HEAVY Beet
CROP NEARLY
ALL GATHERED
About Is Per Cent Of Beets aFe
sttn In Gr$and According to
Factory Estimate

With a week of good weather
promised and only fifteen per cent
Of Weld county's enormous beet
crop left In the ground. the beet
growers are feeling better. 1t be-
gins to look as though the whole
crop will be gotten out without any
losses and that the December pay
day will be equal almost to the one
last Friday.
Unusual weather during the har-
vest time has been depressing and
caused much anxiety among the
growers. The estimates at the fac
tory this morning are that only
about one-sixth OF the crop Is yet
to be taken from the ground and
that there is plenty of labor in
sight for the work.
The factories probably will tackle
the piles this week. which for con-
venience were made at points with
in easy hauling distance. In some
parts Of the county the roads are
still in bad condition, but a few
days OF sunshine is expected to put
them in good condition again fol
hauling.

Convict Under 80 Year Sentence
Trusted To Go About UnguaTded

Walsen mine on the evening OF No
yember IS, 1906. They were both
employed in the mine. and Boggess
had been given the place filled by
Harris because of the latter's intem-
perate habits. This angered Harris,
and entering the boarding house he
made straight for Boggess. declar-
ing that he would kill him. Harris
rad a razor in his hand. and before
he could use 1t Boggess pulled his
revolver and shot him dead. There
we're three witnesses to the shoot
ing, but the district attorney refus-
ed to let them testify at the trial In
Boggess behalf. and the attorney
was upheld by the court. Boggesa
further said that he was approach
ed before the trial by one OF the
county officials. who told him that
II he would implicate . Mexican who
had witnessed the shooting In the
crime, he would be let off. This
Boggess refused to do and he In
sists that he was railroaded to
prison. The Mexican who was the
son of a wealthy man, he said. was
an impediment to the officials po-
litical plans. and they wanted him
out Of the way. The jury found him
guilty of murder in the secono de-
gree and he was sentenced to thirty
years in the penitentiary.
Boggess has the record of being
a model prisoner. He has filled the
position of house man for Warden
lyman. and his gentlemanly ways
and intelligence caused his being
called from the road camp to take
the buffers position. He has an ap-
plication before the board of par
dons, and Warden lyman, 1t Is said
will recommend his being paroled.

FUMBLES AT WRONG MOMENT
LOSE GAME FOR GREELEY TEAM

Greeley's goal the visitors carried
it over on straight football. the
heavy backs taking regular turns
at smashing the Greeley line. BY
this time it was evident that Gree
ley would have to resort to strategy
il they expected to get in on the
scoring. Seelinger then began to
try the forward pass. fan forma-
ton, delayed pass and few other
OF the more deceiving plays. After
a little of this work Lodwick man
aged to slip through the Boulder
line and waited for a forward pass.
The ball dropped in his hands-and
then to the ground.
The fourth quarter was. perhaps
as painful session as the local
rooters ever witnessed. Two times
more Lodwick received the ball with
an open field before him but both
times he had the misfortune to
drop 1t.
The defeat can be charged up to
inexperience on Greeley's part
more than to the good playing OF
Boulder. With an old quarterback.
like Dean McCreery or Harry Balch.
and Seelinger playing at end
Greeley would have won the game
hands down.

PRESIDENT MOREY OF GREAT
WESTERN TO PROTEST ANY
REDUCTION - WILL TAKE
PERSONAL CHARGE

President Chester S. Morey Of the
American Beet Sugar company is
planning to go personally to Wash
ington in an endeavor to prevent
the passage OF legislation inimical
to the beet sugar industry by the
next legislature. which will be
Democratic.
Officials of the sugar companies
in Colorado, which produces more
sugar from beets than any other
state, will Join in conducting a
campaign for the education of the
national Legislators. Already sugar
is much cheaper than in several
months, and sold down to 3.6 cents
pound in New York yesterday.
Colorado's beet crop is estimated
to be worth $7.O00.00O to the farm
ers this year. They received their
first disbursement Of about $780,
900 today and there will be q simil-
ar one December Is. The total value
OF the sugar produced will be in the
neighborhood of $2O,00O,OOO, and
this is far In excess Of any crop pro-
duced by any state in the history ol
the industry.

Fumbles at critical moments by
the Greeley high school team gave
the victory to the Boulder Props in
the game played here last Saturday
The score was Z to 0.
Although Greeley was consider
ably lighter and had a list OF dis
abled players that would discourage
most any team they made a good
showing and would have been re-
turned winners quite handily II
good luck had lent them a helping
hand
The first two quarters ended
with honors about even. Boulder
made a few gains on line plunges
and sawed off end runs. while Gree
ley registered a few gains on end
runs and the forward pass. After
getting a start for the goal the
inexperienced quarterback for Gree
ley shattered hopes by attempting a
wide circle OF Boulder's left end,
and the result was Greeley finished
the quarter on the defense. 81.
Earl Seelinger took his place q
quarter at the opening Of the sec

condition handled the team In fine

Mexican are lodged In the county
Jail with warrants sworn out against
them charging them with larceny OF
live stock. they being accused OF
having killed a three year old steer
belonging to Frank Loustallet, who
lives ON a farm near here.
Loustallet went out Sunday
morning to have a look at the steer.
and found only evidences which led
to the belief that 1t had been killed.
He notified the sheriff. who, with
his men. made an investigation and
found wagon tracks which led to
where the steer had, evidently, been
butchered and farther to the river
bank, where the carcass was found.
Then the men who are accused OF
the crime were rounded up and
brought to Greeley last night. A
quantity of meat was recovered.
Schwartz told the sheriff last
night that he had nothing to do
with the killing OF the steer at all.
According to his story. he was out
hunting when he met the others.
who tipped him off to the fact that
they we're going to get some big
game. He told the sheriff that
this did not appeal to him. and that
he refused to go with them. Later,
he said. he met them on their way
back to town and they offered him
a ride, which he accepted and thus
happened to be with them when
they returned.

YION-HELP NEEDED

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Weld County Fail
association will be held Tuesday
November rs. at l o'clock, In the
office Of Secretary w. E. kinsella
ON Ninth street.
At this meeting it is hoped to
reach some plan of strengthening
out the affairs of the association
and arrange for continuance OF
the annual affair on q busin eeslfke
basis.
The last statement OF the finan-
cial affairs of the association shows
that If the money due from the
state could be had. the unpaid stock
subscriptions collected and about
100 more shares of stock subscribed
the association could start on next
wear with a clean slate. The asso-
citation has valuable property IN
buildings and grounds which IS
valuable only so long as the fair
is continued. 1t is greatly deplored
that the association has got behind
after four fine fairs have been given
and it is believed that the worst is
over in that the first few years OF
any fair are the most trying.
The association is anxious to
have the cooperation of the pub
lie. as the annual show is not given
for profit but for educational and
advertising purposes. A little CO.
operation, it is said, will get the as
sociation over the rough spots and
place it on a permanent and busi-
nesslike basis.
