NEW RAYhER WELD COUNTY. COLORADO DECEMBER 5leIs
DAYS OF
WAR SORROWFUL

The last days Of the great war,
seem to have brought most OF the loss
pain and suffering to the boys that
went from Raymer.
We had Just been rejoicing over the
sad Tbs: not one NJ those credited T.,
tn Raymer precinct was known to
have suffered any wounds or death
while in the service OF the country,
thefe came word the first of the week
that the record had been changed.
VIII Kinerslow's name is reported
to have been given in the list OF dead
in the Sunday papers.
Mrs. S. A. Smith received card
Monday morning saying that Clifford
had been wounded and was in the
hospital, This card was dated Nov.
5th, and Tuesday she received a ca
blegram saying that he was seriously
wounded. Mrs. Smith is of the opin-
ion that he is getting on and being
wounded may soon be on his way
home.
Another rumor, but which we have
not so far been able to trace to its
source, is that Melvin Thomas has
had one leg shot so that he will lose
the member. also that an arm was
badly broken and that this limb too
may be taken OFF.
A rumor has also been current that
Earl Cox was missing. but this cannot
be confirmed
These different rumors should soon
be either verified or denied.
When it comes to per centage of
loss, the American army has suffered
very lightly, but that is small eonso-
lation to those who have been bereft
OF friends, or to those who are called
upon TO face Lie crippled or manned
The debt We owe to these boys and
their relatives will not be forgotten
by a world that has been freed from
the menace OF the victorious Germany
bullying shrinking world.

LEWIS FINED $500.
6 MONTHS IN JAIL

Harry Lewis who was with Chick
eres when the latter was killed. was
fined by Judge Ewing $500. and CIV
en- six months Jail sentence.
Lewis had testified that he got $50
for his assistance in bringing the IL
quor to Denver, so the trip was not
a very profitable one for Lewis.
Some had thought that Lewis
could not be convicted ON the evil
dence given. but the court seemed to
think otherwise.
Judge Ewing imposed several SEN
tences OF Imprisonment on the same
day on Denver parties who were will
ing to pay the fine. but objected very
much to prolonged stay in the coun-
ty jail For the man who has the
money. the Jail sentence seems to be
the one that has its terrors for the
admirals Of the booze sqadrons.

Information received by the commits
sioner, this man after signing the Pc
tition for the state road and grant
ing the right OF way through his
land became angry at something and
put a strong wire fence across the
highway. using nve posts in a dis

sort to law, as no person Is allowed

IO ALL COUNTY FOOD ADMINlS-
TRAITORS AND DEPUTIES:
We have just received a wire from
Washington ordering all restrictions
on the sale OF sugar rescinded, which
means that consumers can buy sugar
in any quantity without restriction.
This also means that hotels, res
taurants, boarding houses and other
public eating places may put sugar
bowies back on the tables.
Mr.. Hoover wishes to impress up
on the public that while the enforced
regulations are taken off, voluntary
saving is just AS necessary as ever
and leaves II up to the American peo-
pie to save enough food-stuffs to feed
the starving peoples OF Europe.
Circulars will go out tomorrow to
all eating places and retailers with
this information.
