ARKANSAS VALLEY FAIR
Is Attracting More Attention And
VIII Draw Larger Crowds This
Year Than Ever

Publicity Man Randel reached
Rocky Ford on Saturday and i'm
mediately began to spread the
news that the twenty-fourth an
nual Arkansas Valley fair will far
surpass any of its predecessors in
every successful particular.
Bearing out Mr.. Randel's en-
phatic assertion is the fact that
Secretary Pollock has almost
twice the usual number of book
ings for the speed program and
the exhibit entries in nearly every
department are far in excess of
former years at this time.
Another evidence of the increas
ing popularity of our big fair is
shown by the fact that outside
concession men are this early in
the game contracting for space,
amongst the number being De
Kreko Bros. with eight big shows,
and local people desiring conces-
sions are advised to make their
contracts right away before all the
available space is taken.
A great attraction this year will
be the baseball tournament and it
will be well for our people to
make their grandstand reserva-
tions early, for there is bound to
be greater demand than ever be-
fore for grandstand seats. There
will be six games during the fair
and this means that there will be
five performances before the
grandstand in place of three as in
former years. Both forenoon and
afternoon ball games will be stag
ed each day of the fair excepting
upon Watermelon Day, when the
other attractions preclude the
possibility of getting in game.
The publicity department of the
fair is now arranging for booster
trip by auto to Pueblo on Aug. IL.
Full details will be given next
week, but in the meantime you
should make plans to go.

FLYNN BONNER BOUT
VIII Not Take Place at Sugar City
Is Latest News

The Jim Flynn-Doc Bonner match,
scheduled for Sept. 8, is called off, so
far as the Crowley County Agricultural
Fair association, which was planning to
stage the attraction, is concerned.
This word came over the signature of
r. A. Hamilton of Sugar City, secre-
tary of the association.
The demand of the Pueblo fireman
for 81 900, in addition to the side bet of
$500, is given by Hamilton as the rea-
son for calling off the bout.
The Sugar City Gazette of last week
had the following to say about the
bout:
DOC Bonner and R. A. Hamilton went
to Pueblo yesterday and posted their for
felt Of $500 with stakeholder Sweaney
Of that city for the fight between Bonner
and Flynn to take place on the evening
of September 9th. at the Crowley County
Fair.
This will be the big sport event Of tho
year in the Arkansas valley. A special
train will be run from Pueblo on that date
to accommodate the fans.'

A COMPANY
OF INFANTRY
Is the Latest and Best Move
ment in This City
PUBLIC MEETING
CALLED FOR TONIGHT
When the Benefits. of a Military
Organization VIII Be Set Forth
and Company rlay Be Formed

oho company ray DC TOTIuCu
With view of looking into the
prospects of an infantry company
for Rocky Ford, Col. +. d. Bart
lett, chief recruiting officer for
the state, has spent the week in
the city, and believes that Rocky
Ford offers possibilities for a COM
pany that are great.
Accompanying Col. Bartlett was
W. r. Wright, former well-known
publicity man with the A. B. S.
Co. and now connected with the
Rocky Mountain News. Will is
sergeant of b battery, field artil-
lery. of Denver, and reports:
"All over the state a wave of
military is sweeping. In Denver
the large department stores are
organizing companies from their
employees, and the business men
of the city are joining. Several
towns have requested companies,
and Colorado is undoubtedly on
the way to have its military on an
equal of any state in the country.
The national wave of prepared
ness is having its answer"
The state and government have
offered to shoulder every expense
in connection with a company
here, providing an armory, COM
plete equipment and drill masters.
Added to the military features Of
such company. the competitive
and social features offer wonder
full opportunity.
This friday evening a meet
ing will be held at X. p. hall to
discuss the possibilities, and Col.
Bartlett will present to those in
terested the facts and features of
such an organization. Every
business man and young man of
the community is urged to be
present and hear the discussions,
which will be open, on military
affairs.
The state and government army
officials have expressed keen in
terest in the Rocky Ford possibil-
tiles, and as Col. Bartlett expresses
it, after being in the city few
days: "Ihis city should have a
crack organization. There is no
reason in the world why Rocky
Ford should not have an organi-
zation that will be the envy of
the state. Everything here favors
this-its people, armory possibil-
tiles and spirit"
In the valley at the present
time are located companies at
Fowler, Holly, Lamar and Ord
way. all in hourishing condition,
and the Rocky Ford company will
form a part of this battalion.

PEACE OFFICERS BUSY
Sensational Charges Are Occupying
Attention of Courts

On Saturday last Al Studebaker and
his reputed wife, an 18-year-old girl
named Rosa Pollai, were placed under
arrest, the former being charged with
heinous crime against his eight-year-
old son, and suspicious circumstances
inducing the officers to take his COM
panion in charge.
Before Justice Mahoney of La Junta
on Wednesday evidence was adduced
that Studebaker had cruelty beaten and
abused his little son, and the judge as
sessed a fine of S25 and costs against
him.
Immediately afterward Studebaker
and the girl were given preliminary
hearing upon the charge of adultery, to
which they pleaded guilty and they were
held to the district court under bonds of
$500 each, which being unable to fur
nish will keep them in the county Jail
until court convenes.
Nurse Charges Assault
Robert Gee, the well-known young
farmer, and his mother, Maggie Gee,
were arrested by Deputy Sheriff Stew
art charged with assault with deadly
weapon upon Mrs. Loran Chambers, who
was acting as nurse for Mrs. Gees aged
mother.
Mrs. Chambers, it is said was passing
thru room occupied by Mr.. Gee, when
she stopped to tell him about the old
lady's condition, and while they were
talking Mrs. Gee rushed in and attacked
the nurse. Mr.. Gee, according to the
story told by the nurse, skipped out and
his son appeared on the scene and held
Mrs. Chambers while his mother beat
her up.
The warrants for arrest were issued
by Justice Boney on Saturday morning,
and the cases will be heard as soon as
Mrs. Gee is able to leave her mother.
