WHO WAS THE RUBE
That Denver Con Man Worked for
His Roll?

Sundays Denver Republican had
the following story, that we reproduce
in the hope that some of our readers
may be able to tag the poor innocent
farmer mentioned:
MANY a man is sent to Jail who is
as innocent as the stars which SHINE
above the roof OF the Jail in which he
is unjustly incarceratcd,' remar ked
Red" Hogan when he was locked
up for the fortieth time, according to
the police records, last night by Po-
liceman McIntire, who says he has
the goods" on Red in his latest
swindle, that of selling another mans
wagon to gentleman from Rocky
Ford, who gave every evidence, from
the manner in which he went after the
bait hung ont by "Red' OF beng the
proverbial farmer.
"Red" gives his name as IN. f. Ho-
gan, liquor dealer. 80 years OF age"
and to the astonishment OF the police
declared that he was not only innocent
OF the crime but that he had never
been arrested before, except on occa-
sions where | was unjustly suspicion
ed"
Hogan is alleged to have got into
conversation with man in Larimer
street saloon and when the Rocky
Ford farmer expressed his intention
Of buying a wagon to have introduced
the prospective victim to his partner.
The two OF them are said 10 have ta-
ken the farmer to shed and sold him
a wagon, in which they had not the
slightest equity, and to have collected
$40 cash on the purchase.
Red first came in connection with
the police department in 1899 for a
pcttv swindling game. He has been
arrested about 40 times, the police re-
cords show. since that time; has serv-
ed numerous sentences in jail. but has
always escaped the penitentiary He
is held at the present time for further
investigation by the police.

whereby the needs of the two COM
munitics were viewed in common. The
results were remarkable; the frontier
disappeared almost by magic. So that
it was felt that a joint ownership wa.
equally logical.
Business men of all of these noun
tain states are daily making invest
ments in Denver. Salt Lake, Butte,
Helena, Boise, Albuquerque. Las We
gas, Roswell, Bisbee. Douglas and
other cities, thus making universal
telephone system connecting them to-
gether. a commercial necessity.
The new company will operate its
exchanges and toll lines in Utah, Wy
oming, Montana. Idaho, Eastern Ari-
zona, New Mexico and Colorado.
There is a strong inter-relation oil
business in this great territory we
cover, and we hope to meet the tele-
phone needs and requirements OF this
vast area. which covers some 10000
square miles, or nearly one-sixth OF
the total area of the United States,
more intelligently and more extcn-
sively than we could expect to do with
three separate corporations. We al
ready count 100000 subscribers sta
tions, and | expect to sec this number
doubled within five years. To do this
will require large sums of money.
and to get such sums we must market
a safe, stable and conservative stock.
This we expect to do. | wish to call
attention to the fact that the issued
capitalization of the three companies
combined is less than the capital LA
bilities OF those three companies sep
arate, In other words, the safety of
the investment is increased and the
benefit to the public is alike apparent
since it insures moderate and reason
able rates to care for the decreased
dividend and interest requirements -

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION
Gives Fire Department Hard Fight
Tuesday Morning

Shortly after o'clock on Tuesday
morning the siren whistle aroused the
citizens to the knowledge that fire was
n progress at that uncanny hour. and
those who shook off the sloth of sleep and
followed the fire department saw as
stubborn blaze and as gallant little
fight by Fire Chief Tinsley and his COM
pany of fire fighters as has been witnessed
in this city for long time.
The fire was in the residence of Ben
Coleman, the painter, on North Fourth
street. and had its origin in clothes
closet on the top floor of the two-story
frame building. Mrs. Coleman and chill
dren. who were sleeping in an adjoining
room, were awakened by the intense
smoke and rushed out and gave the
alarm. BY the time the fire department
arrived the upper story was mass of
flames, but Chief Tinsley managed to
mount the stairs with the chemical hose
and in short time had the flames under
control in that part OF the house. But
the fire had penetrated to the attic and it
was found necessary to rig temporary
trestle for the firemen before they could
play upon the flames through the attic
window and it was c.cse to two hours
before the fire was finally subdued.
Willing helpers had carried most OF the
furniture on the first floor to a place of
safety. SO that it was only the bedding
and fittings upstairs and the building that
were damaged. and as the house was in
sured the fire loss will not be great.

BIRD MEN AT SPRINGS.
Will Try to Circle Pixies Peak Dur,
ing Carnival Next Week.

Colorado Springs, Colo. July 27.-,
With Aviators p. o. Parmalee and
Clifford Turpin, two OF the most e~-
pert birdmen in the United States, en-
tered for the aviation flights to be
given in Colorado Springs next Wed
nesday and Thursday during the week
of the big city carnival, the chances
of sensations being sprung in the
aviation line are bright. Parmalee,
who is the holder OF the American
long distance, endurance and treight
carrying records, has announced his
determination to circle Pixies Peak
at an altitude that will break the pres
ent high record and for this purpose
is bringing the new model Wright
biplane which has been christcned
The Pike" in honor of the occasion.
The new aircraft has been specially
built by the Wrights for work in high
attitudes and embodies all the latest
kinks in the art of the expert build
ers. 1t is the smallest, strongest,
most powerful and fastest biplane
ever turned out of the Dayton shops.
Its planes can be warped to such an
extent that it can make right-about
turns in one-third the angle required
by machines of the old type and the
advantage of this in a shifty breeze is
evident. While the Wrights do not
promise to surmount Pixies Peak
which is over 1900 feet high, they
are confident that Parmalee can circle
the giant at an altitude greater than
1000 feet at about which the present
record stands. Roswell park where
the start will be made is 6,ooo feet
above sea level so that the aviators
will have to rise only about 5000 feet
to break the record. Parmalec is as
cool as he is daring and has never
had a serious accident in his career.
Turpin the other aviator is equally
expert and is the holder OF several fine
aviation trophies.

For the second year in succession G, X.
Bumgarner gets years free subscription
to the Enterprise for the first ripe home
grown cantaloupes Of the season brought
to this office. The fruit that makes
Rocky Ford famous" was grown on Mr..
Bumgarner's place west of town and was
brought in on Monday. just one day later
than that received last year, which was
on July %.
The lucky winner of the premium had
a very close call for the honor this year,
as early Tuesday morning Geo. B.Samp-
les, the well-known cantaloupe expert,
sent US in fine specimen of the noted
product of his Valley View farm, and
he was closely followed by gentleman
from Newdale. and along toward evening
Marion Westfall showed up with fully
matured melon from his farm northeast
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1911-07-28

Of town.
From this evidence as well as from re-
ports received it is evident that home
grown cantaloupes will begin to come in
right away although it will likely be some
time next week before basket shipments
commence in earnest.
Last year the first basket shipmentfrom
this city was sent out by the Ebbert Seed
Co. onJuly2zand this year basket ship
ment was made upon the same date. 1t
was made by G.B,Samples. who yester-
day sent out the first basket to Denver.
It will likely be another ten days
before the melons begin to come in ear
nest. as the early patches are few this
season.
With the approach of the cantaloupe
season the commission men are beginning
to come in and there are signs of activity
