At Rocky Ford

The Arkansas Valley fair this year
promises to be better than ever and
the management has made several

tions that will aid In swelling the
crowds during fair week.
A purse of 800 will be given the

will probably decide the pennant win
ners OF the valley for the season.
Since the game last Sunday resulted
in victory for Rocky Ford they are in
the lead. but another game is to be
played before fair week and the out
come will be looked forward to with
much interest by the fans all down
the valley.
Another special attraction that has
been added by the fair directors, and
is bound to prove a drawing card, is
the cowgirl race. which will take
place on Wednesday, September 3,
and is open to contestants from Bent,
Crowley, Prowers and Otero counties.
The "better babies" show Is also
creating quite an interest, and those
wishing to enter their babies in the
contest to be held by the Arkansas
Valley Fair association should apply
to w. g Steele for blanks and direc-
tions OF how to proceed.
The girl babies and the boy babies
will be Judged separately, each to be

Brand Tax Due

Through the state board of stock in
spection commissioners the New Era
Is informed that, according toa law
enacted by the last general assembly,
effective July Is. 1918, a tax or assess.
ment Of sl is now due and pay able for
all brands used In the state.
The new law reads as follows:
"Section 16. For the purpose of re.
vising and disencumbering the brand
records of unused brands, and for
providing funds with which to publish
new brand books, and otherwise assist
in carrying out the provisions of this
act, an assessment Of one dollar tSl. .00)
on each brand now Of record In the
otiice Of the Secretary of State is here
by made, and IL shall be the duty OF
the State Board Of Stock Inspection
Commissioners Immediately upon this
act becoming effective to notify every
owner of brand now on record
through the United States mail, by
registered letter, addressed to said
owner at the postofiice as given in the
Brand Records, of such assessment
and said assessment shall be due and
payable within sixty days after this
act becomes effective"
It ia well known fact that many
brands are now Of record which are
not In use, and 1t will be taken for
granted that brands on which this
assessment is not paid are not wanted
by the present owners, and unless the
assessment IL paid the brands will be-
come forfeited and will be let out to
parties WIN desire to adopt them.
This sl.0O ~ not an annual tax, but
the assessment is for once only. and
for the purpose Of making new brand
books, revising the records. paying
postage and expenses, and Of elimin.
ating from the records all brands or
which this sl.OO Is not paid.
Az the matter now stands IL Is
almost impossible to let out'a brand
that does not conflict With some other
brand.

For Naturalization

Regarding the proposed abolition OF
the issuance of naturalization papers
in the Office OF the circuit clerk, S. P.
IlgenfritZ announces that he will con-
tinue to issue the papers II new citi-
Zens OF the state and Crowley county
desire it. This work, which entails
considerable labor, should properly be
done in the Office OF the United States
district court, and MIR. Ilgenfritz
states that it was made optional with
him whether or not be would do the
work, since the practice has been
abolished at both Pueblo and La
Junta. He says, however, that If 1t
is desired he will continue to perform
this duty more as an accommodation
than for the fees that result there
from.

Judge Essex in Short Session
Thursday Mixed Justice
With Mercy in Six
Important Cases

An interesting session Of the district
court In Ordway Thursday, Judge Z.
s. Essex presiding, resulted In the
convTction of several criminals appre-
hended during the last month in
Crowley county.
The frst case coming up for trial
was that OF Harvey h. Fields, colored,
charged with an attempt to commit
rape on the person OF a little girl
from Trinidad several weeks ago.
Fields entered plea OF guilty to the
charge and was given an indetermin-
ate sentence Of ten to fourteen years
In the penitentiary at Canon City.
1t will be remembered that Fields.
who was an employe In the dining car
service on the Missouri Pacific rail-
road, made his attempted assault on
the girl, who is not quite eight years
old, while she, with her parents, was
enroute for some point in Missouri on
the Missouri Pacific fast train passing
Ordway about $40 in the evening.
The attempt was made while the train
was near Sugar City, after the little
girl had gone In the vestibule OF the
diner 10 search OF the ladies' toilet
room of the chair car. She had asked
the negro for directions, aud after
giving her the information she wanted

In the case Of W. r. Green, charged
with the theft Of silverware, together
with Gay Eaton, from the Leach
home several weeks ago Green plead
guilty In consideration of the fact
that letters were produced showing
the good record Of the defendant 10
the past, pleading letters ffnm the
wife to the court, and letter from
protective association in st. Louis
show ing the partially destituted con.
dition OF the family, the court was
disposed to leniency, on recommenda-
tion OF the Leach family. and sent
enced Green to 80 days In jail. He
had been an employe on the Leach
ranch and had been considered an ex-
emplary young man prior to his theft.
There was also some doubt about the
monetary value Of the stolen goods
running high enough to justify con.
victiOn.
The case OF Gay Eaton, who was
Implicated in the theft OF the silver.
ware with Green, was nolle pressed
after Green's plea of guilty.
As partial solution OF the Mexican
situation 10 and about Ordway Judge
Essex after the testimony was heard,
sentenced Pedro Sapata and Jose NJ.

charge, to a term OF from three to six
years each in the penitentiary for the

Richie, Charley Smith and Pierce, the
young left-hander, and Fred ..Toney
is likely to have chance at the Reds
because of his showing against Pitts
burgh Monday. Then when the Cubs
leave home for the Eastern trip next
week Cheney will be fresh and able
to stand hard grind. Jimmy Laven-
der should be back in the fray by
getaway day and the two stars of
the club will bear the brunt of the
heaving abroad. Evers wants both
to be in the best possible form when
the team reaches New York.
There was nothing startling about
yesterdays combat, but the Cubs
again showed the ability to hop a
pitcher together and get to him while
he was wavering. They switched
their tactics and compressed the biff
stuff into the first round. Two singles
and double were punched with an
error for three runs. Then the slug
gers took things easy. Apparently
they are confident they can get runs
whenever they want them and rest
up for the pinches. Their work SO
far certainly bears out that belief.
Joe Tinker's team lacks just what
sticks out as big as house on the
Cubs Sight. Hoblitzel and Tinker
are the only Reds who seem to have
any ginger. The outfield is fast me-
chanically and gets hits back to the
inf1eld quicker than any trio of gar
deners exhibited on the West Side
this year. Their pegging was mac
curate, however. Grant, on third, is
one of the best routine feeders in the
business, but Eddie behaves like a
dead one unless a ball is hit at him.

me HcQS were handicapped play
ing in the White Sox uniforms. Many
of the players looked like they'were
wearing tights and this affected their
throwing, their shirts being too tight.
Clarke had trouble raising his arm
to heave to second. Doc Semmens
was an unpopular guy because he
forgot to check the uniforms from
ST. Louis.
Some excitement at the banquet to
Joe Tinker last night. While Gene
Greene was warbling song about
how welcome Joe was a copper ap-
peared and pinched Greene for speed
ing in his auto. The pinch was on
the level, too. Joe should sign Greene
and get some of that speed.
Much cheer around the South Side
because of the showing of the White
Sox in Detroit yesterday. Calls men
scored six runs, whaled II hits and
four of the swats were of the pinch
variety, Borton contributed two,
Schaller one and Weaver one. Bor-
ton got three hits and Schaller two.
Schaller also stole base, the theft
allowing him to score from second
on Weaver's single. The former Tiger
looks like an important addition 70
the Hose scenery.
:, Tex Russell, the young southpaw
of the Sox, is entitled to particular
mention in the days news. In the
eighth Doc White, who had been a
bear for seven innings, slipped, and
the Tigers quickly filled the hassocks
with none out and three runs need
ed to put them in the lead. Doc was
given the recall and Russell was
pushed to the front. The first man to
face him was T'y Cobb, making his
1913 debut and eager to show he was
worth the young fortune he will draw
this year. Try to figure out harder

old one, for that matter. \ It can't be
