Sport In Haiti.

Boosters that crow night and day
and have no sense of proportion at all"
is the way William Almon Wolff de
scrlbes Haiti's only fowl of any i'm.
portance, In an article In Golfers. In
addition he accuses them of not being
educated, like the mass of the popu-
lation,' and Of being ignorant of the
fact that a cocks business is to let
an unobservant world which wouldn't
notice the phenomenon itself. know
that the sun has risen.' "When ii
comes to cock fighting in Haiti,' Mr.
Wolff writes, "the rooster plays a very
important role. Sunday afternoon Is
the great time for that" he says, "and
all day Sunday you may see sporting
Haitians going about with a gamecock
or two under their arms. There are
two rings In Port au Prince; thousands
Of men gather there every Sunday af-
ternopn and bet on their favorites.
Haitian cockfighting is not q very bru-
tai affair; the birds aren't spurred. 1t
is the custom for the owner OF the los
Ing rooster to cry quits before much
damage Is done"

WILL ORGANIZE
FIRE COMPANY

The past week has seen some de-
velopment along the line Of securing
fire protection. The speed has not
been such as to make one dizzy, but
there has been something done and
that is hopeful
The council meeting Monday even
ing entered into an arrangement
with Mr.. McQuown to pump and test
the old railroad we'll.
This proposition is not entirely
satisfactory, but It appears to be
most promising for an economical
supply OF water that viii be sutIi
cient.
In addition to the above the Com
mercial Club has taken up the matter
of organizing II fire compan" to have
charge of the chemical engine and
be ready for an emergency.
Mr.. McQuown was appointed to
organize a company and to have sew
eral parties instructed in the mode
of operating the chemical so that 1t
could always be ready for use and
some one on hand with knowledge OF
how to get the work out of it.

TUESDAY AUG. 10
CLEAN UP DAY

At the meeting of the Commercial
Club Tuesday evening it was decid-
ed that in order for Raymer to be in
style we should have cleanup day.
This idea was not born OF any sug-
gstion that the town needed any
cleansing. but it's considered the pro-
per thing to observe clean up day in
all progressive towns, and Raymcr
is going to be in line and go thru
the motions OF cleaning up next
Tuesday 1t has even been suggest
ed that we should let it be under
stood that from now on the town
will clean up once year whether it
needs 1t or not.
A few are taking advantage of the
action of the Commercial Clubs sug-
gestion and cutting weeds and gath
ering tin cans.

Raymer lost the game with Kim
ball at the Bushnell tournament last
Saturday. Bown and Gotfredson
were out of the game. and Turner
went in at short and travelling man
took the 3rd sack. With two of
Raymer's star players out of the
game, the balance seemed to let up

made more errors than scores and
Kimball won easily.

FARMERS MAY BUY
DENNY FLOUR MILL

The Pawnee Elevator Company
will consider the matter of buying
the Denny Flour Mill at special
meeting Of the company called for
Saturday, August 23, at 800 p. IN.
The Touring mill has been doing
good business since it was cstab-
lished, and has been considerable
factor in the development of the
town.
Mr.. Denny has found the business
very satisfactory, but desires to re-
turn to his old home in one OF the
eastern states and has offered the
mill for sale.
We do not know how profitable
the business has been, but Mr.. Dem
ny is willing to demonstrate that the
business is profitable one.
The farmers and business men will
all be anxious that the mill continue
and that it is in the hands OF man
or organization that will render good
service to the community, that is
that will be satisfied with reason
able profit and give the community
fair share of the advantages of the
institution.
The Enterprise wishes that Mr..
Denny was satisfied to remain here
as one OF our citizens, but since his
wishes run to change, we wish him
success and hope that the mill may
continue in good hands.

Sterling Advocate. August 4,
1919.
The following was later taken
from the Greeley Tribune of August
Z. 1919:
Admitting the theft OF three slto-
mobiles and the robbery OF the h3-
touc Brothers general store at New
Raymer, vester Mason was arrested
at Sterling by the police OF that city,
after having successfully Guided
Weld county sherifis who tracked
him from Raymer to Sterling where
he had been in hiding for two days.
Two other youngsters. below legal
age, under which names cannot he
used. were arrested with him he stat
ing that they assisted in the Raymer
robbery, and they admitting their
guilt. All three will be tried in
county court here this week.
Mason and his companions broke
the front door of the Raymer store
and entered the building, cariy'nsoh
about 1890 worth OF clothes, shoes
and other merchandise, and loaded
II into an automobile which they adj
mitted had been stolen in Greeley,
and started away with 1t. The Of
ficers were notified and a chase en-
sued. During the progress OF the
nights race across the prairies SOME
Of the stolen merchandise was
thrown from the car. but part Of 1t
was found when the boys were ar
rested.
After being caught. Mason and
his companions are said to have adj
mitted not only the theft OF the
goods from the store but also that OF
three automobiles besides besides
that OF his father which he had al
so driven away and sold. Two o. the
three cars had been sold to JUNK
dealers and the third was the one in
which they left the Raymer store
with the stolen goods, according 70
statements OF the boys to the Ster-
ling officers.
Some months ago, young Mason
was in Jail upon complaint OF bis
father for driving the parents a'l-
tomobile from Sterling and selling IT
to a second hand dealer here. the
car was recovered and prosecution
was not pushed at that time. How

We Judge from the above that It
would be against the law for this
