Busy Watson Gone From us.

F. J. Watson. the busiest bee that
ever stung the inhabitants OF La
Junta, was tried by six good men
and true in the county court last
Monday on charge of insanity. Ma.
jor Damerun was delegated by the
court to look after the interests OF
the busy bee. and the prosecution
was conducted by c. E. Sabin.
Mr.. Watson has been doing q
landoffice business in the wall pa
per cleaning line In La Junta. and
incidentally contracted to do various
jobs Of paper hanging. painting. etc.
etc. He acquired os much business
that It resulted In the utter undo
ing Of his mental equilibrium. The
greatest number Of men that he had
employed at any one time was four.
and none Of them received a red cent
for their labors. and no other valu.
able consideration. except perhaps
an order for board and room, and
Watson still owes for these trifling
incidentals.
Watson also employed a stenogra'
pher. and a chaffeur to haul him
about town In quest OF more bust
ness The chaffcur also deposed that
ne had made as many AS twelve
trips to restaurant In one brief af'
ternoon To give Watson an opportun'
ity to quench his thirst At coffee
urn. Watson had great weakness
for black coffee and black cigars. and
1t was his too frequent indulgence
In these luxuries that caused him
to become nervous wreck When
his chaffeur made demand foI
wages due Watson became Indignant
and made an assault upon him, break
ing his jaw. For this he was ar
rested and landed In Jail. He was
In Jail for a week. and testified or
the witness stand that he had lost
at least $500 per day for every day
that he was incarcerated. While
In Jail Watson wrote at least 300let
ters TO various and sundry individ
uals in town. mostly lawyers ant
doctors. endeavoring to enlist then

he would recover his mental equili
brium after short confinement In MI
asylum. AS h. Was In good condition
physically. The Jury thought likewis'
and by their verdict he was ordcret
com mitted to the asylum In Pueblo.
Watson was taken to Pueblo ths

being sent to the asylum for \ briei

Scatter Sunshine Club

A great deal OF credit Is due to
the various women's clubs In La Jun
r. for the interest taken in civic
and philanthropic matters. and II is
therefore not with surprise. although
with = great deal OF satisfaction,
that II is noted that the younger gen
Grafton Is following In the footsteps
OF the elders In this highly commend
able work.
A club OF girls. most Of them
about sixteen years OF age. mas been
quietly but effectively engaged In
carrying out line Of city mission
work. These girls are known as the
ID. S. G. Club. and constitute the
members OF the Presbyterian Sunday
II was with some little difficulty that
the identity of this band OF workers
FOR sweet charity's sake was learn
ed, as II seems to be part OF ueir
plan TO follow the olden command OF
DO not your works to be seen OF
men
However. 1t has been ascertained
that the president OF the class Is
Miss Jean Marshall, and the others
are as follows:
Maude Lynch. Olive Brown
Nora Conger. Ethel Harrison
katherine Miller. Pauline Evans
lrel Yates Maude Baker
Eva Marshall Susan Jameyson
Elizabeth Stanley Ruth Cunningham,
Muriel Esry Faunie Beerbohm
Ruth Esry Marian Helm,
Irene Jones. Hulah Black
Many deeds OF love and kindness
have been accomplished by the girls
In their endeayor To live up to their
motto, which u Scatter Sunshine. -
To mention but one instance OF their
work. only last week they went to
the home Of worthy woman of this
city. whose hard working hands are
tie only means OF support OF herself
and her little ones. and added great
ly To the meagre home In the
way Of provisions and furnishings. The
girls have more needy families on
their; list. but the finances Of Tire
club will not permit Of all that IL
necessary being done, unless they
can have help from outside. II may
be that some who read this article
may be- called upon TO aid In the
work. and II 80. II is hoped tina, a
willing response may be made.
Very beautiful Is the lesson taught
by these girls In their unob,rusivs II
forts to scatter sunshine" In their
daily lives. OF which perhaps the key
note is that We are all one great
fAmily. rich and poor. fortunate and
unfortunate. car. free and world
weary. all children OF the on. Faith
