The necessity for asking subscriptions is
caused by the failure OF the Legislature

ant to neglect giving an annual show il
Illustrating its advancement.
Il was asked today" said Secretary
Shute, what the fruit industry in Col :
orado amounted to. In 1894 it amount
ed in cash to s2.O65,oOO. and there are
10000 acres now planted in the very fir.
est of trees. Fruit orchards four years
cid have sold from S4OO to $3.50 an acre
and these same orchards have yielded
s4OO per acre in one season. One peach
orchard in the Grand valley containing
fifty acres and only four years old paid
sl25 an acre profit last year. and this
season the owner declares he will realize
fully double that amount.
This illustrates the importance OF the
fruit industry and as we raise the best
fruit in the world. and have the facilities
for producing as much of it as any state
in the Union. think there is no reasos
why we should not advertise the fact and
thousand reasons why we should use

Testing one Of the New Laws.

People outside of the butcher trade
who slaughter beeves or calves. either
for sale or their own consumption. will
do well to take cognizance OF a case tried
in Justice Howze's court last week un-
der law enacted by the Tenth General
Assembly. 1t was the first case tried
under the new statute and is likely to
create revolution in the meat trade.
Fred E. Busby was charged with sell
ing the carcass OF beef to Ed Sargent,
who keeps a meat market, without ex-
hibiting the hide and brand OF the ami
NAL. The complaint was sworn to by
c. F. Hartman. who represents the
Colorado Cattle Growers association.
and it was brought under the provisions
OF law enacted by the last Legislature
to prevent cattle stealing. The act re-
ceived Governor McIntires 8 signature on
March 30, 1895.
1t provides: That from and after the
passage of this act it shall be unlawful
for any person. company or corporation
to sell or offer for. sale, except as
butcher. who has filed his bond as pro
vided by law and has permanent place
of business, the carcass of beef, or
veal. or any portion of such carcass.
without first exeibitins the hide intact,
OF the same and exposing the brand up
on the hide. if any. to the purchasers.
and it shall be the duty Of any such per-
son, company or corporation selling or
offering for sale any such carcass Of beef
or veal to preserve the hide Of the same
for period of 80 days and to exhibit the
same for inspection upon the demand Of
any person
Beef or Veal slaughtered by any one
70. personal consumption Is subject to
the same regulation. The penalty pro-
vided for violation OF this law is q maxi
mum term of imprisonment in the
county Jail for one year, or a fine of $500.
or both. Whoever gives information
against an offender is entitled to half
the fine by way OF reward.
The purpose Of the statute is to pre-
vent .rustlers'' from running cattle off
ranches, slaughtering them, hiding or
destroying the hides and then selling
the carcasses by whole or piecemeal to
city meat dealers.
The Cattle Growers association has
engaged Attorney Ralph Talbot to see
that the law is enforced, so it is under
stood. He has been lcc+sing out for
test case and so has c. F. Hartman. Mr..
Busby is not accused OF stealing the an
imal whose carcass he sold to Sargent,
but the doing 90 without showing Sar.
gent the hide of the animal has given
those representing the cattlemen an op~
portunity to give "rustlers" an object
lesson. Busby is a Denver business
man OF good reputation. When called
for hearing he waived examination. His
lawyer WAS present with him in court.
Justice Howe looked up the new stat
ute and acted on it to the letter. He
held Busby for trial to the criminal di-
vision Of the district court under bonds
Of $500. Bail was promptly furnished
and defendant released. d.-Dcnver Repub-

NEWPORT, Dec. 12.-The investigation
OF the school board into the charges OF
teachers beating children IL the talk OF
the town, and stories are now heard on
all sides OF youngsters being whipped.
Il ne matter will undoubtedly be the
means OF teachers being more careful in
the future. One OF the members OF the
board yesterday said that the whole in
vestigation was a farce, because the
teachers should have been dismissed.
Probably the most disgrsceful spectacle
ever paraded through Newport's streets
was when the police carried three young
girls TO the Providence boat yesterday
morning, on their way TO the State pris-
on. Their language was the vilest OF the
vile, and their manner most disgusting.
They even put their fists up to THE Off

IL was a close end exciting game at
Fall River last evening and though the
Reds aid everything in their power they
were unable TO stem the victorious streak
ofthe Tigers.
The playing OF both teams were marked
with excellent team work and judicious
movements, but it was apparent to all
that Pawtucket outclassed her rival in the
passing. The home rooters rose On masse
and cheered the plucky Reds, and Cotter's
men responded nobly, playing fast and
furiously, but 10 no purpose.
The fret and tn ird periods was closely
contested, but the second, which was the
fatal one for the home team, gave the
Tigers lead that practically won the
game.
