every effort of mine to prevent them
doing So"

AuLT MARRIED

BASKET BALL
The Girls Besst Them, But Hubbies.
and Everybody Had all Kinds

Ault, Jan. 29.-Springing sur
prise on their husbands and brothers
company of Ault ladies called q
game of basket ball at the armory
last Saturday afternoon and showed
that good fans make good players.
The game was between the Ault
married nine and the Ault girls and
the latter showed themselves the
champions. For some time indoor
base ball has proven a drawing card
at Ault and every man in the town
has been listed in the league. Rather
tired of being mere onlookers the
women organized and will have
league. Saturday afternoon the
ladies played in long skirts but 1t
will be put to a vote of the club II
these shall be retained OF replaced
by regulation bloomers. Any way
the ladies will continue their games
with spectators limited to the "fe-
male of the species.

would have been appreciated by the
audience, which gave the favorite
singer an ovation.
Miss Lucy Delbridge, concert
master of the orchestra. was the
other soloist of the day and was
heartily received. A trio ior violin,
cello and piano was the only other
number aside from the orchestra
selections. The concert numbers
we're we'll done, showing that the
organization is becoming more Ell
ficient with each appearance.
Numerous requests have come to
the officers of the orchestra to hold
the concerts in the Sterling theater
and there has been criticism because
change has not been announced.
The public does not seem to con-
slider that the larger theaters are
expensive, and II they had to be
paid tor by the orchestra. would
leave no money with which to buy
music. If there are any so inter-
ested in those concerts that they
will provide fund for larger
hall. the orhcestra will be glad to
consider the proposition. The price
Of ten cents will remain the same
in spite OF the evident popularity
of the recitals. 1t can be readily
seen that the receipts at ten cents
. head will not stand much OF
drain for paying theater rent, ush-
era, tickets and buying music for
large orchestra with many extra
parts. The aim OF the orchestra Is
to reach az large a number OF peo-
pie as possible with as small ex-
pense as possible to the people.
1t has been decided not to sell
any tickets at the stores and use
the theater box office only. since
there are no reserved seats in the
theater.

COAL DEALERS

over PRICES
Evans Men Follow Argument With
Real Scrap-BOth Then Get
Small Fine in Court

Evans, Jan. 27.-Ill feeling
which is said to have existed be-
tween the managers of rival coal
mines southeast of here over the
cut in the price of coal came to a
climax last night when Theo Wal
bridge and Will Bedlin came to
blows in the Behren store last night
and were hailed into police court
before w. H. Berry
The men met in the store and an
argument arose between them as to
whom was responsible for the cut
from $3.50 to $500 a ton in coal
from the mines and to settle the
question blows were exchanged.
The fisticuff promised to become
serious one when friends inter
fered and the men marched to the
police court There 1t appeared
there were no witnesses to the
quarrel but it was acknowledged
that the calling of names OF an
impolite nature brought the first
blow. Berry fined each man IS
and costs then decided to remit the
tines and both walked away; not
together, however. for friends saw
that one started home mile in
the lead.
Bedlin owns the coal mine of
that name The shaft of his mine
burned while he was away last
summer and Bedlin does not at
tribute the fire to accident. Wal
bridge leases the White coal mine
n short distance away.

JUSTICE HAS
A WARM Time

Evans, Jan. 26.-With both the
complaining witness and the de-
fendant women and with half a
dozen other women witnesses,
Judge Tregonning's court yester-
day is said to have furnished en-
tertainment for those assembled as
the judge found 1t hard to keep
matters within bounds and several
times called the court to order and
threatened to fine the witnesses for
contempt of court when they per-
sisted in interrupting the proceed
ings.
The matter concerned the eject
ment Of the Thillman family from
the house of Mrs. Lambert and the
outcome was that the judge gave
the Thillmans just As hours to
leave the dwelling. Being a very
tender hearted as we'll as a just
officer OF the law Judge Thegon-
ming alleviated the needs OF the
Thillmans by giving them the

TEACHERS
KEPT ON
THE MOVE

Avalo, Jan, 26.-Out on the
plains 80 miles from Greeley,
where Avalo is the post office,
school teaching is not the monot-
onous thing it is sometimes said to
be in the city or town, for a new
method, born OF necessity, has been
inaugurated which keeps five teach
ers circulating through the district
In order to teach ten different
schools in nine months.
The plan has been dubbed the
Tandem method and the Misses
Lee Pattee, Faymie Slocum, Mar
garet Allen. Wealthea Cox and
Mary Dillon testify to it's merits
and the variety of the work Offer
ed by it. District No. 93 is a
whopping big one with few people
and little school fund on hand.
But if the folks out there are short
on quantity they make mp in quail
| ity and determination that their
children should have schooling at
least part of the year. In order to
give each neighborhood school
privileges they arranged that the
| tive teachers of the district should
go from school to school teaching
six weeks in each school house. In
this way there is school in OF
near each locality all the time and
each neighborhood at the end OF
the school year will have beer
equally favored.
The teachers say that the NOV.
ing about has not been unpleasan,
and that it really has added a GER
tain spice to the school teachine
out on the lonely plains where the
open range, undotted by farm
houses, spreads for miles but where
the school house is the center O
the social life of communit,
bound closely together in a way o
which the more prosperous places
little know.

COAL AT
COST IS
OFFERED

The first proffer of aid for the
homesteaders who are suffering for
fuel came Saturday morning from
j. Smith Johnson, coal dealer in
the southern part of the city, who
already has donated generously of
his wares right here at home.
Mr.. Johnson says that he will de-
liver a car OF mine run coal at
Num- for $3.50 ton, which is "a
little less than cost. if the citizens.
will raise the money The car will
come to something more than SO
at this rate, as there is upwards of
80 tons to the car. This price in
cludes the freight and If the Union
Pacific will make special rate on
this car it will come cheaper.
Recently number of ladies in
Greeley provided quantity of
clothing, etc, for those in need and
then it was learned that the recent
cold weather had been severe
drain upon the fuel of some OF the
homesteaders. In some instances
it was reported that fence posts,
good lumber and boards from out
buildings had been burned in their
efforts to keep warm. The women
did not solicit the business men to
help them but suggested later that
I if the men wanted to help the best
thing they could do would be to
send coal where it was most need
ed.
