A Narrow Escape

Miss Martha Whittle Of Fowler. who
made her home in Ordway for several
years. had II hairbrcadth escape on
Saturday last. While going to Il neigh
bnr's only few rods from her home
Miss Whittlc was attacked by Il COW
that had become desperate for want Of
food. She was knocked down by the
animal. but managed to crawl under
Il fence, which proved only poor pro-
lection, for the cow came through al
most as soon. Miss Whittle then
crawled back and the COW followed
suit when n passing gentleman came
To the rescue. But for a sprained arm
and several bruises and badly torn
coat and dress, Miss Whittle escaped
uniujured.

Some years ago when Chicago
wanted to add few names to the
city's census the authorities annexed
few farms. This continued until
the city by the lakes had population
OF million and an area OF nearly 200
square miles. Des Moines, Iowa, pur.
sued the same tactics and in 1893 had
u population OF $4,000 and stretched
out over tifty-fOur square miles OF
territory. or course the inal figures
looked all right In the census returns,
but TO one acquainted with the terri
torial distortions at was to laugh"
1t seems to us that Sugar City Is at.
tempting the same stunt. Last Sum
day the Pueblo Chieftain, which Is
erroneously termed metropolitan

Now this said edition consisted OF
some eighty pages and looked all right
from a typographical point. but some
OF its information was about the worst
ever. Under the heading, BABY

appeared an article written by II. f.
Aldrich and purporting to be write
up OF Crowley county. Instead 1t was
simply Il glOrificati0n OF Sugar City In

Mr., Aldrich Is. but we'll bet ten cents
against brick watch that at some
time Ia his career he has been an ad
writer for a circus or some theatrical
enterprise. Among other extravagant
and misleading statements he says:
"Sugar City is the largest city In
Crowley county"
Right there is where sad.eyed Truth
took to the tall and uncut.
Again Mr.. Aldrich says: "The town
is eleven years old and has popula-
lation OF sos as show by the govern
ment census of 1910. although there
are 1000 people In what is usually
known as Sugar City" Sainted mother.

TOWN LOST OUT
Whisky Cases Decided in Favor
of Observation-Disclosures
Held Unconstitutional

In its issue Of November "a the New
Era published Ordinance sS, intended
to supplement Ordinance 80, which
prohibits the keeping, selling or
giving away OF any intoxicating
liquors, and which authorized the
mayor, any town trustee or the town
marshal to enter aud search any pool
hall, bowling alley or similar place and
seize any such liquors found. A coun.
Gil resolution also provides il the pro-
visions OF Ordinance SS are violated by
any place holding license from the
Recently search OF these places
was made, aud the general public Is
familiar with the outcome. AT Mash
burns place half a pint of liquor was
found, while at Shay's the proprietor
was stopped at the back door and two
or more TASKS OF liquor taken from his
person.
The cases came up for trial last Fri
day before Police Judge O'Connell,
the people neing represented by At
torney l. II. Stanley and the defend
ants by Attorney Perry Behymer.
After hearing the testimony and ar.
guments, Judge O'Connell, passing up
all other questions, held that the
federal and state constitutional pro-
visions, which state that "The right
of the people to be secure in their per-
sous, houses, papers and effects against
unreasonable searches aud seizures
shall not be violated" "ctc.. and That
the people shall he secure in their
persons, papers. houses and effects
from unreasonable searches and seiz-
urcs," etc.
Attorney Stanlcy based his argument
upon the contention that anyone TAX
ing out license to conduct such places
as those searched and giving bond to
obey the state aud municipal laws sur
renders his constitutional exemption
from search and seizure and also upon
the fact that the trend OF modern
thought is To the effect that intoxict-
ing liquors are Il constant and grow
ing menace To organized society and
civilization. Attorney Behymer for
the defense rested upon his clients
constitutional rights.
Notice OF appeal to the county court
was given by plaintiff and it is general
believed that this question will not be
settled until IL is adjudicated by d
higher court.

Cattle and Weather

The thaw aud consequent milder
weather Tuesday was hailed with
great satisfaction and relief by the
in this section and by the
general mass OF citizens as we'll. Dur.
ing the past week much OF the live
stock has been driven to points where
it can be fed and watered, but large
number ARD still ont on the open range
and many OF these have succumbed
to the rigors OF the cold snap, while
still others are in bad condition. 1t
is stated by the daily press that the
losses to cattleman throughout this
and other range states will run into
the hundreds OF thousands OF dollars.
The temporary lifting Of the quaran-
tine regulations by the federal govern
ment allowed many of the growers to
ship their stock out OF the state to
markets and TO feeding points and
thus diminished the suffering and loss
This winter has been an extraordinary
one for this portion and we sincerely
trust that 1t will not soon be repeated.
However, the dry farmers are jubilant
over the amount OF moisture that will
accrue to their land from the deep
and long lying snow. so the old saw.

Interesting If True

The following from recent issue
Of the Kansas City Packer will be Of
peculiar interest to a number Of our
farmers:
lowing to increased business and
responsibilities connected with the
Atlantic Fruit Co. OF which he is di-
rector, President w. L. Loetfel Of
Barnett Bros. announces that here.
after the major portion of his time
will be devoted to the banana game.
The business OF Barnett Bros will
be continued. however, but hereafter
only carlots will be handled except to
take care OF old connections and the
interests of their many shippers OF less
than carlots, principally In southern
territory. The jobbing end OF Bar
nett Bros. business to out.of. town
trade. which is said to have earned
better than O,OOO last season, will be
continued also with John LEIGH active
ly In charge.
Leo J. Weisaar, son-in-law Of Mr..
LOefTel, and who Is also secretary of
Barnett Bros. will divide his time be-
tween the carlOt business OF the con.
Germ and helping to relieve Mr.. LoefIel
OF some OF the heavy detail he will en-.
counter.
The International Food Products
Co. lately Incorporated here will be
largely under Mr.. LoetIel's direction.
This concern is owned mostly by peo-
pie interested in the Atlantic Fruit
Co. 1t will put out Il line OF banana
meal. syrup and jam. A desiccatcd
banana slice will also be held handled.
The concern will have quarters for
the time being on the third floor OF
the store building OF Barnett Bros,
but will likely be moved soon to a big
building OF its own.
A part Of the first floor OF the store
Of Barnett Bros. has been sub.lcased
to Shafton & Co., as the plans Of Bar.
nett Bros future business will not re-
quire SO much space in the store trade
as heretofore.
The tirm Of Barnett Bros. Is one of
the oldest on the street. Both OF the
Barnctts whuarc now dead were among
the founders OF the National League
OF Commission Merchants G. W.
Barnett Is credited with writing the
"Objccts and Purposes" Of the organ.
iZation years ago when 1t was first be.
begun among the local trade.
But the present high standing OF the
concern has been due largely to Mr..
LoeiHel's untiring energy and shrewd
business acumen. He is easily one OF
the best scholars In the trade"
