Victor G. Baker
For County Clerk

1t was on Saturday afternoon
that bunch of personal friends
jumped rough shod on Victor
Baker and wanted him to get
into the race for clerk and re-
corder of the county.
OF course the young man did
mt know just what to say
right off the bat, and so told
them he would think it over;
and the next thing he knew he
had been designated in the as
sembly - and that's how Vic
Baker got into the race for
county clerk.
The young man has had both
a farming and business career.
In La Junta the Bakers were in
the store business. and eleven
years ago moved to Springfield
and again went into the store
business. and also farming and
cattle, later selling the store and
giving all their attention to
farming,
three years ago Victor G.
went into their present store as
. partner, and is now one Of the
best business young men OF
Springfield. by his business
management, honesty and ef-
forts to please and accommodate
building up a wonderful patron
age for their store.
! A few years ago the young
man after finishing his high
school work at home, attended
business college in Pueblo, TAX
ing bookkeeping and typawrit-
ing, thus fitting himself for q
business career of any kind.
Young Baker comes to you
with every requisite qualification
for the Office to which he
aspire s. and if elected will bring
. the same service and economy to
the Office he has brought to the
store in which he is q partner.
and On this basis asks for the

WIN E. Dunivan
For County Sheriff ;

An analysis of the primary vote
that made VIM E. Dunivan the
democratic nominee for sheriff
of Baca county shows that he
owes his nomination to the SOL
dier vote.
Our readers will remember
the letters that came to the
damocrat-Herald from overseas
during the world war. Those
letters were written by Billy
Dunivap, he sometimes using
German bomb shells as desk to
write them on.
Billy Dunivan was in the thick
of it from the time he wen,
over there until old Bill Holler'
horn hollered enough.
And when he came back be
didn't hang around waiting for
something to turn up." but
came back to his farm and went
to work.
We predict for Billy rousing
vote in November, of both d. m:
ocrats and republicans; and wht n
elected we haven't the least
doubt that he will do his duty ae
sheriff the same as he did when
he was in the thick of the fight
at Argonne Forest, and other
battle fields of Europe.
No one will make mistake by
voting for Billy Dunivan fol
sheriff of Baca county.

Hardly three months after her

But her father might yet be !iv-

that she would find her father

preparations for the trip, little

from there down to Springfield
she could go by stage. Arriving
at Lamar, she saw u man walk

When she stepped from the
train he looked in her direction
and slowly came towards her.
She hardly knew what to do;
she looked around, and there
was no one in sight but the
man.
II will go into the depot and
ask the agent how to get to

picked up her grip.
The man advanced. Going to

Yes, sir. Can You tell me

Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Lewistown, Dec. 22.-Jndge 5. y.
McKinnon Of Miles City, presiding for
Judge R. 0 Tobel, who is Ill, Thurs
day morning sustained a motion OF the
defense for a directed verdict OF not
guilty in the case of Peter Moe charged
with a statutory assault, his daughter
being the complainant.
While the complainant came through
with testimony as to the offense, she
was not a strong witness for the state
and an affidavit made by her after
she had signed the complaint, totally
retracted the charge. Still later, when
Moe was in Jail, she wrote him a pltlfui
letter, begging forgiveness for the
great wrong she had done him INT SO
on, all these matters being introduced
in evidence.
The court, in giving the instruction
as to the verdict. said the jurors were
not bound to abide by it if they took
q different view. 1t was thought they
would return Immediately and they did
come in three times for instructions
and to have evidence read, and finally,
after 4 p. M, they returned a verdict
Of guilty. fixing the penalty at from
10 to 20 years. Under h circum-
stances, the verdict was somewhat OF a
surprise. 1t is assumed generally that
a new trial will unquestionably be
granted.

Dress of Haitian

Cape Haitien.-(Correspondence Of
The Associated Press. Hiatt often
has been referred to as a backward
nation. but in dress the Haitian

traits. Short skirts and the trick Of

woman began to roll her own. In
that year the occupation forces OF
American marines and shore leave
parties of ~bluejackets brought a gold
en- trail of American coin to the I'M
poverished island. Regiments and
ships bought freely in the markets.
and the women reaped the benetlt.
Haiti is a country of caste, and the
possession Of shoes and stockings
marks a decided social advance for
the peasant class. They invested
their earnings in them, but drew the
line at carriers, and necessity taught
them d substitute.
There is one distinctive feature of
women's dress in Haitian peasant
circles. however, that will hardly find
favor in the sophisticated eyes of the
American flapper. Frequently one
sees among the universal faded blue
and white attire, one of red. white
