DOUGLASS IN BAD AGAIN.

The residents of Gilpin county will
remember one James Douglass, who
was here year ago, taking orders
for clothing. On the clothing that
was ordered through him, he would
demand a deposit. Whoever paid him
any money was just that much out
as the clothing never showed up.
Douglass was arrested on the charge
OF defrauding several of the citi-
zens AMI was fined. Evidently the
man has not reformed and has been
working the gullible in Grand county,
as the following from the Hot Sui
phur Springs Times will show:
Grand county seems to be an ex-
cellent territory for dead beats to
explore and get in their work on
susceptible public. The latest fake of
this sort known to be rowing over
Middle Park is a man giving his
name as James Douglass and who
says that he is in the employ of the
big clothing firm of Wanamaker and
Brown of Philadelphia.
Douglass and his wife stopped
here several days about three weeks
ago, when that gentleman proceeded
to contract number of booze bills,
beat the printer out OF a bill for job
work and took number of orders
for clothing which are net in sight
as yet. This is not so strange, but
some of the parties are beginning to
feel nervous because of the fact that
they made cash deposits on their
orders.
Douglass has been travelling in a
livery rig which he hired for three
days from Henry McE,roy Of Krem-
mling. After he had kept the rig
for more than three weeks. McElroy
started out to investigate. He, how
ever, had heard from Douglass from
time to time over the phone from
different sections of the county.
Last Friday Mr.. McElroy passed
through town on his way to Nc
Carty's ranch near Lehman, whore
Douglass and wife were then located.
McElroy returned the next day with
his team, but the clothing man was
short on change and could give the
liveryman only a promise. which
seems to be poor pay when there is
nothing back OF II.
III this man Douglass is still doing
business in Grand county, the
Times would suggest that the people
look cut for him and turn him down
cold. He'll probably present he
card which was printed at this cfsic2
and which work we did gratuitous'y
along with the other suckers he
worked"

George Peaman, son of Mrs. ]. S.
Beaman, died in California Friday of
last week. He had been ailing for
months with kidney trouble and as
a last resort went to California, seek
ing relief from the disease which was
rapidly shortening his life. He was
too far gone, however, for the ell
mate of that state to do him any
good. Mr.. Beaman was born and
raised in Central City and while 1t
had been many years since he re-
sided here, was still well known.
Mrs. Beaman. the mother, is now in
California, as is also Mrs. Florence
Mcclure, sister Of deceased.

His name is J. Grove and be lives On
his own farm in the Kaw valley of
Kansas
Grove is a colored man.
He came up to Kansas In that
strange exodus from the cotton states
which some would be philanthropist
introduced as the solution of the race
problem.
Many Of these colored people, after
working for a time on their little
patches OF ground. drifted into the
towns or left the state.
Grove stayed.
He worked as a hired hand. And
this was observed Of him-that he
would work only where potatoes were
grown. He seemed obsessed with the
potato notion. He studied potatoes,
talked potatoes, dreamed potatoes.
Now It is a good thing to have a
practical hobby and ride it whenever
you can get astraddle.
Grove had saved a little money. and
he rented a few acres and started rails
ing potatoes his way.
That venture-it was twenty years
ago-came near breaking Groves back
financially. He raised the finest po-
tatoes In the Kaw valley. but unfortu-
nately the price was so low there was
scercely enough to pay for the rent
and the seed.
Nevertheless
Next year Grove had another crop of
potatoes Potatoes were scare. and he
got big price. He bought his acres
and rented more ground.
The fat and the lean years seemed
to alternate. and Grove kept on in the
potato business.
Now, should you ever happen to be
In the vicinity of Edwardsville, Kan.
be sure to visit Groves big potato
farm.
You will see more power machines
for planting, blowing. digging and
sorting potatoes than you ever dream
ed OF. In the busy season you will see
white men working Groves ma
chinery.
And the neighbors say 1t will take at
least six figures to represent Groves
wealth
WneEe old ne get lit
Just potatoes.
There are lot of things that Grove
does not know, but be knows how to
raise potatoes in the Kaw valley bet
ter than any other man, and he knows
he knows it.
