County Judge J. c. Horn sitting as
the judge of the juvenile court has
been hearing evidence most cf this
week in the cases Of the boys ar
rested on charge Of committing var
ious robberies. The boys all plead
guilty and threw themselves ON the
mercy Of the court, and Judge Horn
has been endeavoring to sift the mat
ter to the bottom and get the truth
separated from the mass Of petty
gossip and outrageous lies that have
been peddled broadcast from Lamar
and growing to perfectly ridiculous
proportions by the time they reach
neighboring towns. The court has
been assisted earnestly in THIS work
by the parents Of the boys and by the
boys themselves. In fact the boys
have turned over stuff to come of
our merchants which they never knew
they had lost. After a thorough in
vcstigation Judge Horn took the ease
under advisement and today called a
meeting of the business mon ard ask
ed for a free expression Of their
views. Several Of the most prominent
business men responded and displayed
a very broad minded liberal senti-
ment. They all seemed to dcGire to
have the best interests Of the boys
and the community given first con-
sideration. Judge Horn then gave his
views and handled the situation in a

Fires

On Tuesday evening a fire broke
out in the D. B. Novels feed yards
just north of town and burned out
all the pens, sheds, fences and a con-
siderable quantity of feed. The cause
is not known. There was considerable
wind at the time and it was only
through hard work on the part of the
fire department and citizens that it
was prevented from spreading and do
ing considerable damage. Later in
the night similar fire broke out at
the +. j. Wagner feed yards east Of
the sugar factory and did a large
amount of damage

New Hay Delivery Methods

The d. A. NJ. & p. Co. is making
arrangements to revolutionize its
methods of securing delivery Of hay
to its various mills the coming sea-
son. Yards are being established at
all important stations on the A. v.
branch line where there are no mills
and hay will be delivered at these
yards to be shipped to nearest mill.
A new hay loader has been invented
and perfected by citizen of Hartman
which will load two wagons, one at
each end of a stack, in a few minutes
time, and these machines with trac-
tors to haul the wagons will make the
problem of marketing the hay much
easier handled than it has been the
past season. The company has al
ready bought ground and commenced
work on its yards at Hasty and Chan
ming and more will follow.

Coming Home

The Colorado national guard is
among those ordered home as soon as
transportation car be secured. They
have been ordered mustered out at
Fort Russell, Wyoming, but an effort
is being made by the state to have
the mastering out take effect at the
rifle range at Golden so they will be
nearer home. The return of the last
of the guard marks the end Of the
greatest farce in American history.
One bandit chief crossed our border
line and attacked town and murder
ed a number of people. In addition to
our entire available regular army one
hundred and forty thousand rational
guardsmen were called out, Mexico
was invaded, over seventy million dol
lars were spent, a number Of Ameri-
can soldiers killed, and Villa is still at
large. AS the American soldiers re-
tired Villas army followed and oc-
cupied their quarters. Now that the
guard is coming home he announces
that he expects soon to make another
attack. No wonder Germany is not
sitting up nights worrying about our
declaring war.

Small Cyclone

tore up outbaildings and sheds, scat

other damage. 1t followed up the
valley doing more or less damage
all along the line and reached the May
Valley mill where it tossed sheds and
hay stacks all around. 1t tore a
stable up and scattered the pieces all
over the prairie without so much as
scratching a horse that was standing
inside it.

Spite Articles

There is an old adage with regard
to the kind of a bird that befouls its
own nest, and the man who has been
sending the stories from Lamar to the
Pueblo Star-Journal and the Denver
Times is certainly that kind Of a bird.
In order to crafty personal spite at
one or two men this correspondent is
willing to defame his own town by
publishing broadcast the most outrag-
eous lies The condition here is ser
ious enough as it is, but to grossly
it and ring in names of
those absolutely innocent, and make
the parents the most prominent fea-
ture of the article is an outrage and
