Among the living sons Of sundered
Poland Henryk Sienkiewicz held the
first place. Since the publication OF
his first novel, Fire and Sword the
foremost Of the great trilogy in which
he revived the ancient wars OF Polands
greatness, he has stood as the central
figure Of that unhappy country.
The dead man was best known in
America for his powerful Quo Vadis''
a romance Of the time Of Nero. This
was written in 1896 and aroused an in
terest throughout the world which his
earlier works had not produced.
To the Poles themselves. however.
Fire and Sword" The Deluge" and
PAN Michael"-tales of the Cossack,
Swedish and Turkish invasions OF
Poland-had ever the strongest appeal.
Praised by Critics
These volumes have been translated
into all the languages of Europe. They
have been praised highly by the critics,
but outside his native land they nave
never received great recognition.
The man who reburnished the age
furnished glories Of Poland was born
in 1916, the son of a Polish country
squire. He was educated entirely IN
his native land. finishing his academic
training at the University of Warsaw.
Russia's cruel grip upon the throat
o. his country at that time may have
aided in tanning the patriotism of the
man into fame. Polish was forbidden
in the university. Sienkiewicz saw the
Reign OF Terror in 1859, when blood
ran in the Warsaw cutters and many
who lived through the riots were sent
for life TO Siberia. Following his
course at the university, he led vaga-
bonds life for several years, trsmping
tn ough Poland from end TO end. learn
ing to know his land and her people.
In 1877 he came to America. a mem
Der of the body of expatriated Polish
arlists who attempted to found a col.
ony in California. Helen Modieska
was one of his companions. Upon his
return to his native land he began his
real career.
Received the Nobel Prize
This reached its greatest triumph in
1905, when the Nobel prize for litera
ture was awarded to him. Since the
beginning of the Great War Sienkiewicz
had lived in Switzerland. and from his
retreat there had issued appeal after
appeal TO the world on behalf Of his
stricken country lie was president Of
the General Relief Committee for Vic
tins of the War in Poland and a
friend and fellow worker with Pade-
rewski on behalf of his native land.
Other volumes that have received
less attention from the outside world
have been created by the pen of the
great author. Most important Of these
ale without Dogma" "A Prophet in
His Own Country "Yanko. the Must
cian," "A knight of the Cross" and
"The Third Woman" He was also the
author of numerous essays.

Manager Knause has closed a
contract with Frank w. Campbell,
the star catcher of the Nebraska
State league last year. Campbell
was selected from list of several
applicants for catcher and it is
believed that he will make a valu-
able addition to the local team.
Last year he was one of the lead
ing batters in the Nebraska league,
and has the reputation of being a
good clean man both on and off
the field.
Arrangements are being made
with Pueblo teams for several ex-
hibition games to be played here
during April and the team will
start practice about the first of
the month.

TESTIMONIAL CONCERT
In Honor of Leroy EIser, Rocky Ford $
Most Popular Musician

The recently announced intention on
the part of Leroy B. Elser that he ex-
pected soon to leave Rocky Ford to
make his home in Minneapolis has served
to arouse our community somewhat as
to the loss this will mean to Rocky Ford
and to quicken the appreciation of his
many valuable services to the commun-
ity at large and the many organizations
of which he is member.
His many friends have been casting
about for some fitting way in which
public gratitude for his many gratuitous
services might find expression.
1t had been suggested by members of
the Rocky Ford Music club that II testi-
monial concert could be arranged-the
program to be given by members of
the club-the entire proceeds to be
given over to Mr.. Elser to further con-
tinue his musical studies.
This idea seeming to meet with gen.
eral approval it was decided by MEM
bers of the music club to organize and
carry out the affair and to invite the
cooperation of other societies, and pri-
vate individuals as well, in making the
occasion the success it well deserves to
be.
Mr.. Elser's career as a Rocky Ford
boy, entering our schools at an early
age and graduating therefrom, and sub
sequently taking up vocation in his
home town, is too well known to re-
quire comment other than to remind
ourselves that on many occasions his
absorbing, love for music and his pro-
ficiency in the art have in numerous
ways contributed to social betterment.
A committee representing the music
club and the various organizations of
the city has been selected as follows to
further the success of this undertaking:
Mesdames Van Buskirk, Wolfe, j. E.
Lawson, Hardey, Dent. Greene, Steele,
Joehnck, w. D. Lewis, A. S. johnson,
Glenn, G. P. Randall, Cover, Kellogg,

WAR TRAVELOGUE

Iall Out Large ana NOSt hPP'eS
tive Audience
Iti is not often that Rocky Ford is
given the opportunity that it enjoyed
last Thursday evening of listening to a
talk on the European War by one who
has been in the war zone. The appre-
citation was shown by an audience that
filled every seat in the High School
auditorium to listen to DIR. Ralph Men
delson of La Junta deliver his most in
teresting Travelogus on the European
War.
DR.. Mendelson took his audience from
the port of New York to Serbia, took
it along the Bulgarian frontier, into
Albania and to the front when the Ger
man invasion came. A more vivid
picture of the conditions in Europe was
had than sny amount of reading would
give.
DR., Mendleson went to Serbia with
the American Red Cross and later was
transferred to the Serbian army acting
as surgeon.
Rocky Ford appreciates the kindness
of DIR. Mendleson in coming to our city
and delivering this lecture. We hope
that he will come again.

Held FOR MURDER
Direct Information Has Been

ed to Get" MCGEE
Bob Harris, held by coroner's
jury for the murder of William
MoGee, will be tried in the dis
trict court in Pueblo, as informa-
ton formally charging him with
the crime, was filed by the dis
trict attorneys Office on Friday
last.
A motion for dismissal of the
information against "Nigger Bob"
was made in Judge Rizer's divi-
sion of the district court, but met
with failure.
Attorney John Adams, Harris
counsel, presented the motion
orally, but had neglected to file it
in accordance with the provisions
of the code and an objection to it
by District Attorney John w.
Davidson met with prompt
agreement on the part of the
court.
The motion to quash was based
upon the contention that the dis
trict attorneys Office has no right,
under the state laws, to file n
direct information without first
giving the defendant II chance to
plead in preliminary examination.
81 contend that this defendants
constitutional rights are denied
him when he is refused prelimi-
nary hearing," Attorney Adams
said.
Under the code lawyer is re-
uuired to file notice of the
motion with the district attorneys
Office before getting ruling from
the court.
The verdict of the coroner's
jury, who heard fifteen witnesses
at the inquest in Pueblo last
Thursday afternoon, was that
Harris had slain McGee with
felonious intent.
Evidence was introduced show
ing that McGee and Harris had
quarreled during the afternoon,
that Harris had told McGee that
he was n "bad man and that he
had been i'll serious trouble be-
fore aud that McGee stood no
chance against him.
McGee begged for mercy when
threatened by Harris with a knife,
according to witnesses. They
were separated at that time, but
Harris made threat To get him
later.
Then according to evidence
Harris obtained suit of clothing,
took ii to pawnshop and got 81
on it. lie then purchased gun
aud cartridges with the money
aud returned to the scene of the
previous trouble and shot McGee
down.
Patrolman McClanahan, who
was given much credit by the
heads of the police department
for effecting the capture of Harris
without bloodshed, told of the
trouble at the home, of the shoot
ing and arrest of the alleged mur-
derer.
Harris, upon advice of his coun-
sci, declined to testify.
