Fifty years is a long time for
a man toremember a particular
incident, even to the day and hour
that certain business transaction
confronted him, some of which
might he very pleasant and some
very unpleasant. Nevertheless,
such is the fact with our excel
lent old friend, A. M. Holmes of
Murray, father of James Holmes,
Mrs. W. S. Smith of Murray . and
Mrs. C. A. Rawls of this city. Well
does he remember fifty years ago
today, at which time he crossed
the Platte river at Julesburg,
Colorado, with his freighting out
fit on the ice. At that time he
says there was twelve inches of
snow all over the country around
Plattsmoulh, which melted away
within two or three weeks. Dur
ing the remainder of which win
ter no more snow fell and the
weather was delightful all the
time.
Mr. Holmes well remembers
this fact, for he was out most all
the time, as in Ihe fall of '02 he
made an effort to sell his crop of
wheat in this city, or ralher in
those days a village, or even posl
ollice, and boat shipping poiul.
and he was offered only Hi) cents
per bushel for. it. This offer was
made in trade al I hat, by one of
the general merchandise stores
here al that lime. Mr. Holmes
refused Ihis oiler and took bis
wheat to Ileisel's mill, bad il
ground into Hour and started for
Denver, with two Ions of flour on
bis freight wagon, drawn by two
yoke of cattle. The lirsl ?nil
miles of this trip was made by
Mr. Holmes alone, after which he
fell in with several other freighl-
ers ami the rest oi uie irip was
made with I hem.
On reaching Denver Mr, Holmes
sold his (lour for (.l!i li per
hundred weight, which netted him
a good profit for his trip of
seventy-five days, which was Ihe
usual time required for Ihe round
trip to Denver in those days, with
oxen and a good load.
The larger portion of the fifty
years since that Irip Mr. Holmes
has resided in Cass county, and
every man within his large pircle
of friends have looked upon him
in the highest esteem.

LIFT BAN ON SOCIALISTS
Little Falls Authorities Cease to Try
to Bar Oratory.
Little Falls. N. Y Oct. 24. A
week's resistance to the Invasion ot
Socialist rators from Schenectady,
who were arrested when they tried to
address factory strikers here, was
called off by the local authorities when
they allowed a number of prominent
Socialists to address the strikers.
For four hours the Socialists held
an open air meeting, which wns at
tended by several hundred strikers
from the local knitting mills.

Mayor Lunn of Schenectady and by

candidate for governor, both of whom
denounced the efforts of the authori
ties to curtail the rights of free
speech.
The concessions made by the loca'
