THE CANON CHY CANNON
fhe Canon City Record. Thursday. September 18, 1919
C. C. H. S. PLANNING
A BIG DOWN TOWN
RALLY ON FRIDAY
The Canon City high school ath etic
program is starting out in fine shape
and the boys and g:rls have shown a
wonderru. interest in the plans for
the year. Football is the game of
prv-sen inte.est. and an excellent lot
of material has reported to Coach
Hickey for training.
Three football teams are out on the
fleid every even.ng. and out of this
wealth of material Hickey is confi
dent he can make a championship
team. Many of th»» boys have not had
football experience, but they hav**
weight, speed and a good head in Their
favor. Clark Hoover, formerly ot
£a»t Denver is a veteran, and Mom
Lewis had some experience at Flot
ence.
Dom'd Foo*e, who Juat returned
from the fight mg front in France, a
the giant of the squad, being over six
feet tall and weighing 185 poundr
He has been trained by Uncle Sam
uuti do »nt carry >n ounce of sur
plus fat and la in prime condition for
the aensoa. ‘ ...J
Lewis vioodrlrh and Joe McWtlson
are among the other likely candidates
for the first team. Indications now
point to an inexperienced team, but
with plenty of weight and speed, with
several good kickers- and forward
3ass»rs being developed. Aa most of
the other teams in the Arkansas val
ley conference will be inexperienced
too. the boys here will not be under
so great a handicap from that poin’
The practice up o the present has
been largely of the pre inrnary sor*
because of the lack of equipment, but
which has been ordered, and .s ex
pected before the eng of the week.
Friday night the high school wil
hold a big open-air rally down town
for the purpose of stirring up interest
in the football season. Canon City
will play Colorado Springs. Pueblo and
several other teams this year, and In
order to make the season successful
from every standpoint the boys need
the support of the citizens of Cano*
City. Because of inactivities In other
years the association treasury ha
been depleted and the boys must but'd
up a financial resource for equipment
and other expenses befo e they car
expect to do a great daal during the
season.
THOMAS AUTO
THIEVES CAUGHT
AT ANTONITO ARE
CANON BOYS
Sheriff Newcomb and T. T. Thomas
returned to Canon City at 9 o'clock
this morning with the two beys, Roy
Hayworth and Glen O. Layman, who
the Buick-Six automobile be
longing to "Mike” Tcotnas from in
front of the First Presbyterian church
last' Sunday night. The boys were
picked up by the authorities near An
tonito in Coneios county, instead of be
tween Monte Vista and Saguache, a.-*
at first reported nere.
Tfi® bo> s were locked up in the An
tonian Jail, an insecure, ramshackle
structure, shortly after their arrest,
and during the following night they
brokjs out and attempted to make their
way into New Mexico, but were ap
piehpndei by the officers of Conejos
coustty and taken back to Antonito
vhspe they were given into the cus
tody of Sheriff Newcomb. It was un
derstood here that the boys were
lockfd up at Alamosa, and Sheriff
Newsomb and Mr. Thomas left here
Monday night for that place. On
their arrival there it was learned that
they were at Antonito and they left at
once for that point. When they
reached Antonito the boys were. gone,
not..baling been recaptured their,
escape from Jail. A short time after
wards. however, they were anpre-
Lended and again placed in the lockup.
It wap guarded to prevent the prison
ers from making a second getaway Im
possible
Onhxaving the prisoners turned over
to Sheriff Newcomb was sur
prised to learn that they were bo»h
Canon Ct’y boys. Instead *»f xtraßjeera,
as be had been led to believe. The
two boys were Roy Havwortii and;
Glen O. Layman, aged 18 and i:». re-:
Spec live Ijl They had In their posses
; sion at tJffoim* at tMq arrest, in ad- j
J Mv.>Tbeeiaa *aatomohiU. a 2
* Goodrich tire, a couple of shirts, a
raincoat, a la probe and two canteens ,
for carrying water, which they stold
from the garage of Dali DeWeese on
Elm avenue. Lincoln Park, on last
Wednesday night. The value of the
stuff sto’en from Mr. DeWeese alone
is more than sufficient to constitute
a case of grand larceny.
After the prisoners were delivered
to them by the Antonito authorities
Sheriff Newcomb and Mr. Thomas
started back with them to Canon City
In the automobile which Hayworth
and Layman had stolen. Mr. Thomas
drove the car and they traveled a 1
night Tuesday night. They reached
Salida at 4 o’clock this morning and
waited there long enough to get break
fast. The trip was a long and tire
some one and officers and prisoners
were a weary bunch on their arrival
here at 9 o’clock this morning.
Hayworth and Layman were given
quarters in the county jaii pending a
preliminary bearing of the charge
against them, which will probably not
take place before Friday or Saturday.
They will be held to answer to the
November term of the district court
for an offense that has attached to it
a severe penalty.

three and a half billions of dollars
for the current fiscal year. Chairman
Good of the house appropriations com
mittee has informed congress.
He has warned congress that the
condition confronting the treasury de

Council Discusses
Various Things
The regular semi-monhly meeti:ig
of the city council was hbld Monday
night with Mayor Biggs presiding and
all members present, except Aider
men W. A. Chap-on and W. P. Tag
gart. The minutes of the previous
session were read by the city ciert
and adopted without change.
Mrs- T. M. Harding appeared before
the council in the interest of the
Cahon City Victory Girls* Chorus and
made inquiry if It was possible for
! advertising purposes to obtaiu a
financial donation from the public
money to assist in defraying the ex
pense of sending the Canon City Vic
tory* Girls’ Chorus to Pueblo on Sep
tember 25 to sine be:*o:e President
Wilson, for which they hav.» accepted
an invitation from the management of
the state fair association. The ut-;
most sympathy was sbbwn by the
council in Mrs. Harding's inquiry and
request, but aa there is no money in
:he miscellaneous fund for advertis
: ing or other matters of that nature,
and no transfer can legally be made
j from one fund to another, it was *le
| cided that nothing could be done
j much aa the coa»ciV»«»W-Uke t**ktp
in such an undertaking. When the
annual budget i» made up definite and
1 specific appropriations are made far
'he various departments of the city
governnxen: and when any one of them
becomes exhausted it can not be re
cruited from other administrative
funds.
The specifil work of the fire and or
dinance committee, with which they
were commissioned at the last l Dol
ing of the council, was continue i in
relation to their investigations con
cerning the establishment of gasoline
tanks for public use within the city
limits. The committees have h*»ld
several conferences with Insurance
agents and other representatives of
the business Interests of the com nu
nity. but the data they have accumu
lated by reason of their inquiry is not
sufficient to warrant them in makin*.
a final report.
It was decided by tne city counc'l
that the electric light poles with*a tht
city limits must be painted grav. over
a dark-colored base. Hie painting
will be done at the exp *nse and under
tli' supervision of the electric puwei
company.
Supt. John Chetelat of the water
v _»rks department repar'ed that the
public watering trough for livettocl
onlered erected on Nor.-i Ninth 3treet
in H&nling’s addition bv the council
a month ago had be?n installed nnd
was now in use.
There being not other business
awaiting its consideration the coun
cil adjourned until Monday evening.

THE DEATH LIST
CLIMBS IN AWFUL
STORM ALONG
COAST OF TEXAS
250 People are Dead as Result
of Hurricane—Twenty-Nine
Buried in One Grave.
<Br United Prm.l
Houston, Tex., Sept. 17—More than
250 people are dead, as the result of
Sunoay's storm and tidal wave along
tne Texas coast, is the latest conserv
ative estimate.
The bodies of 29 women and chil
dren were buried in a single grave
last night-Tired re ief workers, after
4S hours of continuous labor, are still
searching for the dead and aiding the
homeless.
Ths property damage in the five
devatated counties la tn excess of
$10,000,000. The- first eye-witness to
tel; the story of the storm declares
that the water began rising along the
coast early Sunday morning and finally
-a great wall of water rushed inland
Sunday afternoon, carrying every
thing before it.
The velocity of the wind increased
to 100 miles an hour, and oil tanks and
refineries went down before it. The
devastated area was covered with a
black layer of oil. which rendered the
bodies of the dead almost unrecogniz
able.
Soldiers are helping clearing away
the debris and bury the dead- The
bodies of the unidentified dead are be
ing photographed and bits of their
clothing saved to aid in a a ter identi
fication.
The temporary morgue is besieged
with frantic people who are trying to
locate missing members of their fam
ilies. The refugees are being cared
for in tents.
Corpus Christi, Tex.. Sept. 17.—A
chilly, intermittent rainfall is adding
to the suffering of thousands of ref.
ugees in the storm-devastated counties
of Texas. Four relief trains have ar
rived here and the relief committee
has issued an appeal for financial aid.
Texas cities are all raising relief
funds. An accurate list of the dead
is impossible yet. but will be about

Wintering Steers
and Beef Cows
The principal object In wintering
stock cattle is to carry them through
cheaply without letting them 'oee
flesh. It is poor enconoruy to under
feed cattle in winter and let them lose
much that they gained in the sum
mer time. Heavy feeding of calves
and yearlings in winter is expensive
and reduces the gains they will make
on grass the fo'lowing summer when
gains are cheap.
Straw, beet pulp, sugar beets, can
all be used to advantage. Cows can
be wintered on good hay alone or on
30 pounds of kafir silage and one *
pound cottonseed meal a day. Alfalfa
hay or upland hays make good rations
in themselves, «rhi e with prairie or
cane hay or Sudan grass. It will. be
better to give some extra feed, espe
cially to cowa that are to drop calves.
Some shelter is advisable In winter,
even though only a windbreak. Where
there are plenty of trees, cattle can
often get along very well with these
for shelter. The following are moi»
representative rations that might be
used In wiatereing stock where fa*~
ten lag for market Is not desired: 1—
Twenty pounds hay (alfalfa or park
hay). *— I Twenty-five pounds ease
hay or com fodder, one pound potto*-
seed cake. 3 —Thirty pounds can*, nr ,
