NO INDIANS
AT BRANCH OF
ACGIE SCHOOL
Board Will Visit Ft. Lewis Indian
School Donated by GOvern-
ment to the State

J. l.. Brush returned Friday from
Fort Collins where he attended a
meeting of the board of trustees of
the State Agricultural college. Mr..
Brush will leave next Tuesday with
the executive committee of the
board, the secretary and President
Lory for the branch school of the
college which was opened six months
ago at the old Fort Lewis Indian
school, across the range.
This school belonged to the gov
ernment and had been closed fol-
sometime. Last. year the school was
given by the government to the
state of Colorado provided it should
be kept open each year and Indians
who desired to enter should be
admitted. The state turned the
school over to the Agricultural col
lege and it has been running the
last six months under the superivis
ion of the college directors and fac
ulty.
There has been some trouble ex
perienced in financing the new
school through the first year, bu
it is thought that the membership
will be increased next year. In
dians were given the privilege o
entering the school. but none were
enrolled the first year.

years, and soon after his arrival, seeing
the opportunity of doing the country
benefit as well as to carry out his theory,
he purchased big steam plow outfit
and went to work. In the last three
years he has probably plowed 5000
acres, and he is proud of the fact that
his work has given satisfaction. Farm
ers all over the country want the preach

to turn the soil for 500 acres of flax
west Of here. Not content with preach
ing twice day on Sundays and through
the week at his Ault church, besides at
tending other ministerial duties, he goes
fortnightly to the Olive Branch school
house, where he has built up congre-
cation Of IS members this winter. In
order to make quick trips between his
two fields of work he purchased an au-
tomobile, and every day in the year

ARE NEAR
DEATH IN
BIG FIRE
MIR. AND MRS. JAMES LAURk,
TENANTS ON OLD COLONY
FARM, AWAKE TO FIND HOME
BURNING CAUSE UNKNOWN

Mr. and Mrs. James Laurk, who
live in bunk house on the Old
Colony farm southwest of Greeley,
narrowly escaped with. their lives,
when they awoke Monday a. m. at l
o'clock and found their house in
flames. Rushing into their yard,
their first thought was to save the
new Ford auto which was in the
garage near the house. but the ga
rage was found to be in flames, also,
and the auto exploded as they
reached the building. 1t was evil
dent that the fire had started in a
shed, between the house and the
garage and spread both ways. The
farm and auto were the property of
the Empson Packing company. F.
II. Young, the field superintendent
for the company, lived in the ranch
house, and his brother-in-law,
James Laurk, who is employed on
the farm, was occupying the bunk
house. which was near the garage
and shed.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The loss is estimated at about $2,-
900. Mr.. Young lost what was
known as the largest barn in Gree
ley by fire a few months ago on his
own ranch in west Greeley. The
loss was $4,000 with no insurance.

MAKE WAY TO GREELEY

GIL, May 6.-Saying that thew
wanted TO go to visit their grand
mother, Mrs. c. l.. Pace, who lives
III Greeley, Lynn and carl. the six
ana nine year old sons of Charles
Shodsrass, the blacksmith here un-
Ieu the morse and carriage of j. II.
English while the owner was in
church yesterday afternoon and
droVe away. The carriage was not
missed until an hour afterward
When Mr.. English went to get it to
so home. Some one had noticed the
iads drive away and officers were
asked to be on the lookout for the
runaways.
sure enough, the boys went di-
rectiy to their grandmother home
on sixth avenue. They told her
that English had given them per-
mission to take his outfit and were
sound asleep when Officer Randolph
arrived at the Pace home. This
morning they We're sent home and
the buggy and horse returned TO Mr..
English. This is not the first time
the lads have given trouble. Several
sundays ago they drove off the Rev.
Lynn's horse as it was hitched in
front of the church and had lots of
tun driving ii around for two hours.
Their father is blacksmith here
and he and the boys's mother are
deaf mutes. For this reason Gill
people have been lenient with the
mischief of the boys. For the sake
of the children as we'll as the
neighborhood it is believed the
children should have more atten-
tion than their parents are able to
give them. Recently Mrs. Snod-
grass applied for a divorce from her
husband, but it is understood the
difficulties between the two were
patched up and they are not at their
home in Gill.

Ault, May 6.-That minister OF the
gospel can preach better sermon on
Sunday if he engage in manual labor a
part of the week, and that by working
with his hands as well as his brains he
is enabled to get the view point OF his
parishioners better, is the opinion OF
Rev. w. L. Cline, pastor of the Christ
ian church here, who has contracted to
plow several hundred acres of land and
has already fulfilled part Of his con-
tract, Saturday afternoon the Rev.
Cline left his work and rode twenty
miles to baptize nine converts from the
Olive Branch district, who united with
the church yesterday.
Probably there is no more popular
minister in northern Weld county than
Rev. Cline, the ''jolly preacher" who
saws a minister should exchange joke
now and then with his people and not be
opposed to enlivening his sermons with
a bit of humor a. often a. possible.
Rev. Cline has resided here for several

ISLAND GROVE
PARK IMPR0VE Ed

visitors to Island Grove park this
summer will hardly recognize the
place as the same grounds as last
summer. The $1,000 voted by the
council for improvements has been
spent with the result that part of
the boulevard that will surround the
park is blocked out, the cattle sheds
moved away from the entrance and
shrubs, trees and lawn substituted
for the unsightly and uneven
ground.
The money appropriated is not
sufficient to finish the improvements
planned, but the maps and profile
have been made so that the work
already begun can be continued on
the same lines that have been start
ed. 1t is assured that by the time
the county fair is held the grounds
will be more beautiful than at any
time in their history.

THIRTY YEARS
ON SAME JOB

To work for thirty years for one
firm and take only four vacations
in that time is the record of Charles
Couzens of Greeley, which probably
cannot be equalled by any resident
in the city. May 30th will round
out thirty years of service by Mr..
Couzens at the McCutcheon Hard
ware store. Mr.. Couzens and Earl
Day have purchased the tin shop
and business of Robert u. Dye in
Coronado Court. Mr. Day will take
possession of the shop next Monday
and conduct the business for few
weeks. Mr. Couzens wished TO
complete his record of thirty years
before leaving Mr.. McCutcheon' $
store. Only four vacations have been
taken by Mr.. Couzens. He has gone
to his former home in western
Canada twice and has taken two
trips to the mountains.

KERSEY ISSUE

Kersey, May 4.-To levy special
school tax of Is mills or 20 mills is
the issue at the annual school cleo
ton here Monday. The question
promises to bring out quite vote
as it is understood the town people
are about evenly divided on the
matter. The Kersey school district
like many others in the county has
had hard shedding" to keep up
with the improvements required. IL
has considerable outstanding
debt Last spring Mrs. Mary I'M
merslun was finally persuaded to
fill the vacancy on the board when
U. G. Drummond resigned. For
several months the kersey district
conducted it's affairs with only two
members on the board. The pres
ent board is Cyrus Neal, treasurer,
Mrs. Rissman, president and Mrs.
Immerslun, secretary. Mrs. I'M
merslun's appointment was good
only until the annual election. 1t
is likely she will succeed herself.
