dead languages should have felt az
grieved at our exposing the sham DR.
Bonner.
BY the way. We are curious tc
know just what is meant by the ex'
preston: 'Dr. Bonners physiognomy
verifies this" What does 1t verify? ?
That he was victim Of a hostile
chain Of circumstances"
We have heard Mrs. Blanchard
uniformly described as good ply.
sician." W ehumbly apologize II the
coat We constructed for the sham
was so bunglingly done that she felt
impelled to think 1t hers. 1t was
not so intended; nor do we know ol
any other reader who so understood
1t.
Certainly DR.. Bonner was sham
II newspaper reports are half true
Still had he remained in the prac-
tice Of his profession, he would by
his unprincipled methods and prac-
tice have done more harm than he
did.
The lady certainly will not criti-
cize The Enterprise for exposing such
shams. She should thank us for as
sisting to purify and dignity her chos-
en- profession.
That some patent medicine ads ap-
ear on the ready print side Of The
Enterprise in no way prevents US from
joining with the doctor in any criti-
cism Of the patent medicine vendors.
Some patent medicines are good.
some are bad. Generally the less
one takes of them the better they
are of.
As to a doctor in Raymer. A good
one was here once and did well.
Death overlook him. A good one will
come again some day despite lying
attempts to prevent. Such doctor
will have good living from the
start, will find people as warm
heartd and generous as any place in
the world, will eventually build up a
lucrative practice and have friends
without number. That is without
doubt the experience OF Mrs. Plarch-
ard at Stoneham. for she left there
short time, but soon came back,
presumably to the better location.
We commend her Judgment. But
does the lady realize that the section
she serves so acceptably is only a
short distance from the community
she describes with such scorn? Does
she think 1t possible to injure a
neighbring town SO near and not
have It react on her home town in
which she has Just pride? She OBJ
jects to our criticism OF Doctor Bon
'ner because he is the victim OF a
chain Of circumstances, but wishes a
free hand to slander an entire com
munity. Consistency
We hope the lady may find time
read and ponder. We can aways find
room for such charming letters.

GRADES BREAK Even
WITH BUCKINGHAM

The grade basket ball teams went
to Buckingham for the first game OF
the season last Saturday evening and
the results are SO similar to former

port
The boys lost and the girls won.
But few went from here. and 80 our
reports on the game are very limit
ed, and we do not know the score.
There was little criticism of
some things voiced when the boys
got home. and we presume that
some may have been heard at Buck
ingham.
1t is probably difficult to play
large boys among smaller ones with
out it appearing that the larger boy
takes advantage of his strength and
size; and 1t sometimes happens that
the smaller boy takes advantage Of,
the fact that he IL small. I
We should all do all we can I

would suggest that all of the O

we shall not expect it to be follow

GREELEY TRUST
HEAD SUICIDES

GREELEY. Colo, Dec. 19,-The
body Of Robert A. HOFFMAN, presi-
dent Of the Greeley Loan company
and Of the Greeley Loan and Trust
company, was found tonight in an
unoccupied house at 1916 Twelfth
avenue. A bullet hcle In the roof
Of his moth told the story OF his
death. He had been missing since
about 5 O'Clock this morning.
The discovery OF his body was
made by Samuel Maybry, who had
made an offer to rent the house, and
had gone there to look it over.
When he went up stairs to the
second story he saw a mans feet
sticking out OF door. He did not
investigate further, but ran to the
nearest telephone to notify the po-
lice. '
Hoffman had been a resident here
for about nine years. and had been
prominent In shurch and civic af-
fairs. He was about 35 years old,
and is survived by his widow and
two children.-Rocky Mountain News
The above is confirmed by the
Greeley Tribune received yesteray.
1t Is assumd that Hoffman was
driven to temporary insanity by
financial affairs; but up to the
present no irregularities in the af-
fairs Of the trust company have been
discovered. and none are expected by
financial men Of Greeley. Hoffman
had ade several loans In this section
He carried arge life insurance, but
one policy for $25.O00 Ia said to have
been written within the last twelve
months and SO will probably not be
paid,
Financial stress was probably the
cause.
