will Be pleased to learn that their son John
S. custsr Is the recipient Of another hon
orabls promotion in the line Of his sehol-
astie profession. Mr.. Custsr is one Of

Of American college boys who attained

with him the honorary degree given
such students at Oxford.
Last year. to still further equip, himself
in learning, he obtained = subordinate
instruetorship in Wisconsin University

his teaching. That he acquitted himself
well seems evident by dispatch from
Madison appearing in our last Sunday
daily papers announcing that Mr.. Custer
had been appointed assistant professor
in American History in the University
Of Wisconsin.
Rocky Ford has been pleased to have
the reflected glory that comes Of distine-
ton attained by one Of our young men in

with his parents at this latest recognition
Of their sons ability.
Previous to his going to Oxford John
Custer had graduated from William
Jewel College. Mo-. school in which at
least three Of our Rocky Ford boys have
taken their college training.
The Rhodes scholarship in addition To
student maintenance at Oxford makes
possible some extended vacation time
tours through Europe. and Of these Mr..
Custer took advantage as an additional
means Of culture. His several letters to
home papers while doing some Of the
ancient cities OF the old world were read
with great interest by his friends here
Their wish will bs that health and
strength 10 make use Of his unusual
school attainmsnts may Be his future
good fortune.

high School Annual
More than few progrss sivs move
msnts have been instituted this year At
the high sehoo!. Chief among these
movements Is the publication Of an
annual appropriately called The Rsfise-
tor"
The book 10 being published BY the
senior class who are not only making Il :
credit to themselves but TO the school n
well. Tho Reflector. a. the name sug-
pssts, reflects the life Of the school In
such vivid manner that both faculty and
students who are here this year may re-
call in years hence the memories OF
lelo-ll school days. It portrays every
phase Of the school and discusses all ae-
tivities. The history Of the Rocky Ford
schools. the account Of the literary and
athelstie contests, the class histories and
poems, jokss and eonundrums are 50 in
tsrestingly written and arranged that the
book will not only appeal to the people.
but will in after years be q cherished
msmento with which no one will care to
part. That it will BE- priced by former
students is assured by the fact that il
contains an interesting history Of the
Alumni. giving the name Of all former
graduates.
The book is not merely history but =
picture book also. Faculty, seniors, the
lower classes, debating and athletic
teams. the orator. reader and many other
groups are shown in very best Of half
tones. The humorous and comic events
are exceedingly well represented BY car
toons. Doubtless for such book this IS
its strongest feature. The art editor left
nothing undons in this department.
The publication Of such book for the
first time has been . difficult task. It
was only through the united efforts Of the
four classes and The encouragement the
staff had from the business men that the
class was able to put out such an at
traetive and valuable souvenir.
With the hearty cooperation Of his staff
James Hall. the sditor-in-ehisf. has en-
dsavored to leave nothing half done in
the book. HIS earnest efforts are now
rewarded with the publication Of bsau-
tiful Renaissance Of his and his class

The Los Angeles Murders.
New York World \

/ tINcW Iolh NfOliu.B
Oct1, 1910, the building of the Los
Angeles Times was wrecked by dynamite
| Twenty-one lives were lost.
| This same day attempts were made to
blow up the auxiliary plant of the Times,
| the home of General Harrison Gray Otis,
its publisher, and the home of the score
tary of the Merchants and Manufactur-
ers' association, which organization had
assisted General Otis in fighting the labor
unions of Los Angles.
General Otis charged the unions with the
responsibility for the explosion and the
murder of these p persons. The accusa-
tons made by General Otis were indig-
nantly denied by representatives of organ
lied labor, but they did nothing to clear
up the mystery. William j. Burns, the
co graft cases, was put ON the case by the
Los Angeles authorities, and as a result
of his Investigations John j. Mcnamara,
secretary treasurer of the International
Association of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers, was arrested in indianapolis
Saturday charged with murder in connec-
ton with the Los Angeles explosion. The
fact then came to light that two other ar
rests had been made Apr. II in Detroit by
the Burns agency and kept secret, one of
the men being James B. Mcnamara, a
union printer who is brother of John j.
Mcnamara, and the other A. E. McMoni-
gal, a structural iron worker
1t is claimed by the Burns agency that
in the suitcases of the men arrested in
Detroit were found IL clockwork internal
machines similar to the one found at the
Otis residence the night of the Times ex-
ploslon, in addition to an automatic pistol
a revolver and a rifle equipped with a
"silencer" to deaden the sound of the
shot. In an Indianapolis barn the police
also found II sticks of dynamite and two
quart-cans of nitroglycerine which struct-
ural iron worker says were placed there
last January by John J. Mcnamara. 1t is
intimated by the dectives that there is
close connection between the Los Angeles |
explosion and various explosions that have
occurred in different parts Of the country |
during the last year in the course of labor |
wars
Whether proof of such conspiracy can |
be established is a matter that will have to |
be determined in court, along with the |
guilt or innocence of the persons now UNI
der arrest. Without accepting the accusa-
tons or the statements of the detectives,
the fact remains that after 20 years of |
warfare between General Otis and the
labor unions the Los Angeles Times build
ing was blown up, presumably by dyna-
mite, and 81 lives were destroyed. Some
body committed the crime.
No element in the country has greater
personal interest in seeing that the guilty
