Funeral services for Harry Collins
were conducted on Tuesday of this
week and interment made in Lake
View cemetery of this city. Rev F.
w. Pimlott, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church, delivered the fu-
nearl sermon which took place at
about three O'Clock in the afternoon.
Harry Collins is survived by ia
ther and mother and three brothers,
two of them, Arthur and Bryan, re-
side at home, the third, Lewis Col
lins, resides in Missouri. He came
to this state from Missouri about two
years ago and located with them on a
homestead in the Sunny Slope dis
trict northwest of Ordway. He taught
school last winter at the Cudaby
ranch and made good record as
teacher. He was of quiet dispo-
in fact he came as nearly having no.
enemies as one could have. Physi-
cally Harry was in good health but
light in weight and small in stature.
He was a very studious young man
and had taken up school work as a
chosen profession and was making
rapid advancement in the work.
Almost from the time he came to
Ordway he served as the New Era's
correspondent in the Sunny Slope
district. Many times he was in the
Office making visit on most every
occasion he had to come to town.

To Improve Ranch

r. A. Bahr, who recently purchas
1u the 121 acre McNulty ranch of
l.. D. Price, has given the place the
name of The Bahr Ranch. This pro-
perty has been known to some as the
Crowley County Stock ranch and was
sold few months ago to Mr.. Price.
Mr.. Bahr and has wife came here
from Iowa Falls, Iowa, and are great
ly pleased with Colorado and especi-
ally with this immediate locality.
They plan to make their ranch, which
is already one of the very attractive
country places, a modern dairy and
stock farm home. The ranch now
has a stock reservoir for general use
and Olney Springs water piped into
the house. They Will make the resi-
dence modern by the addition of bath
and toilet, with hot and cold water
and the addition of electric lights.
Mr.. Bahr states that he is going TO
erect a silo and put in some choice
dairy cows and also raise hogs. The
ranch is admirably suited for this
purpose. His location is a mile and
half west of Ordway on the Colora-
do-kansas boulevard.

who was also employed in the hay
fields here. MFR. Jennings stopped at
his place with his family and Bryan

Trucker, Accused of Starting Fire, Not Criminally Responsible MANY CARS IN DANGER
Stanley Works and Hanson Brothers Lose Shipments in Freight Yard Fire-Blaze Probably Started by Cigarette-No Hydrants Nearby.

Unable to get sufficient evidence to warrant prosecution on the charge of criminal carelessness, Grand Juror M. A. Norton last evening ordered the release of James Sheriden, a trucker at the transfer station, who is be- lieved to have been responsible for the fire yesterday afternoon which destroyed a freight car and it's con- tents, causing considerable monetary damage, and threatened to communi- cate to other cars in the yards con- taining valuable shipments. Con- signments of high explosives which were on the sidetrack at the trans fer station were in danger for a time from the flames and had it not been for quick work on the part of the switching crew and the efficiency shown in the fire drill of the em- ployes, a serious confiagratiOn might have resulted.
 While Sheriden confessed to have been 'stealing' a smoke in the car and to have surreptitiously thrown a lighted cigarette among bales of scrap cellulo:d when the checker in charge of the gang with which he was working detected him violating the rules, no positive evidence could be secured to prove that the blaze had it's inception from this source. Neither was there anything to show that the man deliberately caused the fire. < Prosecutor Norton decided that the case would be one for the civil rather than the criminal courts and he ordered the release of the pris- oner after Investigating the circum- stances attending the fire. sheriden has no property and the only satis- faction the railroad officials to get from him was to discharge him. He had no objection to this proceeding and he left town.
 Sheriden5 with some other truckers was engaged in filling the car. As celluloid scrap was among the goods being transferred the men were or dered to refrain from smoking. The foreman of the gang discovered sher- iden puff1ng on cigarette while the work was in progress and he or dered him to stop.
 The butt was thrown away and in a few minutes flames were seen shooting from the door of the car. During the past few weeks the trans fer station employees have been prac- ticing a fire drill for emergencies of this character and when the alarm was sounded the truckers quickly re- moved the bridges" placed between the platform and the car and closed the doors to prevent the flames from communicating to the contents. There were eighty-f1ve cars open in the

Champion Heart Breaker of Gene tery Lane in Limelight.

Champion Heart Breaker of Ceme- tery Lane in Limeight.
 Alexander Zueski is some popular with the women, has winning ways and is no dead one," even if he does live on Cemetery Lane, according to complaints received at police head quarters. Thursday night Mary Zef- eski of the same Cemetery Lane ad- dress as Alexander calls home com- plained that she gave him $22 under wedding soon with her as the blushing bride. She wanted the $22 back as she understood that Alexander's love had cooled and he had another girl on Broad street. She was told that the police department is no collection agency and that there could be no ac- ton unless she brought a charge of theft.
 Last night Rosie Murzen of 29 Gem etery Lane, friend of Mary and also a boarder at the same place with her and where Alexander formerly called home, paid a visit to police head quarters. She accused Alexander of having broken open the trunk in her room, appropriating SIS and leaving the city. According to her story she did not loan the money. Now the po lice are on Alexander's trail but have been unable to find him. They have been led to believe that he has left the city.

 While the mercury hovered from six to ten degrees below the zero mark, it was alleged, the animal was given no shelter and was in danger of freezing to death. Constable Down ing was Investigating the complaint during the day.
 The attention of the police was called to the complaint after one of the Italians neighbors had searched in vain for a humane agent for a number of hours. Since F. B. Newton and George s.
