Great Challenge and Sample Sale
AT MATTE SWINK HULSE'S
Many Women Should Take Advau-
tage of the Bargains Offered


Unlike the ordinary sales advertised
that peter out in a few days because the
merchants fail to live up to their promise.
Mrs. Matte Swink Hulse-just returned
from the Eastern markets, where she
bought for cash FIVE big sompe lines of
suits. coats. dresses and millinery at Az
cents on the dollar-is going to sell it the
same way for the next ten days, and give
better values than any store in all Colo
rado for the money. Many women who
go shopping out of curiosity will become
buyers. Seldom have such values been
given at the beginning of season that
equal those offered at this sale. Women
can buy here with perfect confidence. as
no misrepresentation will be allowed.
All garments not found satisfactory on
home inspection may be exchanged or
money will be cheerfully refunded.
While it is unfortupate for competitors
that this elegant stock will be sold for
what they paid for garments on this
order. Mrs. Hulse bought them so that
she could make big sale and give l.er
patrons the benefit of her bargain buying
Many exclusive designs are shown at
prices that do not cover the cost of ma
terials and women will raid their savings
to get the benefit of the enormous values
and bargains that can be obtained at this

Continued from First Pagel

as to the woman's past, but the court
Pearson admitted that she had brought
with her from Rocky Ford, small %
caliber revolver. but declares she took it
with her to Walsenburg the day before
the shooting.
Hill made a good witness and told
fairly straight forward story. The tes-
timony dwelt particularly upon the move
ments of himself and Glessner the night
of the shooting. He stated that they
visited two saloons, picture show on
Main street, the Chicago Liquor house
and strolled down the avenue as far as
the recruiting Office. then walked up the
opposite side to the Turf rooming house
where teey went to bed about | 0 o'clock.
Saturday morning, Hill testified that he
and Glessner decided to walk to Napesta
on the way back home, as they only had
sl.4o between them. They were arrest
ed while seated on the Santa Fe bridge
across the Fountain, while reading a
morning Chisftain containing an account
Of the shooting.
The reason why we got a Chieftain
was because it carries the Rocky Ford
news" said Hill. I'VE wanted to see il
there was anything in it about Us coming
to Pueblo with the two women. and IN
case it did, we were not going back to the
Ford right away; but intended going to
Fowler. or that vicinity and get work.
Hill testified that when taken before Mr..
Gray who was suffering at the time from
the bullet wound, they were hsndcuffed

The Gas Franchise


should not have submitted anything
for publication upon this question but for
the request OF several persons who be-
lieved should answer some things that
have been published that, whether in
tended or not, amount to criticism upon
the mayor and the city council on their
action in submitting this question to the
people.
1t will be remembered that the mayor
and members of the city council were
each and all nominated by petition and
elected by almost unanimous vote to the
positions they now occupy. and that it
required considerable persuasion to get
these men to accept these offices and
No one will question the integrity and
honesty of any man on this board. They
are among our best citizens and all are
business men and have the interest of
the city of Rocky Ford as much at heart
as any citizens we have.
When the proposition was presented to
the city council by Mr.. Culver. repre-
senting the gas company. the council in
order to obtain the most reliable Infor-
nation regarding the merits of the prop
osition wrote to the several towns in this
state and many in Kansas to learn the
rate that was paid for gas and the con-
dltions under which franchises had been
granted. Upon receiving such informa-
lt;a of lin q
drawn at La Junta. the council in several
OF its meetings proceeded to go over the
ordinance section by section. altering and
amending until it oonformsd to their best
judgment. Then-after every citizen had
been given ample opportunity to express
himself and no opposing voice was raised
was the proposition submitted to the
people.
II this franchise is granted it will bring
into this city property owned by the gas
company of value OF about $4,000 the
taxes from which wiirgo to the city and
county government and in the installing
of the plant large sums OF money will be
spent for labor in the city, which will not
| only OtutllL tile ldpOtSi out liie Hiei Shaht.
1t will also put Rocky Ford upon the map
as one of the progressive cities of Colo
rado. and it will be an inducement for
people to make their homes in our city
where they can secure the use of gas for
heating and cooking purposes.
Should the franchise be refused it will
give La Junta-our sister city-an ad-
vantoge over US that believe we would
always regret. The failure to grant this
franchise will mean that Rocky Ford will
have no gas in all probability for many
| years. and when it does secure gas il
will be at perhaps much higher rate. Sc
| hope that no voter will allow his preju-
dices or his unfriendly feelings toward
the mayor or any member of the city
5ouneil to influence him to vote against
this franchise which believe will result
| in great benefit to the city.

only that of citizen and taxpayer ot

Hapd6!y s
QualityCounts:

There was a time
when folks went most
any old place to trade
when the prices named
were low.
And some folks
thought they were buy
ing goods cheap.
But as time went on
and folks read the news
papers and magazines
more---the advertise
ments as we'll as the
body of the paper-the
dear people became
much more careful as
to the Quality of mer-
chandise and where the
purchase was made.
Really looked at the
reliability of the store.
In fact everyone
knows now that a low
price does not necessa-
rily mean cheap goods,
very often otherwise,
for there is a growing
demand for good hon
est merchandise and a
growing willingness to
pay fair price for same.
Hardey's have per-
sistently favored put
ting fair prices on all
the merchandise they
sell and just as persist
emily have they insist
ed on selling only a re-
liable line of Dry Goods,
Shoes, etc.
We think that we
have made plain the
fact that our goods are
worth what we ask for
them and that everyone
even the children
can trade with us with
satisfaction and safety.
We invite your bust
ness on these terms
and if you are not now
a customer we'll prove
ourselves to you if
you'll give us oppor-
tunity.

CITY.

BRISTOL, Tenn, Jan. 4.--The
Electric Transmission Company is be-
ing organized in Bristol with CAPT
tai stock of 100000, the purpose Of
which is to at once erect large
electric plant in the coal fields near

the coal fields where the plant will be
installed. It will first supply current
to the mines and transmission lines
will then run all over this section.
