BEETLE
IN HEAD
II YEARS
RAY WOOLLEY, EATON BARBER,
DIGS DEAD BUG OUT OF EAR
WHEN HE FEELS QUEER PAIN
KNEW WHEN 1T WENT IN

Eaton, April 17.-Annoyed by
queer sensation in his right ear yes
terday Ray Woolley, a barber here,
decided that there was foreign
object in it, leaned over, shook his
head violently several times and out
dropped black beetle an inch long
which Woolley says flew into his
ear ~ wears ago The beetle was
of course dead but it's dried body,
wings, etc, were perfectly intact
Woolley says that when he was
boy of Is learning the barber trade
that he distinctly remembers one
warm summer day when walking to
the shop He had almost reached
his destination when like shot the
beetle flew into his ear, causing
him great pain. He hurried into
the shop and picked up some halr
oil which he knew to be harmless
and poured it into his ear. FROM
that time on the pain was renewed
and he thought no more about the
bug, supposing that it finally WORK
ed out of his ear. He says that once
| in a while, however, he experienced
a tickling in his head and now at
! tributes it to the insect. Physicians
saw it is most remarkable that the
beetle did not cause Inflammation
/ and deafness. Woolley has the bug
on exhibition in his shop and viii
preserve it. While ne does not
claim to be the only AAaton man
with "bug in his bonnet ne Is
sure that he is the only one who
has carried one in his Uranium tor
wears and suffered no i'll effects.

COUNTY
LEAGUE
IS SURE
ENTHUSIASTS REPRESENTING
FANS IN ALL TOWNS MEET
AND DECIDE ON PLANS FOR
GOOD BALL THIS SEASON

LaSalle, April 17.-With all of
the towns of the county which pro-
posed to foster the Weld County
Base ball League represented by
enthusiasts at the meeting held in
Judge McKinney's office yesterday
afternoon important steps We're
taken toward forming the league
and r. II. Kirk of Windsor was
elected president and Dick Murray
of Eaton secretary.
Mayor Charles Sells from Fort
Lupton, Lu Birkle and James Coy
kendall from Platteville, DICK Mur-
ray from Eaton, j. Hicks of Johns
town, H. r. Kirk OF Windsor and
Mayor Dave stewart of LaSalle,
with others interested, made up the
committee present which thoroughly
alked over the prospect OF a good
league in the county, the financing
OF it and the order of games, etc.
1t was the conclusion that the time
was ripe for the organization and
lext Tuesday, probably, the COM
mittee will meet in Greeley to per-
feet the organization.
That the lite of the organization
will not wane in few weeks is
evident from the hearty support
which the league will receive from
the towns which will compose it.
Business men, commercial clubs and
town boards of the six towns in the
league will stand sponsors to their
respective mines and the league Will
be operated upon strictly business
lines. There was considerable
discussion yesterday concerning the
advisability of paying certain play
ers. This was not believed to be
the best way and if matters are car
ried out as now planned there VIII
De no paid players in the league.
Each town it is believed will have
enough interest in its team to help
keep up enthusiasm and the players
will play as much for the advertise
ment of their home towns as for
the real enjoyment OF the game. III
is the intention of the men VINO
propose to play ball to put up hrst
class games and those to which the
whole county will turn out. Ihere
Is mighty good stuff for teams IN
each town and the good natureu
rivalry promises to keep interest," az
a fever heat among the rams the
coming summer. The towns "hich
will be represented by teams are
Fort Lupton, Windsor, LaSaile'
Platteville, Johnstown and Eaton;
Already Windsor has subscribed
$3.50 through the generosity OF lts
business men. Some of this money
must go, however, to pay on some
old debts standing against the
Windsor base ball team in its nome
town.

VOLUNTEER FIREMEN'S CHIEF
TURNED DOWN BY COUNCIL:
HALL WATER superintendent
NJ H. Morgan New Alderman From the Third
Ward---Contract is Awarded for New Street
And Alley Crossings Oiled Streets Petition is
Not Presented---Aldermen Have Long and
Busy Session.

The volunteer fire department of
Greeley is orphaned, marooned and
out of a job that it has held for
more than 80 years. At the meet
ing of the council Tuesday night
confirmation of the newly elected
chief of the volunteers was refus-
ed, the council sticking TO its action
of two weeks ago when George
Nenables, driver of the auto truck,
was put in charge of the depart
ment.
The volunteers were represented
by Emil B. Hatch, George Dauth
and George Davis, who urged that
the volunteers be placed on the
same footing that they had always
had with the city. The matter was
discussed at length and the discus
sion became warm at times Charles
W. Beer, the newly elected chief,
told of his ideas of running the de-
partment and the system that would
be inaugurated for fire fighting.
The final ballot on the rejection of
the volunteers officers was four to
two.
Alderman Martin believed that
there might be solution of the
yeXed problem in having a new
ordinance that should cover the
conditions as they exist now. The
present ordinance is old and was
adopted before Greeley was con-
fronted with the problems that face
it today. He will have one drawn
and introduce it in the council at
the meeting next Tuesday night,

TRAGIC DEATH
OF ERIE. LAD

Erie, April 1.-THE body of
Arthur Butcher, the Erie young
man who met tragic death in the
mines of Victor yesterday, was
brought here last night for burial.
Having lived in this community for
years, teaching in the public schools
until few years ago, the death OF
the estimable man of 80 years has
thrown shadow over the com
munity.
He and others set off shots in
mine at Victor and while waiting
for the explosion Mr.. Butcher re-
tired into a corner Of the mine.
There was much gas generated by
the explosion. which overcame all,
particularly the Erie man. He was
able to make his way home but
died from the effects of breathing
the gas. Mr.. Butcher was gradu-
ate of the State Teachers college
at Greeley, where he lived for sew
eral years while going to school.

George Briggs, the merchant here,
a few days ago to Rev. Frank De

unique base ball games ever to be
PLAYED by LaSalle business men.
The captains of the rival teams

Briggs friends say he must play

minister are inclined to put him
