ROBBERIES AT LAMAR.
Hardware and Grocery Stores Enter
ed Sunday Night.

Lamar, April 29.-Unknown par
ties broke into the Lamar Market
company and the Colclough Hard
ware company stores Sunday night,
robbing the market of lot of can
ned goods and breaking up gum
vending machine, also robbed the
cash drawer of it's contents. The
principal loss discovered at the hard
ware store so far seems to be revol-
vers and knives. 1t is thought that
the robbery was committed by ne
groes of this place, and sharp watch
will be kept on all in the hopes of
getting some clew to the deed.

LEAGUE
TANGLE
IS BAD
MEETING OF MANAGERS FAILS
no DECIDE ON CHAMPIONSHIP
OF WELD COUNTY DEAD
LOCK REMAINS UNCHANGED.

A meeting of the managers Of
the baseball clubs of the Weld
county league was held at the
Bethge cafe last night for the pur-
pose of trying to decide which
team is champion of the league,
but from details that are available
today from managers involved in
the wrangle it appears that the
question is as far from settlement
as it was before the meeting.
LaSalle still claims a right to the
championships; Windsor declares
this is impossible, as LaSalle could
be only tied with Windsor, even if
the game which Eaton won from
Windsor, but which the latter pro-
tests was not fairly won, is given to
Eaton. This, says manager Kirk,
would only make four lost games
for Windsor, the same number of
is understood. that LaSalle has lost.
Kirk says he has the o. X. of sew
eral prominent sports authorities
on his contention that the game
with Eaton was not lost. Among
those whom he says have declared
him to be right, after hearing the
circumstances, are Otto Floto,
pike" Johnson and Mr.. McGill of
Denver He also states that the UNI
pire called him up the next day
and admitted that he had made a
wrong decision. He further states
that LaSalle did not follow the na-
tional rules, which had been adopt
ed, in regard to the'playing of some
of their games on the dates on
which they should have been played.
LaSalle, on the other hand, claims
to have one game the best of the
count in the matter of games won,
| and there you are.

DRIVER NEAR
DEATH WHEN
TEAM SLIPS
Wagon Crashes Over Beet Dump at
Platteville - Michael Morgan
Has Close Shave

Platteville, Oct. 9-Michael
Morgan. boy who was hauling
beets from the Morgan Bros.
ranch, this morning had a narrow
escape from death or serious injury
when a team which he was driving
up the beet dump slipped on the
frosty planks and fell, letting the
wagon with heavy load Of beets
go back Off the dump and crashing
to the ground twelve feet below.
The boy jumped from the top of the
load, and falling upon his back, re-
ceived several bruises, but escaped
serious injury.
When the team fell on the way up
the dump the heavy load of 10000
pounds of beets wrenched the reach
OF the wagon, which broke and left
only the front wheels and the tongue
with the team on the dump. Had
this not broken 1t Is believed that
the team would also have been
dragged of with the wagon. AS 1t
happened, the team escaped further
injury than having their knees
skinned by falling on the planks.

Governor Gives Real Facts Of Two Last
Democratic Administrations.

He cited the action of the farmers
around Montrose who were threat
ened by the factory with closing be-
fore "a better price would be paid
for beets. The farmers announced
that they would raise alfalfa and
other crops on their land and within
hall an hour after this ultimatum
was served the sugar factory signed
up contracts with the farmers for
beets at prices they declared would
result in closing the factory.
Roady's Talk Brief
Roady Kenehan told the audience
that as he was coming back to Gree
ley and the governor could not, it
would be better to give the governor
his time. The governor took most
of the remainder of the evening in
outlining some of the achievements
of the past two democratic admins
trations. He told of the republican
claims two years ago before the fis-
cal year of the state ended, when in
October they declared the admins
tration was 100000 in debt. when
November 80, the ending of the tis-
cal year, a surplus of SlS7.000 was
shown. incidentally he called the
attention of the republicans to the
fact that the Peabody war debt OF
$3.50, 600 and the s2,115,000 debt
left by the robber seventh assembly
were charged to the democrats
falsely.
