    100 Years Ago: Denver jewel thieves arrested in Greeley – Greeley Tribune

    100 Years Ago, for the fourth week of February 1922, from the pages of the Greeley Tribune-Republican newspaper:


    Two men who held up a woman in a Denver hotel and stole her jewelry worth $8,500, were arrested in Greeley this week. One of the men was a guard at the hotel.

    Despite the coming Coal Miners' Union strike, only one worker has walked off the job. All the coal mines in Weld County were in operation, except for the Puritan Mine near Frederick. One coal miner left the job there, even though the strike is scheduled for next week.

    The city's health inspector seized eight 4-quarters of beef from the Levy Cash and Carry Meat Market. It was delivered here just a short time ago from a Denver butcher shop. They said the beef smelled badly and was very slimy. They took it out in the country and fed it to pigs on a farm.

    The Rev. L.A. Wilson in his Sunday sermon at the Park Congregational Church in Greeley, complained about teachers. "There are now more school teachers than are needed," he said. "Why should we not take advantage of the law of supply and demand, and cut their wages?"

    The Pawnee County Club met Tuesday in Keota to discuss dividing Weld County into two separate counties. Residents of Grover and New Raymer were also at the meeting, showing support for the measure.

    Someone remarked to Phillips Brooks that atheists seem to lead moral lives. "They have to," said Brooks. "They have no God to forgive them if they don't."

    Accused of being a booze smuggler, a Loveland man told Greeley police that he would never do that, and if they ever found illegal booze in his car he would take six months in jail without a word. Two days later, police caught him in a Greeley alley with five quarts of booze in his car. When the judge asked him why he was in Greeley he said he came from Loveland to Greeley to find a place to stay. "Well, now you have a place to stay,' said the judge as he sentenced him to six months in jail.

    Frank E. Jackson, a former Greeley resident, was again named the National Horseshoe Champion...again. He's held the title for six years, and talks about horseshoe throwing "by the scientific method." He didn't explain what that was. Jackson refers to horseshoe throwing as "Barnyard Golf."


    — 100 Years Ago is taken from the original pages of the Greeley Tribune, the Weld County Republican, and when they merged, the Greeley Tribune-Republican...







    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
    (Psalm 1)
