A letter which was addressed ITO
the Pro Bate Guge of Trego co kan
was safely delivered to yours s.trulie. -
One OF the ares saw fit to freight"
about '.hur'' interest in certain es-
tate, there being some talk of an eff
fort to ssSeteln it among .stheir
Selves. - This beats the "Public
George" story which was started on
our honorable court few years ago.
Thirty-six marriage licenses were
sold in Trego county in the year 1914,
which is about one every ten days.
Ministers and magistrates wax fat
and roll in wealth on account of the
marriage feesl
And the lawyers must get whack
at the easy money somewhere along
the line, of course. During the year
1914. one breach of promise case and
five suits for divorce we're filed in the
district court of Trego county
1t is an old saying that as the days
begin to lengthen the cold begins to
streng then but so far this season it
has worked the other way in this part
of the country.
A sign on the depot in Wa-Keeuey
gives the elevation of this town as
1920 feet above sea level. This is
erroneous as that is just about the
elevation of Russell, sixty miles east
of us. The general government
authorities say that the elevation of
our station is 2456, and the bench
mark on the top step at the west
door of the ceurI house has an eleya-
tion of 2463 feet.
The average rise in elevation from
Kansas City to Denver is between
seven and eight feet per mile but the
railroad elevations at different
stations vary considerably from the
average. Ellis, being down in the
valley of Big Creek, the rise from
that place to Ogallah on top of the
ridge is 25feet per mile. From Wa
Keeney to Voda it is IL feet per mile,
but from yoda TO Collyer only feet
per mile

NOTED JURIST
Spends Sunday In This City with His
Mother and Relatives

Judge and Mrs. H. p. Burke were
down from Pueblo and spent Sunday
with the formers mother, Mrs. Clara j..
Burke. In anticipation of the judges
visit all the relatives hereabouts-con-
sisting of the Burke, Elser, Robins and
Slane families gathered at the Burke
home, 8O5 South Fourteenth street. and
spent a most enjoyable day with the
Judge, who is past master in the art
of entertaining a crowd.
Just now Judge Burke is more in the
public eye than any other jurist in Colo
rado, thru his connection with the La
Veta murder case, on trial in Pueblo.
1t speaks very highly of Judge Burke's
reputation for fairness and impartiality
that he was called to preside at this
trial, which grew out of the Southern
Colorado coal strike. Further evidence
of the popularity of this eminent jurist
is supplied by the fact that eight coun-
ties of the state are suffering court de-
laws because of the long drawn out
process of getting jury for the La
Veta case. These include the six
counties in Judge Burke's district-who
will accept no substitute for "the man
from Sterling" -Huerfano and Las An
imas and Pueblo counties, the last
named having postponed its docket for
the term.
From the present outlook Judge
Burke may be able to spend many Sun
days with his mother, as the fourth
week of the La Veta murder trial is
nearing its close and jury has not
been secured. OF the zi0 peremptory
challenges allowed-12O for each side
155 have been used and only ten juror:
had yesterday been accepted out Of
total number of 800 talesmen drawn.

THOUSANDS OF OKLAHOMA !
HORSES FOR WAR ZONES

Oklahoma City. Okla, July Ia
Since the beginning Of the war in
Europe horses have been shipped from
the stockyards here for use in the
armies to the number of 25,S32, being
1886 car loads. Other stockyards in
other states have been sending horses
TO Europe during the last year in com
palatiye numbers, according to the
animals available in contiguous terri
tory Buyers from France have been
taking most of these animals, but
Greece and Italy have also been in the
market The sum Of nearly s5,0O0,00O
has hcen paid for horses shipped from
this city. According TO recent statis-
tics, the total supply of horses in the
world is about S0,O0O0OO. OF these
less than one-fourth are fit for the
duty that the war imposes. The fig
ures give to the United States about
21.000,Q00 and to ussia a like number.
Argentina has about S,50O,0O0,
AT the rate the warning nations are
absorbing the horses that are avail
able, il is to be seen that there is an
inevitable shortage of horses in sight
for the next few years. This means
probable high prices for horses and
mules. 1t is said that the average life
of a horse on the battlefield is only
three DAYS.
