He must see to all arrangements

WONDER WHERE THEY'RE AT
Progressives Hold n Meeting IL
Pueblo on Monday

The following excerpts of progressive
meeting in Pueblo on Monday evenin.
are taken from the Chieftain:
ayes. we will'-no. we won't-weil.
where are we at, anyway"
That sums up the condition Of affairs
at meeting Of the Progressive Republi-
cans of Pueblo staged last evening. at
which so we're present to hear Phil
Stewart. of Colorado Springs. candidate
for governor on many tickets, and Merle
D. Vincent, of Paonia, erratio candidate
for a seat in the United States senate
With such small attendance it should
have been easy for those present 10 ar
r1ve at almost any conclusion, but as it
was, they didn't know where they were
going nor how they were going to get
there, SO naturally. some difficulties were
encountered.
Finally, after the meeting had dragged
through several hours. during which time
Woodrow Wilson had been most favor
ably mentioned by the men who declared
themselves to be better Republicans than
those who make up the maiorty Of the
party, it was decided, through the failure
of anyone to vote against it, to keep away
from the Republican county assemblies.
Mr.. Vincent outlined for the edification
of his handful of hearers what it is pro-
posed to do, although he could not get his
meaning over the boards clearly, and
there were many questions asked. When
the meeting was over doubt was in the
minds of some who were more up in the
air than ever. All they knew was that
they had been invited to get out and fight
something and warned that they mad
every chance in the world Of getting a
beating in more ways than one.
Mr.. Vincent was endorsed as United
States senator and it was decided furth-
ermore to urge him to make the race.
The progressves suggested that he go
after the long term because they consid-
er he had the goat Of Senator Simon
GuggenheiEl. and il was thought by DR..
Barbour. Of Rocky Ford. that il would be
poetic for MIR. Vincent to succeed the
man he was bold enough to attack. 1t
was intmated that this would be an aw-
fu blow to Colorado's only representa-
! tive in the United States senate"

By Rocky Ford in First Meeting of

game Rocky Ford defeated Ordway last
Sunday by a score of 1916. In the early
innings Ordway had all the best Of the
argument. Two bad errors on the part
Of the home boys. coupled with brace of
safe drives. almost put the game on ice
for the visitors, the score at one time
standing 6-l against US. But our boys
we're not to be denied. They took hitch

slamming the sphere with yiciousness

Rosson from the box. Debenham. south
paw, replacing him. He proved no more
Of a puzzle than Rosson had, our boys
annexing two runs in each inning that he
pitched. resulting in final score of lo-6
in favor of Rocky Ford.
The features of the game were the
pitching of Bernard, the hitting and field
ing Of Maxwell and Goblin for the home
team and the brilliant one hand stop of
Eddie Smith of Ordway cutting off hit.

SHOT HIMSELF
Former Resident of Rocky Ford
Attempts Suicide at His Home
In Missouri

The receipt of a telegram by Miss
Blanche lngraham on Monday morning
brought the startling news that her faith.
er, H. M. lngraham, had been shot a
| short time before, and in response to the
| urgency of the call, she left upon the
| first train for the family home at Purdy,
Mo.
kilograms requesting further particu-
lars were sent to different parties by
anxious friends in this city. and the only
| response received up to late hour yes
terday was by the Peoples Home Bank.
which received the following dispatches
from the First National Bank of Purdy,
Mo.
"H. M. Ingraham shot himself in head
with suicidal intent. Not expected to
live. No reason assigned"
''Ingraham alive at today. No hope.
StilLunoonscious."
To his Rocky Ford friends, who knew
him well through his several years resi-
dence in this city, it is a mystery why
Henry NJ. lngraham should attempt to
take his own life. as at the time of his
departure only a couple of weeks ago, he
appeared to be in his usual good spirits
and was anticipating pleasant life in the
oren on the large thoroughbred stock
farm acquired by him near Purdy, Mo-,
about SIX months ago. So far as is
known he had no financial troubles. and
his domestic and family relations have at
all times been pleasant. and no reason
can be advanced by anyone why he
should attempt this rash act.
