Real Estate Sharks
Initiate Bill to Form
Two New Counties
(From The Colorado Leaderl


Colorado has been cursed with
many kinds of Wild Cat promotion
schemes, but the latest is about the
worst.
A bunch of real estate sharks have
initiated bills providing for the for
nation of two new counties out of
portions of Lincoln, Kit Carson and
Elbert Counties. These two new
counties they propose to sell Limon
and Flagler, and to make the towns
of Limon and Flagler the county
seats.
The idea appears to be to boom
the real estate around these towns
and to get jobs for a lot of folks,
transcribing county records, building
new court houses, and filling new
county offices.
The cost of each courthouse would
be from one hundred and fifty 10
two hundred thousand dollars. The
cost of furnishing each court house
would be about ten thousand dollars.
The cost of road tools and machinery
for each county would be approxima-
tely twenty thousand dollars. The
cost of transcribing and installing
the records for each new county is
estimated at from fifty to seventy
thousand dollars.
This makes total cost of approx

Between Mansfield and Sterling

Predicts Cut in
Food Cost Prices

A general reduction in food prices
was predicted yesterday by Sol
Westerfeldt, president of the Retail
Grocers' Association, who excepted
only eggs and butter from what he
said would be a steady decline. He
said high interest on bank loans
made price cutting necessary for
producers to move their crops.
Mr.. Westerfeldt said canned
goods now being packed must be
lowered in price to move it; that
coffee had recently dropped 10
cents a pound and that he looked
for cheaper bread because of lower
flour prices. Fruit was at a min
imum in some cases lower than 1914
prices, he said.
"Although it may mean loss to
some producers and distributors"
Mr.. Westerfeldt said. "the nation as
a whole will benefit and a return to
normal conditions will be effected"

Rodney Haggard was acquitted of
the charge of killing Ben Good in
circuit court in Winchester yester-

in the court room with his wife and
child, shook hands with each jury

court room Monday, accompanying
her husband, Rodney .Haggard.
The defendant, Rodney Haggard,
and his wife and 4-year-old baby,
Ella, and Miss Minerva Haggard,
daughter of Mr.. Gordon Haggard,
sat together in the court room while
the jury was celebrating on the case.
Mrs. Haggard looked careworn and
weary.
After the verdict Haggard clasp
ed his wife in his arms and kissed
her, while the tears streamed down
their faces.
Relatives of Haggard said that
Mr.. and Mrs. Haggard were at the
home of his uncle, Gordon Haggard.
They say he will build a home for
his family and the reconciliation is
complete.
Haggard shot and killed Ben
Good in front of a restaurant on the
main street of Winchester several
weeks ago. In his defense he claimed
that Good and his wife had been as
sociating and that Good had weaned
away her affections from him.
Shortly before the killing he had
sent his wife to the home of her
father, Jailer J. S. Mullins, of that
city.
She had instituted proceedings for
divorce, but just prior to the open
ing Of the trial last week she with
drew this action and also made a
statement denying certain allega-
tons of cruelty in her petition for
divorce.
