Sam MCrlulIin Shot.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo, May 9.
Shortly after the Rio Grande
train from the east arrived in this
city today, W. 7. Downing. of
Whitewater, lay in wait for Sam
uel G. McMullin, district prosecut-
ing attorney. who was on the train
and when Mr.. McMullin arrived
at the foot of the stairs leading to
his office in the Canon block, met
him and asked several questions
regarding case now pending in
the courts.
Mr.. McMullin's answer was not
to Downing's liking and he pulled
revolver from his pocket and
fired two shots, one entering Mr..
McMullin's right wrist and passing
entirely through the tleshy part Of
the forearm. Luckily no bouse
We're broken.
Downing after doing the shoot
ing ran up the stairway, following
Mr.. McMullin through the hall
way and down the front steps to
the Board of Trade saloon where
he was arrcsted. d.-Denver Times.

Hot in the Collar.

The Mesa county fruit crop is
short and the Sentinel at Grand
Junction takes exceptions to a
report of that kind and makes the
following remarks:
IF Delta county will answer for
her own fruit crop she will have
quite enough to do. A dispatch
sent from there to the press Of
Denver states that, fruit prospects
were never better in Delta county
than they are this year. 1t also
says that peaches will be full
crop around Delta" Further
along in the dispatch the cores
pondent says that, 'advices from
Mesa county say that there will be
no peaches below Palisade." Now
if Delta county will contine her
self to telling the public how much
fruit she will have, there will be
no kick coming from Mesa county j.
But we believe that the people of
Mesa county can answer about
their fruit crop for themselves.
The fact of the matter is that we
will have more peaches in Mesa
county this year than Delta ever
produced in any two years of its
history. We will not only have a
full crop at PaIisade, but good
crop at nearly all points in the
valley. There are more peaches
wasted in Mesa county than Delta
produces and the people of that
county will do great favor TO the
people of Mesa county if they will
just attend to heralding the amount
of their own crop and permit Meas
county to tell of its own affairs"
L: is stated that Delta county.
furnished peaches for the "peach
day" festivities several years
since. at Grand Junction. Delta
can challenge the world when it
eoA.es to either peaches or apples
and has never had peaches shipped
in for home consumption. Mesa
county is all right for "punkins,' y
and alfalfa butt when it comes to
fruit we are strictly .it."

Will Appeal Case.

1t is said that &. NJ. Hammond
and J. J. Tobin are preparing to
appeal a decision recently rendered
by the local land office at Mont
rose, in favor of Will Terrence.
who filed on a timber and stone
claim near where the proposed
Gunnison tunnel will tap the
river. Terrence filed on the land
more than year ago. vixen it was
subject to entry and it is hard to
see how and on what grounds the
government can prevent him from
holding it He is connected with
the local electric light company
and the land on which he has filed
his claim contains valuable power

Play Ball.

At last there seems to be some
little interest being taken in base
ball and it is quite likely that a
team will be organized. Delta
now has some of the best material
for good local team and the boys
should get into the game at once
and practice up. There are Several
here that would make good
manager and with the proper
management and practice we should
be able to give most any team on
the western slope a run for their
money.

Sets a "Hot Foot"

George Stephan as county at
torney has persuaded Jack Nc
Carthy to give all his property to
his divorced wife and to his child
rem and to sign REIMBURSEMENT
of the custody of his children.
One-half of the ranch goes to his
wife and one half to the children
The ditch stock was likewise as
signed and bill of sale executed
for the teams. farming implements
and other personal property, after
which the deputy district attorney
dismissed the case before the
justice of the peace.
Thus McCarth.'s acts of cruelty
to his family have been punished
by a horsewhipping. coat of tar
and feathers. week in Jail, threats
of hanging. the loss of the custody
of his children. the surrender of
all his property to his wife and
children and his banishment from
the county under penalty of prose
cution for his crime should he re-
turn. as the case which has been
dismissed was dismissed without
prejudice SO that it can be re-opened
at any time should he return.
When Mccarthy was given his
liberty at Montrose it is understood
that he made tracks in the oppo-
site direction and it is not likely
that he will ever be heard from
again.
This is the best thing that could
be done with a case of this kind.
1t would have been almost impos-
sible to impose any great punish
ment on Mccarthy under charge
of this kind and beside his family
will receive some benefit from his
property. If it had been fought
in the courts the property would
have been mostly taken up for
lawyers fees to defend him. Quite
a demonstration was made at the
Jail in Montrose Monday night
where Mccarthy was incarcerated.
This, with the demonstration made
here by indignant citizens is likely
to prove beneficial in keeping him
away from this section, and too,
he has learned lesson that may
serve him well through the rest of
his life.

Damage to Colorodo Fruit

AS might have been expected,
the severe storms of last week ac-
companied by the sudden drop in
temperature, have beeu hard upon
the fruit crop in nearly all sections
of the state east of the main range.
observes the Colorado Springs
Gazette. In Larimer and Weld
counties and in the Arkansas valley
thousands of dollars worth of dam
age has been done. The bursting
buds were nipped by the frost and
in some instances total failure
will result. The only fortunate
circumstance in connection with
this destruction is that accompan-
ing rain and snow was SO greatly
needed that it will compensate in
mesure by giving much needed
moisture to grains and vegetables :.
Colorado weather during April
and May is decidedly uncertain.
1t may seem for time as though
we We're in midsummer and yet
within forty eight hours blizzard
will come from the snow-caped
peaks and endanger all the early
blooms. A great many imported
shrubs and trees never seem to
learn the lesson, but the cotton
wood which has been in the coun-
try for many generations, never
puts forth its leaves until the
middle of May.

Injunction Dissolved.

1t is authoratively stated that
the State Line Oil company,
operating the oil well here up to a
short time ago has paid off the EN-
ployes, who served an injunction
on the machinery for back wages.
This diSsolves the injunction and
it may be possible that operations
will be resumed. 1t is to be hoped
that work enough will be done to
thoroughly prospect the section in
which the oil well is to be sunk
as all indications are good.

LAST COMMAND WILL BE
INSPECTED TONIGHT.

With the inspection of the three
companies of the First Regiment. who
have not yet been placed beneath the
scrutinizing gaze of Maj. Francis H.
French. the government inspection of
the Savannah military will terminate
tonight. All in all, the inspection has
been most satisfactory one, and it is
thought that Maj. Frenchs report will
reflect credit upon the officers in the
city.
The three companies to be inspected
are the Oglethorpe Light Infantry. un-
der the command of Lieut.. Branch
LaFar, the German Volunteers, under
command of Capt. Konemann, and the
savannah Cadets, under Command of
Capt. West These are three of the
strongest military organizations in the
state, and It is expected that they will
render creditable account of them
selves.
The field and staff and commissioned
officers of the First Regiment and the
other three local commands of the First
Infantry, the Irish Jasper Greens, the
Republican Blues and the Emmet
Rifles, were inspected last night. The
companies all had a full quota of men.

FOR SIGHTSEEING.
They Made the Most of 1t After the
Rainy Spell.

R0lht SpeAl'
Savannah lost several thousand dol
lars by the continuous rain that man
aged among other things to break all
weather records.
This statement was heard on all
sides yesterday when, for the first
time since the Baptists have been in
the city, the sun, came out and the
visitors made their appearance in
large numbers on the streets. The
merchants profted 10 some extent, but
it only Went TO show them what they
lost during the rain.
The cab owners. livery stable men
ana trolley cars did a holiday business
and the rush to the resorts made it
seem to home folks like Sunday. In
the neighborhood of a thousand dele
gates went to Tybee and during the
afternoon hundreds watched the surf
The Hotel Tybee was open for business
and those who went to the beach en-
joyed themselves watching the break
ers chase each other and finally dash
themselves into spray.
Large crowds went to the Casino,
Isle of Hope and BOnaventure, and all
of the suburban lines were literally
patronized. The crowd at the Casino
was a large one. Bonaventure, too,
was an attractive spot for the visitors
and hundreds went to the beautiful
old cemetery. The Savannah Electric
Company had its hands full handling
the crowds, for the rea son that il could
not be told just where the visitors
would go.
The people were we'll looked after,
however. The belt lines handled many
and the street railway company had
no reason TO complain of the patron

superintendent of Transportation
Oakley are figuring on many of those
who did not leave the city last night
going to the Casino, and to Bonaven-
ture to-day, and there will be cars
enough in service to handle the visi-
tors.
Although those who were in the city
yesterday enjoyed themselves and went
sightseeing, many got away without
being able to see Savannah in sun
light. Those who left Sunday night
managed to get glimpse of the moon
and those who pulled out yesterday
morning caught a few flashes of the
sun, but neither crowd saw the city
to any advantage. There are still a
great many of the visitors left and
they will seek pleasure to-day. Trips

Best Spring Remedy Ever Formulated
PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND
Miss E. NJ. Swan Completely Cured of Terrible Blood
Troubles That Doctors Gold Not Relieve.

In the month of May it is an absolute
necessity that the body should be fur
nished with a richer and purer supply
of blood for the establishment of a
health that can successfully cope with
the enervating effects of hot summer
weather. Poor blood in May produces
listless, ambitionless, sleepless and
sallOw-faced men and women, who
quickly become victims of some or
ganiC disease that ends life.
Intelligent people recognize the ne
cessity of cleansing and certifying the
system in May by using Paine's Celery
Compound which speedily removes all
poisons from the system and gives to
the thin, watery blood a larger proper
ton of red corpuscles, and arouses all
the organs of the body to healthy ac-
ton. Paine's Celery Compound does a
work for victims OF impure blood
that commands the attention of the
