The following paragraph from the
Morrisville Messenger contains an un-
usual amount of truth and common
sense:
The state papers, for want of
something better, are seriously dis
cussing the question, q Is Gov. Fletcher
a Progressive?' What does it matter
If he acts mp to the best that is in him
and does those things that the people
want done, he is a progressive and it
matters very little whether he bears

MONTROSE. Colo, March /.
An immense mountain lion. the
largest ever captured in this part
of the country. was caught in a
most sensational manner by Uri
Hotchkiss, the famous hunter
and trapper of Colona. six miles
east of that place, Wednesday
morning.
The animal was brought to
Montrose this afternoon, hog-tied
in an automobile and placed in a
cage in the Crystal theater,
where it will be exhibited for a
week. 1t stands fully three feet
high, is nine feet from tip Of
nose to end of tail, and weighs
LAG pounds.
Hotchkiss heard of the lion
and, in company with his son
George, and Roy Humphrey.
they started out with a pack Of
dogs. The dogs struck the trail
and treed the lion. Hotchkiss
climbed a tree in which the lion
was clinging, unarmed except
with q rope. The lion chased
him down the tree several times,
but finally Hotchkiss got within
about three feet from him and
threw a rope around his neck.
The men on the other end of the
rope attempted to pull the lion
out of the tree. but were unable
to do so. Hotchkiss worked
around behind the lion and twist
ed his tail until they Jared him
loose. After getting the lion
down they threw another rope
around his leg. Hotehkiss ther
placed him on the saddle. fasten.

him into Colona.
When he was united the lior

the lion it attacked two dogs ane

TO the Denver Times.
Inotice that the Denver Cham.
ber of Commerce and the Real.
estate exchange have hoisted the
Boost Colorado" banner and are
going at it with a vim and in a
right way to insure success.
They, with the help of some king
bees in the Doherty hive. are go
ing to place thousands of families
in nice homes on fine farms all
over Colorado's. fruitful plains.
and they are going to do it
through the medium of first
class loan and trust company to
be organized for the purpose of
making safe and proper loans at
low rate of interest and long,
time payments to small farmers
to enable them, each and all, in
a small way to start raising hogs,
poultry and dairy cows and from
such starters derive small but
sure incomes with which to sup
port their families, pay their in
terest and further improve their
farms.
These results can. and will be
made sure by first putting on
each farm (where needed)a a small
pumping plant sufficient to irri-
gate ten or twenty acres on
which to raise vegetable and al
falfa for feeding their families
and stock. as far as stock may
need above it's grazing on bal
ance of the farm. Maintenance
of family needs and interest
money will be assured from psqr,

ted lands.
This is not a new idea hastily
ricked up without due consider
alton and much figuring Of detail
by practical people SO as to in

really an invention of prac-
tical dry farmer suggested by his
experience on a dry farm at
Arriba, Colo. and his outlining
and figuring was started in July,
1911, while on a fishing trip with
me on the Frasier river, and he
has been perfeeting the plan ev-
er since.
Knowing he must have brainy
and pecuniary help to make 1t
effective, he presented his plan
to the Chamber of Commerce
several months ago and its ap-
parent benefits to the state of
Colorado and Denver were so
manifest as to be instantly rec
ognized by such men as E. J.

When John w. Bailey, Fred w.

from Battle Creek to Montreal, Can
ada, for their initial interview with
the high Grand Trunk officials. half
their fellow-townsmen thought they
were crazy and two of the three news
papers voiced the same sentiments.
All the tip they had was that the
Grand Trunk was contemplating either
the rebuilding of their shops at Port
Huron, or moving them away, and
they knew that Battle Creek had
things that the Grand Trunk wanted.
and vice versa,-but they went, not
once, but twice, and then third
time, and they conquered.
They didn't send any kilograms to
find out if they might come, nor did
they ask the Grand Trunk officials to
come to them. A dozen men con-
ceived of the project and backed it,
and the present shops, and the Battle

PRESIDE. Texas, Dec. via
Marf2.-COurierS travelling in advance
of the caravan of refugees from Chi
huahua rode istO Preside Friday with
tragic stories OF hardships and dis
tress. They said that the main body
OF the fugitives would reach the Dor
der late Friday Afternoon.
The fleeing federal soldiers seized
whole families along the way as host
ages to prevent any attack by the con-
stitItionalists
For more than a week, the refugees.
soldiers and civilians, men, women
and children, have plodded over the
$50 miles Of Mexican desert and noun
tain land lying between chihuahua
City and the border.
Exhausted men and children, foot
sore and worn out by hardship and
lack of food and water, were left by
the wayside to die slowly Of thirst and
hunger
Kill Mules for Food.
Some of the rich members Of the
| fleeing army, for there are a number
| of wealthy Mexican families among
the refugees, were compelled by Gen.
Mercado's soldiers to kill their horses
and mules for food. Even the pack
/ animals carrying a treasure in bull
lion and plate, owned by the Terrazas
and other rich Mexican families, were
slain for food.
Struggling bands of soldiers, flank
/ ed the caravan and acted as advance
and rear guard to prevent any attack
| by the bandits who infest the lonely
country through which the fugitives
| passed.
When the fight started many of
| the wanderers threw away arms, pro-
visions and clothing in panic. When
| the mountain country was struck the
weather became very cold and expo
sure added TO the distress of the fugi-

Parents Make Sacrifices.
Examples Of noble sacrifice among

and mothers discarded their own
clothing that their children might be
warm. The L. s. military and civil
