country districts is that a district out

dates This is a misapprehension Of
the law. Section 4446 of Reming-

Sec. 4446. Each school district

so far as necessary for that purpose,

Pupils III the rural districts can
be transported daily to and from a
consolidated school and, according
to the state superintendent, this sys-
tenn mas several distinct advantages
when can be summarized as 1ol-
lows:
Cd Pupils are not exposed to rain
and weather on their way to school.
They do not sit in school all day
with damp garments.
90 They arrive at school fresh
and ready for work, not tired out
by long tramp.
go They do not have to leave
home as early in the morning
! t4) They are under proper chape-
ronage while going to and from
school-the time when immoral in
fluences would otherwise have an op-
portunity to make an impression.
CD The attendance of the district
is improved. The teacher does not
spend her time with a mere handful
of pupils.

Cave Man Love
 Among the Eskimo
 Reported Recently

Edmonton, Alberta-A weird story of Eskimo love and ruthless murder was brought in by mes senger from the icy region of Wagner's bay, 30 miles east of the Hudson's Bay trading post, nearly five months after the quintuple tragedy took place.
 The slayings, according to the report received at mounted police headquarters, revolved about the amours of a trader named Otto Binder.
 Binder, the report said, became attracted by the wife of an Eski- mo, and her husband and the husbands father volunteered to | find for Binder another Eskimo woman equally attractive. | Setting out on their search, they came to a hut in which they found a woman they thought would be attractive to Binder.
 The only drawback was that this woman was also married, and her husband refused to part with her.
 The bride hunters solved the 1 problem by shooting and serious l ly wounding the husband. His cousin, however, took offense and shot the younger of the pair. The older man then opened fire but was also slain by the cousin after he had exhausted all his ammunition. The cousin then proceeded to slay the woman whom husband and father had started on their bride quest to save.
 This left a 4-year-old girl fath- erless and motherless, so she was strangled to death by one of the head mem of the district.

The Tone of Bells.

MANY persons suppose that the
varying tones of the bells in a
cathedral chime depend chiefly upon
the size and thickness of the differ
ent bells. 1t appears, however, that
che tone is governed by the pro-
euberant ring of metal on the f1ange
of the bell a. little back from the
edge. The bell-founder who desires
to impart a particular tone to a bell
is very careful about the thickness
which he gives to this ring, and it's
dimensions are calculated in ad-
vance.

They came from the Hall. There was
a big party there. I know that, for
one of the shooting gentlemen was
taken bad in the night, and my mas

wife at lunch what carryings-on there
were up at the Hail."

reply. She had married a dairy
farmer. and stood defiant and inde-
pendent.
YOUNG Mrs. Perry's story had at
L tracted me. That night I sat and
discussed it at length with Hayes and
Farren.
If the young woman's story were
true. then the victim must be known
to Edward Baynes and his wife. AS
the murder had been committed
within ten miles of Ravenscroft Hall.
and as the description Of the dead
woman had appeared in the paper, /
agreed that If Baynes knew her he
would have to come forward to make
a statement. But he had not done so.
Farren suggested that he should call
upon Baynes, but I argued against
such a course.
NO" 1 said. Let us work in the
opposite direction. Leave the man
Baynes to me, and I will discover
what I can. Has Mrs. Charlesworth

Next day, though I feared to go
into the neighborhood of Bulwick. be-
cause I would perhaps be compelled
to go there later as a stranger. went
into the old-world town of Stamford
instead. 1t was market day and a
good many farmers and dealers had
assembled at the George and the
Stamford Hotel. At both these inns
I spent three or four hours, chatting
with local dealers and farmers, and
learning what 1 could Of the tenants
Of Ravenscroft Hall.
Those who knew Bulwick agreed
that Edward Baynes was q very rich
man.
Ono old farmer, who came from
Blatherwycke. the adjoining village to
Bulwick, declared:
They're the best people who've
been at the Hall in my time. Old
Squire knight was a close-fisted old
skinfiint I rented some land under
him, so know. But Mr.. Baynes is a
real gentleman. he is! Only the other
day he gave two hundred and fifty
pounds to the restoration fund of the
church, and the first year he came to
Bulwick he built a parish hall and
gave 1t to the people. Do you know
him.
NO." I said. But I'd like to. I
hear he's such good chap"

posted my bag at tho local inn, We
went to the mortuary, where I saw
the body Of the young woman In her
wet, bedraggled finery.
In tho night prior to the discovery
II had rained very hard. hence all
footmarks and tracks in the high road

"N1oTHING," was his reply. 1.-THE

could only get the girl identified we
might perhaps move. But what can
we do? There's absolutely nothing
to show in which direction the girl

night that all traces of wheel tracks

L CHEYENNE COUNTY, COLORADO THURSDAY, APRIL
A Damaging Storm

On last Sunday night one of
the worst snow storms and bliz-
yards for the past ten years hit
this locality and by Monday morn
ing had become so severe that it
was impossible for a person to
venture out of doors. The storm
continued all through the day ac-
companied by very high winds
which did considerable damage
to property. There were any
number of houses had their gar
rets full of snow and the &C.
cupants had to work hard the
next day to clean them out in
order not to spoil the fixtures Ct
their living rooms. Windows
were blown out, chimneys blew
over and all such things. Up at
the new high school building the
big chimney at the boiler room
toppled over which will cause .
considerable loss itself. The
White City hall east Of town was
completely wrecked by the storm.
Up to press time we have only
heard of a few stock losses, but
we are of the opinion that the
loss was quite heavy.

Farming Con-
ditions Good

Not being able to venture out
of doors this afternoon (Monday)
we might say for the benefit Of
our many readers on the outside
of Cheyenne county that we en-
joyed another little outing yester-
day into the country and was
greatly surprised to note the vast
number of acres that are being
broke out for spring crops in this
locality. In our last issue some
Of the implement dealers told US
Of a number of tractors they had
disposed Of this spring. Farming
conditions are opening up in
great shape and more spring
wheat is being planted in this
community than ever before and
it is going to be a big year all
through the county. There are
many sections of entirely new
ground being broke out at this
time in preparation for fall plant
ing and it is estimated that in
the neighborhood Of sixty thous-
and acres of winter wheat will
be drilled into the ground this
fall.
During the past three months
Cheyenne county has annexed
many new home builders who
have come here with the idea Of
making this their home and as q
result have, and are building
many new homes in the country
and otherwise making new inn
provements and thus building up
business in our little city and
neighboring towns. Truly. Chey-
enne county and all Colorado has
a wonderful future.
