WATERS RAN FREE WITH
 SIx-SHO0TER
Single Handed She Routed Whole House Full of
 Negroes

A perverted sence of humor caused Rosie Waters, negress, about IS years of age, to land berth in the city jail last night, after shooting up a house on Ninth and Georgia street in which there was gathering of colOred people,
 She shot two holes in window, and put hole through the door, and would have continued the siege but for the fact that shortly after the first shot there was nothing but, the echo of quickly moving feet to shoot at.
 Night Chief of Police King, and Pa- trolman Henry arrested the girl short lv after the shooting took place, and took her to the jail where she spent most of the night laughing at what she called a good joke.
 According to the way Rosie de- scribes the bombardment she lives on Ninth and Georgia, and being aware of the fact that there were severel colored people in house across the street she conceived the idea of play ing practical-oh, d very practical joke on them.
 Accordingly she loaded up the re- vo1ver and sallied forth to cause havoc and disturbment Having all of her firing data arranged she began the barrage. The first shot drilled a neat hole in window pane, and the second shot nicked the pane just a little higher up. Seeing that the creeping barrage was impractical for this kind of work, Rosie strove for, a direct hit, and smashed the front door with the third shot,
 She was prepared to further demol- ish the house, and joke with the occu- pants, but found that sometime be- tween the first and the third shots, the strong point had been abandoned, and only the fastly leaving forms of the dusky inhabitants of the house, melting into the stygmian caverns of a convenient alley proclaimed the fact that it had ever been inhabited.
 Them niggdrs wuz gabbin' Hoo much" she said, "and I wanted to play little joke on them. Didn't have a chance to hit any of thep.' she con- tinued, '"cause they ran too fast. Then she laughed, q ies wanted to see them run anyhow"

SE OF SUMNER SILO
FINDING MUCH FAVOR

Agricultural College Ncws-Notes:-
The use Of the silO throughout the
year Is finding much favor with stock
keepers. II is quite difficult TO OBJ
tain Pastuss on land worth 500 or
more per acre. During drouth season
the pasture Is often so poor that il
affords little or no feed. but the in
tcrcst on the investment and the taxes
must be found. There is no question
but what the use Of the siIo for sum-
mer feeling viii make rapid gains
during the next few years and will
soon come into common use. The mil
lions Of tons Of corn stalks and rough
forage which are now annually going
20 waste will find use in the form Of
silage and VIII make possible not only
4 cheaper production. but VIII also
make il possible 70 at least double the
profit Of stock raising. Farmers who
are complaining Of low profits from
cattle. should make a study Of the
silage as they will here find n means
Of increasing their profits and do so
with less labor
The silo Is forage bank, which il
put into general use will save a vast
amount Of feed and bring a great
wealth to the people.

DEVELOPMENT OF WESTERN
SLOPE TO COME SOON

The development of the Western
Slope territory, through the settling
up of all of the land now open to
homestead entry, is predicted in a
recent statement issued from the of
flee Of NJ d. McEniry, chief of the
field division of the the United States
general land office in Denver. In a
statement 1t is pointed out that there
are millions of acres of open lands
over the slope now available for hte
land hungry soldier or citizen, and,
with the general western movement
from the more populous districts of
the east. all of this land will soon
be taken. There is more of this idle
land within this district than any
where else over the state; hence, the
district may expect a gratr number
of settlers and greater returns as the
land is developed.
July 1st there We're 9,547 ,97S acres
of public lands open TO homestead en-
try in Colorado. There We're 40 acres
in Adams county, 80 in Arapahoe
and $50 in Boulder county. Much of
the land is still open for entry can be
used for farming and stock raising
purposes.
The Glenwood Springs land district
has the largest amount of land open
for homesteaders. The district has
4,54l ,s29 acres.
The second largest district is the
Montrose district, which has a total
of 2,S04610 acres of public lands
awaiting prospective farmers and
ranchers.

o. c. SKINNER. REGISTER
LAND OFFICE, SUGGESTS
NEW HOMESTEAD BILL

MontrOsc Enterprise
At the suggestion of o. c. Skinner,
of the local land office, Congressman
Taylor has introduced into congress a
bill which will give the homesteadcrs
in national forests who have not enter
ed their full quota of land under the
800 and $40 acre homestead bills, to
file on additional land up to that quota
outside of the National Forest Re-
serve.
Mr.. Skinner was somewhat charign-
ed, however, on receiving 4 copy of
the bill, to find a couple of paragraph
attached to the bill at the suggestion
of the general land office, which he
considers unfair in that it gives the
right to a certain class of home
steaders to acquire total amount
more than another kind. This part of
the bill, however, does not interfere
with the part Of the bill in which Mr..
Skinner is interested. This bill is
intended to meet the needs of quite a
number of homesteaders in the juris-
diction of the Montrose land office.
This part of the bill reads as follows:
A BILL
For the Relief of Homestead Entrymen
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Con-
gress assembled, that any home
stead entryman of one hundred and
sixty acres or less of the lands of
the character deserted as subject to
entry under the provisions of the
Enlarged Homestead Act of Febru-
AIRY 10, 1909, and June II, 1910, who
has not admitted final proof upon
the existing entry, and any home
stead entryman who has submitted
final proof or received patent, for
such an amount of lands that are of
the character described as subject to
and who owns and resides upon the
said homestead entry, where said
land is within National Forest,
may make an additional entry for
and obtain patent for such an
amount of land, of that same
character not in National Forest,
and within radius of twenty miles
from said homestead entry, as when
the area is added to the area of the
original entry, will not exceed three
hundred and twenty acres, and
residence upon the original entry
shall be credited on both entries;
but improvements must be made on
the additional entry as required by
said act.
