BUY RED CROSS SEALS

The interest which the Colorado people
are taking in the fight to exterminate the
Great White Plague is. shown in the
manner in which they. one and all. re-

are willing to give a portion Of their time
toward the stamping out of this dread

The Red Gross society does not expect
to make any great amount of money out
Of this work. What it hopes to do is to
educate the people on what it is doing in

Tribune Changes Hands

The Rocky Ford Tribune will this week
appear with new man at the helm. J.R
O'Conner having on Saturday last dispos
ed of the paper to Int Stanley. The new
proprietor for over twenty years was
owner and editor of the Lovington tIlll
Reporter. which paper occupied FORE
most place in Illinois newspaperdom while
Under his control. Failing health caused
him to dispose Of the paper last summer.
and after looking the country over he
was so highly pleased with our ideal little
city that he decided to make this his
future home. with the result as above
outlined.
With Mr.. Stanley will be associated
his two sons. Theirs and Dean Stanley.
who have both had a newspaper training.
and to the Stanley trio the Enterprise
extends hearty welcome and the hope
that under their guidance the Tribune
may grow and prosper.
J, r. O'Connor who has so successfully
conducted the Tribune for the past couple
of years, is after a job with the powers
that-be in state politics, and we UNDER
stand his political pulling power is likely
to land him in soft berth.

Mr.. Gaines comes Of the Old Peter

OFF the platform Gaines is called by

verdict according to the evidence.
The counts relating to embezzlement

the jury by Judge Lewis.
Thomas Ward Jr., chief attorney
for Cunningham, spoke for something

During the noon hour on Mon
day, little Hazel Mcbride, a stud.
ent at the Washington school, had
been down town after some groc-
cries which she intended taking to
her home near Newdale after
school, and she had just left the
Rocky Ford Grocery to return
to school when the horse that she
was driving took fright aud ran
away, despite the efforts to con-
troll tine animal. -.
Having but a short block to go
before reaching the Santa Fe cross
ing, where the bell was signalling
the approach of the Colorado Fly
er, the impending tragedy could
not be averted, although attempts
were made by couple of men as
well as by Fltgman Tillson to stop
the maddened animal. The at
tempt of the latter swerved the
horse from its headlong dash into
the train, but the frightened beast
dashed across the depot platform
and apparently leaped upon the
locomotive pilot, the impact throw
ing the buggy and its brave little
occupant against the drive wheels
of the engine.
The train was stopped within
sixty feet, when the horse extri-
Gated itself from the pilot and ran
off through the park apparently
uninjured. But not SO fortunate
was the young girl, as she had
been dragged under the train and
her body had been almost served
from the right shoulder to the left
hip and the left arm had been torn
off.
Train hands and Mortified by
ISLANDERS rushed to pick up the
little girl, but even as they reach
ed the side Of the mutilated form
it was seen at a glance that she
was beyond mortal aid, and the
remains were tenderly lifted up
and upon the arrival Of Coroner
Wilson were borne to the Dobbs
undertaking parlor.
ON Tuesday afternoon the cor
onor's inquest was held, and after
a thorough investigation the YER
dict of the jury was that "Hazel
Mcbride came to her death by be-
ing struck by the engine of Santa
Fe train No. COL, while in a run
away" The accident was upavoid-
able and no one could be blamed
for its disastrous ending.
On yesterday afternoon funeral
services were conducted in the
Methodist church by Rev Warner
and were attended by large con-
course Of sinceraly mourning
friends. The remains of the little
girl were laid to rest in Valley
View cemetery, beside those of
her father, who some seven years

ago also met a sudden death, hav-
ing been killed by lightning.
Has LEG Broken
About 3 O'clock on NJ n d a y
morning Myron Baxter was on the
way to the sugar factory after a
load of beet pulp and was about to
enter the factory grounds when
the team he was driving became
frightened at sick pony that was
rolling at the roadside.
- Young Baxter's team bolted in
to the ditch on the opposite side
of the road and he was thrown
from the wagon, the hind wheel of
which passed over his left leg,
breaking the bones short off close
to the hip.
The young man was brought to
the Pollock hospital where the
fractures were reduced and at last
accounts he was resting as easy as
could be expected.
First of Runaway Accidents
On Sunday afternoon Fritz
Freidenburg. farmer living west
of town, with his son and two small
daughters was driving home from
this city when his team became
frightened and ran away.
Out near the outskirts of town the
surrey came into violent contact
with the Fowler water crane and
the occupants were thrown ont.
Mr.. Freidenburg sustained the
fracture of two ribs and the boy n
broken kneecap, while the little
girls escaped with minor cuts and
bruises.
