were filled as well
as the chapel and the aged psychol-
ogist was greeted with tremendous
applause when introduced by DR..
Snyder.
DR.. Hall has taken as the key
note OF his course of lectures "Effic-
iency'', and will dwell on all phases
of this subject in the course. This
morning he talked on the subject
generally. bringing in specific ex-
amples of the real worth of effic-
iency in the world of today, and how
the man or woman who is not effic-
lent is crowded out.
He divided his subject into four
great wholes, namely enterprise.
strenuosity, complementaries and
standardizing OF all that we at
tempt to do. Today is the day of
standardizing things.
| DR.. Hall scored the persons who
were mere weeds in this garden of
| life, and said this was the place for
helpful and useful persons, not for
the public burdens and that each
person should see that he was ef-
ticient along some line of work, in
order to survive. Man should not
be content to step into some ready
made place, but should have as
one of his chief ideals in life to
make a place for himself. We
should begin early in life to make
this place in order to get the best
enjoyment out of the things that
life offers.
He spoke of the human of the
present day being only the promise
of the man to come, because we are
freighted with the potentials of all
the races gone before as well as the
inheritances and man must through
education unlock the higher powers
within him and grow.
| Evolution is the greatest gospel
of hope since Christianity was in
troduced to the world" was his
closing statement.
Dr. G. Stanley Hall is perhaps
the most popular speaker that ever
! lectured in this city. not only be-
cause of his age and his great learn
| ing, but because he talks in very
straightforward manner of things
that other lecturers refuse to dis
cuss before mixed audience. His
lectures the rest of this week will no
doubt bring to the front some Of
the greatest steps in modern educa-
tion as DR.. Hall thinks it should be
taught.
The Temple quartet, which is
| furnishing the music for the chau-
tauqua, rendered two selections
which were up to the usual high
standard of their music and greatly
enjoyed by the large audience.

GIRLS WARM
over PLAN TO
co BAL0ONINC
Believe BuncO. Game Has. Been
Played by MISREPRESENTATION
rified at the Idea.

Indignation has swept over the
placii brows of the fair ones Of
Greeley as the result of announce
nas.n in a little known publication
in the city yesterday that Dare Devil
Greene, the aeronaut, would take
Greeley girls up in the balloon with
him during the state fair time.
At first some of the maids We're
pleased and expressed eagerness to
make the initial flight, but later
they discovered that they We're in
tended to be the victims OF bunco
zane that should be exposed at
once.
Dare Devil Green is all right. He
did not know of this proposition at
all. The fair management is also
safe from criticism, as when inter
viewed this morning the secretary
did not know anything of the pro-
posed plan. 1t has simmered down
to the proposition of the paper pro-
posing this novel feature.
Why are the girls indignant?
Because anyone going up with
Dare Devil Green will have to hang
rom their hands, as there is only
a trapexe on his big balloon. Now
what Greeley girl wants to go up
With balloon hanging by her
hands?

Into Cripple Creek-One of the
Party Jumps

X. ID. Thompson of the firm of
thompson 4 Claypool has returned
from a trip to Cripple Creek and
Victor, where he had narrow es-
cape from death. He made the trip
from Denver with a party by auto
and everything went all right until
they began the descent of the long
hill leading down to Cripple Creek.
Just as they began to run down
wards the brake refused to work
and the car sped down the noun
tain side over the toughest roads.
round sharp curves, gaining momen-
tum until Mr., Thompson declares
they were going over 60 miles an
hour.
Every one in the party thought
the next moment would be the last
and one man became so frightened
he stepped out on the running board
and jumped. He cleared the ma
chine all right, but when he lit on
the rough road his body bounded
and rolled over and the last view
the occupants of the car had of him
till later was when he arose from
the ground his face bleeding. his
hand badly cut and his shirt ripped
into shreds.
At last the driver, who was ac-
quainted with the roads, saw an
ether road branching off the one
they were on and run the car onto
it. AS that road was an up grade
the car stopped after running $50
yards and a badly scared crowd of
men decided to walk the rest of the
way to the Greek.

ing, the car left the end of the
bridge and, running onto high
bank, toppled back into the ditch
Although the car was of the fore
door type, Fehnel jumped in time to
fall clear of the machine, but both
women were pinned beneath the
car at the bottom of the ditch,
which contained three feet OF
water.
Unable to more the car alone,
Fehnel ran to a nearby farm house
and called assistance, but it was
some time before the men were able
to lift the big machine to remove
the bodies.
Physicians were on the spot in a
few minutes. but both of the victims
were dead before the bodies We're
removed from the water.
r. NJ. Boraem was located by
telephone in Cheyenne and came
here at once, arriving shortly before
midnight.
Two OF Mrs. Manning's children
are at the Booraem home.
Mrs. Booraem was well known TO
many Greeley people, having visited
here with her husband on several
occasions when she was entertained
at the home Of leading residents,
Her death will come as q great
shock to many here.
Mr.. Booraem was prominent
official In the tennis tournament
that was to have been held in Fort
