NIGHT FIGHT
AT EVANS May
PROVE SERIOUS
Mike O'Grady Badly Beaten up
Blow ON Temple may Cause
Conclusion of Brain.

Evans, June 14.-Mike O'Grady
is lying in precarious condition
at the home of his father-in-law
here as result of fight last
night. His brother-in-law, Guy
White was arrested this morning by
Sheriff McAfee, but it is expected
that he will be released on bonds
furnished by his father pending the
outcome of the condition of o.
Grady.
O'Grady is suffering from a num-
ber of bad cuts on his face. The
most serious injury is from blow
on the temple that it is feared may
have caused conclusion of the
brain.
1t appears that O'Grady had been
staying at Evans with his relatives
for some time since he was en-
gagged in business in Denver. The
story current here ia that his con.
duct recently did not meet with the
approval OF his brother-in-law who
demonstrated with him last night
The words brought on fight dur
ing which O'Grady was severely
worsted.

DENVER HOT
ON The TRAIL
OF DAIRYMEN
Milk Dealers Must Make Good i
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Conditions
Have Greatly Improved

Denver, June 13-The names of
seven more dairies were presented
to the fire and police board this
morning charged by the milk de-
partment with being unsanitary and
with lacking equipment required by
the city ordinance.
Milk Inspector Kelly has request
ed the fire and police board to re-
woke their licenses. He is determ-
ined that every dairy shall come up
to the required standard or shall
not he allowed to sell milk.
The milk department issued an
order this spring requiring all dali
ries to install sterilizing plants in
order that the bottles might be
thoroughly cleansed each time after
use. Practically every dairy under
the supervision of the department
has complied with the regulation.
Inspector Kelly is making one OF
the most thorough campaigns ever
made against the dairies in this dis
trict. He has improved the sani-
tary conditions fully 80 per cent,
it is said. and he will endeayor to
raise it even higher

LASALLLE
PLANNING
BIG Time
MONSTER FOURTH CELEBRA.
TION WELL UNDER WAY
OTHER TOWNS TO JOIN IN
Tug of War Between Evans and La
Sale u Eeature.-All Sorts
of Events Planned at Big
Picnic.

LaSalle, June 14-At meeting
of the Fourth of July celebration
committee at LaSale last night,
James A. Stewart, George Briggs,
and Messrs. Cheek and Glasgow
were appointed to confer with the
citizens of Evans and extend an
invitation to the sister city to join
in a monster Fourth of July cele-
bration to be pulled off at LaSalle.
At Evans the commercial club,
which has been considering a cele-
bration at Evans, looked favorably
upon the invitation and appointed
,Messrs. Charles Huffsmith, DR..
Downey and DR.. Hill a committee
to confer with the LaSalle commit
tee and perfect all arrangements.
No hitch was encountered in work
ing out details, so rousing time
may be expected.
1t is plann ed to hold the cele-
bration in Dunn's grove. an eighth
of mile east of La Sale, where
there is ample shade for the COM
fort of 5000 people. Among the
good things promised is a tug of
war between Evans men and La
Sale men. and ball game be-
tween mines composed of Evans
business men and La Sale business
men. This bids to be a hummer.
The Greeley Commercial band Will
probably furnish the music, though
negotiations are not quite COM
plete. There will be grand dis
play OF fireworks in the evening, a
large order having been already
placed. Sack races, donkey races,
potato races, creased pig and a lot
of other attractions. too numerous
to MENTION" as the auction bills
would put it, are under considera-
ton
AS there is no celebration plan
ned for Greeley it is expected that
many from this city will spend the
day at La Sale.

county took kindly to the idea of

hundred contested and the judges
would have liked more prizes to
distribute, as some of the verses
we're clever enough for reward.

zone of the queerest cases l have
ever seen" said Sheriff McAfee in
regard to the girl who has been at
the county hospital since Monday
night after having been brought
there from Fort Lupton, where she
was found wandering about as
though drugged or demented.
THE girl is either out of her
head or is one of the cleverest i'm
personators I have ever seen" is
the way the sheriff puts it, after
having watched the case for the
past two days.
According to the statement of
physicians who were called to at
tend the girl, she is not i'll in any
manner and shows no effects Of
having been poisoned with drugs.
Neither do they seem to think that
she is demented. Others who have
talked with her and listened to the
rambling stories she reels off by the
hour are inclined to believe that
she is feigning insanity for some
reason or other, and is doing it with
tonsumate cleverness.
Unless the girl is insane she pre-
sents a problem to the county, since
she is able bodied and can not be
retained as county charge unless
mentally defective. In that event
! she might be committed to the
state asylum at Pueblo.
After her protracted rest in the
hospital she does not appear to re,
gain her senses. A careful surve.
of the persons reported missini
throughout the state does not shoy
any one answering her description
Unless some of her friends or rela
tives are located within the next
few days it is probable that her
mental condition will be subjected
to an eXpere examination.
