EDUCATOR FIGHTS BOOZE
School of Mines Professor Says
Liquor Is Obstacle to Efficiency

Golden, Colo, June 27-Horace B.
Patton, Professor of Minerology and
Geology of the Colorado School of Mines
and one of the best known public men
of the state, is taking active interest in
the movement to free the state from
the domination of the brewery corpora
tions.
1t is asserted among educational
circles that by reason of the domination
of the city's affairs at Golden by Coor's
brewery the school of mines has not
Jared as well as it might; that Golden
is saloon ridden to such an extent that
parents are unwilling to send young
men there to be educated. The decent
element of Golden is so stirred over the
existing conditions of affairs that they
propose to do all they can to make the
state free and their city clean.
Professor Patton is at the head of the
campaign committee in Jefferson County
advocating statewide prohibition, and
he has given out statement in which
he says:
1.-The time has passed when there is
any reasonable ground for the oft re-
peated assertion that statewide pro-
hibition is a failure. believe that such
law can be enforced in this state as
well as any other statute is enforced.
'.From personal observation, l have
come to the conclusion that very great
change-of sentiment. favorable to the
abolition of the liquor traffic, has come
about within the past two or three
years among business men as well as
among aaboring men.
"As an educator have long realized |
that liquor has been one of the greatest |
obsticles to efficiency in our higher ed
ucational institutions. !

recognition for the band from the
music committee of Elks in Denver and
that the Arkansas Valley band would

sion over the Moffat road on Friday,
July II. This excursion covers what is
usually referred to as 1.-The Switzer-
land of the west and reaches the
highest altitude ever reached by any
standard gauge railroad.
1t is well known that this band is
made up of picked musicians from
Lamar, Fowler, Ordway, Sugar City
and this city, and while it has been in
existence not quite year it is consid-
cred and spoken of as Colorado's
premier musical organization. 1t
shows what. cooperation brings about
The musicians collectively are proud, of
their achievement and feel that they
have as manager one who does
things. While Mr.. Rhodes is located
temporarily in Denver, ere long he ex-
poets to return, as his money is invest
ed in the valley, being the owner of
fine irrigated ranch close to Sugar
City.

NEW SAVINGS
ACCOUNT CERTIFICATES

The Commercial Bank of Ocala
has just received a lot OF engraved
certificates of deposit to give their
customers when deposits are made
in their savings department.
The certificates are engraved and
are very handsome. On the face is
the usual form of certificate for time
deposits and each has four interest
coupons, one for each quarter Ger
tificates are numbered consecutively
and the coupons bear the same num-
Der and in addition the certificates
are numbered from / to A. The GER
tificates are payable on or after
January, April, July and October
and at due date become a check on
the bank for the amount filled out
when the certificate is issued. AT
the end of year from issuance of
the certificate it is taken up and an
other given, for the interest bearing
coupons only cover one year to each
certificate. On the reverse side the
coupon certificates are numbered
also from ! to 4 and there is place
to endorse or surrender the certffi-
cate, as in case of transferring for
the entire amount, or TO hypothecate
it if loan is desired, in which case
the certificate would be attached to
the note and the customer would not
forfeit the interest on his certificate
The certificates are signed by the
cashier and president of the bank
the interest coupons by the cashier
only. These certificates of deposit
will be very convenient for the
| banks customers and keep the ac-
counts in fine business-like shape I"

BLOOD WILL
CRY FOR VENGEANCE
Body of the Murdered Ranchman
Brought by Unknown Friends
Across the Border

Laredo, Tex, March 9.-The mu-
tilated body of Clemente vergara,
Texas ranchman, was secretly
brought to the American side of the
Rio Grande in the early hours of
Sunday morning, establishing the
fact of his execution after he was
seized by Mexican Federals
Departing as silently as they had
crossed the river, the men who dis
inferred the body from the Hidalgo,
Mexico, cemetery and bore it five
miles over rough trail to Ameri-
can territory left no trace of their
identity. American Consul Garrett,
of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, and Capt
tain J. j. Sanders, of the Texas
Rangers, were the only persons on
the American side who were told
what had been done They were not
informed. they said. until after the
body had been brought across the
river. They went to the scene,
forty-five miles up the river from
Laredo, found the body as they had
been told they would, and tonight
had it brought to Laredo pending an
examination which the state will
have made.
Vergara was shot twice through
the head and once through the neck,
his skull was crushed as by a blow
from a rife butt, and the charred
fingers of the left hand indicated
that he had been tortured before be-
ing put to death
Identification was made by the
dead mans son and by numerous
friends. The body was not badly
decomposed. despite its three weeks
burial, and in addition to recogniz-
ing the features, young Vergara took
bit Of cloth from the trousers
which enclosed the body and match
ed it to the coat which his father
had on the day he crossed the Rio
Grande.
