JOHN WOOD VICTIM
IN AUTO ACCIDENT

John Wood. horse and mule buy
er from Wichita was killed in an
automobile accident about ten miles
south and little west OF Raymer
Monday afternoon.
Wood was being driven by Roe
Huckins OF Fort Morgan in his ef-
forts to gather up car load Of
mules. In winding about the Wild
Cat breaks they were following a
trail with which they were not IA
millar and also looking for ranch
houses back in the hills where per-
chance there might be an animal
for sale.
The country where they were just
prior to the accident was level and
gave no hint of the dangerous char
aeter of the road ahead. A bunch
of ranch houses came in sight and
Mr.. Wood called the attention of the
driver to them as place that they
might call upon. The driver took
his eyes from the trail an instant to
note the place, and the next thing he
knew the Ford was precipitated over
a ten foot embankment. The driver
was not seriously hurt, but Mr..
Wood was caught by the car in its
fall and 1t is believed that his neck
was broken Mr.. Huckins got the
injured man from under the car and
then went for assistance. This took
some time. but he finally located J.
l.. Berry who went with him and
assisted in bringing the body to
town, arriving here about eight
o'clock in the evening. Coroner
Wood was summoned from Greeley
and arrived soon after midnight.
Investigation satisfied him that the
cause of death was accidental. and
an undertaken was summoned from
Morgan to remove the remains to
that place.
The deceased was man OF about
so or 55 years of age.

EFFICIENCY EXPERT ON
COUNTY DIVISION

1t has always been our contention
that Greeley opposition TO county
division was due to failure of the
people of that place to comprehend
the change that has taken place in
this part of the county in the past
dozen years. We know that those
men in Greeley whose business brot
them often into these parts sympa-
thized with our desires.
For this reason we have insisted
that the more We could get the peo-
pie OF that section to visit us the
sooner the opposition would be con-
yerted to our view
1t is therefore with some pride
in our own opinion, as well as joy
that 1t strengthens our just ambi-
tion for new county that we note

bringing about increased efficiency
in county government for Weld

Judge Jacobs is leading lewyer

shrewd BUSINESS man whose views
have weight with financiers. He
has in the past always opposed coun-
ty division, appearing at Denver to
lobby against the bill both times
that the measure was before the leg
islature
In the report mentioned, among
other things Mr.. Jacobs says:

the most important steps that
can be taken to make efficient
county administration is to di

too large for efficient admins

PUT 1T UP TO GRANDFATHER
Four-Year-oid Kept Her Pennies,
While Elderly Relative Was
Forced to "Dig Up"

Grandfather is very dignlfied, re-
tired minister. But still, with all his
dignity he regularly takes his four
year-old granddaughter to Sunday
school because he thinks that. she
should have this religious training
while she is yet young.
The other Sunday II was Mary FL
lens fourth birthday and she, after the
custom Of the school carried with her
four pennies to place In the birthday
basket. Everything went nicely and
the tot went to the front, her little
face happy above her Sunday finery.
Still smiling she stood In row with
the other birthday children and wait
ed while the basket was passed.
When II was taken to the others and
she saw them put their pennies into
the basket Mary Ellen became dis
tlnctly uneasy. She seemed about 10
fee; then to reconsider and stayed.
But when 1t reached her, instead Of
dropping her pennies into 1t as the
others had done she held to them
very tightly indeed and said. mo
