JULESBURG WOMAN'S
CLUB DOING THINGS
FOR THIS COMMUNITY

A mans mentality is stimulated by
his work, by graphing with the in
teresting problems of farm produc-
ton or Of a business career, or the
processes of a skilled handicraft. But
the woman's career as home maker is
different. Although housework is
made easier by modern ideas, yet there
is little inspiration in sweeping the
room for the Hoist time, or washing
pile of dirty dishes for the 1O,OOOth
meal
Hence the organization of woman's
clubs in towns like Julesburg, means
the opening of the doors for many
women into a new world. The pro-
grams of literary study conducted by
the woman's club, the discussions of
current events and civic problems,
seem to many previously lonely wo-
men, like new windows for the soul.
1t is impossible for man with his
less restricted occupations to realize
what refreshments these wider Gimp
ses of life bring to one who has faith
fully toiled in the treadmill for many
years. Refreshed by lofty visions of
the poet, or her alert mind stimulated
by glimpse of the world of today,
the woman's club members go back
to their tasks with new zeal and a
finer patience.

s, N. BEADLE SELLS
GRAIN ELEVATOR
TO LOCAL MEN

A deal was made the middle of last
week whereby S. NJ. Beadle sold his
grain elevator and business to Messrs.
Rollie Wilson, B. H. Achenbach and
Harry Souders, who are now in charge
of the business. The new firm will be
known as the Wilson Grain Co. The
reason for Mr.. Beadle disposing of
his business here was on account of
poor health, and he expects to leave
shortly for Rochester, Mimi, where
he will take treatments at Mayo Bros.
Messrs. Wilson, Achenbach and Sou
ders are well and favorably known
here, having been residents of Jules
burg for some time. Messrs. Wilson
and Achenbach were formerly en-
ployed by Mr.. Beadle. We predict
success for the new firm. Mr.. Beadle
and his estimable family have made
host of friends during their resi-
dence here, and they earnestly hope
that Mr.. Beadle will soon regain his
health.

Julesburg this fall he will be able to
use the golf clubs presented to him
By Our sister city, Fort Morgan. for
Julesburg is about to have one of the
finest courses in northeastern Colo
rxdD.
No community nowadays is complete
without its golf course, and the de-
mand for a place to follow the old
Scotch game has been SO great that
a nine hole links has been laid out on
the south side of the Platte river, one
mile east of the Julesburg bridge. The
land is owned by Mr.. Benjamin Frank
linlwho has leased the ground to the
Coz Club. The location is ideal, the
land laying from level to gently roll
ing, with the Perkins county ditch
traversing the course. The grass is
naturally short with very few weeds.
Rayers from Fort Morgan and
Stetling, who have been over the
coufse are very enthusiastic over the
prospects.
Membership in the Club is not re-
strtted and lovers of the game as
wei as those who are about to take it
up kre welcome to join. Organiza-
ton of the club is well under way and
already has large membership.

siding. District Attorney Roy T..

trict Attorney w. H. Pound, appeared
before the court and asked that leave

J. J. Baker upon q charge of first de-
gree murder. Judge Munson granted

CITIZENS PLEDGE MORAL
AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT
TO DIR. E. P. MURDOCH

For the past several months Dr.. E.
P. Murdock. who came to Julesburg
last summer from Ogallsla, has been
making strenuous efforts to obtain
license to practice in the state Of
Colorado, but thus far his efforts
have been futile. The state medical
board at its meeting held the first
of this month denied DR.. Murdock's
application for license, after having
practically assured the doctor few
I. months previous that the lGeAse
'~wculd be granted at the July meet
ing of the board. DR.. Murdock had
been practicing here during that time
by permission of the board.
During DIR. Murdock's residence in
Julesburg he has established repu-
tation as good citizen, and has made
an eviable reputation as physician
and surgeon, he having performed a
number of difficult operations with
great success. This fact cannot be
denied. We are reliably informed
that the state medical board did not
deny the license on the grounds of
incapability, but to the contrary it is
admitted that he is an able physician
and surgeon. I'VE are informed that
the board refused to grant the license
on the grounds that informations had
been filed charging DR.. Murdock with
unbecoming conduct and questionable
character. A number of the doctors
friends here and at Ogallala declare
that these charges are false and can
not be substantiated by the accusers.
DR.. Murdock emphatically denies the

The woman's club in Julesburg does
not have the money to spend on pro-
grams which is at the disposal of
similar organization in the large cit
les. 1t cannot hire expensive lectur-
ers nor costly musical artists. But
many of our women can write wonder
fully fine papers themselves.
Having become self independent
through many years, they have learn
ed to think things out for them
selves, rather than to depend on the
ready-made thought. The produc-
tions of these women may not show
wide research, but they frequently
reveal an originality and depth of
thought that few college professors
could equal.
The women who have this gift, and
there are number of them right
in Julesburg and community, owe it to
the community to use their powers in
enrching the programs of their home
organizations. We are pleased to
state that the Julesburg Woman's
Club is an organization that is doing
things" in our community, and We
are justly proud of the commendable
work the woman's club is doing along
lines pertaining to the welfare and
progress of Julesburg and community.

charges, and claims that he was not
given fair and impartial hearing.
During DR.. Murdock's absence in
Illinois last week and without his
knowledge, q meeting of thirty or
forty citizens of Julesburg and COM
munity, was held and it was decided
to employ counsel in the doctors be-
half. At this meeting subscription
paper was presented and literally
signed. there being about six hundred
dollars subscribed.
Another meeting of over one hun
drer citizens of this community was
held in the district court room of the
court house last Tuesday evening. At
this meeting DR.. Murdoch was as
sured of the financial and moral sup
port of those present, with view of
seeing the matter through, to the end
that he be given fair and impartial
hearing, and that those who have filed
charges against the doctor be requir-
ed to prove their accusations.
A prominent Denver attorney has
been employed in DR.. Murdockts be-
half by his friend here, and the case
will be vigorously pushed. His
friends declare that they are going
to see that DR.. Murdock gets fair
deal regardless of expense. A con-
siderable amount of money has al
ready been subscribed, and number
of the subscribers stated at the meet
ing last Tuesday evening that they
would double their subscriptions if
necessary.

CATION in CITY

A real estate deal of considerable
Importance was consummated last
Saturday, when H. o. Virgins pur-
chased the business building known
as the old Labaree building at the
corner Of second and Cedar streets. We
are not informed as to what Mr.. Wig
gins plans are in the purchase of
this choice location, whether merely
for speculation or for individual use
in the mercantile business. 1t will
be remembered by most of our citi-
zens that up to two years ago Mr..
Virgins was engaged in the clothing
business here, having sold his stock
and fixtures to the Ryan Co., which
was afterward purchased by c. H. Pc
terson of Denver, and now known as
the Wellworth Department Store.

burg the latter part of last week max
ing a personal investigation of the
case, being assisted by Deputy Dis
trict Attorney w. H. Pound of this
city. The district attorneys office
feel that they have strong case
against Baker, and expect to prove
that the murder was entirely un-
warranted and premeditated.
Baker, who admitted the shooting
and gave himself up to the officers
soon after the tragedy, emphatically
declares he was justified in. murder
ing Rozell in order to protect his
home, he alleging that the murdered
man had attempted to lure his wife
away from his home just west of this
city on Sunday morning, July 10Th.
1t is probable his defense will be the

short cross hauls Of much freight hav-
ing to go as much as ten to twenty
times as far by rail at heavy expense,
and will add greatly to convenience
of vast army of tourists, and while
