Stork 0vertakes the
D. &R G. ". Train
Going to Alamosa

1t is no trouble at all for the
stork to overtake the D. &
r. G. w. as it leisurely meand-
ers between the various divis-
ion points.
On the train going from
Salida to Alamosa Wednesday
were a Mexican couple named
Martinez who were returning
to Mexico. The woman became
very sick, but neither she nor
her husband could speak En-
glish and it was impossible for
the passengers in their coach
to understand them. Finally
q Mexican boy was found on
the train. After talking to
the couple he explained to the
conductor that the stork had
caught up with the train.
The conductor, Mack Aillon
was acquainted with Mrs.
Eugene Hayes of Monte Vista
who happened to be on the
train and explained the stu
alton to her. Mrs. Hayes vol
unteered to take charge of the
case. Several of the other
women passengers offered
their services, among them
Leila L. Mayme, district
deputy sof the Woman's Bene-
fit Association of the Macs
bees, of Denver.
The men were sent into the
smoker and the coach made
into . hospital. The nurses
were very competent and took
charge of the Mexican wo-
man with professional ease.
A bed was improvised on the
seats and within q short time
a seven pound boy was usher
ed into the world.
The parents were highly
pleased with the attention
given the mother and the baby
and named the boy Mack"
in honor of the conductor.

Rio Crande Sheriff
Goes Clear to Kansas
To Get Wrong Man

1t seems that Sheriff Harper
pulled "a boner" when he
brought, Frank Wells of Lib
eral, Kansas, here charging
him with forging a number of
checks on Monte Vista busi-
ness houses.
AS mentioned in last weeks
Journal, Sheriff Harper with
extradition papers from Gov
ernor Sweet which were hon
iored by Governor Davis Of
Kansas, went to Liberal, Kans.,
to get Frank Wells charged
with forging checks here, and
brought him back to Monte
Vista. Wells protested that
he was innocent and accord
ing to q statement he made in
Monte Vista, several of the
Liberal business men tried to
assure the Colorado Sheriff
that Wells had been in Liberal
all winter and that he did not
fit the description of the man
wanted in Monte Vista.
But the sheriff at Liberal
seemed to think Wells was the
man wante d SO Harper
brought him back.
When the Monte Vista bust
ness men who were victims OF
the forger said that Wells of
Liberal was not the Frank
Wells who passed the bad
checks. the sheriff turned the
Kansas man loose in Monte
Vista without funds. Wells
says unless the county pays
him for his time lost and pro-
vides funds for his return to
Liberal, he intends to bring
suit.

MONTE SHOPPERS LIKED
DOLLAR DAY BARGAINS

The first dollar day in
Monte Vista was a decided
success. All merchants re-
port . good business Wednes-
day. Although many of the
buyers when they first came
down town were somewhat
"leary" for fear q hoax would
be pulled on them. they soon
discovered that the dollar da,
specials were first class mer-
chandise for which they paid
much more on other days.
Several Of the stores had such
a demand for their specials
that although they started out
with a good supply. they ran
out by the close of the after.
noon.
This ia just the first of a
series Of cooperative dollar
days which will be held at
frequent intervals In Monte
Vista. Such occasions denote
the prosressiveness Of the
merchants Of this town and
the articles offered In the
Wednesday dollar day sale
could not be duplicated At q
price moro reasonable In any
sale which the cities put on.
Since the merchants Of Monte
Vista depend upon the home
trade and not any upon tran.
sient trade, their merchandise
must bs good IN order to stand
the test.

high school was credited with
two official victories over the
local high school team in the
basketball games last Friday
and Saturday nights. the
Monte Vista quintet is entitled
to q Newspaper decision" in
the first game and in all fair
ness may be said to have
divided honors evenly with
one Of the fastest high school
teams in the state.
Friday night, before an
audience Of over five hundred
people, the Pueblo boys start
ed the game with a rush. over
whelming the locals with the
brilliance and speed Of their
effective team work and 1T
the end Of the first quarter
the score stood Is to 4 in favor
Of the visitors.
During the second quarter
the Monte boys had regained
their confidence and showed
that they also knew something
Of the basketball game by
making Is points. The Wild
cats scored II more points and
at the end Of the half were
leading by ten markers.
With the opening of the
third quarter. Monte began
coming into her own. Basket
after basket brought the score
upward for the locals and
when they tied Central the
crowd went wild. At the end
Of this quarter Monte had
two points to the good. the
score being 50 to SO.
Both teams fought and
fought hard during the last
quarter with each team alter
mating In the lead. Just before
the time was up ending the
hail.. the referees whistle
blew for ball out Of bounds.
Monte had the ball and threw
It to the referee who gave it
to Pueblo 10 put into play and
that team made . basket just
before the gun was fired to
close the game. The score was
tied ]6 to l6 ano In the five
minutes given to play off the
tie. Central raised her score
with four baskets while Monte
only managed to get tive
basksts.
The rsferes's action in pass
Ing the ball to Pueblo after
blowing the whistle was clear
ly illegal and he publicly ad-
mitted his error the following
night. This official error
which favored Pueblo reverts
the situation to that stage Of
the game In which It occurred
and - Monte was In the lead
ct that time with only . few
seconds yet to play. the Silver
and Gold u entitled to the
benafit Of the doubt and
should be credited with . vic
tory.
Preceding the game Friday
night the high school girli
played the Troopsttes. The
Troopst*ss made their bigges,
gain during the first quarter
when they made six points
whils the high school girls
led with eleven points. BY the
end Of TIE first hak, the troop

five points bringing the final
score up to 20 to 15 in favor
of the high school.
A larger crowd was present
Saturday night to witness the
last of the games between the
silver and gold and the Pueblo
boys. Like the previous night,
Pueblo started off with the
game during the first quarter.
In fact the Wildcats had a
score of IL while the Monte
boys were not even able to
make a basket. Also like the
hit before, the Monte boys
began their gain in the Sec
ond quarter. BY the end of
the first half the score was %
to 10.
But Monte was gaining. At
the end of the third quarter
the silver and gold was only
five points behind Central, the
score standing 20 to "a. It
was in the last quarter that
the game became exciting.
Monte caught up with Pueblo
and then first one was in the
lead and then the other. A
half a minute before the game
closed, Monte was leading SO
to IS and then Pueblo made
a field goal which gave her
the lead Of 81 to SO. Before
the ball had time to get start
ed into good play. the game
was over.
The first part of the game
Saturday night, Monte play
ed in q bunch. When one Of
the men got the ball. there
was no one playing back to
throw 1t to. Many times the
long shots taken at the goals
were necessities. However.
during the latter part of the
game when the boys began to
play team work they began
to roll up the score.
The Pueblo boys played q
mighty clean game and every
one Of the players was . good
sportsman. Their playing was
Of = very superior quality and
their team work wonderful.
They had 4 play for every
position. Their coach has
been with them four years
which probably accounts for
part Of their success.
Monte Vista people are
proud Of the showing the
local boys made. Knowing the
reputation which the Central
high has, nearly every one
thought Monte would be left
behind and the first quarter
only strengthened their belief.
Pueblo showed the Monte boys
how team work could be used
and no doubt Monte boys are
so percent better team than
than they were before the
games.
The Pueblo coach stated
that Monte has two Of the
best forwards he has ever seen
on any high school team.

Pueblo Monte Vista games at
the end Of each quarter:
