Two Julesburg Lads
Break Legs Dur
ing the Past Week

Homer Dunkle, chief engineer at
the Julesburg Light Plant, was the
victim of painful and serious in
jury last Sunday morning, when hand
ling a 300 pound cake Of ice. The
big chunk slipped in some way and
either fell upon or against Mr.. Dunkle
in such a manner that the weight of
it broke one of his legs.
Young Chester Williams had the
misfortune to break his leg last Tues
day while engaged in the practice of
pole-vaulting. The accident occurred
at his home north of the High School
building, where some of the young
folks were working up" in this par
ticular stunt of athletics. The acc
dent is rather remarkable on account
of the fact that this is the third time
in two years that Chester has suffered
broken leg, and in addition to that
he has . brother who has had q broken
arm twice in the same two years. A
list Of five broken bones, fer two
boys, in two years, is considered some
record by their father, T. e. Williams.
The next time one Of them has a
broken leg OF arm, the doctor can
set it for nothing If he wants 10, The
father will not kick.

journeyed to Sterling on Wednesday to
witness the ball game between jules
burg and Sterling which We are sorry
to relate ended in the one-sided score
of 1910, with Sterling on the lsng end
Of the score. We are not surprise
that we lost this game nor that it was
won by such large score. It mus
be remembered that the Julss6t,rp
team was picked up in q hurry and nc
man on the team had any practice
while the Sterling team has heen prac.
ticing daily for several weeks. Tht

with little practice to give Sterling
a real run for their money and will
let them know at least that they have
been in hall game.

try. too, for a good Chautauqua y
"A likeable thing.
The Chautauqua Is an American in
stitution and it stands for American
things. That is why it appeals to ths
American heart. That is why The

Chautauqua idea and why it is willing

tauqua program. Julesburg like IL
other progressive towns, j. fully
abreast of the. times in this respect,
and is going to have y Chautauquo

easily be made . grand succsss.
For years Charles Horner has done
what he could to increase patriotism
and public spirit throughout our Lard

qua program. American institutions
and American ideals have proven ts
be the best ones in the world, and they
are the things upon which civilixs.
tion is founded. 1t is of the utmost
value that these ideals shall endure.
The Chautauqua platform is q mighty
agency in helping to maintain then
and to still deeper instill them into the
hearts Of our people. Let everybody
in Julesburg, then, rally to the sup
port Of the Chautauq.a this summer.
Encourage this work that will stand
so loyalty for Americanism and for
our general uplift.
