bring the subject into full conscious
ness. In this instance, as hours
passed and the young man still lay
as one dead, his companions became
excited, and the mob spirit be-
came rampant, as they demanded
the life of the hypnotist. Seeing an
excellent chance to shuttle off the
stage for good, he turned to the mob
and told them:
gentlemen. il you fellows want
me. all right: but If you ever ex-
pect to see your friend alive again,
you'd better wait about lynching me
till / get through. If you kill me,
no power on earth can ever wake
your friend" This Quieted them for
the time, and, a few hours later, the
sleeper awoke, none the worse for
his long nap.

gruesome thing as 1t seems to the
uninitiated The subject is dieted

pipe a foot in diameter. through
which the subject gets air and can
be watched evry minute from the
time he is put under ground until he
is dug up. He comes out none the
worse for his experience except
feeling of lassitude and dizziness,
which soon wears off.
Mrs. Alburtus has some funny eX-
periences also. In one of her acts

then placed in dark cabinet with
only her head appearing. In this
position she is able to release her
self after few minutes efforts.
While the tying is going on, her
husband, in spirit of pleasantly
gets off little speech, saying, Gen
tlemen, don't be afraid; you can't
choke her to death, I've tried it lots
of times" Sometimes he is taken
literally, and the cords are pulled
SO tight about her neck that she Is
really in danger of strangling.
Alburtus has been urged to stay
in Greedy a few nights more, and
will give a performance tonight at
the Majectic theatre at the usual
prices prevailing lHeie' leA eentS.
Tonight he has promised to get out
of the big steel cage, and has called
for volunteers to lock him in with
their own locks. The volunteers
will be on hand, too, this time, with
locks and chains that will give him
the time of his life to get loose.

acquaintances private perform

SHOW PEOPLE
have ROMANCE

Finding life on the vaudeville cir
cult unsatisfactory and lonely with
out his sweetheart. Flo, who with his
partner, Ishoo. entertained the pub
lie at the Orpheum last week, was
married Friday afternoon to the
young lady OF his choice who ar
rived here Friday morning from
Montana.
Flo Is in real life Peter Blondin
and his bride was Miss Junetta Rose
Allison of Lead City. S. d. She has
been spending some time in Mon
tana and came from there to Gree
ley to meet Mr.. Blondin.
If there was an unusual sprightli-
ness and zest noticed in the perfor-
nance of Flo Saturday night at the
Orpheum, it was because the de-
mure little bride was watching with
loving eyes the entertainers.
The couple were married by Just
ice T. C. Pressly at his office Friday
afternoon.

BOTH SQUADS
OF GREELEY
ARE DEFEATED
Normals Score Against Longmont
for First Time of the Season
Balch Out Of Game

Both Greeley football teams had
a taste OF defeat Saturday. The
Greeley high and South Denver con-
test in this city resulted 81 to O..
while the Normal high boys got the
short end of a 36 to 8 count over at
LOngmont
The Normal boys furnished the
real surprise in their game. Long
mont has held the state champion
ship for several years and only the
best teams cross her goal. Prof.
Lister has a squad of about twenty
players, all light and every one a
beginner at the business. A score
OF go to 0 was the best the support
ers OF the team had hoped for so
the JOY created by the showing made
by the team was great. The kids
couldn't do much on defense as
their heavy opponents plowed
through the line at will. Whenever
they did get the ball they played
the ends and used the forward pass.
with the result that they made n
touchdown and kicked one over.
incidentally, that Is the first time
Longmont has been scored on this
season.
The game here was one sided the
Denver team completely outclassing
the home boys, and scored at will
Harry Balch was out of the game
because OF a sprained back and his
absence was felt keenly by the team.

SWEET POTATOES ARE
GROWN AT PLATTEVILI4E

There is no doubt but that any
thing in the line OF garden and farm
product can be grown successfully
in the Platteville district.
The newest crop coming to our
notice is that of sweet potatoes.
John Bash brought some excellent
of Jersey yellow sweets to
this office Wednesday morning.
They were grown by Louis Ford
from plants secured from Mr.. Bash.
and were tried more for an expert
ment than anything else.
These sweets were not so large as
the eastern potatoes. but are well
shaped, have an excellent color and
flavor, and the vines produced a
heavy yield.
The sandy loan soil on the up
land here is particularly we'll adapt
ed to this crop, and these few vines
have made such a splendid showing
that next season will probably see
more OF our land planted to sweet
spuds. We feel sure that 1t can be
made a profitable crop.-Platte-

Judge Haynes, One Of the Oldest oi
Union Colonists, Quietly OBJ
serves Occasion

Judge S. B. A. Haynes, one Of
the Oldest of the original Union

birthday in a qiuet way Sunday, re-

stunts" which can be seen at hun
dreds of smaller fairs.
The smallest of us can criticise
and if we were to offer any sugges-
tions to the management of the fair
we would mildly hint that part of
the money paid for these thrillers
would, put in some Improvements
on the grounds that would add much
to the comfort and convenience of
the patrons. These will, however,
in due time, be added.
1t being our first visit to Greeley
We were much impressed by the
gradual development from our own
locality to that of the Greeley dis
tion actually begins. Looking at the
wonderful array in the agricultural
building, some of which was raised
within so few miles of our own
Briggsdale, we saw bright visions
of what this vast territory with the
same fertile soil, bright sunshine
and natural advantages, will be in
few years when we have the prom
ised supply of the all-important
water.
This bringing together of the
fruits of industry, year after year,
must be a great inspiration to every
citizen and land owner in Weld to
do his very best and persevere de-
spite drought and privation. We are
now starting at point which ii
took the Greeley pioneers years to
aatain.-B Banner.

She eventually got tired OF this
mode of spending her young lie,

keep the wife he already possessed,

Born in a circus tent, from q
mother who was herself born in a
circus, and who died with Ringing
Bros, in Denver. Alburtus came into
the show business naturally and
knows nothing else. In the course
of his hypnotic work he has run
against many a snag erected by the
police department of some OF the
hundreds of the cities that he has
visited.
These obstacles he says are usu-
ally interposed by persons OF
through complaints of those who are
not really conversant with hypnotic
phenomena, and are due to mis-
taken idea as to danger or cruelty
connected with the spectacular ex-
periments attempted.
In Greeley there was clash be-
tween the mayor and the chief oil
police over Alburtus' proposal tC
bury hypnotised man alive for
period of several days. He was re.
auested to give up the burial, and
did so. He was allowed to place
sleeping girl in the show window Of
Woods music store. where she laid
80 hours before being awakened
Next day he put hypnotised young
man on a suspended bicycle in the
same window, where he was to dc
. Marathon stunt for twelve hours
continuously This was stopped g
few hours later because of COM
plants that came to Marshal Camp
He was also notified that his pro-
posal to drive, blindfolded. a team
through the principal streets OF
Greeley, would not be allowed. Usu-
ally, however, he does not meet
these objections from people or po-
lice where he gives exhibitions.
One hair raising experience he
won't forget in many a month. In

era, he had buried hypnotized man
and kept him there thirty days.

POPULAR PAIR
QUIETLY WE'D

A quiet wedding was solemniZed
"Wednesday evening at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. F. w. Atherton. when
Miss Ora Brown became the bride
of Lee Knutson. The rooms were
prettily decorated for the occasion
with bright autumn howers. The
ceremony was performed at S
O'Clock by Rev. Mr.. Peterson of the
Swedish Baptist church.
The bride wore a dainty white
embroidery dress, carried carna-
tions and the couple were unattend-
ed. The wedding march was played
by Miss Rhoda Knutson, sister of
the groom. Following the ceremony
a wedding supper was served by
Mrs. Atherton. Only relatives Of
the couple were present.
The bride came here two years
ago from Virginia and has won
many friends during her stay here.
The groom is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John knutson and is employed
with the Atherton Rubber Tire
Works. The bride and groom went
at once to their home on Ninth

satisfaction in the proof furnished
At the Weld county fair last week of
the truth of its contention that the
Erie country stands in the front

what We failed to show did not,
and we sincerely hope that no one

DEATH BEATS
DIVORCE SUIT

Death instead of the courts, made
Mrs. Susan Shoemaker, who lives
near Ault, widow. Notice of the
divorce proceedings which were
filed here by Mrs. Shoemaker we're
returned Wednesday from Osceola,
Mo-, with a short note attached,
which said that the death of Charles
L. Shoemaker occurred a few days
before the papers arrived.
Charles and Susan Shoemaker
were married in 1873 and two years

life. he one day left the house and
failed to return. Mrs. Shoemaker
learned this summer that he was in
Csceola, Mo-, and at once filed suit
in the county court for divorce.

The Weld County Fair

The Weld county fair of 1911 was
. decided success in every respect,
despite the non-appearance of the
aeroplane.
The agricultural, horticultural and
poultry display was each whole
show in itself, and fully equal to
some we have seen at some of the
state fairs in the east. There was
no hint OF drought or crop failure
in either of these departments, nor
in that of the kitchen and pantry
stores. We could not but wonder
what 1t must be in a bountiful year.
The balloon ascensions and para
chute jumps were successful and
doubtless drew many people, while
others were disappointed in not see-
ing the aeroplane flight. Had the
displays been short. we might have
felt the lack of such diversions, but
we got our moneys worth without
them. The Weld county fair need
not depend for attractions on these
