Nasty Bumps Being Taken Out Of

Patrons of the street cars soon
may imagine that they are taking

plane instead of riding the bumps
or taking the third degree. With
full appreciation that there will be
thousands of visitors in the city for
the county fair the street car COM
pany are having all of the bumps
taken out of the tracks. At every
place where the rails join a group
of men are raising the spot to sea
level and mailing the atmosphere in
place so that there will never again
be no bumps no more.
In addition to making the track
as smooth as q wet ellis hide the
company has put new suits of paint
on the cars. made them all fore
door SO that no guilty nickel can
escape and is now figuring for a
bunch of new rolling stock so that
II more than 20 people want to go
to the fair at once they can do so
without sitting on each others laps.
The exact amount of money be-
ing spent in improvements is not
announced. Before the fair the
system will be put into apple pie
order and it is promised that there
will be no scarcity of cars to handle

UNION PACIFIC DELINQUENT
FIRST OF AUGUST
OWES WELD COUNTY S66,OO0

Reports of the county expendi-
lures for the first six months OF the
year ending with June 80 are being
made out. Among the unpaid items
of taxes that will appear is the
$66,OO0 charges against the Union
Pacific railroad company. The offer
of so per cent of this amount ten
dered by the railroad COMPANY was
refused by the county and in the
event the whole amount assessed
against the company is not paid by
August l suit will be instituted.
The total revenue of the county
for the year is about $2S7, 900. OF
the $66,OO0 unpaid only about $685.
900 goes to the county direct, the
remainder being divided between
the city, school districts and other
apportionments.
If the matter is taken into the
courts, it may be that the company
will be ordered to pay the amount
demanded by the county. leaving
the adjudication to come later or
it may be that the county will be
ordered to accept the amount ten
dered by the company and to bring
suit for the remainder that is
claimed.
There is much interest attached
to the default of the Union Pacific
company in view of the assessments
for next year. The State Board of
Equalization has increased the as
sessment of the Union Pacific
something like $750,0O0 on account
of the improvements that have been
made during the past year in OPEN
ing up new lines, etc. At the rate
of assessment last year this in
crease will bring the amount of
taxes due the county next year to
something like 100000. If the
protest is continued and settle
ment is not reached at an early date
in the courts embarrassment is Ii
able to result to the county.

STARTING

TRYING no REFER REGIsTRA-

SEN, GuGeENHEIM IS ACCUSED
Republicans Henchmen Of Senator
Said to BE Paving Way to XIII
the Direct Primary Laws

A movement led. 1t is said. by
Senator Guggenheim. Is being
quietly set on foot in the state OF
Colorado, to refer the registration
law. The scheme is an attack on
the direct primary law, which
would become practically tnopera-
tive without the registration law,
insofar as the nomination for per-
sons for office is concerned.
Colorado has a primary law. But
its completeness depends on the
registration bill passed by the
eighteenth general assembly.
If sufficient signatures were Sc
cured to refer the registration bill,
that would suspend its operation as
a law until after the next general
election. If operation were sus-
pended in this way, the next gen.
eral election would be governed by
the old fraud-ridden convention
system. This was the system by
which the people elected delegates
who went to their respective con-
ventions and in turn elected offic-
ials of their own choosing.
Platform democrats and all pro-
gressive factions of the state are
making every effort to Offset the
movement to refer the registration
bill. Without this as a law. ballot
stuffing would have no check. They
look upon the scheme as a move on
the part of Guggenheim henchmen,
who are laying their plans thus
early for the United States sena-
torial fight, in which Shafroth and
Guggenheim will obth probably play

NEICHBORHOOD
ROW REVIVED
BY INJUNCTION
Enemy Will Divert Reservoir
Water Unlawfully

An injunction has been filed in
the district court by John Mclean
of Windsor to restrain William Met
calfe from diverting the water in
the reservoir Mclean declares he
owns. The legal step is the con-
tinuatfon of neighborhOod quarrel
Mclean and the Metcalfe family.
Mclean has barely recovered
from a gunshot wound in the face
which tore away his lower jaw, re-
ceived at the hands of a member OF
the Metcalfe family when trouble
arose over the building of a ditch.
Mclean. as soon as he was able.
swore out complaint for assault
with attempt to kill. only to find
that Metcalfe was ahead OF him
with the same kind of complaint
Metcalfe was acquitted of the
charge. Mclean fingered between
life and death, and, to the astonish-
ment of physicians, fully recovered.
Previous to this there had been
trouble between the families over
alleged trespass of stock on the Nc
Lean farm. Metcalfes home was
shot into one night, the bullet Just
escaping Mrs. Metcalfe's head. Nc
Lean was acquitted of connection
with the affair. Previous to this
there had been trouble over stock
owned by the two, and for a time
1T looked as though the neighbor-
hood southwest of Windsor would
be thrown into a feud because of
interest in the affairs of the two
farmers.
Mclean drove into Windsor about
20 years ago and located ON land.

Lawyers Alter Reyensh

Bitterness is being expressed by
every lawyer and doctor In Greeley
over the baseball game at Island
Grove Park Thursday. July 9Th
last. Matters have grown even
more acrimonious. Charges and
counter-charges are being hurled
back and forth between the two
factions.
Doctor w. f. Thompson and ],
w. Barbee. secretaries of the re-
spective baseball teams, met on the
street yesterday and came near to
blows. Barbee accuses the doctor
OF being responsible for certain
statements rejecting on the Law
yers team, and claiming victory
Tor the doctors, when Barbee claims
Dr. Thompson clearly understood
and agreed that the game of July
l2th was not to be the real cham
plonship game between the two
factions. owing to sickness and abb
sence OF members OF the Lawyers
team. which could not be foreseen.
barbee claims the agreement was to
go ahead and play an exhibition
game so as not to disappoint any
one. the championship game to be
postponed and pulled of later. He
claims the doctors are now claiming
II was the championship game and
that the doctors won.
me Lawyers claim they can beat
the doctors anywhere, any time, and
with ease. They now say they can
prove 1t any time. preferably Sat
urday afternoon. August S, but the
date will cause no trouble.
Friends and bystanders inter
vened and stopped the trouble be
tween DR.. Thompson and Mr.. Bar
bee. Various other Tits have oc-
Cured. but so far no blood has
been shed. However. owing to the
bitterness now engendered, Marshal
camp is keeping sharp lookout
and says he will surely take any
combatant into custody. no matter
what his name. standing or reputa-
tion. He says all violators of the
law look alike to him.
1t Is to be hoped these parties
can settle their differences q
more gentlemanly way. Each side
claims the other is not sincere in
wishing to settle the arguments by
actual baseball.
