will have happiness when we have
homes in America. If man just
goes to his house to eat drink and
sleep he has no home. On the other
hand the humblest man here may
not even own the ground upon
which the little cottage is standing,
he may have but the bare necessi-
ties of life, but II he leaves that lit
tie place OF abode with light foot
step to perform his daily tasks and
returns in the evening to all that is
life and love for him, that man has
home. Any man in Greeley here
would die for his home, but is there
anybody here who would die in de-
fense of his boarding house?
1T used to be pretty tough on
me dear friends when my mother
on Sunday mornings would sit me
down at her feet and say: Thomas,
what is the chief end of man." And
we went from the chief end of man.
I don't know where We went We
went long ways. And yet there is
no flower OF poesy, there is no drop
of living blood that l would not lay
as tribute of love and alteration
and devotion upon the sacred sod
where rests the ashes of my mother.
Need Old Fashioned Homelxeepers
I'VE need more old fashioned
home keepers in America. We can
not have them with the economic
conditions that exist today And
brothers and sisters. If gaunt pow
erty and chilly penury stare them in
the face, housed in miserable tene-
ment houses where disease and pes
thence oftimes turks, you are not fit
to be Americans if you will not
help to lift these burdens from their
shoulders and let them stand erect
beneath the flag as self-respecting
men and women" Applause.

ARE AGAINST
TUNNEL BILL

Pueblo. Oct. 21.-The directors
of the Pueblo Commerce club and
the city and county commissioners
at a special meeting indorsed the
action taken by a number of promi-
nent business men in Pueblo to or
ganize an association to fight the
Moffat tunnel bill and adopted a
resolution to do anything and every
thing in their power to defeat the
passage OF the proposed amenument
at the general election November 8.
1t was decided to call a mass
meeting of the residents of the city,
as soon as a suitable hall can be
found, in order that the bill may
be explained and its bad features
pointed out more emphatically. 1t
has been said that the bill has abb
solutely no good features, except
where the people of Denver are con-

INDIANS ARE
BEATEN AGAIN

Eaton, Oct. 21.-In the fiercest
gridiron struggle seen in Cheyenne
in recent years, the Eaton football
team defeated that of the Cheyenne
high school Saturday afternoon by a
score of Z to 0.
When the Cheyenne team played
at Eaton some weeks ago the Eaton
team walked all over them, and
there was considerable surprise Sat-
urday when the Cheyenne team
held the Coloradoans even
through the early stages of the game
Saturday. 1t was only by desperate
playing and greater endurance and
experience that the Eaton team se-
cured the winning points in the last
period of the game.
A large crowd was on hand to see
the game and some lively roofing
was heard.
The Greeley tribune., 1912-10-24

The office of county judge is
really more important than that OF
district judge or any other county
office. The county judge has sole
and exclusive jurisdiction of all the
property and estates of deceased
persons. He appoints all guardians
of minors and conservants of insane
persons and has charge of their es-
tates. The county judge is sole
judge of the juvenile court, that
deals with youthful offenders of the
law and in addition to these the
county judge has jurisdiction in
misdemeanor and in all civil actions
extensive with the district court
up to $4,000.
For this important office the
democratic party presents Herbert
NJ. Baker, that splendid, brilliant
lawyer of Greeley known to almost
everyone in Weld county. He was
educated in the Greeley schools and
is graduate of the law department
of the Denver University. For years
Herbert" as he is known. was
deputy clerk of the district court
and in that capacity he became es-
pecially familiar with all court
trials and procedure. For several
years he has actively practiced law
as a member of that we'll known
law firm of Carpenter & Baker. He
is progressive democrat and is one
of the coming leaders of democracy
in Colorado.
If elected county Judge he will
ably and honestly fill that import
ant office and honor his party and
friends.

MURRAY MURDER CASE
Herman Schultz Is Charged with the
Murder OF the Late Murray

A Rugby dispatch to the
Grand Forks Herald under date
of January 20 has the follow
ing: Circumstantial evidence
will be used by the prosecution
in seeking to bring about the
conviction of Herman Schultz
for the murder of William Muir
ray in construction camp in
this county maintained by
Guthrie & Co.. of St. Paul.
The county officials returned
from the scene of the crime to-
day and they will present next
Tuesday when Schultz's. hear
ing takes place, evidence to the
effect that Schultz was out un-
til daylight on the night of the
murder, and that it was the
only night in the month, or
since he came to the camp, that
he was out in that manner. ~,.
Papers have also been found
in Schultz's room supposedly
taken from Murray's body, but
money, which was the object
of the murder, has not been
found. The state will also
show that Schultz and Murray
had previously had trouble
over money matters, and that
Murray was in the habit of
carrying large sums with him.
Murray's body was found at
the Antelope hill cut on the
Surrey line, and the coroner's
jury found that death was
caused by blow from blunt
instrument. A pickaxe found
near by is supposed to have
been used as the weapon.

nc "CCI1u& Cdllcu NY V1I.
f. w. Cathro, one of the dir
ectors of the Better Farming e
association of North Dakota,
took place on Tuesday and was
success in the largest sense
of the word. 1t is believed by
those who took great interest
in having the meeting and waa
stated by many of those in att
tendance that the meeting was
certain to inanRurate q snew
order of things in the history
of Bottineau county; that the
adoption Of the plan proposed
by the association will lead to
the highest development of the
resources of the county and
add much to the prosperity of
its people.
The attendance was large and
what was betterthan mere num-
bers, it was representative.
Every township in the county
was represented by one or
more men. Every city, town
and village had it's delegation
here and so it may be said that
the sentiments expressed at
the meeting truthfully voiced
the sentiment of the entire
county. In many cases town
ship meetings had been held
and delegates selected to rep
resent the township. to speak
for it and to bring back a
report to be given at later
township meeting.
Just after the arrival of the
train from the west the meet
ing was called to order in the
court room at the court house.
Mr.. F. w. Cathro was chair
man. j. F. Haskett was APP
pointed secretary and Messrs.
r. C. Falkenstein, Matt John
son, A. 7. Drake and r. T..
Wood as assistants.
Mr.. Cathro made the opening
address in which he gave facts
and figures regarding Bottin-
eau county, the amount of till
able land. the number Of acres
under cultivation, the number
of acres in forest, the number
devoted to roadways, etc. After
briefly referring to the nature
of the movement for better
farming and stating that if
B0ttineau county took up the
work it would be necessary to
raise So, 500 he stated that if
one farmer in the county out
Of every forty should increase
his yield one bushel per acre
1T would mean 18, 600 bushels
or elk times as much as would
be required to promote this
movement. He also said that
if each Of the II 800 inhab tants
of this county were to pay one
dollar they would have a fund
esix times larger than was need
ed for this purpose or in othel
words that sixteen cents each
would raise the fund required
