EAGLES SHORT AND
SECRETARY MISSING

Denver, July 20.-The Denver ae-
rie of Eagles is in trouble. The fl
nancial secretary of the local order,
Edward F. Van Gorder. has gone on
a vacation and his accounts and
books are several thousand dollars
short, according to statements made
by lodge officers. The financial en-
barrassment of the lodge has caused
the grand aerie temporarily to sus-
pend their charter causing the mem
bers no end of uneasiness.
According to n. J. Phelan, the
president of the local lodge Mr.. Van
Gorder is with a party of friends up
in the mountains where communica-
tion is impossible and that as soon
as he returns everything will be eX-
planned. As 1t stand now many be-
lieve that the secretary has disap-
peared Intentionally because of the
shortage in his accounts.
The local aerie held their annual
picnic June 80, at South Platte. 1t
was discovered that the profits of the
outing, amounting to several hun
dred dollars, had not been entered
on the books. Meanwhile Van Cord
er was supposed to have gone on his
Vacation.

STOCK KILLED BY
FALLING BRIDGE

Florence. July 2O.-With a crash
that could be heard distinctly for
one mile. the south portion Of the
county bridge at the Soda Springs
crossing gave way yesterday morn
ing about o O'Clock and precipitated
80 head of stock, the property of
Dave Hall of Fountain, into the
swirling Arkansas river Strange as
IL may seem none of the cattle was
drowned, although many are miss
ing. There were 100 head, but only
80 were on the bridge when the ac-
cident occurred. The structure is
one of the Oldest in the county and
accommodates a large amount of
traffic, including the Penrose and
Beaver creek territory, and is on the
main highway of the Rainbow Route
and Santa F'e trail. 1t is said that
the bridge had been declared unsafe
by engineers following an eXamina-
tiOn some time ago.
The county has been figuring on
replacing the bridge with a new steel
structure directly north of the lane
leading past the Soda Springs. This
in all probability will be the outcome
of the accident, and the improve
ment will be welcomed by the tray-
cling public.

MAJOR SAYS PRAIRIE
PUPS ARE EDIBLE
UTES EAT EN-, PROOF

"One thing the people of the west
ern plains have overlooked says
| Major James b. Thompson, assistant
secretary of the board of capitol man
ayers, land that is the fact that prai-
rie dogs are good to eat-just as
good TO eat as a cottontail rabbit.
'lf it wasn't for the fact that a
prairie dog is called a dog it is
likely that they would be on the
Denver market today.
The Ute Indians were fond of
prairie dogs. When | was in charge
of the seven tribes of Utes here in
the early daysI saw many of their
prairie dog feasts. They would To-
cate dog town and bring in severa-
bushels of the marmots. Then they
would gather big bunch of dry sage
brush and throw it over the prairie
dogs and set it afire. They knew
how long it would take to cook the
food, and then they would pull out
the marmots with long stick. The
fire would burn off the hair and then
all the Indian had to do was TO puii
off the skin.
Made into a stew, the prairie cog
is a highly satisfactory dish-haroiy
any difference from a cottontail.
The prairie dog is a clean animal
and there is no reason why he should
not be a staple article OF food
THE story that the rattlesnake,
the owl and the prairie dog frequent
ly live in the same hole in the groune
is partly fiction Rattlesnakes are
the deadly enemies of the prairie
dogs and they kill and swallow the
young ones. Little owls, however,
get into the prairie dog villages and
live there.
at is an interesting sight to watch
the way coyotes catch the prairie
dogs. / have seen it hundreds of
times. The coyotes go in pairs.
When they approach a town one of
them Will put himself very much in
evidence and go through all kinds ID
bluff antics. He will dash at the
prairie dogs and then retreat and
keep this up till most of the dogs
are scared over to one end of the
town.
I'm the meantime the other coyote
sneaks up. He crawls along the
ground an inch at time. The at
tention of the prairie dogs is directed
| to the coyote which is making all
the fuss. Suddenly the coyote wnrcn
is snealing along the ground pounces
upon a bunch of the dogs and gets
half a dozen of them. 1t is a matter
of a snap and the prairie dog is dead.
Then both coyotes get together
and enjoy a feast. 1t is a shame
that the coyotes are hunted off the
plains, because they are most active
in killing prairie dogs. The dogs
are a terrible nuisance to the farmer.
