Court Shows Leniency In Some OF
the Cases-Each Prisoner Al
Years of Aee-An Pleaded
Guilty

Three youths, each II years Of
age. were sentenced in the district
court on Tuesday for crimes COM
mitted recently and that we're un-
sarthed by the wholesale arrests Of
young men early this month.
Harry Jacobson. who pleaded
guilty to four burglaries. was sent
to the reformatory at Buena Vista.
Rudolph Wickstrom pleaded guilty
to holding up Thomas A. Nixon last
January and was sentenced to from
three to five years. in the state peni-
Tertiary.
Simon Snyder who was on parole
from the reform school. pleaded
guilty to stealing a saddle and was
sentenced to the reformatory. He
had no connection with the gang
that was caught in Greeley.
ldge Graham was disposed to be
lenient with the young men. Jacob
son he scored for his repeated
crimes and declared that the youth
had brought disgrace on his nation
ality. His parents are worthy Swed-
ish people Of Greeley. The testi-
mony showed that he willingly con-
fessed his robberies after he had
been caught and that but little o..
the plunder he stole had been sold
The court said in passing sentence
that he had never had such a case
come before him.
Interest centered in the Wick
strom boy who at his hearing in
the Justice court said that an older
man had been associated with him.
Mr.. Nixon was put on the stand and
told the story Of the holdup of Janu-
airy 19 last when two men robbed
him of his watch and pocketbook
containing $3.50.
Wickstrom is the only one OF the
gang so far to receive a penitentiary
sentence. The others that have gone
through the courts have been sent to
the reformatory At BuenA Vista.
Snyder told the court that he had
stolen the valuable saddle in order
to get money to return to the home
Of his aged parents in Pennsylvania.
Calvin Smith, from whom the saddle
was stolen and who had employed
Snyder. said that the boy was a
good worker and had attended
strictly to business. Regarding the
parole papers in his pocket when
caught Snyder said that he had
pleaded gully to a crime he did not

ON PUBLICITY

The following remarks were
made to the real estate convention
delegates in Denver yesterday:
THE trouble with real estate
men Is that they seem to be afraid
of publicity, which if they only
knew 1t. is one of the greatest pow
ers in the land. Don't be afraid
of the newspapers; give them the
right dope.
What newspapers want is news,
and, because matter is news, 1t Of
ten gets publicity that could not be
bought with money. You should
take newspaper men into your con-
fidence. They will do you more
good than will any other agency you
can think OF, and they will gladly
do you good II you reciprocate by
giving them live news of your do
ings. OF your big enterprises, Of
your undertakings in general.
THE newspapers are your best
friends. Don't forget that, for even
the most needless will admit that
no business depends more on proper
publicity than does the real estate
business. You should know the
newspaper representatives Of your
city or town. Pick out one or two
men and keep them on your stan.
as 1t were. Let them into your busi-
ness methods. Don't be afraid to
acquaint them with your plans and
help them to keep tab on the bfa
matters that are coming up. 40 that.
at the proper time they nav be
sprung as news.
In short. stand in with the press:
1t will pay you"

THAT COUNTY FAIR

Those who have been watching
the newspapers are beginning to be
convinced that there is going to be q
real fair in Greeley September 10 to
II. Nearly every day for weeks
there has been some announcement
of something worth while until the
a0Qsexate now makes an imposing
array.
The average attendant at the
county fair wants to have q little
fun in addition to looking over the
exhibits to see if his neighbOrs
have beaten him on crops or live
stock. In other words he wants all
the 'trimmins" to his big dinner.
The fair management has had
this idea in view in arranging for
the fair this year. The Office Of the
secretary is q busy place from early
morning until late at night. The
demand for the handsome premium
lists is unprecedented. 1t indicates
that the people all over the country
are keenly interested and are going
20 be on hand with the best they
have got In the exhibit line. Pro-
vision is being made for moro floor
space in the buildings, for better &C
commodations for the live stock and
to handle everything on q larger
scale all around.
The special prizes offered are at
tractive and have stimulated wide
interest. The solid silver loving
cup offered by the Greeley CONNER
Cial club to the county commercial
club making the best exhibit has
brought these outside clubs to their
toss. They arc campaigning hard
right now for that cup. According
to tho latest count there arc no lcss
than three towns that feel the prize
is already theirs.
This interest is wholesome. 1t
extends from the boys and girls
with their gardens to grandma With
her fancy work. There is field for
all and IL is going to be . clean
pretty race for supremacy. There
will be no favorites and no handi-
caps. The race Is for the people Of
Weld county and is in charge of the
people Of Weld county. The fair
this fall Is going to be the greatest
ever seen In northern Colorado.
