The Mooney-Manning Liti.
cation.

A rather interesting case was to
have come up in Judge Douthitt's
court this morning, but has been
continued until the arrival of
Deputy Attorney Hoffmire. 1t
appears that Arch Mooney some
time since, secured a mortgage of
$500 on the millinery store of Mrs.
]. 8. Manning, at Rocky Ford.
This stock was attached by another
party for a debt of Sl2O, Sheriff
Potter levying the attachment.
Mooney then had Coroner Sears
to replevin the goods. By mutual
consent, the stock was to be sold
over the counter instead of at auc-
tion, all receipts to be applied to
the mortgage. Last week, SO Mr..
Mooney claims, he discovered that
Mrs. Manning had removed part of
the goods. He came to La Junta,
search warrant was issued, and
accompanied by Constable Dunbar,
returned to Rocky Ford and re-
covered the goods. The lady was
arrested and put under bond to
appear this morning, but as statel
above the case goes over until Mr..
Hoffmire returns. The goods in
question are now in the possess
sion of Judge Douthitt-La Junta
Watermelon.
A change of venue was taken to
Judge Moore, but when the time
came for trial on Saturday the
prosecution failed to appear. On
Tuesday another warrant was is
sued for Mrs. Manning's arrest,
the trial to take place before
Squire Clark in Rocky Ford next
Saturday afternoon.

The Santa Fe, always liberal in it's
concessions to the Arkansas Valley Fair
Association and Watermelon Day, will
this year do better than ever. For the

1t is to be hoped, says the Fort Col
Inns Express, that at the next session of
the Legislature bill will be passed pro-
viding for primary elections. As the sea-
son for holding conventions approaches
tho necessity for such law is made up
parent. Whore SO many of our good cit
izens aspire to tho honor Of having their
names placed on the tickets, the only fair
way to do would be to leave the question
to direct vote Of the people who COM
pose the parties and not tho Delegates
who too often attend the convention be-
cause OF their efforts in that direction
and not because the voters of the district
repose any special trust or confidence in
them.

you purchase only concrete
things and do not pay for a

So with Bicycles. We keep

cheaper.
