that Massey had told lfim upon GER
tain time that LaFair had held HIM
up twice with u gun. Witness said
he did not know whether Massey's
statement was true or not.
On the cross examination he was
mixed considerably by the questions
of Mr.. Carnahan. He admitted that
he had heard that Massey had at
tempted to meet LaFair on friendly
grounds. at a time about two years
previous.
The next witness was R. T. Smith
Smith is cowboy. His testimony
and the testimony of those who fol-
lowed him up until the noon hour
were about the same. as what the
others had testified to. that Massey
had made threats that he was disa-
greeable to his hired helm and to his
neighbors, ETC. The witnesses who
thus testified were George Foy. a
brother of the other witness by that
name. Allie Silzell. Bert Virden,
Isaac Caldwell. Mrs. Woodring and
Mr.. Woodring. IB, taf
Mrs. Woodring testimony was espec-
tally pointed and damaging to the
case of the state. She swore that
once when Mr.. Massey. was about to
leave for Colorado Springs and had
stopped at their home for the night
that, Massey came into the kitchen
and taking off his revolver and re-
moving the shells from same observed
THAT he was laying for Bill La Fair
and that if he had met him along the
road he would have shot him down
like he would dog in his tracks if
he had met him and would go off and
let his body lay. He knew that LaFair
was a better shot than himself and he
would not have waited, to see whether
he was armed or not. ''.r ~

William LaFair on -
The Stand Today

There was quite surprise sprung
by the defense this morning when
they placed upon the stand William
LaFair charged with the crime of
murder in killing E 7. Massey.
The witness was called inihis own
behalf after recess taken this morn
ing and he was on the stand at the
adjournment of court at the noon
hour. a 4f.sf. fr b ai5
Immediately on the reoonvening of
court this afternoon he again took the
stand. The court room was crowded
and everyone craned their necks
to get good look at the man who
took another's life.
1t must be said that LaFair made a
good witness in his own behalf. He
told in. very plain manner the his
tory of the shooting. How he stood
and all the minor details of the time
leading up to the killing. The most
dramatic recital was when he said
that he did not pull his gun. until he
| had seen Massey attempt to draw his
gun He illustrated how Massey made
the attepmt to draw his gun.
| He told why he had started toward
| the bars. He said it was in the hope
that Massey would speak to him and
that he would give him an, opportuni-
ty to talk the matter over with him,
! but that when he reached for his gun.
he knew that no such peaceable settle
ment of the case could be secured and
that he drew. his gun then in self de-
Tense and to see if he could not shoot
in his own defense more quickly than
Massey could TO kill him.. ,s...l
He told in detail of how he had
been informed, of the threats that had
been made against him, He then
told in what position Massey was
when the duel to the death occurred.
He described how his horse had
frightened and how one of the shots
of Massey came SO near to his eyes
that it almost blinded him.
He finally gave description of the
shot that killed Massey and what he
did afterward. giving to the minutest
detail his reasons for asking the men
who were gathered there to hold back
for an hour and not try to beat him
into Grand Junction. as he wanted to
give himself up.
There was intense interest when
LaFair was giving his recital of the
manner of his killing of Massey. The
court room was crowded and one
could have heard the falling of pin.
A great many ladies were present
scattered throughout the ROOM.

For some years past, heavy
shower OF rain caused the water to ac-
cumulate at the sides of Main street
between Madison and Jefferson, where
there Is much traffic. Running the
1 lsngth cf this street there are drain
pipes on either side and the water is
expected to reach them through grav-
el with which the trench was filed
when the pipes were laid. It has been
thought possible that these pipes had
become clogged, thus preventing the
water from running away, but exam
ination discloses the fact that the
gravel In the trench becomes cement
ed to such an extent that the water
will not pass through. There is now
talk OF connecting stand pipes with
the dIain pipes, SO that hereafter
Main street will not resemble fishing
pond when there Is heavy rain.
