Frank Becker today swore out complain t
against Frank Burnham the East Colorado
street groceryman, charging him with embez-
zling diamond ring The history OF the case
is very peculiar one
Some
Bile with his wife and was held in $50 bonds to
keep the peace by Justice Merriam. Being un-
able to raise the coin he went to jail, but he
finally obtained loan of the money from
Burnham, giving him as security diamond
ring valued at $75. few weeks later Becker
made a raise and went TO Burnham with $50
and got his ring back. Not exactly liking the
looks OF the stone, Becker took it to jeweler,
who at once pronounced it worthless. He then
went back to Burnham, who denied all
knowledge of having changed the stone and
refused to straighten the matter up, and the
arrest as stated as the result.
The case will come up for hearing in the
recorders court in few days.

future action, If any shall be taken. 1t would
certainly be too bad, after making such good
start as was made last season, to go back to the
old commission method by which the ship
pers got the lions share. The only difficulty
seems to be to get all the growers to come into
the association. which is necessary to its sue
cess.
