ORGANIZATION OF FIRE.
MONT COUNTY PROTECTIVE
ASS0CIATIuM COMPLETED

The directors of the Fremont Coun-
ty Protective association desire to an
nounce to the public that the organi-
zation of this association has been
completed and is now ready to write
insurance on ranch and farm proper
ty, also on detached property in towns
where the distance from other risks
is such as to comply with the bylaws
OF the association. The purpose OF this
organization is TO write Insurance at
as nearly actual cost as 1t is possible
to do consistent with good business
principles. There are no high saiaried
officials or agents TO support; no lux
uriously appointed offices to main
tain and no dividends TO enrich the
already bioated bondhoider. Reduced
to a nutshell It means that II any one
who holds policy In this association
is unfortunate enough to have his
property destroyed or damaged by FIRE
or lightning. his associates help him
bear his loss by pro rata assessment
on the amount OF insurance that each
one carries to the loss.
Organizations OF this character
have long since passed the expert
mental stage and are being so gen.
orally operated in the middle and
northern states that comment IS
scarcely necessary as to their sue
cess.
The reports to the state insurance
commissioner OF Illinois show that
as early as lS7s-i-5 that numbers pf
them we're organized and are stlii do
ing business.
At Ottawa n company was orga-
nized a little over six years and are
now writing over six millions OF In
surance
Is there any good reason why the
farmers. fruitgrowers and ranchmen
of Fremont county should continue to
pay the high rates for protection from
loss or damage to their property by
FIRE or lightning that the Board Of
Underwriters OF the state OF Colorado
see ht to impose upon them? We fail
to see any good or Just reason for II.
or course they want to pay large div
idends to the stockholders of the va
rious companies and II we are gumps
enough to sit still and let them con-
tlnue to bleed US we are surely 70
blame, when we have the power IN
our own hands to prevent It. We have
no quarrel with the local agents OF
these companies. They are not re-
sponsible for the existing conditions.
They are under obligations to charge

Francisco Cascio, two Sicilian coal
miners, were murdered by unknown
parties between ten and eleven o'clock
Wednesday night while on their way
home to Rockvale from the Fremont,
or Bear Gulch mine, where they had
quit work half an hour before Both
men were shot in the back of The
head with a Winchester rifle and ap-
pear to have died instantly. The mo-
tive that prompted the crime is not
known, but is believed to have been
done at the behest of the Italian
Black Hand society.
Slain on Public Highway.
The Fremont mine Is located about
q mile from Rockvale and the two are
connected by good road, which the
-ill-fated men were traversing with
thsir empty dinner buckets when
assassinated. At the top of a hill,
nearly, midway between the town and
the mine. the road divides and It was
at this point that the Cascio brothers
were killed by the assassins lying in
wait for them.
Killed after Separation.
Francisco Cascio boarded in Rock
vale and Bartolo lived in cabin oy
himself short distance beyond the
borders OF the village and they sep
arated at the crest of the hill in going
to their respective places of residence.
Their murderers were evidently
aware OF that fact and secreted them
selves at the junction of the two high
ways where an exceptional opportun-
sity would be presented for the COM
mission of the crime.
Crime Discovered at 3 n. IN.
The body of Francisco was found
about O'Clock this morning on the
main road between Rockvale and the
mine by some men while on their
way to work and they reported the
matter to the local authorities, who
at once began an investigation. 1t
was learned by inquiry among the
men at the mine that Bartolo was al
SO missing and a search resulted IN
the discovery of his body lying in the
snow on the branch road forty or fifty
feet from his dead brother.
Sheriff Goes to Scene.
The sheriff's office here was noti-
fed at o'clock this morning and
three quarters of an hour later Sher-
in Esser and Under Sheriff Henry
White were at the scene Of the mur-
City to Rockvale in something like
twenty-five minutes. After hurried
investigation OF the killing they turn
ed the bodies over to Coroner Steven
son. who took them to Florence where
an inquestion was held later in the
day.
Heard Shots Fired.
People living in the neighborhood
OF Rockvale reported to the officers
this morning that they heard ter
shots fred about the time the Cascio
brothers were killed. but attached M
special significance to 1t as such
things were not uncommon at night

Expert Gives Advice
On Care of Tires

E. H. Johansen, Washington represen-
tative OF the United States Tire Com
pany, gives the following hints for the
care of tires:
Tires should be kept well inflated.
Allowance must be made for expansion
of air in the tube when heated on hot
days by fast driving.
Caution must also be taken after show
ers to see that contraction does not
leave your shoe too nat.
Brakes and clutch should be applied
gradually, as to neglect this Is the
greatest misuse that tires can be sub
Jected to.
Oils and greases should be kept Off
tires. as they will dissolve rubber in a
short time.
Water must be kept away from fabric
in tires. Wheels should be kept true.
Compressed air or gas blows out many
tires. The expansion of air or gas in
your tube absorbs the heat units and, in
the absence of heat, becomes cold, and
while the gas is cold 1t Is not expanded
and when you run some little distance
and 1t gets warmed up the regular ex-
pansion takes place and your tire has
to blow out.
To preserve tires clean them thorough
ly with soap and water. Procure a little
cream from your milkman and paint
same over. This Is the best preservative
that is easy of access.

STOCKS WERE SLOW AND EASIER
BUT LOSSES WERE LIMITED
TO FRACTIONS.

NEW YORK, July 2o.--Traders were
willing TO hold 'aloof from the market
on the closing session of the week.
Advances have been In order and the
profits tempted some traders to get
out, which, with the indifference Of
the speculative element to the course
of the trade this morning, caused
modest recessions throughout the list.
Many operators were absent fro the
week end In the country. There was
nothing in the news of the day fur
nishing sufficient incentive to awaken
an Indifferent group into activity. The
lull may be taken in the nature of
a breathing spell after some strenu-
Gus work. The chief topic of dis
cussion is not politics, money or legis-
lationI the Stanley report is waited
with interest, but where few are In

thing Of minor import as market

Proposed Motordrome
Has Big Future

Lord Montagu, an English nobleman.
who has been visiting automobile CEN
ters In this country for the past eight
or ten weeks, predicts successful fu-
ture for the two-mile motordrome to be
erected near Newark, N. j., within the
next few months. He called attention
70 the fact that the great motordrome
at Brooklands. England, which Is quite
inaccessible, as compared to the pro-
posed motordrome near New York, has
seen more than one crowd Of 80 900 peo-
pie at its meets. The BroC Cklands course
is twenty-six miles from London and
reached by but one railroad, whereas
the metropolitan speedway will be ac-
cessible by no legs than four transporta-
tion lines.
Racing. Lord Montagu thought,
showed no signs of losing its hold on
the public either here or abroad, and
the interest on the part of manufactur-
ers seemed to be on the increase. Judg-
ing from the many conversations he
had with American makers. Aside from
its sporting features, Lord Montagu de-
clared that the new speedway would
offer an ideal proving ground" for our
cars.

COURTS DECISION
Of MUCH INTEREST
TO ALL MOTORISTS
Ruling on Thank You
Mans" Test Case Is
Sweeping Victory.

Motorists in all sections OF the coun-
try are intensely interested in a recent
decision Of the supreme court Of Penn
sylvania to the effect that townships,
municipalities. and counties maintaining
water-bars or "thank-you-mams" In
public highways, are responsible for
damages to motorists or their cars,
caused by contact with these unneces-
sary Instructions.
This Is a sweeping victory for motor
lists, as 1t is believed there is not the
slightest doubt about other States. as
well as United states courts, sustaining
the Pennsylvania decision.
The Touring Club of America has been
urging test case such as has just been
decided In the keystone State. and the
club now proposes that an action should
be brought against the toll road COM
panies In New England with view to
showing that II In accordance with the
precedent established by the courts re-
garding water-bars in public highways,
the local governments can be held for
damages, 1t Is also true that companies
operating toll roads can likewise be
held for damages caused to cars and
motorists through water-bars on these
private roads.
A test case, such as the club has sug-
gested, would also apply to the famous
road over Peru mountain, on the Ideal
Tour, between Manchester and Chester,
VT. The same action will apply to own
ers Of large estates who have, through
influence. closed public roads and open
ed In return for the privilege. roads
through their property. at the same time
attempting to prevent fast driving by
introducing dangerous water-bars.
Along the same line the club hopes to
meet with success for the motor tourists
in the elimination Of what might be

ings. This work was begun last year
through the clubs Berkshire Hills
