First Concert

Tomorrow Saturday evening the
Ordway Concert band will give its
first program for the present season
in the South park, beginning at p.
m. The cool evenings of the past
few weeks have prevented an earlier
start. but from now on the concerts
will be regular attraction of the
summer. The band boys are working
hard to get enough money together
to secure new uniforms, which are
not only needed but are also necessi-
tated by their alliance with the new
and powerful Arkansas Valley band.
In the latter organization the bands
of the various towns will all have
similar uniforms so that when they
play together they will present har-
monious appearance. Don't fail to
attend the concert tomorrow evening.

Want to Know

Nothing is a surer index Of the pros
perity or stagnation of towns busi-
ness and general condition than the
receipts of the local postofflce. The
increase at the Ordway Office for the
past two quarters has been so large
that the postal authorities are writ
ing to ascertain the reason. In some
offices there was at one time pract-
ice OF selling large quantities Of
stamps to out Of town parties in order
to raise the grade OF the office and the
consequent emolument. In Ordway
there has been nothing Of the kind,
but the increase In postal receipts has
been due solely to better business con-
ditions, the settlement Of the terri
tory tributary to the office and the
better tone OF affairs around Ordway
in general. the increase for the last
six months over the preceding six
months being over 20 per cent. 1t is
matter OF congratulation that Uncle
Sans stamp dispensary here can
make such favorable showing.

"Borrowedo Horse !

Saturday night William Fowble, q
young man from Lincoln county,
where his relatives reside. and who
has been working for different parties
in this vicinity for several months,
took a notion TO 70 to Sugar City. He
also took horse belonging to County
Commissioner F. R. Phillips aud after
arriving at the city Of joy juice
turned the animal loose. The horse
started for home and was picked up
on the road and the owner notified,
as was also Sheriff Humiston. The
latter arrested Fowble and the
young man was arranged Monday
before Justice Aldrich at Sugar City,
who held him in binds OF $500 for the
action OF the district court. Failing
secure the necessary security, Sheriff
Humiston TODD Fowbles to Pueblo
Tuesday morning and lodged him in
the county jail. there to await The
converting OF the next term of the
district court.
There has been considerable OF this
promiscuous borrowing Of horses,
bicycles and even automobiles around
here within the past few months and
the authorities have determined to
put stop to it. While it Is not be-
lieved that Fowble intended to steal
the horse. it was his bad luck to
indulge in his lark just at the time
when patience In this particular re-
spect had ceased to be a virtue with
the officials and he will now have
plenty OF time to ruminate upon his
folly.
