the agent by the railroad company
to handle the vast amount of business
transacted here.
Today Julesburg is inhabited by a
progressive people who take pride in
civic improvements and in making
business and social environments the
best. 1t has been found that the CO.
operative spirit brings the best results
and this has been an important factor
in bringing about rapid growth of
the town and community. The Jules

Woman's Club are two active organi-
cations which are responsible in .

along progressive lines pertaining to
the welfare Of the community. Jules
burg offers many opportunities to the
investor, home-seeker and to those in
search of health. Surrounded as it is
by the fertile lands of the South
Platte valley, it can be readily seen
why the town has grown from a stage
station in the early fifties to a sub
stantial town of 1900 inhabitants, and
increasing rapidly both in population
and industry, coincident with the rapid
development Of Sedgwick county and

class of citizens organized themselves
into a vigilance committee and. by
their just, but necessarily severe YER

of these lawless frontiersmen, and a
peaceful government was established.
Those were truly rough, wild and
exciting days when the early history
of Julesburg was in the making, and
no one would recognize in the quiet,
law-abiding and progressive spirited
Julesburg Of today, one which was
known years ago As the desperado

Julesburg is naturally proud of her
progressiveness as town, having
during the past ten years maintained
a municipal electric light and water
plant. The water is supplied to the
citizens for domestic and fire pur-

ty court house. This tank has a ca
pacity of 100000 gallons, and is 115
feet above the ground, which gives
the water static pressure of fifty
pounds to the square inch in all parts
Of the town. This water is supplied
by the town to the consumers at
nominal cost. Five miles of pipe

the town. The water is obtained from
a depth Of forty feet below the sur

Every town and community has its
history, that we are willing to concede,

has brought forth volumes and VOL

The town of Julesburg derives its
name from the fact that Frenchman
named Jules Reni was tied to a post
and shot 70 pieces BY .desperado by

the 1O5th anniversary of the emperor's

January 20 that Napoleon began his

storming at all the borders Of France.
At Brienne, where he had been taught
the grim science of warfare, he at.
tempted to cut the Silesian army In
two by suddenly interposing his forces
between those of Schwartzenberg and
Bluecher, the object being to prevent
their uniting. Almost on the same
