SEASON TICKETS
MAY NOW BE HAD
Seven Full Days of Entertainment
for Only 81, the Greatest chau-
tauqaa Bargain Ever Offered

The ticket committee for the
Rocky Ford chautauqua is this
week busily engaged in distribu-
ting the season tickets that must
be disposed of under our contract
and from reports that are already
coming in it is practically assured
that the progressive citizens who
are backing the chautauqua will
not have to be called upon to make
up any deficit. .e,
The enthusiasm of local chau-
tauqua workers is being aroused
by the eager response of the pub
lic-that apparently knows we
have a chautauqua bargain in get
ting fourteen entertainments from
the very best talent in the country
for the small sum of $2-and they
optimistically declare that it will
not be necessary to make boost
ers trip to assure the success OF
the coming chautauqua.
But in order to give our friends
in the neighboriug towns an op-
portunity to participate with us in
the most enjoyable seven days of
entertainment and instruction
that will take place in Rocky
Ford beginning two weeks from
today, trip is being arranged for
the near future when literature
advertizing our big summer chau-
tauqua will be distributed and a
cordial invitation extended every
one to come and spend the week
with us.
Amongst the inspirational lee
turers this year is DIR. Hagerman,
who we fortunately have with US

Elaborate arrangements had been
made by the people of La Junta for the
care and entertainment of the visitors
whom we all delight to honor. and every
person speaks in terms of highest praise
of the hearty welcome and gracious
treatment extended.
Amongst the most enjoyable numbers
on the entertainment program were ad-
dresses by Governor Carlson and Con-
gressman Keating, baseball game be-
tween the Rocky Ford and La Junta

STOLE wIFE'S CLOTHES

the middle of June, 1t seams that Henry
and his wife have not been living very
happily together and Mrs. Henry decided
to try it alone and went to Rocky Ford.
She later agreed to come back to her
husband if he would pay up his debts.
This he tried to by paying Mrs. Henry's
father some money which he owed him.
1t is said that the father objected to the
daughter again taking up her husband
and gave her the money paid him by
Henry if she would agree not to live with
him again. This, it is said, angered
Henry. and he went to the home of his
wife in Rocky Ford. where he is alleged
to have stolen clothing and articles pur-
chased with the money above mentioned
A warrant was sworn out for his ar
rest and he was located by the marshal
Of Rocky Ford and locked up.
The hearing in Justice Teter's court

ROCKY FORD, COLORADO, FRIDAY, JUNE IL, 1916
NEARLY ELEcTRocuTED
Rocky Ford Youths Come in Contact
with Live Power Wire and Are
Severely Shocked

An experience with electric ''juice"
that probably could not be repeated
without fatal results was that which
befell Harry Barnes and Harold West
upon fishing trip last Friday after
noon.
In company with George Hammond,
young employe on the Potter ranch,
the boys were on the way to the fish
ing grounds when in crossing the cleo
tric line conveying power from the
main Holbrook line to the motor of a
nearby pumping plant young Barnes
slipped upon the muddy ditch bank and
to keep from falling grabbed the live
wire with both hands. In attempting
to free his comrade from the wire
young West took hold of it with one
hand and Immediately was rendered
powerless to release himself.
Young Hammond at once realized the
perilous position of his companions and
seizing hold of Vests clothing he pull
ed until he got him loose. He tried the
same method with Barnes, but was un-
able to release him from the wire until
West had recovered from the shock
sufficiently to lend his weight, when
they managed to break the boys hold.
Blood was flowing from young
Barnes mouth and nose and he was un-
conscious when released. A physician
was hurriedly summoned from this
city, but the young fellow was on the
way to recovery when the doctor ar
rived.
After rendering emergency treat
ment the doctor brot the boys to town,
when it was found that West had
escaped injury, but Barnes was quite
severely burned about the hands, arms
and neck. After days rest the
young fellow was able to be about
again, and he is now reported to have
completely recovered from the shock.
1t was at first believed that the boys
must have grasped an uncovered wire,
examination showed that it was well
insulated, SO the only reason that can
be assigned for the accident is that the
insulation had become water soaked
with the constant rains and it was vir-
tually "live" wire when grasped by
the boys.

A few years ago DIR. Hagerman
lectured in Ames, Iowa, to the
college students one Sunday after
noon. Then, as usual, he seemed
to reach the very hearts of his
hearers. Immediately after the
lecture, one of the boys in writing
to his mother said:
81 wish you could have been at
chapel this morning and heard
DIR. Hagerman's sermon. He was
Just immense!
"Why don't more of our minis
ters preach the practical kind OF
religion that he does? DR.. Hag-
erman even laughs and jokes a
little, and tells what he has to say
in such an interesting way, that 1
will remember what he said long
after 1 have forgotten him."

HERE'S NEW VIGOR FOR
OVER WORKED STOMACHS

Fisher Bros. the popular druggists,
have been in the drug business long
enough to have their own opinion of the
best way .of selling medicines. They
say the plan adopted by Mi-o-na, the
great dyspepsia remedy, is the fairest
they have ever heard of. They don't
believe that medicine ought to be
paid for unless it does the user some
good. And Mi-o-na is sold under q
positive guarantee to relieve dyspepsia
or refund the money. You simply leave
so cents on deposit with Fisher Bros.
and if. after you have used .the box of
Mi-o-na you decide that it has done you
no good, all you have to do is to tell
them SO and they will return your
money.
Hundreds of people have been relieved
of stomach agonies by using this re.
markable remedy. 1t is not simply q
food digester; it is a medicine that puts
all of the digestive organs into normal
condition and gives rudy, glowing,
vigorous health. A change for the bet
ter will be seen after the first few doses
of Mi-o-na, and its continued use will
soon give the power to eat anything at
any time and not suffer distress after
ward. Use Mi-o-na and see how much
more there is in life. Fisher Bros.
