A Domestic Tiff

Many a domestic tiff has had its beginning from noth- ing more important than the groceries that go on the table. A man has no right to lose his temper about such matters, but sometimes he does, and the wife gets undeserved blame. She had implicit confidence in her grocer. He was not conscientious. We are. Ask any of our many hundreds of patrons. At the same time get them to tell you about the quality of our groceries and our prices, and your will become a pleased customer.

The residents in the neighborhood of
Mrs. M. H. Dunns on lower Pearl street
were RECALLED yesterday afternoon with a
very entertaining family row between
Mr.. and Mrs. A. D. Feldkirchner which
lasted about three hours and was SEN
sational in the highest degree. 1t is said
that the husband, incIted to violence by
the heat of anger, slapped the woman in
the face and she in turn made an assault
upon him with butcher knife. Two
appeals were made to Justice Ingram's
court for settlement of the difficulty,
but each time compromise was effect
ed on the basis of war indemnity, and
the complaint withdrawn from the court.

Marshall N. Jones, stenographer of the
district court, passed through Boulder
this morning on his way to Denver. In
speaking of the Ritchey trial he said
that Judge Northcutt called the jury in
Monday morning and gave them severe
lecture on their inability to agree. He
then sent them back to the jury room
with an injunction to come to an agree
ment as the case had already cost the
county an immense sum of money and d
new trial would add so considerably to
the sum that it was imperative that they
should come to an agreement. The jury
ihereupon returned to their room and
eventually agreed upon the verdict Of
not guilty. This brought forth a fresh
shower of wrath from the Judge and he
rated them soundly for such verdict in
face of the testimony introduced. He
said that there could be no doubt what.
ever that the accused had committed a
cold blooded premeditated murder, and
that their verdict was entirely inconsist.
ent with facts. Mr. Jones said that it is
understood IN Fort Collins that there
we're no less than five of the juryin favor
of acquittai at any time and at the time
the jury was summoned before the Judge
yesterday morning it stood seven to FIVE
