land, Saturday morning and all
the neighborS were called in to
help find a supposed assailant
upon the person of Frank Swift,
%, a trusted employee Of Mr..
Beach, who has been with him
the past eight months.
For the past week strange
things had been happening about
the Beach farm. First chicken
thieves attempted to raid the
place but were scared away by
Mr.. Beach before they succeeded
in getting any chickens. How
ever four were found in a bag in
the weeds. Next a threatening
note was found in the bunk
house where young Swift slept,
warning him to go away from
the place or he would be shot.
He expressed alarm and showed
the note to Mr.. Beach. Again
other notes were found of athC
same threatening nature unit
Mr.. Beach began to think that
some person really had design.

he had learned to depend upol

Monday night for its regular
monthly business meeting. May
or Davis was in the chair and all
members present except Trustee
Nolan, whose resignation was
received and accepted and R.
Sanderson was elected by the
board to fill the vacancy.
H. J. Juchem addressed the
board with reference to A. H.
Barth's sidewalk on Wadsworth
and Ralston and the streets and
alleys committee was authorized
to meet with him and adjust
the matter of grade and irriga-
ton bitches. etc.
E. l.. Newcomb, secretary of
the school board and Chester NJ.
Lawrence, treasurer, were pre-
sent with regard to the sidewalk
on Adelaide Street, to be laid by
the school board. Mr.. Newcomb
pointed out that on account of
the irrigating bitches being so
high and running along the
south side of the primary school
grounds it would be impossible
to put the sidewalk down to the
grade established by the engineer
and that it would require steps
down on the east side to connect
with the grade of the walk al
ready in along the M. E. church
property.
A. j. Miller of the Wadsworth
Ditch Company who was present
and Trustee Gorich, also one of
the directors of the ditch COM
pany and a member of the town
board. were inclined to think
that the town board, the school
board and the ditch company
could get together and change
the course of the ditch so that it
could be carried thru the front
of the school grounds and also
on the north side Of the grounds
thru large tile. This would
serve many useful purposes, as
it would safeguard the children
on the play ground, make it pos
sible to open the alley, which at
present is almost impossible, and
at the same time permit the side
walk to go in with much less ex-
pense and conform to the uni
form grade. 1t was thought
that each should bear one-tnird
of the expense.
w. P. Greene also addressed
the board on behalf of the Pres
byterian church and his brother
c. P. Greene with the object of
taking steps to open the alley
thru from Grandview to Adelaide
between the Presbyterian church
and the M. E. parsonage. This
has long been a bone of conten-
ton and has been held up by the
trustees of the Clear Creek
Grange. The Grange owns the
land thru which the alley must
run and also extending a few
feet beyond the proposed alley.
The M. E. church also owned
the same number of feet, but in
order to straighten out the tan
gle very magnanimously gave

the front gate apparently quite
excited. The window of the
house was broken and bullet
hole was in the wall inside. The ,
young man claimed he had been
inside when the bullet came thru
the window and struck the wall.
He then Immediately returned
the fire and followed his assaiant
firing as he ran, but when he
got to the gate he found his gun
was empty and returned for
more shells. Mr.. Dennis then
asked to see his gun and found
it was not empty, and Mr.. Beach
had heard four shots in rapid
succession which did not tally
with the story that he had re-
turned for shells and fired them
after first firing from within the
house.
Mr.. Dennis then requested him
to copy one of the notes that he
was supposed to have received.
While the original was an attemp-
ted disguise many letters were
the same, and the sheriff accused
him Of having done all of the
shooting and having written the
notes to himself. He made a
strong denial at that time. but
both the sheriff and Mr.. Beach
were convinced of this at the
time, and the next morning he
made a full confession to Mr..
Beach and his wife and was
, very pcnitent over his misdeeds.
He said he did not know why he
had done so and as he has since
been very much worried over it
Mr.. Beach is at a loss to know
what to do in the matter as in
: all other respects his condnct
v has been far beyond reproach
y and he is inclined to think the
young man must have been labor
ing under temporary mental
T. alteration due possibly to the
u sad news of the serious illness
e of his favorite aunt in Kansas,
e who has practically been mother

the remnant across the alley to
the Presbyterian church. The
Clear Creek Valley Grange Trus-
tees are not inclined to be so
generous, preferring to sell the
land needed to the town. The
town board feels that in the in
terest of the public the Grange
organization should be as liberal
and public spirited as any other
organization or individual, and
especially as it is the only access
to the rear of the grange proper
ty from Grandview Avenue. If
this should be closed the grange
would be compelled to enter
from the front. across the side
walk. The town board claims it
would be a benefit to all concern
ed and are anxious to see the
alley opened as other alleys have
been, without purchase from
the town. A committee will
wait on the Grange Trustees,
hoping that an amicable arrange
ment can be made. If not it is
likely that condemnation pro-
ceedings will be instituted.

Officer 666 at the Denham

A change from romance and
royalty of the seventeenth cen
fury. to the practical merriment
of the twentieth will be in evil
dence at the Denham next week.
There is shown the wisdom of
Manager Woodward. He varies
his programs. He gives drama,
comedy, romantic tragedy, and
riotous farce in quick succession.
He makes his appeal to all tastes.
He creates the broad smile, as
well as draws the tender tear.
The audience at the Denham is
never bored by repetitions or
with one style of Theatre enter
tainment.
1t is the jolly American farce
that follows on the heels Of Eng

Secretary l.. f. Crawford of
the Arvada Dry Climate Tire
Manufacturing Company moved
his office equipment out Tuesday
and will now transact the bust
ness from the local office.
The plant is still being rein
forced by additional equipment
preparatory to starting in full
operation about the first of next
week. The big transformers
for the electric power were re-
ceived this week and have been
installed so that the power can
be turned on at any time. Up to
the present time, while there
was sufficient power to turn the
machinery by the use of the bor-
rowed transformers, it was not
strong enough to carry the load
for grinding the rubber and roll
ing out the fabric under heavy
pressure.
Another vulcanizer is being
added and this one is being set
up on end in the ground outside
the main building and an extern
sion will be made of the building
to cover it.
Mr.. Fields the building super
intendent is still busy making
drying racks and has also enclos-
ed the tube machines in dust
proof room On the south side of
the building.
! Mr.. Clark has given it out
that the whistle will blow prob
ably next Monday morning when
the work of making tires will be-
gin in earnest. Of course these
delays have caused some to be-
come impatient, but for those
who have been watching the
operations the delays are fully
justified and everything points
to better preparation for TAX
ing care of big business.

HIS SUMMER
 OUTING
How He Saved a Girl From
 Drowning.
By ESTHER YANDEYEER
SYYYVYYvYvYVVYVVvVVvYVVV

V. '
 On Lake Winnepoge in New EnglanC is a camp where in summer several hundred girls of all ages from twelve to twenty are cougregated. They are housed in bungalows and eat on q long, broad portico, an extension of the central building, and dance in a hall built expressly for that purpose and for sundry exhibitions. There are rid ing masters and swimming masters which of course involves horses and paraphernalia for bOth-and canoes aO ubitum. A number of tennis courts complete the equipment for summer exercises.
 Camp WOcomoc is located on one end of the lake, which Is several miles long and from a half to mile wide A newcomer is not allowed to go out in a canoe until she can swim cOntinu, ously a certain distance and keep atoat for fifteen minutes. Having passed this test, she may thereafter go canoeing at her pleasure. She Is not hampcrcd with skirts, for every girl must wear the camp uniform-a blouse, bloOmeI knlckerbockers and stockings to the knees. This dress is also worn by the ladies in charge, and when they arc short and fleshy it gives them an ap pearance of q waddllng fat hen. AS to the young ladies in camp costume, they all look about the same age-thnt is, anywhere between tweITe and fifteen.
 Nicholas BrewertOn, a young lawyer of promise. having worked very hard during the winter till late into the spring, inquired of friends in New England for a place to spend a few weeks where he could be quiet. There must be no hotels, no casinos, nobody, in fact, except himself. The best that could be done for him was Lake Winne- poge. The person who recommended it-a Miss Webster-forgot to say any thing about the girls camp. It may be that she left 1t out of her description of the location intentionally, thinking that the sight of young girls paddIins about in picturesque costumes would be a pleasant sight for the young man She may have had sinister inten- ton. Be this as 1t may, the young man was recommended to go to Lake Winnepoge, but to the other end from the girls camp.
 Beaverton went to Lake WimnepoEe and found at the end where he had been advised to settle several cottages. one of which was to rent, After learn Ing that the occupants of the others were couples with small children who desired quietude he took the vacant cottage, getting his meals at farm house near by. There was q rowboat in an outhouse which was rented with the house. Being settled, Beaverton prepared to live an uneventful life and rest
 But man proposes, God disposes."
 One mornlng-the next after his ar riyal-Brewerton got out his rowboat and started out to row lazily on the lake. It was Q beautiful summer morning, and the hills on one side were reflected In the water Light clouds foated above as indolently as Brewer ton fioated on the lake. He was much nleased that his was the only boat within sight. Truly this was just what he had come for. He thanked in his heart the lady who had recommenA' ed 1t.
