four brothers, besides q multitude of

Altho Fred had not been we'll for
some time, his death came as . shock to
his parents and friends. He was en-
ployed as clerk in q drug store at Nc
Cook, Neb., and in May took seriously
ill Of typhoid fever and was taken to
Cambridge hospital. After he left the
hospital he went back to McCook to re-
sumo work, and not being able to stand

staying about two months he became
discouraged because his health did not
improve and decided to return to Cam
bridge hospital, and after few weeks
returned to Colorado. He seemed per-
fectly contented and made great plans
on farming next summer and being in
the open thus regain his health. Until
within the last two weeks he was able
to be up and take his meals and ride
to town. He suffered no pain of any
kind. Two weeks ago he took to his bed

to his long sleep. His condition was not
thought serious until Tuesday night,

The Keota news., 1916-11-03

There are several candidates, no,
the county should be particularly inter-
ested.
C. r. Graves of New Raymer, run
ming for representative on the republi-
can ticket. is one of US. He has made
good at home and in the last legislature,
and deserves a good, bold cross mark
after his name on the ballot Of every
voter regardless of party.
A. F. Hart of Hereford, democratic
candidate for representative, is another
resident of the dryland country. and
thoroughly acquainted with the inter-
ests and needs of this section and of the
entire county. Remember two are to
be elected to this Office. and to vote for
Hart you must place cross after his
name.
A third candidate from eastern Weld
is George S. Adams of Grover. republi-
can nominee for commissioner of District
No. l. He is an able man and entirely
capable of attending to the somewhat
arduous and exacting duties of this Of
fee.
As sheriff, Samnel J. McAfee has
made good. and the only argument
heard against him is that he has already
had three terms; a fact which really i'm
plies experience, increasing his qualifi-
cations for the position.
]. E. Shook. for county clerk and re-
corder, has held this position four years
and thru systematizing the detail work
of his Office has inaugurated economies
that have saved the county far more
than the amount paid him as salary.
His office has not been an expense, but
a revenue producer for the county, and
this not ~ithstanding the fact that re-
cording fees have been materially re-
duced during his term. He has perhaps
as large personal acquaintance as any
man in the county, is courteous and
obliging. and entirely worthy of reelsc-
ton. Do not leave the election booth
until you have placed your cross after
his name.
For county superintendent of schools,
the democratic party offers one who
has had many years of practical school
experience, and whose standing as an
educator is recognized thruout the state.
A. B. Copeland has worked effectively
to raise the standard of rural schools,
and it is his ambition to give the country
child educational opportunities equal to
those enjoyed in the most progressive
city communities.
The above are candidates whom MEM
bers of all par ties may honestly support,
in the full knowledge that by SO doing
they have properly exercised their suf-
frage right. There are other good men
on both tickets; and the sting of defeat
surely in store for some of them should
be soothed by the thought Of each that
he had . worthy opponent.

This Starts Out Like a
Fake Mining Ad., But 1t
Isn't Anything of the Sort

There is the town of Oatman in the
state Of Arizona
A mining engineer from the west drop
ped into Boston the other day and told
them in the financial district about Oat-
man.
Oatman last May had population of
$50.
The United States government, from
geographical standpoint, reported adj
versely in 1908 upon its prospect as a
gold camp.
But strike was made there last
spring when there was discovered free
milling gold ore averaging S45 to the ton
The stock in the mining company ad-
vanced from five cents to S4.25. or to
over 1000 900 for its 100000 shares.
The mining engineer declared there is
sl2 900 900 worth of ore in sight
That looks pretty good for Oatman,
doesn't it?
An increase in population to 5000 looks
pretty good for Oatman too.
But the mining engineer told them in
Boston that these are not the real inter
esting facts about Oatman, nor the real
golden facts.
Oatman's big talking point is the fact
THERE ISN'T A POLICEMAN IN THE
PLACE.
THERE ISN'T A GAMBLING HOUSE
IN THE PLACE.
THERE ISN'T A SALOON IN THE
PLACE.
THE MINERS, INSTEAD OF SPEND
ING THEIR MONEY OVER SALOON
BARS. HAVE INVESTED 1T, AND
MANY OF THEM HAD STOCK IN THE
COMPANY WHICH STRUCK 1T so
RICH.
Oatman is producing some very rich
men, but mining engineer reports that
it isn't any more the fact that gold has
been struck there than it is the fact that
Oatman is DRY, in the DRY state OF
Arizona.
And the mining engineer further re-
ported to them in Boston financial cir
.les:
ARIZONA is the most law-abiding state
in the union, and has converted me to en-
forced prohibition"
