YOUNG GIRL is SHOT

According to his own confession
made to Sheriff Lewis Worker,
thirteen year old lad, Lloyd Clouse.
shot and seriously wounded Alverta
Jared on Friday, August 2, using a
% rife. The girls condition is ser
ious and her recovery is doubtful.
The girl was shot while hoeing corn
at the Jared home.
The Jared and Clouse families
reside in the same section about
twenty miles north of Sugar City.
On the day of the shooting Mr.. and
Mrs. Jared and Mr.. and Mrs. Clouse
drove to Sugar City. The Clouse boy
was left at home as were also the
Jared children. the Oldest of whom
is Alverta. After the, parents had
left for town Alverta went to work
hoeing popcorn in a field not far
from the house. Lloy dClouse, ac-
cording to his confession as made to
Sheriff Worker, went hunting with a
rifle. He shot one rabbit and later
came near the field where Alverta
was working. She did not see him,
but he spied her a few rows in from
the edge of the field and drew up
and shot. The bullet passed thru
her wrist on into her body just be-
low the heart and lodged in her book.
She was not knocked down from the
shock and went to the house where
she got the other children and went
to the home of neighbor. Her
wounds were dressed as best as could
be and that evening she was taken to
La Junta to hospital. The bullet
could not be located and later she
was taken back to the Jared home.
How serious her condition is cannot
be determined.
Just what prompted the act cannot
be explained. The boy. in his con-
fession to Sheriff Worker. does not
know why he did 1t, except that he
thought he would shoot in the girls
direction to frighten her. with no
intent to do injury. The case will
come up for a hearing on September
3. Lloyd is not quite thirteen years
of age and Alverta Jared is about
the same age.

Letter From DIR. CLARK

DR.. G. E. Clark who left about

at Camp Green Leaf, Ca, located near
Chattanooga, Tenn. He has written
Sheriff Lewis Worker in which he
states that it is SO hot down there
that a man can be tracked In the dust
by the sweat which drops on him.
He says:

suited an officer the other day and
would not own up to 1t, SO the whole
company was punished. The punish
ment was a march to a town eight
miles away and back again at atten-
tion. without stopping. We marched

hands will swell mighty bad on long
marches. I stood it fine but some
of the fellows couldn't make 1t and
dropped by the wayside. Everyone
was wet with sweat and dust.

mules, half dozen horses and some
trick riding and roping and shooting

Pests Attacking
Beans and Beets

There seems to be quite serious
outbreak of what is being called
Army Worm" in many parts of the
state. This is not the true Army
worm. according to Geo. NJ. List,
chief deputy state entomologist, who
says, regarding 1t:
I'VE have not been able to rear
any of the adults as yet to make
determinations, but think it is what
is commonly called the Beet Army
Worm. This insect feeds upon
large variety of plants and. breeds
especially in uncultivated lands. The
specimens that have been sent in at
this stage of development are about
one inch in length and of light
ground color, mottled with white dots
and with some more of less distinct
yellowish white stripes down the
back. 1t is doing the most damage
to bean, beet and grain fields, es-
pecially where they adjoin uncultivat-
ed lands from which the insects are
migrating. 1t does not feed in armies
to the extent that the true Army
worm does, but may migrate in large
numbers in case there is scarcity
of food.
BEST results in controlling this
pest on such crops as beans and
beets are obtained by spraying with
some Oh the dTSeHlCdlb. on Tie DttlS,
paris green may be used, one pound
to SO or rs gallons of water, or
arsenate of lead, one pound to 40
gallons of water. Arsenate of lead,
one pound to 40 gallons of water
should be used on the beans. Do not
use paris green on the beans, as there
is danger of serious burning. Arseni-
calls should not be used on forage
crops. Where the larvae are migrat-
ing into a field in large numbers,
the poisoned bran mash, as prepared
for grasshoppers, should give salts
faction. This might also be used
in alfalfa fields, but in case there is
much of a growth of hay, it might
be necessary to clip the field.

a Happy: Z Bunch

Some of the boys who left Ordway
recently for training camp have writ
ten the New Era while on the train
speeding along to their destination.
The letter follows:
Enroute to Camp.
Somewhere in California.
August 8, 1918.
Editor New Era:
We take this means of expressing
our thanks to the people who gave
US the cigars. cigarettes and candy
when we left Ordway Wednesday.
We have had one of the finest trips
and have enjoyed every hour of 1t.
There are thirteen coaches on the
train. all pullmans, all soldiers. We
have two coaches of uniformed men
from Fort Logan. Everyone Is as
happy as a lark and hardly anyone
OF us can talk for we made SO much
Nobody in the car could sleep. We
picked up men all the way thru
Colorado and then we moved on, stop
ped one hour in Salt Lake City, and
the way we went thru that town was
on the run. There are over 700 of
US and nearly everyone went with the
crowd. Wherever we went they stop
ped the traffic for us and they could
hear US all over town.
We are going thru a tunnel a mile
and half long now. The Royal
Gorge was fine. We could see Salt
Lake water just as far as our eyes
could carry.
We eat in the diner and they have
two tables full length and we sure
have some time. On the d. & r. c.
they served our meals cold and in
boxes, consisting of two hard boiled
eggs, ham sandwich, one doughnut,
one orange and one banana and a cup
of coffee. Just the same for supper.
dinner and breakfast. On this road
we have a change.
We have just made a complete cir
Gle off of a mountain and around the
valley and under the track to get
down in the valley. We are going
down out of the mountains and we
are surely moving SO If you can read
this letter 1t will surprise us.
We have singing every morning
and night. The Y. M. c. A. furnish
ed us with song books. stationery and
post cards. We crossed the desert
in Utah and then thru Nevada and
made but one stop in wet town and
most everyone got OFF. to look around
We will get to camp sometime to-
night. but hope they don't make us
get off till morning as these are good
beds.
This is surely one happy bunch and
lots of married men too, and maybe
they're happy also. We have all en-
joyed the pine trees and water and
would like to get off and go swim
ming. We must close as our ability
and inclination at literary art is
somewhat poor, but we wish to thank
you, one and all, again. (Just went
thru another of those said tunnels).

Among Exhibitors

Thirty acres of corn, which will
make bumper yield, is a nice piece
of property to have this year, and
A. ]. Clifton, who has a ranch twenty
miles north of Ordway, has such a
crop coming on. A few ears of corn
from his field have been on display
at the New Era office the past few
days and they show what the corn
is on an average. The corn is in
roasting-ear, and the crop is prac-
tically safe now. Mr.. Clifton did
not state what the probable yield
would be but 1t will on all probability
be about the best that has yet been
raised on unirrigated lands in this
part of the state.

20. 1917, yet being under draft age.
He was sent to Camp Kearney where
