Colorado Springs, Colo.-In the 10.
cal county jail Otto Pruess, the Hugo
rancher, who was mutilated recently
by three unidentified men who had
broken into the house to rob him, posi-
lively identified Bert Weaver, a
neighboring ranchman, as the man
who sat on his shoulders and kept
the rope tight about his neck while
another member of the gang did the
work of mutilation and then searched
the house for Pruess' money. Pruess,
still in serious condition, was so up
set by the shock of seeing one of his
assailants that he had to be taken to
a local hospital.

Howard p Drew, Alvah T. Meyer,
Roy Morse and Frank Stephenson are
weil-known to followers of track ath-
letics as four of the best sprinters
ever developed in this country. All
four have made remarkable records
during their careers on the cinder
path and board floor, and all four have
held national championships. The
fieet-footed Drew is perhaps the best
of the four. He formerly competed for
Springfield (Mass.l high school. but
now represents the University OF
Southern California. He is the joint
holder with Dan Kelley of the worlds
record for 100 yards, the time being
.03 3-5 seconds. Drew has excellent
sprinting form and is considered by
many experts to be the really best
sprinter of all times Drew has shown
many of his best performances around
New York and only recently ran the
century indoors in ten seconds Meyer,
for many years mainstay of the Irish
American Athletic club. has been kept
out of running this winter because OF
pressure of business, but he plans to
return to the cinder path next sum-

From its very inception Hobson
City, Ala. with one exception the only
colored municipality in the United
States, has not only demonstrated its
ability to organize and govern herself
but has shown that she can do this
along progressive lines.
In the year of 1899 her small but
spirited band of citizens secured after
no little bit of effort a charter and
was incorporated and organized in the
month of August of that year. In
Guiding immediate suburbs her popu-
lation today shows an increase of $50
per cent. Her citizens are contented,
law-abiding, and as a whole industri-
GUS: vagrants are not tolerated and
are tacitly urged to move on or suit
able work is found for them to do.
She has several public institutions,
among which are four churches-two
Methodist, one Baptist and one Sancti-
fed. with a combined membership of
approximately 500. She is the jealous
possessor of one public school with an
enrolment of some 200. The state
funds appropriated for this institu-
ton. by the way, are. however,
claimed to be inadequate and should
be augmented if copsistent with the
states public school funds. Donations
from private citizens who are interest
ed in educational pursuits certainly
would be appreciated If put in the
hands of this institution. The mu-
nicipality Is free from debt and has
some money in its treasury; it's gu
bernatorial board is elected every two
years. thereby making it possible to
keep this feature of its machinery In
a more healthy and enthusiastic work
ing condition. Its homes are supplied
with electric light and more than half
of the citizens own their own homes.
Admission, city of some 10000 in
habitants, Is located just north of Hob
son City, and is connected with it by
trolley system owned by the Ala
bama Power company, which main
tains a special car for the colored peo-
pie to take them back and forth to
their daily occupations consisting
mainly of public works conveniently
located along the car line. The city
is supplied with good water from the
Admission waterworks. and while the
system is incomplete. plans are being
made to bring it up to the usual state
of efficiency, and thereby insure the
least possible insurance rate and fire
loss. The city has an organized sani-
tary system maintained by the police
department. Its Jail house would be
a credit to a city of double it's popu-
lation-being of concrete construc-
ton, and equipped with furniture and
fixtures to preserve sanitation and
hygiene. 1t has some two or three
grocery stores. owned and operated
by colored citizens 1t has citizens
who produce almost within a stones
throw from $500 to 1000 worth of
cotton and other staple products, in.
cluding hundreds of bushels of
peaches per year. Its governing board
consists of seven councilmen, mayor,

he will make a successful comeback.
Morse, who, like Drew, is a colored
lad, sprang into prominence by win
ming the 220-yard national champion
ship at California last summer. He
has since demonstrated that his
Frisco victory was no fluke by show
ing his heels to strong rivals on
numerous occasions. Morse, a mem
ber of the Salem Crescent A. c., is
only youngster and should be top
notcher for many years to come.
