POSSE STRONGER

AS nearly as could be learned at
iTayson, the whites have been rein
forced from the nearby settlements
nd ranches. j was stated that the
posse. originally outnumbered by So
to &c. today was stronger than the
band of Indians.
II was believed that both the origi-
nal party Of Indians with Use Ne-G CAT
and the detachment known as Posey's
band, which came to the relief Of
Tse-Ne-Gat after the battle began
yesterday, had been cornered in Cot
tonwood Gulch.
So far as could be learned at Gray
son there were no more casualties af-
ter the fighting in which ]. c. Akin
Of Dolores, a member Of the posse
and Jacks Brother" and an uniden-
titled girl, Indians were killed and
several wounded.
To Repair Wires
A telephone message received from
L. B. Reed, cashier of a bank at
Grayson advised that nothing definite
had been reached there today from
Bluff He said the telephone wires
which were cut by Old Possey's band
Of Indians yesterday between Bluff
and Grayson were still down, but that
the repair men were expected to re-
store connection. He said that there
were enough men in and around Bluff
to defend the town. but not enough to
cut off the retreat of the Indians if
they should try to escape to the hills.
A special dispatch to the Desert
Evening News dated last night at
Grayson reports that twenty nine men
have left Monticello, the county seat
of San Juan county to reinforce the
posse at Bluff.

FARNLERs WEEK
TO BE Feature at State University
Open 20 All

You are not too old TO go to col
Iege. There Is one school that you
can still 90 to, even tho you never
went to any other. You can take
your wife, son daughter, grandson,
son-in-law, or sweetheart too, IL you
! like. Farmers Week held at Column
bus, January 81 TO February A, will
give you five days of instruction on
any subject of farming that you may
want. Sixty popular lectures, many
demonstrations and moving pictures
all combined into three session FIVE
day course will provide instruction
on every phase of agriculture includ-
ing poultry culture. soil fertility, ap-
pie growing, livestock raising and
dairying.
Farmers Week is the dream Of
President Thompson of the Ohio
State University who wants to give
the farmers of Ohio chance to at
tend the university which they sup
port. He has excused all classes
maintained for the instruction of g.
900 students in engineering, medi-
cine, education, pharmacy and law
so that the farmers can come to col
lege. Practically all the buildings on
the campus of the university, costing
S5,000.000 will be utilized for the
event
1--WE want you to come because we
have the best program possible. The
farmers made Farmers Week the
biggest event for boosting agricul-
tural conditions in Ohio last year
So we have decided to offer double
the advantages this year. Now you
cannot afford to stay away" says
Clark S. Wheeler, Director of eXten-
sion work at the university who is
in charge.
1t is open to old and young. Last
year a man of 8S sat beside boy of
12 at the lectures. No expense is
attached to the lectures. A note book
is all that is needed. Farmers
Week has been arranged so that
many farmers could leave their farms
during the slack season. The men in
charge guarantee that the results of
the information gained at Farmers
Week will mean hundreds of dollars
in the next few years to every man
who attends. Write for a complete
program.

a six-mile tramp. There was some
thing in the air; thought it was snow.
There seemed a terrible silence over
the whole woods when Billie left at

him alive. "Good-by, Uncle Sam!" he
shouted from the hill as he waved mis-

He stopped at the Widow Jones

made him drink cup Of hot coffee,
which she and the kiddies were hav-
ing at breakfast. Then he told her
about the Christmas he expected to
spend at home. He was just bubbling
over with joy, and the widow started
to cry. At Christmas she said, the
thoughts of the ones that are departed
are green in ones memory as the
holly leaves that grow on the holly

"'Then Billie tried to comfort her,
and asked her why she was crying.
She said that her kiddies wanted to
know about Santa Claus because the
Paxson children, who went shedding on
the hill, told them what Santa was
going to bring them, and they asked
their nav when Santa was coming to
them. She told them that he wasn't
