Ordway. A few days since the tents OF
the party were moved to the neighbor-
hood of Rocky Ford. The object of the

"a fortune tcller" is proposing TO
find the diamonds which Mrs. J. X Dye
had stolen during Fair week. If the
ability of "fortune tellers" to recover
stolen property was an established facul-
ty instead of an '.iridescent DREAM" the
fortunes Of the wierd sisterhood would
be secured by very limited exercise Of
their mystic talents.

A DENIAL.
Mr.. Washburn Denies That He Is to
Blame for the Delay on the
Bridge Repairs.

Mr.. Washburn Denies That He Is to
Blame for the Delay on the
Bridge Repairs.
I hear a great deal of complaint in re-
gard to the delay in the construction of
OF the Rocky Ford bridge. I know it
has been unfortunate that 80 many
things have caused delay. In the first
place, the Board had the plans and spec
ifcations drawn as soon as the water fell
SO as to be able to estimate the amount of
damage done and take the measurement.
They Immediately advertised for bids.
The Board met to open said bids and
then found that there were some omis-
sions in the plans. The law in regard to
bids and contracts is, that where there
that if all bidders agree, that said plans
and specifications shall be corrected, that
it shall be legal to let contract.
The board requested the bidders at
that meeting to agree to a change, but
they would not consent, and the result
was that we had to re-advertise. Now l
understand that many are blaming me
for whatevever delay there has been,
when in fact no member of the Board is
to be blamed in the matter. After the
contract was let the lumber came in the
ordinary time that it takes to get Texas
lumber, but the piling was for some
cause delayed. The bridge company
claims both lumber and piling was or
dered at the same time. 1 regret the de-
lay as much as any one because it dis
comodes me as much as any of the people
under the Holbrook canal.

AMONG THE FARMERS.

20. G.. Ament's 80 acres of oats near
Fowler threshed 40 bushels per acre.
M. Badgers alfalfa turned out five
bushels per acre.
-I.W Davenport has left with us
another evidence of the fertility of Rocky
Ford soil, being carrot weighing six
pounds.
George Todd, who has had uniform
success in growing potatoes, will next
spring plant u acres.
&C. @. Washburn has placed on the
bron and Burbank Seeding potatoes
which he this year raised under the Hol-
brook ditch. From IL hills Mr.. Wash
burn dug 11s bushels Of these potatoes.
DIR. Allen, of Denver, was in Rocky
with our Canning Co. to take an interest
in his patents for quitting up dessicated
pumpkin. Failing to make the deal he
contracted for growing a lot of the raw
material near Rocky Ford, and three car
loads of hubbard squashes and pumpkins
are this week being shipped to DR. Aliens
factory in Denver.
Mrs. Mary P. Prater has just had
threshed on her farm near Fowler crop
of alfalfa seed which made remarkable
yield. From Is measured acres the re-
turns were 200 bushels, little over 10
bushels per acre. The fact that the
field was pastured in the spring is ad-
ditional evidence that such course is
the best to secure large crop Of seed.
The seed came from the machine in such
condition that the current price, 5 cents
per pound. has been offered for it with
out further cleaning. So full of seed was
the hay that the machine threshed out
rs bushels the first half day.

Mr.. Fred. Miller, of Irving. ILL.,, writes
that he he had a severe Kidney trouble
for many years, with severe pains in his
back and also that his bladder was af-
fected. He tried many SO called Kidney

About year ago he began the use Of
Electric Bitters and found relief at once.

cure all Kidney and Liver troubles and
often gives almost instant relief. One

Il. D. Hale and the editor of the En-
TERpRIsE spent an enjoyable evening at
La Junta last week. The occasion was
the organization of Degree of Honor,
auxiliary to the lodge of A. o. U. W.
Grand Recorder Boyd, of Denver, came
down and instituted the Degree. some
fifty of the workmen and their lady rela-
tives becoming members. The work of
organization was preceded by choice re-
freshments which were partaken of with
relish.
Last week bushels of alfalfa seed
WIS stolen from Null & Lowe. living
on G. N. Ordways farm, Ordway.
Three young men, E. E. Watson, Bert
and Elmer Hostler, have been arrested
for the crime; An examination was be-
but postponed until Tuesday last, the
accused being held in the La Junta
Jail in the meantime. The examination
was completed before Squire Clark
Tuesday. All plead guilty and are
now in jail awaiting the District court.
w. Z. Anderson, president of the
Comet Mineral Company, informs us that
recent tests have proved the value OF the
Comet machinery in handling all kinds
of placer earth. 1t has been tested on
all kinds of placer ground, and in COM
petition, with other machines, proved to
be superior to any now in the market.
Since the machine has been at work at
Elizabeth an improvement has been
made to enable it to handle the peculiar
grounds found there and it is now so
perfected that Mr.. Anderson does not
hesitate to tackle any sort OF placer
ground.
Our item last week in regard to the
robbery OF A. Graham's house near Catlin
was in error in stating that the alleged
thief, w. I. 5. Kemp, gave bond. He
was unable to do so and was lodged in
Jail at La Junta. 1t seems that the re-
cent robbery was not the first that Kemp
was guilty Of. Graham's house was en-
tered two months since and some $40
worth of china. glassware, etc, taken, n
portion of which was fonud in Kemp's
possession. air. Grahains ungnarded
home was good mine for dishonest
work.
