B. A Keith has purchased four
lots bordering on Horse Creek,

placing the material on the ground
for the immediate erection of a
handsome 5room, l.story brick and

finely located. He has already Jet

begin the building as soon az all
the materials are assembled Mr..
Keith Is getting the brick from
Trinidad and will do the cement
work himself.
Quite a number of Holly people
have purchased lots in this tract
during the past few months, in
Guiding Leonard White, John
Owens, w. I. Kidder, Mayor Harry
D. Steel and others, with the idea
of building homes, and it is quite
probable that Mr.. Keith's home
will be the beginning of consider
able building activity in North
Holly this spring.
Holly never needed residences as
it needs them now and the anti
cipation of this building activity is
something of more than ordinary
interest and it is to be hoped that
all who have purchased lots in the
north side may find their way clear
to build this year.

Five are now known to be dead in
the storm OF Saturday and Sunday.
Many are missing. Cattle losses
and sheep deaths will run into the
thousands, the money loss being
figured well over the million mark.
The dead are.
John sandSyall, Ran1on Galleeos
and Pedro Mendoza, ezacAKk sheep

of Trinidad in the Mesa de Mayo
country.
Mrs. Robert IA. Lewis, 6Oyear.old
negro evangelist, frozen to death
near Brighton, Colo.
Lewis Brugger, s43, miner, killed
by q live wire blown down in the
storm at Lafayette, Colo.
Among the missing are:
L. Fl. Parker, undertaken of Fort
Morgan and his assistant, Ellis Nc
Dill who have not been heard from
since Saturday, after leaving for
ranch to bring bsck the body of q
baby who had died.
Stories Of suffering and hardships
are reported from throughout the
state.
The most pitful conditions exist
in the Mesa de Mayo country 20
miles southeast of Trinidad, where
homesteaders, their little herds
and flocks wiped out; their early
planting upro0ted by the high
winds, are penniless and in want,
threatened with famine.
Here it was the bodies of the
sheepherders were found.
The intensity of the cold is best
indicated by the position Of the
body Of Sandovall, who was stand
ing upright against sapling where
he had sought slight protection
from the wind.
About him lay his herd of $40
sheep.
A little further along were the
bodies of the other men. They had
buried themselves in huge snow
drifts, hoping to keep from freez-
ing.
Like Sandovall's flock their
sheep were dead.
Everywhere throughout the reg
ion flOcks of sheep and herds of
cattle are dead.
Rumors in Trinidad say many
other sheep fherders have perished
but nothing definite is known.
It is believed complete explora-
ti0n of the Mesa, however, will re-
veal these other deaths.

Hike Prices.
CHICAGO. April l9.-With p0ta-
toes selling above 81 per hundred
pounds and hundreds of cars rot
ting in the railroad yards and on
sidings within hailing distance Of
the city. the federal government has
started steps to relieve the abomin-
able situation.
Libel warrants were asked of
Judge Lands today for several cars
of potatoes now being held in the
yards here. 1t is claimed they are
being kept of the market to in
fiuence prices, and that the heavy
demurrage charges will be passed
along to the ultimate consumer.
1t is the plan of the government
to seize and sell this great stock of
potatoes in bond, or to permit the
owners to sell them at what the
government will fix as q reasonable
price This may not end the mat
ter, as there are hints of pr0secu-
ton for conspiracy. 1t is said the
government believes the speculat.

went skyrOcketing. The grand jury
has summoned sixteen dealers to
appear and bring in their books.
The SUGAR famine" hit Chicago
again today. the price going to 80
cents and sales are being limited
to half q pound to customer.
Blame for this condition Is said to
rest with certain departments in
