Newton Vorce Led Peace
Officer Many a Chate in

Lienver. Active and spry to the
last, Newton Vorce, picturesque fron
tiersman and a real gun tighter of
the early days when the West was
really wild and woolly, Is dead at his
home here at the age of ninety-two.
Vorce was a veteran of the Civil
war, having seen service with the
famous Moseby guerrillas.
He came to Colorado In the middle
sixties and Boon became known far
and Wide for his daring "gun play."
Most of Vorce's life was spent In
the couatry near Deer Trail and By
era, en the prairie east of Denver.
Itie Bret few yean of his career In
Colorado were conflued to Indian
lighting, but later be became Involved
with tbe law and gave many a peace
officer sleepless Bights.
Kleked Hele In Jail.
In 1887 Vorce was arrested for
miner offense and was locked up In
the Arapahoe County jail. Tiring of
the drab surroundings, he kicked a

MAKING GOOD IN
A SMALL TOWN
Real Storiet About Real Girlt
By MRS. HARLAN D H. ALLEN
I I I I 1 1 I I I I I I I III I I I I I I I 1 I
TO BEE OR NOT TO BEE
A "BACK-LOTTER," as profea
slonal apiarists dub the amateur
beekeeper, la pictured as going about
among his bees with his eyes fixed on
a copy of Maeterlinck or Falire, and
his mind more engrossed with the
bees' history and habits than with
their remunerative possibilities. But
a 'buck-lotler" la often a uiouey-muk'
erl
"I was afraid I'd 'get stung' when
I first started keeping bees," admitted
a "back-lotter," a small town girl,
met recently, "but I know now that
only careless persons are stung by
bees. Hie work Is remunerative and
Is particularly suited to women, too,
because there la nothing heavy to do
and a womun's gentleness In handling
Is a real asset."
The "back-lotter" should wear a
veil of mosquito netting over her face
and gloves on her hands; und she
should use a smoker when opening
the hives. Anyway, a stins Is not such
a serious mutter. When the barb Is
removed, a little amigoiWa is the in
fallible remedy.
' The bee-kieper should start her
apiary In the sprint; lief ore swarming
begins, or In the fall Just after the
last honey llow. She should begin
with only throe or four hives, Incrcas-
Ing the number as the bees swarm.
She should save cost and rls',; of trans
portatlon by huyliitf her hives us near
home us possible. She may even be
able to get them from a neighbor In
exchange for poultry or some other
produce. A good choice Is golden col
ored Italian stock, famous for sweet
temper and honey-gutlierlng ability.
The common black bees are often vi
cious. Ttie standard movable, dove
tailed hive Is the best type.
The amateur apiarist can learn tbe
details of the work by visiting expe
rienced beekeepers, and by reading
books and magazines on bee culture.
If she can find someone to help her
bit at times, It will be most profit
able for her to produce extracted
honey. This means that she will have
to buy a machine called a honey ex
tractor, but It will pay for Itself In
a short time.
If the "back-lotter" Is enterprising,
she may be able to dispose of her en
tire output In her own home town.
If she combines cleverness with
caution, she will easily contrive, In
her beekeeping, not to "get stung,"
either physically or financially.

Vorce then enieig'd with a gun In
each hi nd spitting tire. He was over
powered and recaptured.
Several years later Vorce "shot up"
tbe town of Evans. Galloping through
the main street on horseback, he
smashed, with bullets, every one of
the town's acetylene street hnnps and
defied the populace, who poured out
of their homes, with pistols and rifles.
Later Vorce displayed his dislike
for Immigrant labor when he shot up
a railroad car housing a score of
Greek laborers, near Byers.
Escapades Continued.
Vorce's aunwleldlna escapades con
tinued Intermittently. At La Salle he
forced a prominent Greeley business
man to dance a Jig In the main street,
to tbe tune of blazing revolvers. When
he was pursued by a posse, after this
outbreak, Vorce was surrounded In
the "Bud Lands" In eastern Colorado.
He took refuge In a sheep-herder's
ducout, and when the posse located
him he forced the sheep-herder to put
on Vorce's wearing apparel and leave
the dugout. While the posse was
chaxlns the sheeuman Vorce made
good his escape.
Despite his wild career, Vorce was
a favorite with tbe old-time cattle
kings and worked as a cowpuncher on
numerous tsncheB.Jielng employed on
