WITH DISASTROUS RESULTS.
Jerome Geraci Celebrates Two Events
and Breaks Plate Glass.

Jerome Geraci, a ten-year-old Italian boy,
who lives near the District building, on In.
diana avenue, was celebrat ting the Fourth
and the marriage of his brother, Ignatius,
last Saturday night, when he became in
tangled in the coils of the law
Ignatius Geraci was married to Miss Jose
pima Buonadonna at st. Patrick's Church
about 8 o'clock Saturday night, and when
the happy couple arrived at the family
home on Indiana avenue young Jerome
was there to note the event with a pyro-
technic display. He lighted skyrocket as
the couple alighted from the carriage, and
it shot across the pavement, then took a
slightly upward course and finally crashed
through plate glass window of the Com.
missioner's offices in the District building.
The crash of glass caused considerable con-
sternation among the watchmen for a mo-
ment.
Officer Kelly Of the sixth precinct placed
Jerome under arrest He was taken tc
police headquarters, where Scipio Buonint,
the best man. put up $15 collateral for the
boy, who was charged with destroying pub
lie property.
The case will probably be heard at the
next sitting of the Juvenile Court.

During the five hours that he
was here he was surrounded by
several hundred policemen and a
number of special officers but an
apparently harmless individual, in
spite of their vigilence, managed
to slip through and handed the
president letter regarding a pan
cea he had discovered. The letter
was given to the police and the man
was arrested. He talked wildly.
Mrs. Roosevelt was much agitated

THOROUGHBRED STOCK

The bringing of some of the best
of Kentucky's thoroughbred brood
mares and stations to this county, is
and riding animals. Western Colo
RADIO has been barren of first class
stock and the influx f this thorough
bred stock from some of the best
studs in Amrica. should almost change
the complexion of the horse industry.
The gentlemen concerned in the enter
prise. as was said by Mr.. Ella. in his
letter published elsewhere. could
doubtless find better sale Tor this thor
oughbred stock in Denver and Colo
RADIO Springs. but they have other con-
siderations in mind. not the least of
which is to breed up the native stock
and also form an association for the
batterment of horses in western Colo
RADIO. Tho bring ing of this stock to
Mesa county at once places this
county in the lead as breeding sec
tion and BUYERS and breeders and Low
ers of fine horse flesh will be attracted
here.
The move is most excellent one
and deserving of commendation. 1t
is to be hoped that when the auction
sales take place in this coumnty, for
the sale of this fancy stock that sutfic-
ent interest will be shown to keep the
larger part of the animals. and espec-
tally the great sires named as having
been purchased. in this county.

ELECTION.

Monday, November Both. the peo-
pie resident in this district. compris-
ed in the proposed High Line Irriga-
tion district. will vote upon the ques-
tion Of an issuance of bonds to build
that irrigating waterway. about which
so much has been said and written.
1t is most unfortunate that those
who were promoting the matter
agreed for minute to permit the
from the proposed district. The mere
fact that so much land. which should
have been included in the district was
withdrawn. lessons the possibility of
the sale of the bonds.
However, we hope that the election
will carry and some way in the future
may be found to include these lands.
Unfortunately the contention of those
who were opposing the calling of the
election by the commissioners. that
the lands of the government could not
be included in the district, was given
more weight than it deserved and the
result is that vast body OF land
which should be included in the dis
trict was elm mated through the
schemiug of those who opposed the
matter. When such contention was
made it should have been fought to
the end that the lands would have
been included II the council for the
board of county commissioners. whose
duty it j. to give impartial informa-
tion and advice upon matters of that
kind. gave biased judgement in accor-
dance with his desires and not in ac-
cordance with the law in the matter,
ne has beon extremely derelicr in his
duty.
1t has bean conolusively prov en-.
since the board of commissioners called
the election. that such districts have
been formed aud government land in
cluded in the district. notwitbstand-
ing the contrary opinion advanced to
Mesa county's board by its attorney.
But the election will determine
that the people of the district want
the canal and the future may find
some means to include the vast body
of land that has been excluded.
Those who were so anxious that the
government be given few more
months to conclude what it might
desire to do In the matter. can dis.
cover no movement looking toward
the construction of the High Line
canal. 1t is the Judgment OF the
writer that such scheme. so far as the
government is concerned, WAS abah-
-doned. the moment it was found not
feasible to water lands IN Utah by the
proposed canal, which was to be the
outgrowth of the government survey
last fall
If because of the harassment which
the movers to build the High Line
canal suffered. are now unable to sell
the bonds with which to build the
canal, owing to changed financial con-
citions. and if the government makes
no further move toward building the
canal. those who opposed the matter
so strenuously. from private interests.
should receive the obloquy they de-
serve from their fellow citizens, who
were anxious to see the matter con-
summated when all things looked so
propitious.
