Deputy District Attorney Sabin Of
La Junta was in town yesterday and
conducted an examination before Justice
Harris which developed the following
affair: Last Saturday several games Oi
poker were played in the Mint saloon.
The players were two Of our local gam-
bIers and stranger. The latter proved
and won some S20 from our home sports.
He was accused Of cheating and given a
severe pounding in the saloon. Cheat
ing is II legitimate, recognized feature OF
poker. 1t is variation which is as
honest us the game with which it is in.
separately connected. Our two local
sports followed the stranger into the
street, and when on the Santa Fe track
near the old Exchange building he was
threatened by display OF rocks and the
use Of violent language and relieved of
roll of money, claiming it had been
won by cheating. He asked for the re-
turn OF enough to get his supper, but the
request was refused. Marshal Maloney
| iiIed complaint alleging robbery from
the person." The man from when the
| money was taken was not present ut the
...;al; having doubtless been induced to
skip for monicc:a. consideration. Justice
Harris required them to give bond, $500
each. for their appearance at district
court on Charge OF assault. We under
stand from Squire Harris thns under his
decision the whole transaction may co.,
before tho district court. Public senti.
ment will warrant the town council in
proceeding with the utmost vigor against
conditions which bring upon Rocky Ford
such disgraceful Affairs,
The newly organized cttcle OF Wood

B. U. Dye was awakened by n fire on his
premises. He found his woodhonse and
other outbildings burning. Hose Mt.
tached to the nrtesian pipes enabled him
and two neighbors to confine the flames
nted that high wind would surely have
caused several Thousand dollars loss.
The strawberry bed, from which the first
picking had been made, was destroyed.
The total loss was about $500. The fire
is supposed to have resulted from the ex-
plosion Of lamp which had been left
burning in the strawberry bed to catch
leaf rollers.

Dr. Horns Baccalaureate Sermon.

Commencement week OF the Rocky
Ford public schools opened most ans
piciously Sunday morning. The day
was fine and Rockers Opera house was
crowded to hear Dr. J. G. Horns bacca-
laureate sermon. It was union meet
ing, there being no services Mt either
Presbyterian, Baptist or NJ. f. churches
DR.. Horn spoke OF the fact that SER
mon being deemed appropriate on such
an occasion indicated the value OF an ed
ucation. The thought OF expectancy wns
presented-what we should be. There
was value in good birth-fathers and
mothers OF whorh we may be prond.
Consciousness OF ability. operating un-
der self esteem, is great motive power.
Ambition is seeking to excel or to stand
among the best. Determination may be
said to be mettle in action and it gets
the highest value out OF the talent pos
sessed. The traits mentioned were the
elements OF progressive character. Many
pertinent illustrations, cnlled from his
tory. were given-inspiration to the class
OF 10 to stIive to emulate successful mon
and women A tribute was paid to
woman and the fact mentioned that 1t
wis diilicult to limit her sphere. The
infinite possibilities OF the progress OF
the human soul were eloquently por.
trayed. We were joint heirs with Divin-
ity nnd the development Of the future
was beyond our present conception. We
may yet hear the song Of tho. stars, the
melody OF the spheres, the music OF
heaven. The class was urged, to go on
ward and upward, using all their pow
ers to attain the wonderful possibilities
OF their being.
The sermon was listened to with deep
interest and ut the close Of the meeting
many Of tho congregation sought the
speaker to express hearty appreciation oi
an able discourse.
The program given by the class Oi %
ut the Liberty High School building yes.
terday afternoon attracted large anai.
ence OF the patrons and friends Of the
schools. Orations were delivered by the
six graduates Pearl E. Deweeee, and
Misses Anna Brown. Lillian Barnes
Edith Robords, Rena jackson and Clida
Smith. The exercises were highly cred.
liable to all. A fuller report and briel
synopsis OF each Grafton is reserved fol
next week.

much pleasure 10 Commencement eaer

ONLY FIVE PER CENT.

Edward l.. Linsley, trustee on tha in
solvent estate of George S. Vlbbert, the
former card manufacturer in Clinton
vile, North Haven, yesterday fled in
the probate court his account as trus-
tee, and ii shows that the trustee has
only enough money on hand to pay five
per cent,
The report was submitted after APP
plication had been made to the court by
the Hampshire Paper company of Mas
sachusetts for an order to compel the
trustee to put in a report, and hear
ing on the application and also on the
report will be held at 10 o'clock next
Monday morning.
The report shows that the estate was
inventoried a. s25, 493 IS and to this the
trustee added other assets which he had
discovered, making the total amount of
assets, nominal value, as SCI, 046,92. But
there was a great shrinkage and after
all the shrnkage and the bills for set
Ting the estate had been deducted the
actual cash on hand was found to be
l.905.75 to pay 1000 of creditors
claims The trustee puts in a bill Of
$400 for his own services. He paid the
appraisers 800 and the commissioners
$50.
1t is quite likely that the Hampshire
Paper company will take objections at
the hearing next Monday
