Crowley Day.
The boosters were about an hour
late iu leaving Rocky Ford, their din
ner was 80 good and their greeting SO
cordial that We could not get away
sooper-and then the move ON Manza-
noIa was made.
Deserted STREETS in Mauzanola on
the arrival of the boosters soon began
to I'll up with spectators who enjoyed
the concert of the band and were in-
terested 10 the denomination for
Crcweiy Day. Before arriving at
Manzanola the parade stopped at
Weitzer, where the band played several
selections.
Leaving Mauzanola the parade was
headed BY car that had come from
Fowler to act as pilot. and arrival
there was made about an hour late
FowIeI's good water was much en-
joyed, its stores flled With advertising
matter, and the demonstration Of the
boosters and its band music was in
turn much enjoyed by Fowlerites.
Leaving Fowler the trip was broken
into by side trip to the wells Of the
Fowler Oil and Gas Co., where drill
ling is being done. This part Of the
trip served to break the monotony
and was enjoyed by all. The we'll
that is being drilled vas down about
$50 feet at that time, and the process
was interesting, as many of the crowd
had never seen drill OF that size in
operation.
After this the crowd moved on to
Olney Springs, where cordial recep-
tion was given by Mayor Wells on be-
half Of his people. Several selections
we're rendered by the band, cigars we're
passed around, three hearty cheers
were given for olney and the parade
struck out on the last lap Of a long

able, journey. The party arrived in

New improvements

Ordway Is now one Of the best
lighted little towns in the country.
New street lights have been put In AT
the intersection Of all the prominent
streets and redldents are now enjoy
ing a light every block instead OF
every two blocks as heretofore. The
lights were turned on for the first
time Tuesday night. Tungstcns are
being strung instead Of the arcs and
those arcs already up will be taken
down eventually and the less brilliant
but Just as effective Tungstens substi-
Lutcd. Improvements are made In
Ordway with snch regularity that IL
is hard for the average citizen to keep
track OF them, aud IL is getting 70 be
that these improvements are taken AS
matter of course aud little attention
paid to them. First thing some OF
the sleepy ones know we will be hav.
ing paved streets, and maybe motor

go around aud to spare and every bod y
had all they wanted.
At 1:l5 In the afternoon the bal
game between MsnzanoIa and Ordway
was called. OF course this proved in
teresting to a large number. Ordway
won the game by Is to 8 score.
At 2 100 O'Clock the live stock and
automobile parade started from Hen
derson's feed barn, and a goodly num-
bes of fine horses and mules we're in
line.
This Was followed by free vaude-
Vile In South park, which included
tight wire walking and juggling, and
by fancy horseback riding. These two
features were especially enjoyable to a
large part of the crowd.
At three O'Clock the four companies
of state militia repaired to the vacant
field north of the alfalfa mill where
a genuine sham battle, was indulged
in. The troops were under command
Of regular army and state reximentaE
officers, and several hundred rounds of
ammunition we're used. The troops
we're divided into two squads, the one
attacking and the other defending
Fort Ordway." The defending side
won . technical battle. Most every
one in attendance at the celebration
witnessed the battle, and all were Civ
en- an imitation of a genuine battle
that produced thrill after thrill.
After the sham battle the street
sports were held on the main street
Of the town and they proved very in
teresting and brought out many COM
petitors for the prizes. The winners
will be announced next week.
A massed drill of the soldiers taking
part in the sham battle was the last
thing on the prognr, besides the band
concert after supper.
Too much credit cannot be given
those in charge Of the celebration.
Everything went of smoothly, with
possibly q little too much of drag in
the Amusement features, but the crowd
was good humorcd through it all and
enjoyed the features when they did
come. The band boys played vali-
antly all day long, and the music was
first class.
The better babies contest held at
the Chamber Of Commerce rooms un-
der the supervision of Rev. o. E.
Barker brought out good sized bunch
of lusty youngsters. The judging in
this contest is being done on scien-
tific basis by physicians selected for
the purpose, and it will be several
days before the final result is an
nounced. The babies so far Judged
who won prizes in the various classes
in the rural division are: Girls ~ to
"a months old, Lila Burris; girls "a
to SO months old, Grace Forcher;
boys "a to 36 months old, Donald
Fountain. complete list of the
winners will be given next week.

Dry Farm Crops

Reports from the dry farming Sec
tons of this part Of the state sre to
the effect that because of the numer-
GUS rains this season crops are in
splendid condition, and the prospects
for bumper yields were never brighter.
1t begins to look as though western
farming in all it's branches is going to
be a bowling success this year and
that a Merry Christmas is in store for
everyone. Corn, wheat, oats and all
other grains will go way above the
average yield this year, and those
crops nuder irrigation will make a
splendid showing.
N ost farmers are going into the sec
ond cutting of alfalfa, and from the
looks of some of the fields the second
crop has been cut and the third is
nearly ready. The Auckland fatm
west Of town, which comprises l 200
acres of alfalfa, will get four cuttings
this season.
Cautaloupes and sugar beets all ever
the valley are looking fine, and ship
pers and factories are preparing for
long runs. Cants sre now being ship
ped from the Rocky Ford country and
plans are being made on this side of
the valley to start that work about
August %. Early apples are being
marketed, and the busy time ap-
proaches.

Accident to Bride

The arrival Saturday Of Dennis J.
Mooney with his bride Of but few
days from Silver City, N. NJ, was the
occasion for. an accident to Mrs.
Mooney which will confine her to her
home for some time to come. Because
of the popularity Of Mr.. Mooney it
was decided to give him and his newly
acquired wife rousing welcome, and
quite number of his friends had
gathered at the station for that puI-
pose. They had taken an automobile
along with them to carry the couple
to their home, and this car was stand
ing opposite the train on the north
side of the track. When this was
discovered ons of the party, in spirit
of fun, suggested that the entire party
be taken down main street on one of
the drays that was standing at the
platform. This plan was heartily
agreed to and Mr.. and Mrs. Mooney,
with the rest of the party, boarded it.
On the way to the business part of
the town Mrs. Mooney turned to say
something to one of the men on the
dray, and just as she did SO the wag-
on turned a corner.
This caused her to lose her balance
and she fell from the wagon and sus
tained two fractured ribs and other
minor bruises. She was given medical
attention at once. and while the
wounds were pronounced not serious
they we're necessarily painful. Dire.
McCleaIy and Workman attended her.
Mr.. Mooney has been in Silver City
for several weeks ostensibly to look
after some mining property he has
there, and word was received a few
days ago that he would bring his bride
home with him on Saturday. OF
course, his friends wanted to give
them welcome. This welcome end
ed disastrously for the bride, and both
she and her husband have the sympa-
thy and assistance of the entire COM
mupity.

Mexican Band Is
Taken in Tow by
Sheriff Hullliston
Twelve Arrested on Charge of
Burglary and Bound Over
AT Preliminary Trial
Last Monday

With the rounding up of bunch Of
Mexicans and recovering about $500
worth of stolen property Sunday and
Monday of this week Sheriff Hum iston
made the most important haul of his
official career. This band Of robbers,
twelve in number, ranging from
mere children to old men and women,
was captured in the neighborhood of
Shiloh, a small station on the Mis-
souri, Pacific about five miles west of
Ordway. The whole bunch was given
a preliminary hearing before Justice
Olmstead Monday afternoon and we're
bound over to the action of the fall
taken to Pueblo Tuesday by Sheriff
Humiston for safe keeping pending
their trial.
1t is believed that this capture will
put amend to the series Of robberies
that has been going Oh in Ordway and
contiguous territory for a long time,
and the capture is an important one.
While not having any positive evil
dence of the fact, it is believed that
at least part Of this band were mem
bens of the gang that operated in
southeastern Colombo with consider
able success several years ago.
No trouble was experienced By
Sheriff Humiston in making the ar
rests, although he was alone at the
time. Outside of an attempt to make
away with discriminating evidence in
the shape of stolen merchandise, the
Mexic leans submitted passively to be-
ing brought to Ordway, where the out.
come or theft predicapent seemed to
worry them little. As stated above,
abou, 5000 worth Of merchandise was
recovered at the time the arrests we're
made, and this was brought to Ordway
with the prisoners. where nearly all Of
it has been identit fled. The greater
part of it was stolen from Strickler's
store about two weeks ago. Whea the
raid was made on the homes of the
Mcxicaus unusual methods we're re-
sorted to in attempt to destroy the
stolen goods. A bonfire WAS made Of
part of il, part Of it was stuffed in the
stove and part hidden in various
places around the house. Some of the
women had the smaller and more
valuable stuff pinned to their under
clothing, and this of course, was not
discovered until search was instituted.
1t is believed that the operations of
this Organized band of robbers has
resulted IN the loss by merchants in
this territory of at least 50 900 worth
Of merchandise. The disposition
made by the robbers Of the goods as
they were stolen is not known posi-
lively, but the theory has been ad
vanced that shrewder and smarter
members of the race are stationed in
the different cities of the southwest
and the stolen goods were sent there
where disposition was made of them.
1t is believed that this capture will
put an end to robberies in this sec
tion for some time to come, aud
Sheriff Humiston is to be coDgratu-
lated on the success which met this
his latest raid

'Copyright-I

The second birthday of Crowley
county was celebrated in Ordway yes
terday with q capital C. Under o
smiling sun in a clear sky the i'm.
mense throng that went to make the
celebration such big success began to
assemble in the town early and by ten
O'Clock the streets Of the business sec
tion and the two parks were pretty
we'll filled. The tain from the west
bearing some Of the principal speak
ers of the day and three companies of
the state militia, as we'll as people
from towns between here and Pueblo,
was about an hour late and the morn
ing program was necessarily cut short.
By the time the barbecue was served
the town was packed with people.
Various estimates of the crowd place
the attendance AZ high as 1000. 1t
is known definitely that between 2, 500
and 5000 tickets were issued to the
barbecue, and this would indicate an
attendance of 5000. 1t was the big =
gest crowd that Ordway has had the
pleasure of entertaining, and every
body, apparently bent upon having n
good time, went home late In the
evening we'll satisfied with their out
ing.
The live stock exhibit held under
the auspices of the Crowley County
Live Stock association was the first
thing on the morning program, aud
this feature proved . popular one
among owners of fine stock as well
as those who appreciate it. The in
itial exhibit was composed principally
of horses, but it is hoped by the mem
bers of the association that later ex-
hibits will be made to include live
stock of all kinds. It is impossible
to give the winners in the various
classes at this time.
Headed by the band of 25 pieces,
the crowd moved to North park at
ten O clock, where the address of vel
come was delivered by Attorney l II.
Stanley in lieu of Mayor A. NJ. Ward.
This was followed by q happy talk
by Senator J. II Crowley of Rocky
Ford. after whom the county ofCrowley
was named, and speeches by other
prominent men. Because Of the late
ness of the train from the west some
of the speeches had to be omitted.
Promptly at twelve O'Clock the band
led the crowd back to South park,
where the feast of the day was served
And 1t was a hungry bunch that
hocked down on those in charge of the
work. To eliminate confusion tickets
were issued emitting the holders ac-
cess to the serving counters, and $500
of these tickets we're given out. Be-
cause of the fact that the barbecue
has been running short in years past,
there was lively scramble for it for
about an hour. There was plenty to

r. p Fletcher said that architects
in Washington had agreed that the
plan to group all public building was
the best
David J. Reinhardt urged tho city
to take it's place with other cities or
its size. He said something should
be done and done now. lie thought
joint building could be erected
more economically and would serve
better purpose than having separate
buildings. He went into the belief Of
some that the removal Of the City
Hall from its present location would
dcpreciate the value OF property
around Sixth and Market streets. He
explained that where the car tracks
are the business will be and they viii
have TO remain in Market street an

decided that French street shall be
free of tracks. Tie expressed the
opinion that the city viii grow west
ward rather than on the east side.
He approved OF the Tenth and

widened he said always a good thing.
He sincerely hoped that the joint
building will be erected and every
body be broadminded enough to carry
the project through.

spending of so much money for a

board, replied that there need not be
any raise at all
Mr. Sparks added that if a new as
sessment plan was provided by the
present Legislature, for the City Of

less.
Mr.. Gibney said there was some
opposition to the proposition and the
Legislature will be memorialized tC
