Is CHARGED WITH
GIVING BAD CHECKS
AND AUTO THEFT
After Spending Night In Jail In
Julesburg Prisoner Is Turned
Over to Sterling Officers And
Taken to Sterling Monday

A man and women Of neat and pros
porous appearance arrived in Jules
burg Sunday driving an Overland
automobile. They registered ut the
Brown Hotel as Mr.. and Mrs. C. A
MsPhaden of California. This incident
attracted no especial attention at the
time, but a little later that evening
the trend of events brought the visit
ors into the lime-light, and instead
of McPhaden spending the night at
the Brown hotel, he was given free
board and lodging at the county Jail
as guest of sheriff Cunningham.
Upon instructions received from the
sheriff's office at Sterling, sheriff
Cunningham and deputy Clarence Nc
Cone were notified Sunday to be on
the lookout for the pair; that Nc
Phadden was wanted by the Logan
county authorities upon a charge of
passing bogus" checks. The off
GERS here located McPhaden after his
arrival here in company with his
wife. He was arrested and locked up
for safe keeping awaiting the arrival
of the officers from Logan county.
The sheriff of Sterling, accompan-
led by deputies drove to Julesburg
Monday morning, and the prisoner
was turned over to the Logan coun-
ty officers. Both Mr.. McPhaden and
his wife, the latter stylish and
pretty young lady, were taken back to
Sterling that afternoon, as well as the
Overland car which the couple were
driving upon their arrival here the
day previous.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
couple registered at the hotel here as
being from California, McPhaden ad-
mitted to the officers here that his
home was in Colorado. He emphati-
cally proclaimed his innocence of be-
ing implicated in any crime, claim
ing that his check transactions were
of legitimate nature as far as he
was concerned.
Later information received from
Sterling is to the effect that McPhad-
en- is alleged to have stolen the car he
was driving, the theft having been
committed at Walsenburg, Colo. The
checks, said to have been worthless.
were passed on several business men
of Sterling, the total amount said to
have been received by 'McPhaden be-
ing about $500. Attaches of the
sheriff's office at Sterling state that
ing wanted for various offenses at
different Colorado towns, including
Trinidad, Fort Morgan and Greeley.
While in Sterling it is claimed that
McPhaden represented himself as
salesman for the Colorado River Pow
er company.

ATTEMPT MADE
TO WRECK TRAIN
NO. II AT OVID

What appeared to be an attempt to
wreck eastbound Union Pacific pas
senger train No. IL from Denver, was
discovered by the engineer of the
train last Monday evening, just as the
train was pulling out OF Ovid. A
short distance east of the railroad
crossing in Ovid clevice shaped iron
had been laid on one of the rails, the
iron being discovered by the engineer,
who brought the train to a stop, but
not until the engine had passed over
the obstruction. Owing to the fact
that the train was just getting under
headway and going at low rate OF
speed, no damage was done. The
matter was reported by the train
crew. and the following day Union
Pacific special agent went to Ovid to
make an investigation. From the best
information available no clew has
been discovered as to who placed the
iron on the rail. There have been a
number of theories advanced. one be-
ing that perhaps it was the work of
some small boys, while another is that
it was the work of older persons. Had
the train been going through Ovid
at high rate of speed disastrous
wreck would have probably been the
result. If it was the act of boys,
they should be made to realize the
seriousness of the offense.

LARGE NUMBER VISITORS
COMING TO JULESBURG

from large number of towns, Jules
burg will have the responsibility of
providing Accommodations other than
those regularly provided for visitors
to our city. Hospitality of Julesburg
is already known far and near, and
with the coming event Julesburg will
have the opportunity of "doin' things
up brown" in the entertainment line.
We are sure that we voice practically
the unanimous sentiment of the citi-
zenship of our city by stating that
nothing will be left undone by the
community as whole in keeping
open house" and making the visitors
feel "at home" during their stay in
Julesburg.
We should begin at once. and by we
is meant the citizens Of the entire
community, to formulate plans for the
entertainment of the visitors to the
Odd Fellow Anniversary Association
convention. and when June 7th arrives
everything will be in readiness for the
big event, and Julcsburg will have
again demonstrated that whatever it's
progressive citizens start out to do,
the task is accomplished.

sc. HIS. DEFEATS
STERLING AND
KItlBALL TEAMS

In one of the most closely contested
basket ball games played on the
Sterling floor in several years, Jules
burg high school won from the Logan
county aggregation Friday evening
by a score of 21 to 16. Sensational
shots from midfield by c. Barnes, the
stalwark back guard of the visitors,
and fast floor work and accurate
side shots under the basket by Will
son of Julesburg, featured the often
sive play of the winning crew. Jules
burg also presented well worked out
"five man defense" which was impos-
sible for Sterling to penetrate. This
was the stumbling block for the To-
Gals.
One week ago Sterling defeated
Julesburg at Julesburg by an identi-
cal score. Julesburg last night
showed much better form, however,
than they displayed on their home
floor AS the matter stands at pres
ent the two fives are on even terms
in games won and lost.
Sterling was not hitting the basket
Friday night nor was their team play
up to that shown in other games this
season. Waggener showed the best
form for Longs aggregation, being
the high scorer of the evening with
four field and two free baskets to his
credit and in addition going over the
floor like a streak. Schmid sank two
goals from difficult angles and as
usual played a strong floor game.
Regardless of what Sterling attempt
ed, the stalky Barnes twins were on
the job, guarding as if their lives de-
pended upon one game.
The game was close throughout.
In the first quarter, c. Barnes, whose
performance as quarterback on the
Julesburg football team last fall has
not been forgotten, scored three field
baskets for his team at long range.
The score at the close of the first
quarter was Z to in favor of Jules
burg. At the close of the half the
score stood 13 to in favor Of the
visitors. The close of the third quar-
ter showed Julesburg in the lead Is
to 10 and the final count was q to
16. At no time was Sterling able to
forge to the front.
A fair sized crowd witnessed last
nights battle, the extreme cold wealth
er keeping many at home. Follow

TEAM NO. TWO
LEADING In
TOURNAMENT

The third series of the Julesburg
Community Club volley ball tourna-
ment was played at the Sedgwick
County High School gymnasium last
Monday evening.
By winning three straight games
Monday evening Team No. 2, Carl
Williams captain, nosed George Reeds
much touted Team No. l out of first
place. Team No l got off on the
wrong foot, probably over-confident
or underestimated the ability of their
opponents, but at any rate Mr.. Reeds
athletes dropped all three games play
ed during the evening, and are now
reposing in the position of being tied
with Bert Achebach's Team No.
for second place. Both of these teams
have won five games and lost four.
Team No. 8, with its star captain,
DR.. C. A. Law, seems to be the jnx
team of the four. and although doped
to be one of the leaders, apparently is
well settled in the cellar position. By
winning one game out of three Mon
day evening this team now has won
two and lost seven.
There yet remain three series of
three games each to be played in the
tournament, and the remaining nine
games will be hard fought ones by
each team
The results Monday evening were
as follows: Team No. defeated Team
No. 4, Team No. 3 defeated Team No.
1, Team No. 2 defeated Team No. l.,
Team No. 4 defeated Team No. 3,
Team No. defeated Team No. l.,
