CHAMPION SETTER Is DEAD.

Roy . General FavOrite.

The death of no other dog could have
caused moro general regret in the ken
mel world than that Of A X. Hooley'S
great setter Champion Mcahowvicw Rob
Roy. The peer In his class, Rob Roy
had gained a place in the affections Of
show frequenters and his appearance in
the ring was a feature AZ any fixture.
The loss Mr.. Hoolcy suffers financially.
though this amour is considerable, IL
insignificant compared with the actual
loss he feels in the passing of an old
pal-a companion for whom through
long association lie had formed an in
delible attachment.
The numerous inquiries about Rob
Roy's condition Iuring mis- illness and
the many expressions of sympathetic re-
greet which have been received since his
death attest to the popularity the cham
pion enjoyed among dog fanciers. Mr..
Hooley has recently disposed of the main
part Of his extensive kennels, and al
though he is still vitality interested in the
welfare of the setter II all be some time
before he will fnd II dog that will take
the place OF the dead champion in his
affections.

place on last Saturday night The
high schools of Lamar, La Junta and
Rocky Ford contested and the cham

won both Of their debates. Lamar only
had one team this year which was
composed Of Miss Maude Wright,
Ralph TRAILER and Richard Merrill.
They were coached by Miss Bess Chap
pell who accompanied them to Rocky
Ford last Saturday, and it was largely
through her efforts that they made
such a good showing. In each of
these contests the opposing team
picked both the question and the side
they preferred to defend. The honors
were therefore fairly won.

gored him twice and catching him on
his horns threw him clear over the cor
