AGED MAN DROPS TO WALK
FROM PARALYTIc STROKE.

Edward Daley, IS years of age, ar
yesterday from Cottage Grove, Ore,
being en- route to some. point near
Pueblo, where he has friends. He
was not feeling we'll when on the
train from Grand Junction, but would
have doubtless continued on his jour
ney had he been in possession of a
sufficient amount of money to get a
ticket. He had but about dollar and
was, of course, compelled to stop here.
The aged man walked up to the
city and when in front of the Hunter
dental parlors he was suddenly strick-
en- with paralysis on the left side and
fell to the cement walk. Passers-by
saw the pleasant-faced old man go
down in a heap and carried him into
Mr.. Hunters offices, where he was
laid upon a couch, physicians sum-
moned, and necessary attention given.
The patient remained in an entirely
helpless condition for at least half or
three-quarters of an hour, when he
partially recovered faculties and re-
lated his story.
He was painter and decorator by
trade and had been in bridge work in
the Northwest for some time past.
Was taken quite sick last year and
confined in the hospital about six
months. He had never regained his
former strength and had concluded to
go to the home of his friend near
Pueblo, who had urged him to do SO.
The county commissioners were
called in to confer with the unfor-
tunate man and suggested that he go
to the county home and be cared for
for few days. He did not seem to
fully realize that he was almost en-.
tirely helpless and wanted to go on
afoot since he had no money and could
not buy a railroad ticket. The friend
near Pueblo was notified of Daley's
condition by wire and instructions are
looked for today

there was a firmer feeling again, ow-
ing to limited supply, and today with
only a few carloads of cattle on hand

cts were lower. values today are gem
orally called 15G25c lower than a

in very good chape.

Auto Law Confusing,

Confusion is accompanying the en-
forcement of the late state law per-
tainng to automobile licenses. In brief
it requires all motor vehicles and
chauffeurs to be legally tagged with
the state licenses by uJly Is.
Conflict No. Is that all automo-
biles and motorcycles already carry
city licenses paid in advance for the
current year. Should the owners of
these vehicles be again taxed for H.
cense in duplication of the city IL
cense? The laws reads "Yes"
Conflict No. 2 comes up in the
shape of big 'holler" about paying
a years license, as demanded by the

A pleasant dance and social good
time was held at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Schaeffer on California mesa
last Friday evening. The affair was
given by young ladies Of the Catholic
church and 1t was a financial as well
as a social success. Joe Harrington
got tangled up in quadrille during
the evening which had some sort of
ducking proceeding in its action and
Joe being tall had some difficulty in
fully or gracefully. He didn't seem
performing this stunt either success
to know just when to duck to make
the best of the situation and avoid
universal attention, etc.-and one OF
the ladies' says that Joe was stand
ing near the piano about an hour lat.
er, long after the quadrille had been
concluded, and he was yet doing some
clever ducking.

law, while in fact it only stands gooG
to the end of the present year, less
than six months in reality. This really
means that the auto owners are pay
ing triple cost for their licenses.
Conflict No. lies between the coun
ty clerks and the secretary of state
The latter has ordered the clerks OF
the various counties to issue the IL
censes, make collections, ETC., with,
out any fee, while in every county the
office is a fee office. This means
that the county officials are saving
the state some $4,000 annually in ordi.
nary recording fees. The contention
of the secretary of state is that the
law as passed by the last legislature
did not provide for any fees for the
county clerks.
Conflict No. again relates to the
fee basis. The county clerks in keep,
ing with the law have right to
charge 25 cents acknowledgment fee
on whatever papers are filed in the
office. The new auto law being with.
out fee regulations, the question arises
shall the auto owner pay this acknowl-
edgment fee. or shall it come from
the bulk price of the license?
Conflict No. 5. Now that the state
law and city law conflicts on the
auto license, will the city annul its
license law. The law states specific
ally that the cities shall not levy auto
licenses longer, but according to a
recent ruling of the supreme court
under the home rule adopted by Den.

In Pueblo County Clerk Highbergel
is charging 12k cents to the state
while in Colorado Springs County
Clerk Sheldon is charging the custom
er 25 cents as an acknowledgment fee
The law provides that of the license
fund half shall go to the state and
half to the counties to be used for
the road fund.

wind blew during the morning, car
rying with it dust and other atoms
such as loose boards, chicken coors,
etc. AS the latter part of the day
drew on, 1t began to snow, and the
wind blew harder. The wind, mixe.
with the dirt, nd the snow and
some other more or less sem:-so'id
objects made 1t very disagreeable

There were no lives lost here, though,

were killed and much property was
