Races at the state Fair

There is every reason to believe
that the races at the State Fair to be
held at Pueblo, September IA to Is,
will be better even than at the June
race meet, and this is very encourage
ing to the management, for the spring
races we're pronounced the best ever
held on the state fair track, and they
were not surpassed at either Colora
do Springs or Denver. OF course it
will be impossible to get some of the
better horses that were in the circuit
this spring as they have gone down
the grand circuit and are now in the
east, but a great number of them are
expected, and there are many fast
animals now in the state and all
classes will be filed at the state fair
meet.

Annual Event for tho 18th District

Annual Event for tho 18th District
Draws LARGE Crowd to Lamar.
Saturday the largest crowd OF the
week was in Lamar to attend the an
nual log rolling of the Woodmen OF
the World. 1t was estimated that
nearly 5000 people visited the fair
grounds during the afternoon to
take part in the celebration. The
special train arriving about ii :3o a.
M, brought several hundred from
Colorado Springs, Canon City, Pu
eblo, LaJunta, Las Animas and other
points. They included number OF
drill teams Of the W. o. W., and
several bands. No. 8 in the after
noon brought another large delega
tion from Trinidad.
The PROCESSION which started about
2 O'Clock from the lodge room, was
nearly mile long, and included
representatives from nearly every
lodge in this section of the state
On arriving at the fair grounds they
soon packed the grand stand and
bleschers to overfowidg.
The program of drills, races and
sports occupied the attention of the
crowd for several hours, and when it
was completed the visitors were in
vited to a large pile of watermelons
and took hold of this part of the pro-
gram as if they we're all anxious to
win the championship.
From this time until the train left
at IL o'clock all enjoyed themselves
as they pleased, either at the grounds
or in town. 1t is seldom that town
the size of Lam ar is called upon to
entertain so large crowd as the one
here on Woodmen day, but Lamar
has proved that she is capable OF
handling a celebration of this kind
in proper style.
The music furnished by the La
mar Citizens Band was special fea
ture not only of Woodmep day, but
of the entire fair week. There were
several fine bands tn attendance Sat
urday, but not one that could equal
our home boys and it made all citi
zens Of the town feel proud of them.
The result of the drills and sports
for the day was as follows:

The trial Of Chauncey Dewey, ". j.

with the murder Of the Berry family. is
set to be heard December 7 before the
Cheyenne county district court at St.

1t is believed improbable that the case
viii come to trial at that time. For sew
eral months, it Is said, the attorneys for
the DeEeys have been canvsssing the
county to ind If it is possible to secure
jury.
Should the attorneys be satisfied that
it is impossible to secure a jury, it is
claimed, they viii insist upon the i'm
mediate trial Of the case. On the other
hand, It is said, if is evident jury can
be secured a pOstponment OF a change
of venue will be asked.
Attorney General Coleman, who assist
ed the county attorney in the prelimin-
airy hearing, will be unable to go to St.
Francis next week because of the feet
that he will be engaged in the Doodle in
vestigstion before the grand jury in
WyandOtte county. The state will be
represented by Harry L. Pestana, special
assistant attorney general.
1t is not believed by Mr. Coleman
however, that there is any chance of the
close coming to trial at this time.
81 think there is but little doubt a
change Of venue will be asked, he said
recently, "and then when this is granted
an application for continuance doubtless

Chauncey Dewey, WiiliaD J. Mcbride
