Leary' s Robbed

Saturday night, while all good citi.
Zens were wOOing the drowsy god. one
or more persons gained access to the
general store OF Leary Bros. & Co. by
cutting out panel Of the back door
and proceeded to go through the place.
They discovered about ~ In dimes
aud nickles In the cash register. which
they appropriated. and then turned
their attention to the safe. They
knocked of the knob and the face OF
the combination with the back OF a
butchers cleaver, but were unable to
open the safe and Its contents were
found intact. They evidently became
hungry from their strenuous efforts,
as they proceeded to help themselves
literally to eatables from the stock at
hand. Judging by the amount and
kind OF stun consumed, Mr. Leary be-
lieves there must have been three Of
the burglars. No trace OF the depre-
dators has as yet been discovered.
The character OF their work was so
amateurish, however, that it is be-
lieved to have been that OF either To-
cal parties or some tramps who were
passing through town.

It Meant OrdWaY

Last weeks Sugar City Gazette gave
a number Of most potent reasons why
Ordway should be made the perma.
nent county.seat, as follows:
ut IL centrally located, with the
largest population OF any town In the
county; has all the modern conven.
fences Of the up. to-date town-electric
lights, water works, sewerage system
In course OF construction. telephone
exchange, Ice factory, etc.-and will
otherwise offer every reasonable In.
ducement to the citizens Of the coun-
ty for the permanent location OF their
seat OF government"
As these statements cannot. with
reason or any degree OF truthfulness,
be applied to any town In the new
county except Ordway, Bro. Farr no
doubt had our town 10 mind while
collating them. Thanks!

Vineland Defeated
In Sundays Game
Bunch from Beet Dump Failed
to Connect with Rossons
Delivery---Score 2 too

The game last Sunday between the
home team and the husky bunch OF
farmers from the Vineland section re-
suited 10 a whitewash for the visitors,
although they put up good game,
holding the Ordways down to two
runs and six hits. The visitors got
only one hit of Rosson. The home
team played dne game throughout
and It. was pity that there was not a
bigger crowd present to see their stick
work and fielding. Errors were scarce,
each side scoring three.
Next Sunday the Pueblo MOnabats
will be the attraction. This team has
played Two games with Ordway, honors
50 far being even, each side having
wone one game, and the contest next
Sunday will be the deciding one Of
the series Of three. which will probab-
ly be all that will be played between
these clubs during the present season.
The following Sunday our old enemy,
Rocky Ford, will be here and the Sun.
day after that the "ApOstles OF Pure
Water" from Fowler will be offered for
sacrifice. These three games will all
be good ones and the fans should be
out in full force to aid the home team
In the fray.
We are unable to present the box
score OF last Sundays game. as the
man who had the book In charge got
so enthusiastic over the winning
streak our boys showed that he forgot
to put down most of the figures.

Living Suddenly

Mrs, Brown went 10 to see Mrs
Smith, whom she found, tired and
pale, trying to sew with the baby on
her lap.
Life does seem hard" Mrs. Smith
said, after a little ordinary conversa'
tion-'I've just had letter from my
sister wanting me to come there fol
a fortnight and bring the baby. II
looks like heaven to only think OF It,
but OF course can't go"
"Why not?" asked Mrs. Brown.
"Oh, it would be perfectly impos
sible. There's the sewing and the
spring cleaning, besides everything
else. I've got to stay here"
Suppose you died suddenly, what
then?"
20, then Of course they'd just have
to get along somehow.
"Then why not live suddenly, and
let them get along somehow just the
same"
Mrs. Smith stared.
Live suddenly" she said. "Why,
l never heard OF such a thing"
But nevertheless Mrs. Brown man
aged to get her co do It, and the next
week she went of for q fortnight and
didn't come back for month.
What happened at home was like q
miracle
Elsie and Amy, whom their mother
never allowed to take the least care,
took all the care and made father and
the boys have regular picnic. The
boys turned 10 and helped clean the
house. Mrs. Smith cut out the
spring sewing aud showed the girls
how to do it.
The whole family took hold exactly
as they would have done had the wife
aud mother been suddenly snatched
away.
Only as she was just "suddenly
alive" instead, there was Joy instead
OF sorrow, looking ahead, instead ol
looking forward.
And then what home coming will
the baby rosy and all Its back teett
cut, and mother not tired, not pale
not idgety, not nervous.

time 10 years. What stupid lot o

dcers were warned to be On their
guard while attempting the arrest,
as the criminal was apt to endeavor
to make gun play and might kill
someone.
1t seems Heverly came here about
week ago, and Marshal Worker re.
membered after the arrest that he
had talked with him on at least one
occasion previously. He has been
working for a Mr.. Wilson, a newcomer
here, who lives west and south of the
alfalfa mill. He Is man about Is

distinguishing feature a very fiat

reached the Wilson premises they dis.
covered that Heverly was cultivating
beets at some distance from the house.
Going toward the field Mr.. Wilson

In jail, never having fired a shot or
done any thing to verify his reputation
as a bad gunman. His revolver was
not found, and 1t is thought that he

The Ordway Chamber Of Commerce
met In regular session last Tuesday
evening, the chief matter to be taken
up being the starting OF preparations
for the celebration OF Crowley Day,
August 8. The attendance, while fair.
should have been much larger because
Of the important nature OF the oc-
casiUn.
Considerable routine matter was
handled. A number OF communi.
cations we're read and either filed or
the secretary was instructed to answer
them. One was request from a
Denver grocery house for the names
OF shippers OF poultry. butter and eRa&
The secretary was instructed to furn.
ish the same.
In the matter OF the billiard table
for the Chamber rooms, f. P. johnson
reported that he had made a deal with
W. W. Mashburn for the same, also
new cloth to cover 1t.
The promoters OF the proposed
booklet to advertise the Arkansas
valley had a letter asking that the
matter relating particularly to Ord.
way be forwarded at once. The
Chamber has already voted s25 for
this purpose. A committee was ap.
pointed by the president to attend to
this matter.
George Beaver stated that "a prOpo.
sitiOn had been made to him by John
II. Cowden that the water company
owning the springs near Olney Springs
would pipe the water from there to
the city limits and be delivered to the
corporation at the rate OF $l.50 per
l 900 gallons. After a brief discussion
the matter was laid over to the next
Tuesday night.
The matter OF fixing the date for
the Crowley day celebration then
came up and considerable diversity of
opinion as to the proper time for OBJ
serving this event was exhibited.
Some favored postponing the fete un.
til after the first OF September in
order that the visitors might be fed
on the famous Ordway Pink Meat
while others insisted
ahat as the county had its birth about
the first OF August the celebration
should be held somewhere near that
date. In line with this latter con-
tention a preamble and resolution
drafted by l. II. Stanley was intro
1uced and read, as follows:
Whereas. 1t is meet and appropriate
that so important event as the birth
md organization Of a new nation.
state nr municipality should be called
TO mind at regularly recurring times
md commemorated with appropriate
and rejoicing; and
Whereas, The exact date OF the
actual beginning OF the new county of
Crowley Is somewhat In doubt, yet its

Resolved, That this Chamber OF
acting for and In behalf OF
Ill the inhabitants Of the said new
county, hereby declares that In future
,he annual celebration OF Crowley day
hall be held on each recurring eighth
lay Of August OF each succeeding year
