Captain Racket
Scores big Hit

The Arvada Dramatic Com.
.pany gave it's first play, under
the present management, on last
Thursday evening in Bank hall.
Nothing but compliments We're
received and it is said that the
acting was the best that had
been pulled off, in Arvada for
some time. The scenery was
appropriate and neat, while the
furniture and stage trimmings
showed it off to good advantage.
'Null's orchestra furnished very
enjoyable music between acts.
Frank Bayer as Captain Rack
ct, the biggest liar unhung,"
looked and acted the part beyond
all reproach, But Wesley More
'land, as Timothy Tolman, the
"henpecked" husband, made the
hit OF the evening, David Lesh-
or, as Uncle Obediah kept the
audience laughing all the time he
was on the stage, while Ceci!
Greene as the father-in- law, took
the part well. Glen Wagner as
the waiter from the Cafe Glori-
ana, acted the part to a "t".
Lena APPEL took the part of the
Captains pretty wife and every
one is agreed that none in Al
vada could have done better.
IreheMurchison, as Mrs. Tolman,
the shrew, added much credit
to herself and the company, while
Ruth Campbell as the maid. took
her part we'll and added much
interest to the play.
In the curtain raiser, Miss
Hazel Shinn and Clifford Null, as
Mr.. and Mrs. Muffet, started the
enjoyable evening off with their
comical act we'll done.
The acting th'uout the entire
evening was a surprise to all and
the ludicrous situations kept the
audience in a constant uproar.
Much credit should be given to
Arthur White, director, Joseph
Munai, adviser and to the man
agement for the successful man
ner in which the production was
staged.
The company has made it's de-
sired repution and is sure Of a
big audience at their next pro-
duction, which is expected to be
somewhat larger and on which
work will begin at once.

A. H. S. Brilliant Hopes Fade

The Arvada High Schools
three basket ball teams went to
West Denver on Friday night of
last week to play off the tie for
Championship of the suburban
league. BY winning the game
they would have had a good
chance for the championship cup
and all their hopes were aroused.
However, in spite of very good
playing, they lost the game and
with it, their chance for the cup.
All Arvada was disappointed when
the result Of the game was made
known. The High School is ex-
pecting next year to make up for
what they failed to do this year.

Aged Pioneer
Lady Passes Out

years old, passed peacefully away
about 2 O'Clock Sunday morning
at the home Of her son, DR.. H.
T. Chinn on Ralston avenue.
Death came to her as she sat in a
chair by the side of her son who
was keeping vigil, knowing that
her hours on earth were num-
bered, She had been an invalid
the past year ard had begun a
rapid decline but a few weeks
ago. Mrs. CHM, or "auntie"
as nearly every one called her,
was one of those loveable char
acters that brought happinesand
cheer to all those about her. She
was reared to womanhood on al
farm near Muscatine, Iowa,
where her parents settled after
their arrival, here from Germany
in 1887, she being three years
old, At the age of twenty-one
she was married to Raleigh NV.
Chinn and travelled with him by
prairie schooner to Colorado, first
settling at Breckinridge, Later
they moved to Golden and four
teen years ago moved to Denver.
and consequently Mrs. Chinn's
younger days were filled with
experiences common to pioneers,
which tried the souls of men and
women alike and stamped the
imprint of character indelibly on
their features and in their &C.
tons.
Having been a pioneeI of Col
orado, she also has the distinc-
ton of being the first white
woman to settle in Summit coun-
ty.
Two years ago her AusbaGd
crossed the river of life after fff-
ty-seven years of marital happi-
ness and since that time she has
made her home with her son, DR.,
Chinn, west of Arvada, and has
patiently but longingly awaited
the reckoning summons to join
her husband on the other shore.
She is survived by three sons
and two daughters, Cuthbert and
DR., Howard 7. Chinn of Arvada,
and Richard CHM of Seattle.
Mrs. Susan Stanhope of Denver
and Mrs. Mary a. Drake of Blue
Rapids. Kansas. Seven chill
dren were born to them but only
five of them survive.
M. P. Chinn. of Burton &
Chinn was a nephew.
The funeral took place Tues
day morning at 10 O'Clock from
the late residence, conducted by
reader from the Divine science
church.
Interment was made in Crown
Hill Cemetery.

From County Exchanges.

The first enforcement of what
has heretofore been a farce law
was made Tuesday, when Judge
Jameson, of the county court,
fined Leonard Boat, a Morrison
saloon keeper, $25 and costs, for
selling liquor to an habitual
drunkard. In passing Judgment
on the case, the court made the
statement that he wished it was
in his power to inilict a greater
penalty. The complaint was
made by two ranchers above
Morrison, who are brothers-in-
law, to the man who obtained
the whiskey. They had tried
repeatedly to break the man of
the drinking habit and, it is said
that several times they had warn
Boat not to sell him liquor.

ing yet held by the Arvada Com
mercial Club and the citizens of
Arvada, was held last Monday
evening when the town hall was
crowded to its full capacity with
citizens who want to see a Dry
Climate Auto Tire Factory locat-
ed here.
President Juchem called the
meeting to order and Secretary
Arthur E. White read the min
utes of the previous meeting,
which were approved.
]. F. White, chairman of the
building committee reported that
the Arvada Land Company had
donated the entire block of 81
lots without reserve, to the COM
pany for stock, to be used as a
building site, or if not, he felt
sure that the lots would be turn
en- into the company just the
same, if some other location was
selected.
He pointed out the advantages
of such an institution to the town
of Arvada and urged that the
business men make a special eff
fort to take stock. as it would
undoubtedly be means of bring
ing them rich returns. He did
not urge large amounts. but
enough to show their good faith
and good will.
Arthur White then told the
club of a conversation he had had
with an auto tire men in Denver
who is connected with one of the
largest rubber manufacturing
concerns. Mr.. White was told
that there was every reason why
an auto tire factory here, virtu-
ally in Denver, should be a good
thing to invest in. He pointed
out that the Goodyear factory
was promoted fifteen years ago
by Mr.. Goodyear, who at that
time had no money, but to-day is
a multi-milIionaire and that many
men who invested at that time
in stock in his company are
wealthy men to-day. He states
that the demand is so great that
big concerns are kept busy TAX
ing care of their orders and are
not worrying about the lesser
companies which are all manu-
featuring tires and selling them
and making money.
1t was then proposed that they
start the ball a rolling by each
one who would putting his name
down on the subscription list for
so many shares of stock.
In a very short time nearly
10000 shares of stock had been
subscribed by the business men
present.
1t is not necessary for the En-
terprise to elaborate upon the
great advantages to be gained
by factory of this magnitude
to the people of Arvada. There
are many ways in which all will
be benefited. The business
institution first of all will reap
. great increase in business from
the start, as everyone in town
who wants to work will find en-
ployment, and the cash VIII be
spent with the merchants here.
The history Of these factories
10 that they bring q high.class
set of men, not an illiterate class
but men who build fine homes
and take an interest in the towns
in which they are located.
Then the vacant houses will be
filled up with good tenants.
Mr.. White stated that Mr..
Clark had communicated with
him before leaving for Wyoming

An answer was filed in the
county court Saturday to the
complaint of Chas Mccall against
w. w. Wilmore. Chas. Easley,
Frank Morris, Paris Lewis and
w. II. Light. 1t appears that
the men interested in The Peo-
pies Press. paper that did more
or less Furnishing here a few
years ago, needed money to keep
the press going and borrowed the
sum of nine hundred dollars.
The note for the amount was
signed by the individual men,
bers and not as company. Judge
Mccall paid the note and now
brings suit against the five men
for the nine hundred. In the
answer, filed by the defendant
attorneys, j. w. Barnes and w.
A. DER, it is set fourth that the
plaintiff agreed to assume the
note, following the payment of
all debts of the company and the
turning over Of the plant to him.
1t is alleged in the answer that
the outfit was sold TO A. G.. Dob
bins and later a. j. IIoar became
its owner. Many interesting
features will probably be brought
to light in the trial Of this case.

CUNNERS CAN TELL
KIND OF SHELL FIRED
Many Saved by What Is Call
cd ARTILLERY Ear"

Berlin.-The war has developed what
might be termed an artillery ear"
especially among the soldiers In this
branch of the service, which enables
them to judge accurately what kind
of shell Is being fired at them and
whether or not II Is aimed at their bat
terry or at some other spot. Many lives
have been saved by this gradually de-
veloped oral alertness.
The artillerist explains an officer who
has been I'm the field for months, is
able almost ~instinctively to tell wheth-
er n shell IN headed for his battery or
not. The men have learned to pay
not the slightest attention to a shot
that gives Off the peculiar sound indi-
eating that 1t Is aimed at some other
battery or position. Because OF the
confusing noise OF the artillerist's Owl
battery the squad tending IL usually
IN divided into two groups, one OF
which listens for the shells OF the OPP
ponents and gives the warning to dive
for the shelters back of the guns. The
men learn to talk with pauses between
each word. listening meantime for the
~telltale whistle Of the dangerous shell
Only In the case of the small field can
non, fired at a range of, say, 1000
yards, Is 1t impossible to hear the shell
in time TO dive into the security of the
sheltering understand" Those shells
have reached their mark about as soon
as the sound of their discharge.
The twelve centimeter. fiat trajectory
guns, ON the other hand, give just
enough warning so that the men can
make one dive. There isn't n frac-
ton of a second to be wasted, but by
quick action the artillerist can save
himself. The big howitzers, however,
give nearly half a minutes warning.
As the officer puts 1t, one can hear the
shells from these guns and still cut Off
a slice of wurst and take n swallow
from ones field bottle before seeking
shelter. The shelter In this case must
be a genuine shelter, consisting Of
about three layers of heavy wood and
two yards Of earth and stone, else the
