All this begins to look Is though
the cass might eventually he brought
to trial, and one OF the most litigated
estates - we'll - most complicated
law suits in the history Of Colorado
be cleared from the court dockets.
fragments OF the case, % to speak,
haze been tried twice In the Weld
county court, once In the district
court here, tetore Judge johnson Of
Arapahoe county and before Judge
Bailey Of Canon City and Others.
The case finally reached the court Of
appeals, which recently decided that
the district court had Jurisdiction in
the csse, and so 1t may come to trial.

CALL A MINISTER
Baptist Church Secures Rev.
sHenfy~ Clark.

The Baptist church of Greeley one
week ago last Sunday extended a
unanimous call to the Rev. Henry
Clark. for the past two years pastor
of the Baptist church in Salida.
Owing to the poor health of his wife
Mr.. Clark was compelled to uring her
to a lower altitude than Salida,
They came to Denver about three
weeks ago.
The new minister is spoken OF as
possessing eloquency of speech to an
unusual degree, and is lecturer of
national note. Prior to coming to
Colorado he was pastor OF church
in Iowa. His work in Salda was
successful to a high degree, and once
each month his lectures in the opera
house there would fill the place to
overtlowing. He will begin his pas
to1ate here next Sunday.
The church here has been without
a regular pastor since the Rev. c. M.
Rupe resigned the position last sum

Oil Stove Explosion.

A remarkable oil stove explosion
occurred Saturday night in Mack's
grocery some time after the store
was closed at II O'Clock in the even
icR. The stove had been placed In
the back room Of the store and
lighted to keep things from freezing.
Just what occurred can only be sur
missed. but Monday morning the stove
was found all blown to pieces and a
large circular place on the floor where
it had stood was charred and scorched.
The stove was standing right at the
top of the incline leading into the
basement. A stream Of oil, appar-
emily on fire, judging from the
scorched appearance of the wood,
had flowed down this incline. Near
the stove was large tank Of oil and
the floor around this is thoroughly
soaked in oil. How it happened that
the whole place did not instantly
burst into flames and the big tank
catch fire is mystery. 1t is prob
able, however, that the oil stove
sprung a leak and that this burning
stream was flowing down cellar, and
when the explosion occurred the fire
was blown out for want OF draft, as
the room is very tight.

TO CHANGE JUDGE
Attorneys in Currier Case Make
Request.

On petition for change Of venue
or change Of trial judge for the
Currier case, arguments were made
before Judge Garrigues In the district
court last Saturday afternoon by At
torneys Judge j. B. Bissell and Judge
R. I. McNeal of Denver, counsel for
plaintiffs. The court allowed thirty
days in which to plead by all defend
ants in the case. This means that
the case may come up for trial at the
next term of the district court, but
it is hardly expected. Judge Garri-
CUES, before he was appointed to the
district bench, was attorney for three
OF defendants, the trustees in the
Currier estate, 1T is claimed, hence
was not thought by attorneys for
plaintiffs to be qualified to act as
Judge in the case. Judge Garrigues
stated that when the case was called
next term OF court he would decline
to act

Arrested Here.

Arthur A. Bradley, former book
keeper for the National Cash Register
company at Denver, was arrested at
the Greeley sugar factory, where he
was working in the pulp department.,
last Wednesday afternoon by Detec-
tive j. c. McNeill Of Denver and
Marshal Camp. Mr.. Bradley, who
was working under the name OF Frank
S. Wilson, IS charged with embezzling
81, 900 of the Cash Reg company 8
funds. The Denver officers located
Bradley by keeping watch OF his wife,
and when she called at one OF the
express offices and received package
of money from Frank S. Wilson they
came here and found their man.
After reaching Denver Bradley
confessed to the embezzlement and
said that gambling was the cause OF
his downfall.

THEY MUST Be QUIET
Newsboys Will No Longer Shout
on Streets.

Hereafter nuisance that has an
noyed patrons of the postotiice when
they come for their Sunday mail will
be removed, or rather it has already
been removed. Last Sunday Marshal
Camp edectually put a stop to the
racket and insults of about score OF
newsboys who we're in the habit of
gathering around the postotfice doors
Sunday morning to make din In
comparison with which a band OF
Apache Indians on the Warpath would
seem tame. Last Sunday things
were as quiet around the postotfice
doors as a Sunday school, or the boys
had been removed to distance and
there was no shouting.
1t was not so much the little
merchants who made themselves a
nuisance as a lot of bigger boys who
took occasion to gather around each
real newsboy for the purpose of
shouting When man or woman,
1t mattered little which, was seen
coming toward the postotlice, about
a dozen boys would gather around the
person and shout to the tops of their
voices and IL there was no incliuation
to buy, insults were not infrequent.
Not alone did it annoy the person
going to the office for mail, but 1T
was almost impossible for the clerks
in the office to hear the person ask
ing for mail.
Afterward the boys admitted that
they had sold more papers bv keep
ing still and simply attending to
business than when they had half
dozen shouters assisting them.

GREAT POTATO LAND
Germany Leads the Entire World
in Production.

The annual crop Of potatoes in Ger
many is colossal, and far exceeds
that Of any other county in the
world, states the New York World.
Last wear, for example, the area
unuer. potatoes was s,9O7. .465 acres,
while our crop occupied 2,965, 5s7
acres. The German acreage was
thus more than three times as great
as that OF the United States.
The yield in Germany was !, 593, :
62l ,O76 bushels, while our production
was 2S4, ,632, 1877 bushels. Germany
raised more than five times the guam
tity OF potatoes that we produced. A
very large part Of the great northern
plain OF Germany Is covered with
potato fields.
Last year Germany raised 2s.27
bushels of potatoes for every man,
woman and child In the empire. The
per capita production in our country
was BIB bushels,
These figures are approximately
correct, though not exactly accurate,
because they are based upon the pop
ulatiun OF both countries at the time
OF taking the last census; but they
show the enormous difference be-
tween the pc, capita production in
the two countries.
The Germans export comparatively
few potatoes and they canrot begin
to eat what they produce. They
have ways. however, Of disposing OF
their potatoes that have not yet been
adopted to any large extent in other
countries.
Almost seven-eig Of the alcohol
produced in Germany is obtained from
potatoes. Potato distilleries are
found on many of the large farms,
and Germany has stimulated the in
dustry by rem )ving the internal rev.
enue tax on alcohol Of inferior grades,
which may be used for fuel, but not
for human consumption.
The Germans are now utilizing far
more alcohol for illumination and for
driving automobiles and some other
forms of machinery than any other
patton. They have no great petrol
cum fields, and they are trying to
reduce the imports of kerosene by
substituting alcohol.
The inventors and scientific men
have been giving great attention to
this problem for several years, and
many new and successful lamps and
engines have been introduced for the
consumption OF alcohol as fuel. Last
year Germany produced 92,s65, $40
gallons of alcohol, and the production
is increasing every year.
Many factories also use potatoes in
the manufacture Of starch, glucose
and other products. Still, by far the
greater part Of the potatoes raised in
Germany are consumed as food,
about half by the people and the
remainder by domestic animals.

FREE AGAIN
BoDO Won TROTHA GRANTED
DIVORCE SATURDAY.
Ending of Romantic Two Years
of Welded Life.-Desertion
Made Grounds for
Separation.

Bodo Won rrotha Is free again.
The jury in the district court that
has been listening to the evidence In
the divorce proceedings instituted by
Won TIotha against his beautiful
wife, Julia Kellerman Won Trotha.
Saturday morning gave verdict In
favor of plaintiff, thus finding the
wife guilty Of desertion. At the
same time ended what was perhaps
the strangest divorce case that was
ever tried in the Weld county courts,
not alone on account of the promi-
nence OF the people concerned, but
the romance and air of mystery that
las surrour ded the entiIe case from
the time OF the secret marriage of
the principals in Cheyenne December
10, 1901, to the ending OF the case.
The couple has never lived together
as man and wife, and while in the
earlier days of their marriage the
husband repeatedly urged the wife
to come to his home on his splendid
ranch vest of Greeley she steadfastly
declined, until the husband grew
tired of waiting and instituted
divorce proceedings OIL the grounds
of desertion. 1hen after dodglng
the officers with the divorce summons
for nearly three months. Mrs Won
Trotha came to Greeley from Denver
to see her husband and apparently to
try to patch up reconciliation.
This was July II Of this year. After
visiting the Won Trotha ranch, where
her husband refused to see her, she
was refreshing herself at down town
soda fountain when a member of the
sheriff's force here served the SUM-
mons on her that she had so success
fully lodged up to that time.
The testimony in court brought
out but little that might have been
/, construed as a good reason for Mrs.
Won Trotha to refuse to live with her
husband after their marriage. Ac-
cording to the statement OF both
there was an agreement that they
part at the altar and the wedding be
kept secret for thirty days. Mrs.
Won Trotha also testified that there
was an agreement that she should
remain with her mother for a year
after the marriage and that this
was the reason why she refused to
come to her husband until this year
was up Then there were stories of
iealousies on both sides. A number
OF the love letters that had passed
between the two, roth before mar
riage and after, were read in court,
but even these brought out but little
information in regard to the real
cause of trouble.
The jury thought Bodo Won 1rotha
had heen sufficiently sinned against
to be granted what he asked for,
absolute divorce, and after listening
to testimony and arguments OF coun-
sci three days brought in sealed
verdict Saturday morning. The jury
was compl1mented by Judge Gar
rigues upon their careful deliberation
and weighing of the testimony.
The case may be appealed to the
supreme court.

THE ANTI
MERGER CASE
The Hearing Of Arguments
in the Legal Attack Upon
the Northern Securities
Company.
JAMES BECK OPENS FRAY
The Assistant Attorney General
Shows the Far Reaching Eff
feet That Sustaining the Mer
ger Would Have. !,

st. Louis, Mo-, March 1S-The hear
ing of the arguments in the anti-mer-
ger case of the United States govern
ment against the Northern Securities
Company of New Jersey began at 10
o'clock this morning in the United
States court of appeals before Judges
Sanborn, Caldwell Thayer, and Van
Devanter. Legal counsel for both sides
arrived last night. Judge Caldwell an
nounced at the opening of court that
the attorneys would not be limited as
to time in the presentation Of their
arguments. James M. Beck, assistant
attorney general, opened for the gov
ernment. Beck showed the Importance
of the case in his argument showing
that if the merger should stand it
would nullify the interstate commerce
act of 1887 and that of 1890. The Sher-
man antitrust law clearly prohibits
such combination.
