HEAD WAS FLAT ALI TIME
Piekaninny Surprised Doctor Who
Thought He Was Badly Hurt In
Automobile Accident.

It's wise pickaninny that knows
his own head. A woman was driving
a runabout automobile near Column
bus circle, New York, when a little
negro boy ran directly in front of the
machine and disappeared under it..
The woman stopped instantly, and,
jumping out of the runabout, picked
up the little lad and put him into
the vacant seat. He was covered with
dust and was ominously silent. A POI
liceman came along and got into the
automobile. Just then the colored
lad came back to life.
'Please don't arrest that nice lady,
she amt hurt me, honest" the boy
pleaded. BY this time doctor was
examining the pickaninny's head.
"There's slight depression on the
skull here" said the doctor. 81 find
a flat space about three inches in dia-
meter at the top of the head. Aside
from that | guess he is all right"
Say" said the boy, 81 amt hurried.
Please let me go home" 'T am afraid
your head is hurt a bit, boy" said
the physician. ''No, it amt" pro-
tested the boy, otis always that way.
It's kinda flat on top" And that
being found to be quite true, the boy
was permitted to run along home.

Gunter is that of Charles Glascoe OF
Pueblo, as a member of the state tax
commission. Glascoe has been county
commissioner of Pueblo county for
eight years, and may Be we'll qualified

News must regret that the Governor
has not reappointed DR.. John B. Phillips.
who has held the position since the tax
commission was organized, five years
ago. DR.. Phillips is considered nation
al authority on taxation, and was for a
number of years head of the department
of economics and sociology at the
University Of Colorado. His previous
study, and experience gained as men,
ber of the commission, unquestionably
made of him a logical candidate for
reappointment, whether he personally
desired it or not. Corporation influence,
always strong in Denver, has opposed
him and other members of the commits

COWS LIKE LUXURY


The Keota town cows have always
enjoyed = reputation for their ability
to support themselves, and have even
been accused of developing the dog trait
of scent. They are said to be able to
smell dainty Of any kind at a consid-
cradle distance, and to follow the scent
with accuracy of the mariner steering
by compass. These qualities Of the
cows seem especially welLdeveloped
now. while the new grass is coming on,
and farmers are in the habit of expert
menting with them by occasionally leav-
ing sacks of corn or other feed in their
wagon boxes, without covering them
with barb wire, or posts or something
of that kind. The experiment usually
works. and the farmer experiences the
pleasure of contributing to the enjoy
ment of Keota bovine society. Recently
one of these epicures smelled sack of
beans in a building which chanced to
be open, and in few minutes put three
dollars and twenty-five cents worth
where she thought they would do the
most good. Fearing to founder her
the owner then drove her away; and
the next time he went out to the build
ing she with several of her sisters. was
there waiting wistfully. tho hopefully.
On another occasion one Of the local
storemen fed sack of rice With no i'll
results to the cow that discovered it.
Pigs. too develop like ability in Keota;
and last fall bunch of shoats foraged
so successfully that they were enabled
to visit the Denver stock show at least
a month earlier than is commonly the
case in pig life. One day this band OF
porkers discovered crate Of Holsum
bread at the depot, and when the store
keeper went to get it they showed their
gratitude by every sign in the pig Ian
guage, and offered to sign testimony
that it was the best bread they had
ever tasted.

Blankenship, his employer, Robert Scott, negro, was overpowered yesterday afternoon at the Star Livery stable, corner Twelfth street and c avenue. This morning in Justice Dunlap's court he waived preliminary hearing and was held to the superior court with bail at $500. which he was unable to make. He will be taken to Tombstone to answer to the charge of aggravated assault.
 According to reports of the affair Scott was intoxicated and when his employer tried to get him to go t3 bed, he insulted Mir. Blankenship, who promptly knocked him down. The negro went away and returned i'll q few moments with gun, aimed it at Blankenship. who grappled with him and forced his arm upward, the shot going high in the air. Scott was dis armed and again allowed to go, but instead of leaving went upstairs and in 8 few moments again fired at Blankenship. This time when he was overpOwer he was arrested by city of ticers and taken Co jail.
