American Legion to
Present Two Pictures
Next Monday

The Grit-Advocate desires especial
ly to call to the attention of all our
readers the fact that on next Mon
day night the American Legion is to
have the exclusive use of the Hipp
Theatre in this city, manager Lam
ming having turned over to them the
house and all it's equipment. The
proceeds of the evening go to the
Legion, for their use and benefit. and
inasmuch as the Legion has few
chances for earning money for their
treasury unless it be by some public
function or entertainment Of this sort,
we suggest that the ent1ra- community
turn out and give the boys a crowded
house. These boys failed US not, when
war was upon US and the black cloud
of disaster threatened the world. Let
us fail them not, now, when they need
a little money to carry on their or
ganization. They will appreciate your
attendance, readers, and will show
you a good picture besides. Read
their advertisement elsewhere in this
paper.

holiday for the High School students.
Many pupils gave their cars for carry
ing voters to the poles and others

to the school committee and voters
for giving us this great advantage.

BIG SPRINGS MAN
RELIEVED OF HIS
PILEBY SLICK TRIO
Sheriff Thunderstorm and Deputies Capture Trio
at One O'clock Sunday Morning Stuck
in Mud Few Miles East of
Julesburg.

Sheriff Humberstone il not sslesD
in enforcing the majesty Of the Laws,
and if anybody thinks he Is, our ID
vice to them is not to try him q.
He'll get you if you do. SATURDAY
night = call came to him from Biz
Springs to keep his eyes open for 9
party Of two men and one woman whe
were alleged to have robbed . man
down there ut that town Of $4OO and
who were said to be headed toward
Julesburg in = Buick car. Mr.. Hum
berstone watched until 100 O'Clock i1
the morning and not seeing any signs
Of the party wended his way home
ward. He had been at homo only q
few minutes when q phone call a.
prised him Of the fact that q car
was stuck in the hills east Of Jules
burg and that = man was in our town
trying to hire truck to go and pull
it out. Getting up quickly he got his
son who is his deputy and Wiley Stsas
and together they started for the
scene Of trouble. They rot there b.
fore the truck that was coming To
there assistance reached the spot, and
walking up to the stalled car. the
sheriff calmly inquired of the man
inside II he needed any help. The
man replied In the negative 1T q
that time brother Thunderstorm had
the curtain drawn aside and . IN
on the chap. at the same time COM
manding him to throw up his hands.
The fellow was handcuffed and then
the woman was searched She had
the stolen money which consisted Of
5000 in cash and 500 Liberty bond.
Then all that was needed TO be done
was to wait for the truck to arrive
and cover the other man. Every
thing worked like charm and the
whole bunch was bagged. They were
taken back to Bib Springs, to face
their victim. Mr.. Hill, but we un-
darstand this parsonage did not push
the prosecutions very vigorously and
the affair was settled by the three re-
storing the money and paying all
costs.
The other haul made by our good
sheriff was the arrest of one, Chas.
Swearenger, who was captured in
Julesburg is one of our hotels, and
was held for the Greeley Sheriff. The
man was wanted by the Greeley au-
committed in that county, the victim
being his thirteen year old step
daughter. The mans wife had come
to Julesburg and he followed her
here to try to induce her to withdraw
the charge against him. and thus It
was that the sheriff caught him.. As
a matter of fact the wife was not the
prosecuting party, but the authori-
ties themselves, in Weld County, were
the ones that were after him. We
arc glad he is caught and he should
BE- given the full limit of the law.

ELECTION RETURNS
GIVEBIGMA.J0RITY
F0RSCHO0L BONDS
Returns of Districts Received to Date Assure the
Carrying of Bonds if the Unheard From
Districts Vote Solid Against
the New Schools.

It will not longer be necessary to
send our boys and girls to other COM
munities for their High School train
ing. We will have one Of the best
school systems IN the state Of Colo
xado.
Although all the districts of the
County have not been heard from with
regard tc the County High School
Bond issue only the districts farthest
out remain unchecked. The total
vote of these districts would make no
difference in the carrying Of the is
sue even though all available votes
should be against the proposition.
Owing to the bad day, the vote was
small in country and this vote did not
represent the rural sentiment. Many
who were favorably disposed did not
take the trouble to turn out believing
that the issue would be carried, while
those opposed knew it would be nee
essary to get out every available vote
il they hoped to carry their side.

JULESBURG FANS
ASSURED
BALL THIS YEAR

Manager Miller of the Julesburg
ba e ball club is making arrangements
to give this city q real ball club and
he has been especially busy lining up
the players. The players already Sc
cured who will try out are an array
that will be able to compete and more
than hold their own with any team in
northeastern Colorado. The follow
ing is q tentative line up of the play
ers:
For catcher the club has secured
Mickey O'Brien from the Western
league. Mr.. OBrien is . high class
catcher and good hitter.
Three pitchers are in the lineup.
Fussell, the old favorite of Jules
burg fans head the list, and this year
he refused to accept a contract with
the Pittsburgh club on account Of
his interests in this community There
is also Bert Brian and Dick George,
both former pitchers in the Nebraska
State League.
First base will be covered by "Jad-
da" Drake, formerly Of the Southern
league, who is NO doubt the class of
first sackers in this section Of the
country and q mighty good man with
the stick.
The keystone sack will be filled by
"Slip" Wintersteen, formerly Of the
Reading club of the International
league. Wintersteen was also mem
ber of one Of the ball clubs in the A.
f. F.. across seas, playing in the Y.
M. C. A. league.
Manager Miller will cover short
stop himself. Mr.. Miller is an Al man
in this position and covers lot of
ground with good throwing arm.
Third base is as yet a little un-
settled but efforts are being made to
secure Harry Brian to fill this posi-
tion. Julesburg fans know how able
he is to fill this position and if he can
be secured their will be no question
of how this position will be filled.
The outfield positions will be filled
by En-. Miller, Of McCook, Neb., Bruce
Stafford of east Julesburg, and l.. A
Tollefson, of Big Springs. EN-. Miller
comes here with the reputation of be-
ing an extremely fast and a good man
at the bat. Bruce Stafford led the
.Julesburg team in hitting last year
Tollefson will be shifted to the out.
field and used as utility catcher
Manager Miller is making an effort
to land Lloyd Silcott who is now with
the Houston team in the Texas league
and is also leading the league in hit
ting.
From the above line up Julesbure
fans can be assured that they will get
their moneys worth and team that
they can we'll afford to back up. Now
let everybody get behind the boys anG
boost
Manager Miller has made arrange
ments to play North Platte here next
SUNDAY at the grounds just south OF
the old round house. North Platte is
reported to have fast aggregation
and good game is assured. Game
will start at 2:3O sharp. If you are a
good fan you will he there. Fussell
will do the pitching.
