DRINK VICTIM

coal miner. committed suicide here
Saturday afternoon by swallowing a
large quantity of laudanum shortly
after noon when he retired to a
room over a saloon where he had

GREELEY HIGH IS WAlLOPED
48 TO 0 BY NORMAL eleven

The Greeley high school received
one of the worst beatings In the his
tory of football at the school in the
annual game with the College high
team Saturday afternoon. The
score OF AS to 0 tells the tale.
The College high team completely
outclassed their opponents in all
departments of the game. They
tore through the line at will. circled
ends and worked the forward pass
and when a punt was made the line
stood like wall. On the other
hand the Greeley high team was
unable to bulge the line or gain at
the ends and the forward pass was
useless and when a kick was at
tempted it was generally blocked.
Greeley kicked off and the hill
team carried the ball over for the
first touchdown in four and half
minutes on straight football. the
backs averaging ten yards to the
play. In three minutes more they
rcneated for another touchdown.
The College team scored "a points
before they were held for downs.
Greeley was on the defense most
of the time and only made their
downs few times and at no dme
threatened the College goal.

A program exclusively instru-
mental was given yesterday after
noon by the Philharmonic orchestra
at Its second concert of the season
at the Orpheum theater. The occa-
sion is the first when there was not
vocal soloist. The omission was
not Intentional and the large audi
ence did not seem to resent the de-
parture from the usual, for the ap-
probation was marked throughout.
A cello solo and trio for violin,
cello and piano were the only num-
bers not by the full orchestra. Mrs.
r. p. Matthews kindly assisted at
the piano in the trio and accompa-
MED the soloist, Mr.. Rathbun.
The next concert will be given

There Will be a vocal soloist and in
addition to having singer there
VIII be number or two out of the
ordinary run of concert work. There
are in course of preparation string
quartettes, horn quartettes, trios,
duos, and solos by various members
of the orchestra that will be heard
in the near future. 1t is the inten-
tion of Director j. c. Kendel to
make the programs as broad in
scope as the Instrumentation will
allow. New music is being purchas-
ed constantly so that a wide variety
may be looked for by patrons of the

Appreciation of the citizens gen.
orally of the good work being done
by the 80 state convicts ON the
county road west of Greeley was
shown when twelve auto loads of
residents visited the camp yester-
day afternoon taking with them 80
pounds of turkey, with all the nee
essary trimmings for first class
Thanksgiving feed.
Nearly three pounds of turkey
per man will be on the bill of fare
next Thursday and it all arrived in
time to be cooked by the special
chef of the camp, who is rotund
negro whose middle name is said to
be turkey and whose time expires
next Saturday.
The visit w..s interesting to those
who did not realize what was being
done. There are four miles of fine
road made. A start was made on
the west county line and it is the
intention to continue the work clear
through the county to the east line.
This will give the county a finished
boulevard from east to west.
Deputy Warden w. S. Warren re-
ceived the visitors and made them
at home at once. He expressed the
appreciation of the men for the
fine dinner brought and showed the
party through the camp, which ID

That 10 10 more blessed to give

that impressed one upon stepping
into room 16 At the Greeley high
school Friday afternoon when the
committees were busy filling the
baskets and boxes from the Thanks

taken to the homes OF the unfortu-
nate In and around Greeley.
The faces of the workers shone
with happiness as they hurried
about the room finding Just the ar
ticles needed for each particular
case.
That the donations were grateful
ly received and heartily appreciated
is unquestioned but the greatest
blessing from the plan has undoubt-
edly come to the students in real
zing the joy of unselfish service
and the cultivation of true
Thanksgiving spirit.
Since the inauguration of the
Thanksgiving offering by the pupils
OF the high school eight years ago,
by Miss Lee. the idea has grown un-
til every grade is now included.
The work was systematized and
carried out wonderfully we'll. From
the minister's of the town, Salvation
Army and Associated Relief. Miss
Lee has secured the names of needy
families. There was a tag made
out for each family with the name,
address, number of children with
their ages, what particular garments
or articles were needed and wheth-
er or not there was illness in the
family.
The committee of high school
students then filled the baskets
from the tags. Into each was plac-
ed potatoes. apples, onions, cabbage,
squash. canned fruit, pickles. jelly
and groceries.
Where there were babies in the
home. milk tickets and crackers
were added. If there was sickness
additional jellies and dainty pre-
serves were placed in the basket,
Each basket or box was inspected
by Miss Lee or Miss Van Dyne be-

PEARCE WANTS
A BETTER LAW
FOR ELECTIONS
Returns are too Slow and not Accu-
rate Under the System now
in Use in State

That official election returns can
be tabulated and the correct results
be made public Immediately after an
election, Secretary of State Pearce
will ask the assembly to pass bill
making it compulsory for every
precinct election judge to report
direct to the secretary of state with
in twenty-four hours after the count
in his precinct is finished.
This will eliminate the wildcat
ting of election returns, as is Gus
tomary now" said the secretary.
Under the present system it ia
impossible to get the returns until
the state canvassing board actually
finishes its work and reports. Under
the present system returns are in
eo:urh e.
False reports are scattered
broadcast. OF course, each county
clerk is supposed to send me copy
with the official returns, but this is
not compulsory, and while l have
received the official returns from
forty-two counties l have received
unofficial returns which are the
s"ples, from only thirty-two cour
ties"
THE official returns cannot be

Charles Howard, an old-time COW
puncher, took part in the hunt for
the first time this year; but despite
his knowledge OF the out-of-doors,
he did not do well as Il huntsman, as
evidenced by the fact that he got
nothing more than one prairie dog,
the bagging OF which cost him 81,
as that was the amount which the
days hunt cost him. 1t is said that
he became hungry in the course of
the day and applied at ranch house

future time, as he had left his purse
