AN EXCITING TIME.

Monday morning as M. E.

X T. F. Atwood's office. One horse had recovered his footing and help arrived at this juncture and the other horse was quickly assisted to rise and every fortunate result of but little damage to horses or hack.

Cluster Of Grapes.

Immediately after the fruit exhibi-
ton in this city, Mayor Sampliner
took the trouble to send magnificent
bunch of grapes to the Pueblo Chief
tain at Pueblo.
A photograph of the grapes was
taken and half tone made of the
photograph and in last TUESDAYS is
sue of that paper column is devoted
to the picture and setting forth the
character of the grapes. -,a
The following is the article as 1T
was published:
And they came unto the brook of
Els hcol. and cut down from thence a
branch with one cluster of grapes, and
they bare it between two upon a
staff - sfri2n .r) -rs--rf.1~
''The place was called the brook
Eshcol. because of the cluster. of
grapes which the children of Isreal
cut down from thence.
The valley of Eshcol from which
spies brought the the bunch of grapes
that required two men to carry, per
haps has but one duplicate in the
world and that is the valley of the
Grand river in Colorado The above
is half size picture of a bunch of
grapes raised in the latter valley by
Phillip Scheve of Palisade. Colorado.
The cluster was ON exhibition at the
Grand Junction Peach carnival and
is said to have been the largest bunch
OF grapes ever exhibited in the state.
After having been on exhibition
three days it was expressed by Mayor
Sampliner, to the Chieftain's Den-er
officer where it was photographed,
weighed and measured 1t weighed
exactly four pounds and two ounces
1t was twelve iuches long, twenty
one inches in circumference and TWEEN.

An idea of the size of the individu-
al grapes of the cluster can be ga ined
from the statement that a one foot
rule would not extend across the diam
eters of eleven when placed side by
side. Nh d
The Individual grape just in front
and little to the right of the stem

grapes but fruits of all kinds grow

G. W. Hall is in the city TODAY
with some world record fruit. He
brought today from his ranch to this
city. some Alberta peaches that meas
ured 11s4 inches in circumference.
The peaches certainly are what Mr..
Hall claims for them. They are fine
looking, without blemish and, though
not tasting one we believe would
grace a dish ON the Kings table. Mr..
Hall says he stands pat on the declar-
alton that there are no peaches in the
county that will overstep this meas
urement this year. The measurement
was not only for one peach. but for
many which Mr.. Hall brought to this
city for sale. 1t is this desire to ex-
Gel in fruit culture that makes this
section of Colorado the greatest fruit
belt west of the Mississippi. If it
was an exhibition at Ogden for the
size and beauty of a single peach, we
believe that Mr.. Hall would walk
away with that loving cup worth $500
that Senator Clark has offered for the
finest general display. The farms

 Tiffany.

New York. March 7.-Alfred Britton. known as "Toothpicks, who, the police say, has served several terms in prison and who is under arrest for purloining silver plate from Tiffany's store on Union Square. told Inspector Brooks of the de- tective bureau that he had been stealing from the place for a couple of years, and that in that time he had taken about 8, 0O0 worth of articles from the firm.
 One of the salesmen in Tiffanys store was asked by a well dressed man on Wednesday to show him some silverware, and the salesman put number of valu- able pieces on the show case. The man saw nothing that seemed to please him and left. In a few minutes the salesman reported to the management that four silver plates worth s200 were missing. The description furnished the police resulted in the arrest of Britton, who admitted he had taken the plates and that he had sold them to a jeweler named Elberg for S40. It is charged that the four plates were found in Elbergs store and the latter also was arrested.
