    100 Years Ago: College Halloween party promises to turn dark hair gray; Former alderman violates his own ordinance – Greeley Tribune

    100 Years Ago, for the fourth week of October 1921, from the pages of the Greeley Tribune-Republican newspaper:


    A Windsor farmer was found not guilty of drunk driving and failing to dim his headlights in an auto accident south of town. A jury of three men found W.H. Thomas not guilty, saying there was no evidence of him being drunk or not dimming his lights. The other driver was just angry with him.

    A Halloween party planned for the Colorado State Teachers College here is promised to be extremely frightening. It has been said the students with the darkest hair will be turned to gray because of the frightful horrors of the evening.

    Three beet field workers were arrested this week after one of them threw a sugar beet at a passing train, breaking a window. After one confessed to the mischief, the other two were released from jail. One of the released men complained that he preferred to stay in jail a few more days, because his sleep at night was the best he'd gotten in many years.

    Military services have been set at Lynn Grove Cemetery on Sunday for Harry Ward Swanson, a Greeley native who was killed two years ago, fighting the Great War in Europe. There will be an auto-driven escort to the cemetery Sunday afternoon. At the request of family, there will be no 21-gun salute.

    In football this weekend, the CSTC team played the freshman team from Denver University. Greeley lost, 62-10.

    Frank Barber, a former Greeley city alderman, once voted in favor of an ordinance which made it illegal to drive an auto past a city streetcar that is unloading passengers. This week, he violated the ordinance and was given a ticket. In court he said he "gladly paid the $9 fine, because the ordinance is important."

    A Denver man was arrested in Greeley this week for an incident on a train in town. A passenger saw a doctor had unknowingly dropped his pocketbook and the Denver man grabbed it and put it in his pocket and the doctor didn't see it happen. When police were called, they found the pocketbook on the man, but the doctor didn't want to press charges and the man was released. There was no money in the pocketbook.

    A law-enforcement raid of a house in Eaton resulted in the arrest of 18 men. They are now in jail, facing charges of Bootlegging, gambling, concealed weapons and running a gaming establishment. More than 30 men were in the house, gambling and drinking. The cost of a thimble-full of whiskey was 25 cents.

    A lot of our driving is on rural section line roads. On coming vehicles who won't dim their lights just drives Mr C crazy! It bothers me as well but then I'm not the one driving!

    Have you noticed that some of the newer vehicles lights are bright even though they're technically not on 'bright'.

    Yes, we've noticed. We drive a Buick LeSabre so we sit pretty low, that is part of the problem, however, we are currently driving a borrowed suv and that doesn't help much.
