NO TRACE OF RoBBER
Since He Made a Successful Getaway
After Assaulting and Robbing
Girl In Her Home

Notwithstanding the fact that the
police were on the hunt within an hour
after the robbery and have kept it up
ever since no trace has been found of
the bold bad burglar who last Thurs
day night assaulted and robbed Miss
Laura Swink, and there is now little
hope that the desperate will be appre-
hended.
The robbery was perhaps the boldest
that has ever been perpetrated in this
city, but the nerve of the burglar was
equalled by that of his victim, and
only his superior strength was respon-
sible for the manner in which the
story ends.
In company with her mother, Mrs.
Cora Vallandigham, and a young man
friend, Miss Swink returned to her
home about 7:30 o'clock on Thursday
evening. She entered her home alone
while the other occupants of the car
drove down town to make some pur-
chases. Upon entering the house Miss
Swink discovered man in her bed
room going through the dresser draw
ers.
She spoke to him and getting no
reply started to leave the room, when
the fellow seized her and lively
struggle ensued in the course of which
she got a hold of the man by one wrist
and bit it till Che blood came. This so
maddened the thief that he struck her
cruel blow rendering her unconscious,
and she was just recovering when her
mother returned.
A hasty search revealed the fact that
the thief had got away with about $40
in cash and some jewelry and the police
were at once notified of the robbery,
which was perpetrated by tall dark
man, dressed in dark suit and wear
ing tan shoes, according to the de-
scription given by Miss Swink.

CHANGE LOCATIONS
Business Places Contemplate Nov
ing Around Considerable In
the Near Future

With the completion of the new
Byars-Hale building at 305 North Main
street there will be an era of changes
such as has never before been record
ed in this city, and when completed
the old resident who returns after a
few weeks absence will imagine him
self in strange city when he goes
looking for the old familiar signs.
The first move will be that of Miss
Ella Cline and C. o. Clark, who will
move their millinery and music stores
into the new building.
Following upon this change H. A.
Overbagh will move north one door
into the building vacated by Miss
Cline, and C. A. Aulgur will set up his
tonsorial parlor where Mr.. Overbagh's S
mems furnishings used to be. leaving
the Elm avenue barber shop to be oc-
cupied as wareroom by the Guynn
Mercantile Co.

Black and Clark will be occupied by
! by C. j. Cleveland with clothing
store, and this will stop the changing
around as reported to The Enterprise.

HOG CHOLERA CURE
"On the Hog" From Canon City
Seems to do the Busi-
ness

The following from the Canon City
Record is given our readers for what
it may be worth:
1T seems certain that Joe Heaven
ridge has a hog cholera cure that
will do the business and do it quick
ly and well.
While the cure has just passed its
experimental stages with the people
AT large it hasn't been an expert
ment with, Joe for good many
years. He has cured hogs with the
medicine which he compounds for
thirty years or more.
He is just placing il on the mar
ket. He calls il "On the Hog or
Cholera Put us on the Hog" and
it has done the work around Canon
City in great shape.
William Green, better known as
Billy" who has charge of the live
stock at the penitentiary, tried it on
some hogs that were down with the
cholera and about which all hope
had been given up. ''On the Hog
did the business in great shape and
brought the hogs up in short order.
Mr.. Stevens at the County Farm
had about the same experience. His
hogs were sick and he didn't know
what to do about the. Mr.. Heaven
ridge was over there and was told
about them. He said he would no,
give the medicine to the hogs until
one of them died because it might
be said if he cured them, that prob
ably the hog didn't have cholera at
ter ALL
In a few days. after that one oi
the hogs died. Mr.. Heavcnridge
was called over to the farm. He
gave the remaining hogs a dose oi
his medicine and in a couple OF days
they were sup again. They were
dosed, every ten days for about a
month and are now in fine shape.
"On the Hog" is said to act as a
preventative as well as a cure il the
directions are strictly followed. The
medicine must be used properly in
order to do effective work.
Mr.. Heavenridge is shipping his
medicine all over the west and mid
die west. Iowa farmers are holler-
ing for it.
Mr.. Heavcnridge has a good thing
and he intends to make the best oi

SUGAR FACTORY
CAMPAIGN IS ON
Auspicious Start Was Made
on Monday Morning
OUTLOOK FAVORABLE
FOR GOOD LONG RUN
Will Be Profitable to All Inter-
ested In Big Plant

The 1914 sugar making cam
paign at the Rocky Ford factory
of the American Beet Sugar Co.
was inaugurated at I o'clock on
Monday morning.
This years campaign started
most auspiciously, with everything
about tine big factory in perfect
condition by reason of the sum
mers grooming, and since the
opening everything has continued
to move without Il hitch. AL
ready the men and machinery
have struck their pace and in
each twenty four hours close to
1900 tons of sugar beets are dis
appearing within the huge nav,
to appear again as the finished
product that is one of the most
important factors in Colorado
commerce.
A steadily increasing supply of
beets is being brought to the fac
tory and several dumps and the
growers are waxing happier with
each succeeding day because of
the increased tonnage and sugar
content, which this season of sun
shiny days and cool nights is
bringing up until the tests show
that the average percentage of
sugar is likely to break all records
this year.
With the average yield per
acre known, together with the
tests of sugar content to show the
value of his beets, the grower is
now enabled to make close esti-
mate of crop returns for this sea-
son, and in every case they are
proving very satisfactory.
The weather prospects are also
very favorable, aud combined
with the opportunity afforded of
SLIDING at the company dumps,
the outlook for harvesting and
marketing Il most profitable crop
of sugar beets was never brighter
in this section of the Arkansas
Valley.
Approximately 2T5,0o0 tons of
sugar beets will be ground by the
Rocky Ford factory this campaign,
which means that at least one and
a quarter million dollars will be
distributed TO the farmers of this
section by the American Beet
Sugar Co. In addition to this
amount about S250,000 will go to
the half-thousand hands that help
to feed the great mills giant NAV,
so that it may be said that the
fifteenth annual sugar campaign
at the Rocky Ford factory will
bring to our people one and n
half million dollars in good hard
cash.

Die IN state Historical Sociei
is ASSURED
Stock for Rocky Ford Plant
Has Been Subscribed
LOCAL COMMITTEE
WILL SELECT SITE
And Look After Building of Plant
Capable of Taking Care of Product
of 5000 Cows


Farmers and business men were
out in numbers to the meeting
held last Saturday afternoon un-
der the auspices of the Otero
County Agricultural association
and as result of the enthusiasm
shown the establishment of CO.
operative creamery with capacity
sufficient to care for the product
of 5000 COWS is now an assured
fact for Rocky Ford.
After the meeting had been for
mally organized by the election
of G. J. Cover as chairman and
J. l.. Miller as secretary, the prop
osition of organizing co-opera-
tive association to build, equip
and operate large modern cream
cry was explained in detail by
E. W. Wray, representative of the
Hastings Industrial Co., who pro-
pose putting in the plant. He
told Of the actual cost of building
and equipping plant such as
that proposed for this city; of how
his company would operate the
factory for one year and guarantee
handsome dividends to the stock
holders: of the assured income
that would accrue to every owner
of dairy cows through the ready
market for their butter fat, and
the consequent advantage to stock
holders who were assured of a
splendid home market for every
pound of good butter that could
be produced. Mr.. Wray had his
audience thoroughly enthused be-
fore he got through, 80 that the
creamery committee would have
found no trouble in disposing of
one-half the original number of
shares, but the speaker stated that
the required number had practi-
cally been subscribed, and now all
that was necessary was to get
busy Oh the factory building and
rustic sufficient dairy herd to
keep it working.
President West of the Otero
County Agricultural association
stated that although no special
effort had lately been made to-
ward securing cows, the creamery
committee had definite promises
OF at least six hundred and this
number could easily be trebled
when the creamery was assured.
Other speakers who had sound
ed the farmers about keeping a
dairy herd when former project
was under consideration express
ed the opinion that two thousand
head of COWS could be contracted
to supply the creamery by the
first of the year., and with the in
crease that was sure to follow the
establishment of a modern cream
cry they believed that factory
should be built to care for the
product of 5000 cows.
A unanimous vote of the meet
ing-which was composed almost
exclusively of stockholders in the
proposed cooperative creamery
elected c. J. Cover as chairman
of the association, and he was en-
powered to select from the men,
bers an executive committee of
three to assist him in selecting a
site for the building. This COM
mittee will also inspect all mater
ial that will be used in the con-
struction of the plant, will super
wise the construction and make a
thorough inspection of all machin-
cry that is used.
Mr.. Cover will make a careful
selection of the executive commit
tee, and it is believed that work
can be begun on the plant in sea-
son to have it ready to begin the
making of butter by the first ol

vent business being transacted
when his faction didn't want the
particular business transacted; and
likewise he knew just how TO use
those same rules to force business
through-when his side wanted it
forced. He was one Of the lumi-
naries of the Senate and of TIE
country's public life; not because he
knew or had ever contributed any
thing important to the public policy
Of the nation during his long
service, but because he had been q
Senator so long that he had to be
taken seriously.
On that occasion, however, he
failed to get taken seriously. When
he had finished a new Sena tor, who
had been governor of a progres sive
State for two or three terms, and
had made himself an authority on
modern penology through his expert
ence in passing and then administer
ing a code of State laws On this
same subject, arose. He was a new
Senator and it was presumptuous in
him to speak; but he spoke. He told
briefly and pointedly just what he
knew about the subject in hand; and
when he sat down st the end of .
few minutes he had given about as
complete a demonstration as the
Senate had often seen, of the danger
of ignorant arrogance entering into
controversy with intelligence.
Yet the veteran Senator, a fine
type of his kind, was o"t' entirely
to be blamed. His business as
United States Senator had not re-
uuired him to be familiar with such
subjects.
Likewise the business of Congress
in general does not require and does
not particularly promote intelligence
on the local and municipal problems
with which Washington is concerned.
That is why Washington manages to
be so much of the time behind the
procession of modern governmental
methods.

change for what we took from them
or what we owed to them.
Suppose in this war, aside and
apart from the usual international
trade, we sell an extra billion dollars
of supplies, and because Europe
can't give us products and can't give
US gold to cancel that billion dollars,
we take for them a billion dollars of
our own securities. With that billion
dollars of mobile wealth we shall
have restored to the United States
the ownership of a billion dollars of
fixed wealth. We shall have trans
lated forty or fifty or sixty million
dollars year-the returns from
those securities-from the pockets
of foreign people into the pockets of
our own people.
We don't have to worry about gold.
1t is true that in the twelve months
ending with September we lost about
$118,000,000 in gold, that being the
difference between the precious
metal we sent beyond our boundaries
and took in. But there is more gold
in this country today than there is in
any other country in the world. No
body can say exactly how much
there is, but anybody can be sure
that there is not less than a bill
lion and half coin gold alone in the
Treasury and in circulation.
And if we never get another dol
lar of gold from the Old World, we
have constant supply to call upon
here in the New World. For many
years we ourselves have been pro-
ducing mere than ninety millions a
year of gold.
In the calendar year of 1911-the
latest for which statistics are avail
able for all the New World-of the
$461 100000 of gold produced on the
whole earth nearly $147, 100000 was
produced in North America, Mexico,
Central America, and South Amer
ica. Our production was $97 900, 900,
Canada's was nearly $1O,OOO,OOO,
Mexico's was nearly $25,0O0,000 and
the rest of the Latin-Americas was
more than $15,O00,000.

Thinks Police Overactive On Ninth
Street,


To the Editor Of the Mail Bag:
Why does Major Sylvester want the
young men and boys of Washington
paraded down Pennsylvania avenue in
a police patrol and held on the corner
of a prominent street by three or four
policemen on charge of unlawful as
sembly?
I was one of the nine or ten who
were arrested Saturday night. I was
with a friend of mine and while walk
ing down Ninth street l met two boys,
relatives of mine, at d street. We
stepped up against the building to for
mulate our plans for an evening pleas
ure, but before we had been there five
minutes we were seized by three police
men, marched down D street to Eighth
and there IN the midst of big crowd,
awaited the arrival of the patrol.
None of our party is loafer on
Ninth or any other street. One of the
boys is from Alexandria, one a student
of Georgetown University, one prin-
ter. and the writer Is also a student
at Georgetown.
1t seems that, IL a person meets a
friend on the street, he Is compelled,
to escape the humiliation of being ar
rested and having a fine imposed for
unlawful assembly, to go into a saloon,
a picture show or take car and go
to Forest Glen or some suburb to have
little chat
l do not believe that the young men
of Washington should be forced to suf-
fer the penalty attached to this un-
reasonable police regulation. y
