Fort Morgan Banker Dies.

M. l.. Moore, 81 years old president
of the Margan County Bank was suf-
focated last Saturday in a fire which
destroyed the residence of his son-in-
law J. H, Roediger.
Incendiarism is supected and both
city and County officials are doing
their utmost to locate the criminals.
1t is only few months ago that the
same residence was discovered on fire
and was saved only after considerable
loss.
A few years ago the Morgan County
Bank and Roediger who was cashier of
the bank endeavored to float a bond
issue on an irrigation project located
in Morgan Comfy. The project
turned out disastrously and Roediger
has had to defend many suits on account
of this and other similar enterprises
and it is believed that his enimies fired
the house and that Moore was the vic
TEN Cf vengeance directed against
Roediger who with his family excaped
from the burning building.

Misdirected Skill

We are great people for locking
up the stable door after the horse has
passed to some unknown owner down
the pike. We undertake to break up
the trusts after the trust get to the
point where they can't be broken.
In our trials to-day we try men on
charges of which they never could be
convicted. We punish men severely
after they have committed the mis-.
chief. We select jurors whom we
know will misdirect justice because it
might cost them cent, We allow
entertainments and shows to be held
in buildings contrary to our fire
ordinances and we. inforce the ordin-
ance after a fire has taken place. We
fight fires more skillfully than any
other peopls in the world and wep re-
vent them less skilifully.

A True Story

Once upon time, stories always
start that way, father and his son
set out upon journey. the new car
had not arrived and for experience the
old car was brought into service. Now
Betsy, we mean the old car. had seen
many nights and days of service: she
had been on missions of love, business
and politics; she had seen dark nights,
rongh roads and cold Weather; she had
experienced good drivers and bad. men
who only thought of gettin back home
as soon as possible and men who felt
thot every throb of ner engine was
like human heart beat, and through
it all she had been a ''perfecl loidy"
The journey was begun but Betsy
was not to blame becouse she had been
left out in the cold and that her radia-
tor leaked. but water she must have
and because milk can was borrowed
of farmer, filled with water and at
with water. although it did prolong
the journey, was no fault of hers She
was not to blame because the County
Commissioners had allowed the roads
to become rutty and that in some cases
these ruts We're filled with snow max
ing the guiding of the car difficult.
Neither was she to blame because in
trying to avoid the ruts her steering
gear was turned this way and that un-
til in utter desperation as to owhat was
wanted of her she firmly planted her
self across the road and stopped. She
did the best she knew how and any
way she had her self respect left anc
it was embarrassing, to say the least
to realizs that she was out of date,
that her varnish had become dull that
her brass work was tarnished, that
her top ratified and that she was being
used a substitute for that bran new
1913 Model that was even then hurry

A Good Proposition.

The letter which we publish here.
with is mighty good proposition and
the matter has been turned over to
the Secretary of the Fair Association
to look after.
Lily 4. Labaree,
Clerk Sedgwick County

Dear Sir
1t is the intention OF the
City and County of Denver to have
moving pictures and concerts during
the winter months at the Auditorium,
Between eight and ten thousand people
attend these concerts every Sunday
dents of other states.
The Mayor has suggested that it
would be a good plan to advertise
Colorado with the moving picture
shows: cons cquently he has requested
me too write to the various towns and
cities throughout the State.
II ~ N'hIi p' i'cSo'pi' N'uit p' IjlttlS-
ed to receive negatives and views from
you of various pictures of your county,
and also views of any towns: or of
anything else that would be of interest
and help advertise your section of the
state. 1t might be well also, to print
on negative, a small statement of
the resources of your county or city,
or any other information that YOU
think would be well for the outside
world to know, and we will have it
thrown upon canvass by stereop-
tican.
believe in this way, it would adver-
tise the various sections of Colorado,
and, while We are interested in Denver
we know that if we ar. to get a
greater Denver. we will first have
to get greater Colorado.
