equally as good a training for this line

j. r. Spencer, u respected citizen of
Brush, committed suicide by cutting
his throat Monday night at about II o.
clock. Mr.. Spencer, who has been in
poor health for the past year, had been
subject to fits of melancholia. He was
around Monday afternoon and seemed
in good spirits. His wife woke up
about 1890 and missing her husband,
who had not gone to bed, summoned
her son Ira, who was attending lodge.
A hunt for him by the wife resulted in
her finding her husband in the barn with
his throat cut. He had left his home
on the south sids and going int4 the
field had cut his throat with razor,
severing his windpipe and esophagus,
Probably regretting his rash act he had
started toward the house, but was un-
able to get further than the barn.
When found he was conscious remain
ing so until his death, which occurred
at o'clock. He recognized his family
and seemed to know every thing going
on. When asked whether he wished to
be taken to Denver, he made vigorous
objection by shaking his head and ges-
ticulating his arms. The doctors called
thought at first that there might be a
chance to save the patent, but on ex-
animation gave up all hope.
Mr.. Spencer was 6S years old, and
had lived in Brush for the past three
years, coming here fIom Julesburg.
He had conducted livery stable in
partnership with his son, but sold out
last fall. He was a man of considera-

W. A. Peck, at the wheel of Mid
land car, left Moline, ILL.,, Monday morn
ing, June 10, on an overland run tc
San Francisco. Mr.. Peck's schedule
calls for the covering of 1928 miles Of
all sorts of roads in a 1872 hours. There
will be no night travel and the trip as
figured will require eleven days.
1t is estimated that from 1900 to
1000 automobile owners will travel from
the east and middle west by auto in 1915
to visit the Panama exposition in San
Fransisco. Auto enthusiasts with a
craving for transcontinental runs, who
up to the present time have crossed the
Rockies, have followed the old Santa
Fe trail. Mr.. Peck's intention is to
enter Denver, passing on through Salt
Lske City and Reno, blazing the trail
for one of the shortest and at the same
time most picturesque routes imag-
Unable.
Data will be completed enroute and on
completion of the trip route book will
be prepared. The book will be very
similar to the one which is issued for
guidance of Glidden tourists after the
pathfinder has completed his run. Pur-
pose in sending the car out at this time
is so the years of 1912, 1913 and 1914
may be available for improvement of
bad roads. If pressure can be brought
to bear on the highway commissioners
or other road author tiles in the various
townships and improvements can be
secured where bad roads are encounter
ed, it will mean that there will be an
improved highway for auto travel west
to the Golden Gate.

ALttcrnry Society Is to be Organized
Hero Next Tu,sday Night,
January 10th.

1t is understood that our literary so.
:icty is to be revived again. A literary
was organized last winter which was
very successful for few months, but
owing to many members moving away
from town the society was disbanded
until enough active members could be
secured again for a new organization.
A meeting will be called next Tuesday
evening, January 10th for the purpose
of organizing and it is hoped that
everybody will take an interest in this
and push it along, for a good literary
society is a good thing in any commun
ity. Besides organizing and few
talks of interest, recitation will be
given by R. E. Arnold.
Be sure and meet at the Raymer
school house next Tuesday evening at
8 O'Clock sharp.
