Judge Russell, of Rocky Ford, il.
one of eur pioneer farmers of Bent
county and through his industry and
knowledge has demonstrated beyond
doubt the capabilities of the soil in
the Arkansas valley when intelli-
gently cultivated. The judge thresh-
ed on his ranch this past fall over
1000 bushels of oats and 5000 lbs
of alfalfa seed, besides stacking 400
tons of alfalfa, which he has been
feeding to bunch of steers during
the past winter, so head which he
will turn off in Il few days, fattcned

A correspondent with practical ex
periencs writing to the San Luis
Graphic gives the following inform.
alton as to the profit of producing
cream. A dozen good COWS, we'll
cared for, should give gross proht
of about 5000 ayear, which will buy
yonr groceries and keep you out of
debt. A community milking 2o9
cows will be at least $4,000 better
off each year than a like community
that milk no cows. A herd of dairy
cows will fill yoar stomach with
good victuals, yourpocket with good
money, and be the means of raising
good crops from your land. Salute

A new subscriber at Pueblo is very
enthusiastic over the future of that
section. In letter to us he saws:
"The whole Arkansas valley will be
settled up inside of two years and
many of your northern people will
move down into the new garden of
fruits, flowers and fertility" The
Arkansas valley in Colorado, we are
inclined to believe, will become a
tine horticultural section some day.

The Burglar and theLon
Widow.
Detroit Free Press:

Detroit Free Press:
A burglar got into the house of
frail looking, sad eyed little widow
in Tucson the other night. Not find
ing any valuables down stairs he
s:ealthily assembled to the second
floor and entered the room where the
sleeping and unsuspecting woman
lays with a smile that told of pleas
ant dreams on her lips.
Roughly shaking her the bastard
ly intruder said, gruffiy:
"Here, wake up; now keep cool; /;
no use yelling; know as well as
you do that you're alone in the
house; just hand oyer the keys to
here, stop that! Let go! Hell! Muir.
der! Help! Help! O.o-o-h! O-o-oh!
When the police finally got there
they found the burglar done up with
clothes line as neatly as a grocer
does up ten ponnds of sugar. He
was Just opening his eyes in the
"coming to" process; when they rest
ed on the little widow they took on
a beseeching look rs he shivered and
gasped out:
Don't leave me alone with hel
again, gentlemen; please don't. I've
killed Rocky mountain lions and she
bears with young cubs, and tackled
two hycnas at time, but this is M,
first experience with lone Arizon,

A call has been published for q
convention of farmers and stockmen
of Pueblo county with view of or
ganIzing an association for mutual
benefit and action. 1t will be found
upon consideration that there is great
use for such society. The purpose
of such an organization differ mate
rally from those of range stock as
sociation or fair association. We
take it that the promoters of this
movement have in view bringing in
20 a closer bond of sympathy the
farming interest, by which is mean.
breeders of stock OH farms, dairy
farmers, fruit and vegetable farmers,
feed and grain growers. That each
individual engaged in the above par
suits should deem himself independ-
ent of co-opperatlon, or SO wise as not
to gain anything by an exchange of
views, is simply absurd. One of the
best fields in which to search after
wisdom is the experiences and con-
clusion of other men. Each man, ii
is true, picks up something from an
original source himself. An intelli
gence pool is what is wanted. The
objects and benefits of such an union
will be more apparent as 1t gets un
der way. It's meetings might be
monthly or quarterly. The vital in
terests of the farming community OF
the county will be the topics to dis
cuss. Safe conclusions will thus be
reached and prudential and effectiv.
action can be taken. City and coun
ty affairs rs well as legislation affect
ing the interests of Pueblo count,
affairs can be influenced. Saturday
April 7th, is tho date. Let other en-
gagements for the time stand asid,
that this convention may be mad,
the most important ever held In thu

Fruit growing in Colorado has
grown from an experimental to a
profitable business and preseats great
promises for the future. As to its
probabilities and possibilities DIR.
Alexander Shaw, who is the &C.
knowledged leader in promoting the
frnit growing interests of the state liz
the most reliable authority. From
this gentleman we give a few con.
densed facts. He claims that the
temperature and the bright sunshine
is well adapted to fruit growing. He
shows immense areas of land on both
sides of the range where fruit can be
successfully grown, and that south
western Colorado is peculiarly adapt
ed to peach raising. "As rule"
he says, 81 know Of no country that
will grow and mature good wheat
and the Hubbard SOU ash that will
not make a good apple country. If
this be true, then the apple culture
from the extreme northern to the
southern line has been established
beyond doubt" DR.. Shaw has an
orchard of ten acres and he has been
abundantly successful in the cult
vation of all kinds of fruits, from the
smallest of berries to the most lux
urious of the larger fruits. A large
number of other horticulturists in
the state haye done likewise, and
what has been accomplished by
them can be done by the great army
of immigrants soon to come Dem

The decision in the contest case
was delivered by County Judge
Bradford yesterday afternoon, but as
the case has become rather old very
little interest was manifest among
our citizens regarding the outcome,
as il was understood by everyone
that the proceedings in the county
court were only preliminary to fight
ing the matter in the supreme court.
where decisions upon law and fact
would be made by the most eminent
legal authority in Colorado. Tho
case has occupied the attention of
the county court during nearly five
months and we presume that in that
time all the evidence bearing upon
tho Issue has been hunted up and
presented in proper form. We have
no intention to enter into contro-
versy with the judge of the county
court regarding his, decision and We
doubt whether he would, under any
condition, enter into one with US on
the issue, bat we are entitled to an
honest expression of opinion regard
less of any court, and We prcpose to
express it now although we kept 81
lent throughout the entire trial of
the issue when several of the demo-
cratic papers of the county were
singing insult and dirt asthe son-
testee until we shamed them into
acting in decent manner and leave
the decision of the case to the courts.
That decision has finally come and
it is contrary to anything that We
expected, but Is 1t is we accept it
and if the decision cannot be re-
versed in the supreme court upon the
law and evidence we hold ourselves
in readiness to prove to the demo-
cratic party Of Bent county that in
the elections to be held in the fall Of
1889 that the sequestered honors of
the republicans will be restored ten
fold and We are satisfied to appeal
the cause to the people, who will
render verdict at the next county
election that will put the question
beyond the power of any court to
decide. The main issues upon which
the decision rendered by Judge Brad
ford arc as follows:
On account of personal disquali6-
cation Mr.. Kellogg loses 10 votes at
Sheridan, one each in Cheyenne
Wells, Water Valley, Arlington and
nine at Wilde and also 4s votes mt
Sheridan on account of using yellow
tickets and so votes at Wilde on ac-
count OF presumed tampering with
the ballot boxes. Mr.. Hickman loses
votes throughout the various pre-
cincts on account of personal dis
qualification. The summary of til 9
decision is As follows:
Bent County register., 1888-04-07

Leaving s55
The decree of the court is that Mr..
Hickman is elected by majority of
IS legal votes and that the certi6-
cate of election issued to Mr.. Kel-
logg shall be held as naught. Mr..
Kellogg. through his attorney, ]. G.
Coad, made exceptions to the finding
of the court'in each and every par
ticular, to the decree, the opinion
and the judgment and gave notice
of appeal to the supreme court OF
Colorado. = Las Animas Leader.

Is Supposed, From the Effects
of Smoking Foul Cigar.
The police at the Margaret street sub
station We're notified early Sunday
morning of the sudden and mysterious
death of August Deem, a laborer, at his
boarding house, No. 749 Fauquier street.
Capt, Hauft and Coroner Quinn went
to the place and learned that
Deen died in considerable agony,
such as might result from poi
son. Deem and his roommate
had walked down town Saturday night
and had stopped at lottery snap store
on lower Seventh street, where Gus
toners are given a cigar with every
purchase. Deem bought a celluloid
collar and his friend purchased pair
of socks. They were each given cigar
of foul variety that no ordinary man
would dare to smoke. Starting home
the two lighted their cigars, and after
smoking a short time Deem became sick
and stopped to vomit. His companion
also felt somewhat dizzy. Deen went to
bed Immediately on arriving at the
boarding house, and in three hours his
roommate was awakened by his groanS.
Before physician could be summoned
he had died.
1t is believed that Deem was poisoned
by the cigar he smoked. Coroner Quinn
seized bCX of the same variety and will
make an analysis. DR.. Amos was
directed to make post mortem eXamin
alton and he found symptoms that death
resulted from poison. An inquest will
be held to-day.

The Queer Mania of Parmly Bill
lings, Son of the Great Railroad


The Queer Mania of Parmly Bill
Iings, Son of the Great Railroad
Magnate.
Young Parmly Billings who died at
the Hotel Richelieu, Chicago, last week
after collecting one of the most extra
ordinary wardrobes one man ever pos
sessed, was the oldest son of Frederick
Billings, of Woodstock, vt. His father
is supposed to be the richest man in
New England. He used to be the
President of the Northern Pacific rail
named for him. He has law office Oh
Broadway, near Maiden lane, New
York, and a winter residence on Madi-
son avenue. Parmly was about twenty
seven years old, of polish ed manners,
remarkably handsome and very bright.
He was in Amherst college for while,
but got in some trouble with college
authorities and graduated at Williams.
He tried life i'll New York, where his
abundant wealth enabled him to live in
great luxury, and then for change he
went upon a cattle ranch in Montana.
When he tired OF that his father set
him up in the banking business at Bill
lings, but he has spent most Of his time
in roaming restlessly about the country
from Vermont to the Pacific coast. He
had wonderfully fascinating address.
He usually vibrated between the parlors
of wealthy people and cattle ranches
and the homes of cowboys, with whom
he associated from pure love of excite
ment. He had hosts of acquaintanceS
in every city in the-West and the society
people did not admire him any more
heartily for his courtly presence than
tl,kaa III fC,. II
tivity and good cOmradeShip. He came
to Chicago six weeks ago suffering from
a general breaking down of the system,
He was to be treated by celebrated
physician. He lived pretty quietly at
his hotel, but he was particularly noted
for his one mania which had been his
hobby all his life, and that was clothes,
The hotel people say he had new suit
sent home to him nearly every day.
His death was unexpected, though he
had been sick long and was very feeble,
His mother was coming for him to take
him to New York, and he was to sail for
died he showed a part of his wardrobe
to friend who visited him him. He
had more clothes than Berry Wall ever
dreamed of. There were dress suits,
business suits. yachting suits,
hunting suits, cowboy suits, morn
ing and afternoon suits, suits
of by-gone patterns and isuits
of the newest designs, OvercOatS, top
coats, driving coats enough to fit out
company. His collection of neckties
was begun when he was boy at st.
Johnsbury Academy. 1t was work of
art, He was always very well dressed,
but great part of his singular ward
robe he never even tried on, and he
kept it as sort of curiosity. He col
lected clothes as other persons collect
coins. 1t it is said that he left large
part of his wrrdrobe at Billings and the
rest is scattered between there and
Madison avenue and Woodstock.
