Popular Couple
Sterling

Quite surprise was sprung on
their many friends here, when
Roy T. Johnson, prominent at
torney of this city, land Miss Jess
Wilson, one of the most popular
young ladies of this city, hied
themselves away to Sterling last
Saturday afternoon and were
married in that city that evening.
They returned to Julesburg last
Sunday evening, but confided in
none of their friends of the event.
The cat did not get out of the
bag until last Tuesday, when an
account of the affair was read in
the Sterling papers-and they
were made by their friends to
to "fess up" which they did
after some reluctance.
The newly married couple are
very popular young people of
this city, and indeed have a large
number OF friends who wish them
much happiness upon the sea of
matrimony. Mr.. johnson has
been engaged in practice Of law
in Julesburg for the past seven
or eight years, and is one of the
leading ATTORNEYS in this section
of the state. Mrs. johnson (as
we will call her now) is the old
est daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. 0.
P. Wilson, of this city. She has
been the competent Assistant
Cashier of the Citizens National
bank for the past several years
and is we'll known to practically
all of the citizens of this COM
munity as a very talented and
accomplished young lady.
The editor of this paper, on
account of the close relationship
to the bride and long personal
friendship of thegroom, has more
than a common interest in ex-
pressing our heartfelt wishes for
the continued happiness and
prosperity of this popular couple,
who have a host of friends who
will wish them well upon their
matrimonial venture.

ATTENTION TO ALL
ENLlSTINC SOLDIERS

Your attention is directed tn
the fact that all insurance poll.
cies, particularly those recently
issued, require the payment Of
an additional war premium and
permission from the insurance
companies before engaging in
Military or Naval Service.
1t is the desire of the Insurance
Department of Colorado to be of
service in this regard aud l sug-
gest that everyone enlisting for
military or naval service send
their insurance policies to this
department for inspection and
attachment of necessary permit.
These should be sent in as early
as possible end will be handled
promptly and without expense to
the policyholders.

BIG PATRIOTIC DAY.
HELD IN JULESBURG
SCHOOL CHILDREN AND OLD SOLDIERS
MAKE PATRIOTIC SPEECHES

Last Saturday was patriotic"
day in Julesburg and it was one
that will he remembered by the
people of this community for
some time to come. The pro.
gram of the day started in the
afternoon when at three O'Clock
the pupils of the pnblic school
and high school, accompanied Dy
the veterans of the Civil and
Spanish. American wars formed .
line OF parade at the Methodist
church and being led by the
veterans, the parade marched be-
hind "Old Glory" down through
the main business section of cur
city, bedecked with small flags
and emblems.
Those participating in the pa
rade assembled in line at the
corner of the First National bank,
where patriotic songs were sung
and salute to the flag was en-
gagged in. Following this, our
townsman, W. NJ. Labaree, intro
duced Rev. Estabrook, of Denver,
who had been engaged as speaker
for the afternoon. His talk
was an admirable one, full of
patriotism and good logic in view
of the present crisis the people
are facing at this time. His talk
was an inspiration to thu large
number that gathered to hear
him, quite number OF visitors
being present. Rev. Estabrook
made very conservative talk
one that was greatly appreciated
by all those who heard him.

Boys Band Have First
Practice With Leader

The Julesburg band boys had
their first real practice last Mon.
day night at the court house. G..
W. Bunch, the new leader of the
band, was present and started
the boys off in good shape and
all indications point that Jules
burg is to have first class band
after they get the boys in trim.
Quite a number of the boys were
out to practice last Monday night
and it is hoped that all who ex-
pect to play shall attend the prac.
tices regularly. Monday night
has been practically decided upon
as regular practice night.

MAPS AND DATA GIVEN SUGAR
COMPANY OFFICIALS BY JOHN
O. THISTLE; ACTION EXPECTED

erence in the matter and they
have assured the board that they
will make an early reply as to
their decision.
The people Of the territory EN-.
braced by the Colorado Nebraska
Beet Growers Association are un-
animous for the establishment Of
a sugar factory in this section
and every legitimate means is
going to be used to secure such
an enterprise. There is no ques-
ton by what the territory will
more than support a sugar fac
tory, and we believe the Great
Western Sugar company will con-
cede this fact after they have
made their investigation. How
ever, we are sure that We voice
the sentiment of the great major
ity Of the people in the territory,
that they will be content with
nothing less than the advent of
a sugar factory in the early fut-
ure and are going to stand by
the board of control in whatever
negotiations they rightfully see
fit to make.
1t is hoped that the Great
Western Sugar Company will
make a favorable decision in this
matter, and a reply from them in
regard to the matter, is anxiously
being awaited by a determined
and diligent people.

In the evening a patriotic pro-
gram was held at the high school
auditorium in this city. Great
credit is due to X. j. Dobell, who
had charge of the decorations for
this occasion. We have heard
numerous remarks compliment
tary to the tastily decorated audi
torim on that evening-this add
ing much to the success of the
occasion.
The high school auditorium
was filled and q wave of patriot
ism prevailed. Patriotic songs
were sung throughout the eve
ming and very able patriotic talks
were made by John Mellen, pres
ident of the First National Bank; ;
Rev. John A. Long and Rev.
Galley, pastors of the Congrega-
tional and Methodist churches in
this city respectively, and A. r.
Perrier, representing the old SOL
diers, who were present in a body.
l.. R. Goltry, of this city, a
soldier in the war of 81 favored
this meeting with hearty applause
from all. The high school girls
glee club rendered a patriotic
selection which was greatly ap-
preciated by the audience. Mrs.
G. E. Hendricks and Miss Naomi
Frederick presided at the piano
at intervals during the evening.
The meeting was presided over
by president B. d. Parker, Jr., of

FOUR MEETINGS SCHEDULED
BY JULESBURG OIL COMPANY
FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL

There will be a meeting in the
district court room at the court
house in .1ulesburg, on Wednes-
day evening at eight o'clock
April is, 1917, to which all Of
the land owners of the district
are cordially invited to attend.
Mr.. Innes W. Patterson, an oil
expert, will be at the meeting,
and give some Of his reasons for
believing We have all oil field in
the immediate vicinity Of Jules
burg and give all information as
to the form of lease, and what
the development of oil fields
have meant in other districts to
the land owners of the district.
AS the women are interested,
it is desirable that they should
attend and hear what Mr.. Pat
terson has to say, and it is i'm
portant that those attending the
meeting who are. land owners,
should come prepared to decide
for or against, and If thought
advisable to grant a lease OH their
land, do so before leaving, as
Mr.. Patterson says he must know
at once whether all area neces-
sary can be secured or not.
1t is needless to say if We should
realize Mr.. Patterson's expecta-
tions in this valley, it would
mean much to the land owners.
1t is surely worth while to come
out to the meeting and hear what

PATRIOTS OF
OVID HOLD A
BIG MEETING
One Hundred Persons
Gather In Church and
Show Patriotism

Some one hundred of the Citi-
zcns Of Ovid and vicinity gath
cred in the Methodist church in
Ovid on Tuesday evening to hold
a patriotic meeting.
The interior of the building
was tastefully decorated for the
occasion with penants, bunting
and flags. Jas. A. Dawson pre-
sided over the meeting which
was one Of the most enthusiastic,
entertaining and instructive We
have ever attended.
The whole program teemed
with patriotism, the first number
was an instrumental solo by Miss
Eversman; this was followed by
Il delightful and instructive ex-
ercise by the Ovid school.
Miss Laura Alexander delighted
the audience with an appropriate
reading. The song by Emery, a
little tot, was most enthusiastic
ally received. AT this time &.
w. Cannady was called upon and
gave a short but very impressive
talk on Liberty for the World"
Mr.. Dawson then in a most
patriotic talk introduced the
speaker of the evening, Rev.
Estabrook, who gave the audi
ence a three quarters of an hour
address on the duties of an Ameri-
can citizen. Mr.. Estabrook has
given several addresses in this
part of Colorado in the past ten
days, but we doubt very much
if any of them have been more
impressive than this one.
Following this address Rev.
Long led the audience in singing
the "Star Spangled Banner" and
the audience dispersed impressed
with the fact that the United
States is now facing crisis in
which her work as a religious,
patriotic nation will be felt dur
all coming time.

TWO FIRES VISIT
CITY SAME MORN

Last Friday was a busy day
for the Julesburg fire department.
About nine o clock the first alarm
of fire was turned in, the cause
being a hay stack OH fire at the
Robson e. Hendricks place i'm
mediately west of the city limits
of Julesburg. The fire boys were
unable to reach the fire with the
hose, but used the fire extin-
guishers instead. The fire was
caused by the sparks of pass
ing Union Pacific engine. We
are informed that the damage to
the hay is estimated at about
$4,000.
About eleven o'clock the same
morning the alarm Of fire was
again turned in and this time the
fire was at the Union Pacific
round house, the origin of this
blaze also being from a passing
engine. This time the fire boys
brought the fire hose into play
and after the water was turned on
they made quick work of this
blaze and not much damage was
done. 1t would, however, have
been a disastrous fire, had it got
ten much more headway.

ure to prevent an violence which
might occur in view of the pres
ent war situation with Germany.

Big Prairie Fire
On South Table

A prairie fire was started last
Monday afternoon between the
Harry Gilchrist and II. J. Smell
ser farms, about fourteen miles
south Of Julesburg. tits thought
that the fire originated from the
burning Of weeds by one Of the
residents in that section that
morning. The blaze spread over
an area of about three sections of
land and it is hard to estimate
the exact amount of damage done,
but no buildings were burned
although the buildings on the
Gilchrlst and Smelser places had
narrow escapes.
Word was sent to Julesburg
Monday afternoon that the fire
was raging, and a number from
here went out to fight the conha-
grafton, there being over one
hundred persons on the scene
before the blaze was checked !.
1t was thought late in the after
noon that the fire was put out,
but shortly after supper that eve
ming word was sent here again
that the blaze had assumed a new
start and quite a number from
here again went out. Late in
the evening the flames were again
checked after some hard work
upon the part of the fire fighters.

Board of Control of the Colorado
Nebraska Beet Growers Associa-
ton, went to Denver the first OF
the week, for the purpose of
turning over copies of all maps
and data gathered on informa-
ton blanks by the field men en-
ployed by the board, tc the Great
Western Sugar company. At the
conference held in Denver be-
tween the Board of Control and
the Sugar Company officials, the
company officials asked the board
to furnish them with the maps
and the data gathered, that they
might make thorough investi-
CATION and make an early reply
to the board in regard to the
establishment of a sugar factory
in this territory.
The matter now rests entirely
up to the Great Western Sugar
Company whether or not they
wish to further identify them
selves in the territory covered
by the association, by building a
modern sugar factory within our
midst. The people of this terri.
tory have delegated the board of
control of the association to make
negotiations with capital for the

sented the proposition TO the

Fire Starts At The

A fire was started at the O..

last Tuesday morning, caused by
the explosion of a Kerosene lamp
on an incubator. The alarm of
fire was turned in, but the blaze
was extinguished before the fire
boys arrived on the scene. Had
the fire gained much more head
way, it would no doubt have
been a bad one, but it was put
out before much damage was in
