INTERESTINGTALE
OF EARLY DAYS
IN JULEBURG
BY M. H. Lundy

tThe facts that this tale is based
upon were given to me by Z. +. Jonn
Heckman, q pioneer U. P. engineer,
who was with the road from the early
sixties until retired several years ago.
He passed beyond in 1914.)
Within the shadow of the U. +.
watertank at Julesburg, Colo, are
three unmarked graves. The storms
of fifty years have effectually effaced
the little mounds that in early days
were the only indications that three
of Julesburg's earlier inhabitants
found final resting place there.
Many trans-continental passengers
noticed the mounds, and wondered
why such a strange and peculiar To-
cation was chosen for 3 burial place.
Trainmen were frequently asked
who occupied these graves, and the
circumstances surroun ding tn e II
deaths, None seemed 10 know. The
graves were there when they first
came to the country, and they had
never met anyone that did know.
There were many conjectures, and
the popular solution Of the mystery
was that the graves contained victims
of a railroad accident that has passed
from memory and were buried In the
most convenient spot; not much time
being spent in locating graveyard
sites when Julesburg was in its In
fancy. Any place where the earth
was soft, and easy digging seemed
10 meet all requirements. The spill
from engine tenders was sufficient
to keep the ground near the tank in
excellent condition for easy digging.
Viewed from that angle the location
was ideal.
Along in the early sixties, when
the U. P. was building westward to
connect with the G. p, construction
had progressed but short distance
beyond Julesburg. 1t was then live
ly frontier town-headquarters for
the adventurous-the majority of its
buildings were occupied by saloons,
dance halls and gambling joints. The
cheapest thing in Julesburg those
days was human life.
One July evening, 1856 Cannot
recall exact Year, stranger arrived
at Julesburg, horseback. After see-
ing to the care of his horse, he casual
ly inquired of stable proprietor if
he knew a man named Ike. Yes, he
did. Ike was a lookout at Omaha
Jimmie's for a game, the stranger
went to a hotel. removed the stains
of travel and had supper. Later in
the evening he strolled around town
leisurely, eventually turned up at
Omaha Jimmie's. After making a
survey of the place and its occupants,
he quietly made some inquiries of a
bartender and left the place.
Shortly afterwards he entered
dance hall, patronized by many of the
gamblers. AS he entered gambler
and his girl were having violent
quarrel in the center Of the room. The
girl had danced several times with
her STEADY" but for the next dance
had accepted an invitation from an
other gambler. This angered her low
er, who had been drinking and was
in an ugly mood. While they were

The interests of the farmers and
business men of this community are
upon mutual basis, they being close
ly allied and dependent upon each 9th
er for success. 1t is most essentially
true that each should endeavor to -.
sist the other along practical and well
understood lines, whereby the least
possible amount of friction would sx-
ist to their mutual detriment.
In other words, each should under
stand and fully appreciate whatevse
would be to their interests and sue
cess. Such cooperation would tend -
reduce to q minimum any unplcaSSHs
relations in their business dealings
that from time to time arise. We are
all humans and are liable to make mis-
takes, but the community spirit should
be the all-important factor in solving
the problems that confront US, es-
pecially during these times of read
justment.
The condition that the farmer has
found himself in at this time is in
deed unfortunate, with his garnered
crops on hand, planted, cultivated and
harvested at the very peak of high
prices covering labor and other es-
sentials, with the prices for their
products taking tumble downward
so low that in many cases if sold
would hardly bring the cost of the
seed. 1t is to be hoped that by some
concerted plan upon the part Of all,

State legislation which will offer the
alternative of a $4,000 farm or home

of SIS a month Of service for vet
erans of the World War, will be press
ey by the Oregon Department OF the
American Legion 1t was so decided
at a recent meeting of the state ex-
ecutive committee of the Legion. The
Legionnaires also voted to sponsor
in the legislature bill similar to
the japanese law Of California, aimed
to prevent land holdings by orientals
in the state, when it was pointed out
that the adoption of the California
law caused an influx Of Japanese in
to Oregon.
A national poll of the members Of
the American Legion may be ordered
by National Headquarters in the near
future to determine which plan men,
bers will choose in the event that the
Legion four-fold bonus bill is passed
by the Senate. The Senate Finance
committee reported to the National
legislative committee in Warrington
that this step might be necessary to
ascertain an estimate Of the immedl-
ate expenditure which the bills pas
sage would call for.
Charging that army overcoals are
being solicited from former service
men for disabled veterans because the
government has failed to clothe them
adequately, Miles d. King, member
of the West End Post of the American
Legion in New York City, has writ
ten letter of protest to Secretary
of War Baker The writer states
that Surplus army clothing is being
sold right and left at what is sup
posed to be sacrifice prices, and am
therefore unable to understand why
these convalescent soldiers cannot be
furnished with sufficient clothing"
The appeal to former service men
to give up. their overcoats, according
to the letter, was made from the
American Red Cross, through Le-
gion member at a meeting Of the
New York post.
In an Effort to alleviate the nation
al shortage Of employment, Ameri-
can Legion posts in many parts OF
the country have established employ

These post bureaus are operated free
Of charge and eligible to any veterans
applicant, regardless of Legion MEM
bership.
A recent report that the Inter
national Molders' Union had advised
all its members that if they be-
came affiliated with the American

NEWS FROM PALESTINE.

Jerusalem, May 3O.-Arabs of
Taffa declined to attend banquet
given on the British warship
"Iron Duke" because invitations
were also extended to Jews. Sir
Herbert Samuel, British High
Commissioner of Palestine, and
Emir Abdulah were among the
guests.
A dispatch from Rome indicates
that a delegation sent by the
Haifa Arab Congress has peti-
toned the Pope to use his 1ntiu-
ence against the present British
policy in Palestine which favors
the introduction of Jewish imml-
grants, most of whom, say the
Arabs, have Bolshevist procliv1-
ties.
The Vaad Halumi (Jewish Ma
tional Council) issued an appeal
to the Jews of the entire world to
exert their efforts to have the
Mandate for Palestine completed
at the next sitting Of the League
of Nations in Geneva. The APP
peal claims that the Arabs do not
understand the friendly policy OF
Herbert Samuel and as result OF
the misunderstanding the signing
of the mandate was postponed.
The British Administration
here has granted permission for
the converting of an Arab con-
gress in Jerusalem. The first con-
gress, held in Haifa in December
last, was refused official recognl-
ton by the Palestinian High
Commissioner.
Rabbis of Palestine have orr
dained a fast day for June End to
commemorate the death Of the
victims of the Jaffa pogrom on
MAY 1st, End and 3rd. Every
Palestinian Jew will be asked to
contribute two shillings towards
the upkeep of the families of the
deceased. -' - '''-," ''"~---'--.

TYPEWRITER SPEED KING
Howard C. Pfrommer, Amateur Cham
pion, Gives Demonstration

Howard G. Pfrommer, an amateur
champion speed typist of the United
States, visited the High school Thurs
{ ay morning and gave demonstration
of speed work on an Underwood type
writer to the pupils of Putnam High
school assembled in the hall. His de.
covered speed work on Sc
lcted matter and articles presented by
the class. His highest speed was III
words per minute on familiar matter
PARTICLES previously written), and q
trif1e lower on unfamiliar matter.
During some of the writings he re-
quested that people talk to him and
ask him questions concerning anything
but the League of Nations. 1t seems
that that subject was barred out en-
tirely. One of the pupils asked him
to write from q selection OF Macbeth
and they found, much to their amuse.
ment, that he was just as familiar with
Shakespeare as they were themselves
The students were extremely inter.
ested in the demonstration and the pu-
pills and the teachers asked many ques.
tons concerning different aspects OF
his work. After the demonstration
Mr.. Pfrommer visited the typewritina
classes, where he noted the position
and operation Of the typewriter stu
dents. He found nothing to criticize
in fact, he spoke Of the work in very
commendable terms. In view Of that
the fact that the high school is soon tc
have a typewriting contest, this de-
monstration was doubly interesting.
Eric H. Johnson, chairman of the
school board, was present las well as
Supt. Macdonald and Mr.. Mccain
representative of the Underwood
Typewriter Company. The demon
stration was arranged through the eff
forts of Miss Minnie A. Cannon.

FIRE BURNS JUNK

m Main street just south of MAY

tally covered by insurance.
Those first at the scene of the fire
iay that it started in the north shee
illed with waste paper owned by ia
Job Wolfe. The fire was at this time
confined to this, the first shed, and the
.oors were found to be locked.
The flames made rapid Roadway ane
;oon the blaze was communicated to
hree other sheds adjoining in which
vas more or less combustible material
When the fire was discovered al
i215 an alarm was pulled in from
,ox az at the corner of Main ano
Bridge streets. When the depart
nent reached the scene the dry ma
serial was burning briskly. The fire
was spreading to the south through
The chain of wooden sheds and eating
its way toward Bancroft's garage
from which all cars were. hurrie lily
taken out to a place of safety. The
fire did not reach the garage, however.
The first shed, where the fire start
ed, was filled with baled waste paper
and other junk, the property of Jacob
Wolfe. In the second shed was an au-
somobile truck owned by Abraham
Shefferts. In the third was another
auto truck owned by William Wein-
stein. In this shed there was also a
quantity of rags in bags, old automo-
bile tires. new brooms, and quantity
Of vegetables. Both of the auto
trucks were destroyed. According to
Weinstein he had no insurance and
the property, valued at about $1,000
was, he said, all he owned in the
world except his home. 1t is under
stood that Wolfe, who claims loss
of $4,000, was partially insured.
During the fire the gasolene tanks
on the two cars exploded. This cans-
ed a cloud Of black smoke that could
be seen from all points in the city,
and a large crowd gathered. On ac-
count of the near proximity to the
railroad tracks upon which stood a
line of freight cars, the switching en-
CINE stood in readiness to pull the
cars away should occasion arise.
While there has been some talk
that the fire might possibly have start
ed from a spark from locomotive
falling on the roof, city officials who
made close inspection believe that
the fire originated inside the shed.
