FATALLY HURT
AT COT0P PAxI
LAST Evening
BR0T T0CAN0N

A well-dressed colored man. believed
to be about 80 years OF age, was found
in an unconscious and half-frozen con
dition on the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad tracks near Cotopad early
this morning by section men. and the
matter reported to the company's
agent there. Shortly afterwards the
local office of the company was ap-
prised of the discovery and the sheriff
communicated with in relation to the
affair Instructions were sent TO Co
topaxi to have the man sent here on
the first train for surgical attention,
and he arrived on a local freight at
noon and was taken to the Graves
hospital for treatment. An ambu-
lance was waiting at the station and
the unfortunate man. more dead than
alive. was hurried to the hospital He
was still breathing when taken OF the
train. but showed no other sign of life,
On the way TO the hospital. however.
he managed to turn partly over on
his cot and indicate an unexpected OF
strength and vitality. although unable
to give any outcry OF pain or recog-
milton. His injuries. in the opinion
of the hospital attendants. are prob
ably fatal. but how he received them
is not known. and can only be a sub
3ect of conjecture.
From letters. receipts and other
memoranda taken from his pockets
at the hospital it was learned that his
name is Johnny Jones. and that until
recently he was employed al the steel
plant at Pueblo. Among the effects
removed from the inner pocket of his
coat was a note book containing, with
other things. receipt for tne payment
OF $40 on a bond of the Fourth Lib
erty loan. II was dated September IS.
1918. He also carried certificate OF
registration in the setlective military
draft II was signed by the exemption
board OF Pueblo county. and showed
the holder to be a resident of Good
pasture. Colo. II bore the date of
September IL. 1918. Papers on his
person showed that be held policies il

hurt, but there seems to be no doubt
that he fell on q Rio Grande train,
probably No. 16, Friday night. but as
to the cause may never be known
Whether he was a regular passenger
on the train or was riding blind bag
gage" is also a mystery. Both of his
legs are broken and one foot practi-
caliy cut OF and the other BADLY man
gled. The sight of one eye is gone
and his face frightfully bruised and
cut
His arms and hands are badly lac
Grated and his body covered with
bruises and contusions. II is thought
that at least one OF his legs will have
TO be amputated. What chance. II
any. he Eos for recovery, is not known.
Nothing is known here about the
victim OF this myterious accident, ex-
cept that revealed by the papers he
carried in his pocket at the time. Of
ficials of the sherin's office are en-
deavoring, to communicate by tele-
phone with the authorities in Pueblo
this afternoon. but up TO 5 o'clock no
Information had been obtained. In the
case of death an inquest will likely be
held by the coroner.

this State may still have chAace to

if the Governor will include thelssub-

subjects of the call.
There is no installing the teQpsr of

suffrage. In an election in whteh the
vote of the country parishes wac much
lighter proportionatelv than tAs city
vote, the amendment earned almost
unanimously in the country parishes
and came within few thousand votes
Of carrying over the organized opposi-
ton of New Orleans.
The vote at the State election, e the
opportunity of casting itsis offered,
would be larger and there II not .
doubt what the result would be.
Give Louisiana women the ballet a.
the gracious act of her own voters; not
as the beneficence of tho Net3onal
Congress. Even the opponents g suf-
frage, we think, would prefer b yield
gracefully to the inevitable.

ARE YOUR TAXES HEAVY?
they NAY Be HEAVIER YET

Probably every reader Of
this paper finds his taxes a bit
higher than he likes to pay.
Thousands Of them have been
struggling for the last few
weeks to make out reports on
income taxes to the govern
ment, and have. found that six
per cent takes q pretty heavy
slice out Of what was left over
on New Years day. Many Of
you had to borrow money to
pay the taxes.
But this tax Is nothing to
what all Of us will have to pay
il the Victory Loan fails to
go over. Uncle Sans war bills
must be paid. He prefers to
borrow the money from us and
pay us back later on.
But II he can't borrow it, he
must take tin the form Of
taxes.
It's like the difference be-
tween renting q house for ten.
years or buying it on the in
stallment plan. In one case,
you wind up with q thick bum
die Of rent receipts. In the
other, you have a deed to your
home.
Isn't it better to lend your
money to the Government at
a fair rate Of interest than to
pay it out IN taxes, which new
er come back?
That's worth considering
when the time comes to invest
in Victory Bonds.

The first kind bear 1915 in.
terest yearly, payable every six
months These are free from
State and local taxes, except
estate and inheritance taxes,
and are also free from the nor.
NAL Federal Income taxes.
The second kind bear 334Ts
interest and are free from tax
alton as the others are, but in
addition are free from super
taxes md every other form of
taxation, except the usual es-
tate an inheritance taxes.
Notes Of either kind can be
changed for those Of the other
Issue at the wish of the buyer.
The notes of both series will
be dated and bear interest
from May 20, 1919, and will
mature on May 20, 1923. In
terest will be payable on De-
cembec Is, 1919. and after that
on June Is ant! December Is,
