Peach Day Executive Committee
Has Over $500 on Hand
Good Stewardship-They Have
Presented Same to Horticul-
ture Society as a Nucleus for
Holding County Fair.

The Peach day executive committee
closed up their work a few nights ago.
After having paid all outstanding debts
there was left in the treasury the net
sum of $555.68.
The committee desires it understood
that this money was not what was savel
out of the original subsc riptions, but a
large part of it was from the sale of priv
ileges, fruit that was left over and from
many incidental incomes, The commit
tee spent in endeavoring to provide en-
tertainment for the people ell the money
that was in sight and it WAS not their
desire to run in debt any amount over
what they thought they would have re-
sources TO pay, because it would then
have become an individual Indebtedness,
they could have counted on after the
celebration was over they would have
only been too glad to have incurred
more indebtedness in the matter OF pro-
viding more amusements for the public
However, it is always a good plan to be
on the credit side Of the ledger and this
the Peach day committee has the salts
faction of being.
What to do with the money was the
next question and after considerable de-
liberation OF various measures a happy
idea struck the committee. 1t was de-
cid ID that the money be PLACED in the
hands of the presid Of the Mesa
county horticultural association, as .he
nucleus for the holding next year of a
Mesa county horticultural and agricul-
tural fair in this city. The conclusion
will be applauded by the public as
very wise one, as it has been the concen-
us Of opinion that the next celebration
which is to be held in this city should
be in the nature of county fair.
The Peach day committee is to be
congratulated on it's stewardship and
while there might have been many
things done, which were left undone,
still it is matter OF considerable salts
faction to see that all debts of an affair
are paid and surplus left over.

Boys Badly Treated,

Last night about o'clock two boys
cold, hungry and dirty, arrived in this
city from Fruita and called at resi-
dence on South street near the depot
asking for something to eat. They were
taken in and given their supper and this
is the story they told.
They were Walter Harvey and Oar
Denis.on, aged respectively 13 and u
Yeas, and their home is in Canon City.
Last week a man from Fruita, who was
on trip to Canon City, and whose name
the boys did not know, offered to bring
tn EN- home with him.
"At first we did not want to come"
said one of the little fellows, "but he
told us he would give us job where we
could make lots OF money SO we came
with him; but after we got to Fruita he
told US he had nothing at all for US
to do and told us we'd better skedaddle.
He said he thought we could get work
in Grand Junction, but we want to go
home"
They tried several times to catch a
train out of Fruita, but, failing, they de-
cided to come to this city where they
thought they would stand a better
chance They walked all the way with
nothing to eat, and were pretty tired
when they arrived here.
They were taken in charge by some OF
the railroad boys who arranged with the
conductor for them to be taken through
to their home on the first train east.
One of the boys is the son OF j. l.
Deniston, superintendent Of the South
Canon ditch, and young Harvey's father
is employed in stone quarry near Canon
City.

A GLORIOUS YANKEE VICTORY

New York-Through wild and hoary
seas, in breeze that approached the
dignity of a gale, the gallant sloop Col
umbio today vanquished the British
challenger, Shamrock, by six minutes
and thirty four seconds, thus completing
the series for Americas cup with a mag
nifcent rough weather duel and glori-
GUS Yankee victory.
For the eleventh time the attempt of
the foreigner to wrest from America the
yachting supremacy OF the world has
failed.
The trophy won by the old schooner,
America, 4S years ago, is still ours,
monument to the superiority Of Ameri-
can seamanship and American naval
architecture and a standing challenge to
yachtsmen OF all nations

WAS 1T KATE FEELEY?

New York-The most promising clew
to the murder mystery is almost wiped
out by telegram from Chicago an
nouncng Mrs. Kate Feeley safe in that
city. In the absence Of more tangible
clews the police have grasped at the dis
appearance of Mrs. Feeley as the only
thing left for them to work on.
Last night kilograms signed "Katie,"
were received from Chicago by Mrs.
Sarah Carroll, with whom Mrs. Feeley
lived, and by Mrs. Lucie, from whose
house she disappeared the night before
the first fragment OF tn, murdered wom-
an was found in tho Seventeenth street
gutter.
The kilograms which purport to come
from the Feeley woman, simply state
she is alive and we'll and that she will

grams" said Mrs. Carroll today. "They
were probably sent by her murderers to
