guarded from the public, has a for
tune so stupendous that even grown
men cannot appreciate the magnitude
of the riches which he viii enjoy. Tt
seems strange to say that his wealth
is so great as to be beyond human
comprehension. Nevertheless such is
the case.
His grandfather. John d Rockefel-

Arrested Again.

This afternoon the ministers of
the various churches, headed by Rev.
j. E. Weir. swore out warrant for
the arrest of the merry go round man.
The charge brought against him was
that he disturbed the peace and the
quietude of the Sabbath day,
The man when first arrested by the
sheriff's office pretended that he had
made arrangements with the Peach
Day executive committee that he
would be permitted to run on the
Sabbath day.
This was not fact, 10 such an ar
rangements having been made.
He was to have his trial at three
thirty this afternoon before Justice
Byers.
The owner of the merry go-round
protested that there were billiard sa-
looms open and that they were not
conducive to the auietude of the Sab
bath day, which contention was per-
fectly proper and the sheriff or the
city should close up both these places
and the sooner it is done the better
it will be for the well boing of the city
on the Sabbath.

Much i'm Little.

Mrs, Luella Leon, the old nurse in
the Confederate ranks during the civil
conflict, who stopped over in this city
a few days ago. the guest of @. W.
Steele, writes a most interesting let
ter to the latter from Bowerman, the
new camp. The letter is most char
acteristic one, as it deals in the short
est sentences one could imagine and
tells so much in so little. The lady
evidently has been disillusioned re-
garding gold camps, as she says some
one has told awful, ''fibs about the
camp. 1t is muddy and cold and un-
oongenial and so little gold that there
is not sufficient to buy good accomoda-
tions. There is no work according to
her story and nothing for anyone to
do. but to dig gopher holes in the
ground with pick and shovel. To keep
the boom going. they have discovered
another bonanza at place called
maple Leaf but Mrs. Leon does
not say that she will stop over there.

We are a stickler for the observance
of the Sabbath day. We may not per-
sonally measure up to high Chris
tian standard ourselves, still we have
never wavered from the early teach
ing, that placed the Sabbath Day, as
day of rest. Yesterday the quiet
of the Sabbath day was broken bv the
steam whistle and the organ OF the
merry 90 round Hundreds of child
rem gathered round this place OF
amusement and spent money and the
Sabbath was broken. 1t should not
be allowed in operation on the Sab
bath day. 1t breaks up the quiet OF
a day which the nation has seen fit to
observe and we call ON the authorities,
whose business it is to maintain the
peace of the community to stop its
whirl and whirr upon future Sab
baths.

Two Stories.

Henry Taylor Harris, n colored man
was arrested yesterday. and brought
before Justice Byers. charged with
having broken into a Pullman coach,
upon which he had been riding and
having stolen twelve dollars.
The theft occurred Sunday. some
time in the morning. Harris made a
sneak when he arrived in this city
and he was pursued by the Pullman
porter five or six miles into the coun
try. The Pullman porter was Joined
in the chase by n half dozen country
boys and Harris was at last captured
and brought to this city and locked IN
Jail.
This morning he told very differ
ent story than the one told by the
Pullman porter. He said he had
argeed to give the porter so much for
his meals, while riding as blind
baggage. between Denver and Og-
d,n.. On the way he was held up
for his meals and flew the contract
when he reached this city. He prov
ed to the satisfaction of Justice Byers
that he did not steal the twelve dol
lars and the Justice fined him five
dollars and costs and remitted the
fine. The costs were paid and Harris
went free.

Base Ball.

The game of ball ON the hospital
grounds yesterday, between Palisades
and Grand Junction, resulted in the
success of the home team. by score
of 23 to 3.
AT the beginning of the game it
looked as if close score might re-
suit, Palisades shutting Grand juno
tion out in the first two innings with
out score. From there ON the home
team played fairly good game with
the result given above.
The home team is playing much
better ball and will do some tall
rustling to show good record during
Peach week.

Secure the Prize.

The following letter from Gilbert
McClurg was received this morning
by Hon. Horace T. DeLong. 1t shows
the Importance to this valley of secur-
ing the best possible exhibit for Mesa
county.
If Utah is to be pitted against Col
orado. it stands this section in hand
to present display of fruit. No Sec
tion of west has such splendid fruit as
has the Grand valley we should cap
ture that prize, if possible. Every
man who has the least bit of local
pride should make himself commit
tee of one to assist in securing the
fruit We believe we have the fruit
in this valley. without appealing to
any other section of the state.
Fruit growers should weigh this
letter well and act accordingly.
Senator Horace DeLong.
Grand Junction, Colo.
Nv dear SIR Will you have
good fruit exhibit from Grand juno
tion at this Congress? The fruit
growers of the famous Paytee Valley
of Idaho are collecting splendid lot
of fruit to compete atthis congress for
the $500 prize loving cup, a photo
graph of which l am sending you in
a separate cover. The Oregon Rail
road and Navigation Co. will have
magnificent exhibit from Oregon.
The State Board of Horticulture. OF
Utah. has ius5 taken up the matter of
arranging for a fine exhibit from
Utah. Can you not bring pressure to
bear upon Governor Peabody so that
he will have the State Board of Hor-
ticulture of Colorado do the same for
your state. L am writing Mr.. A. j.
McCune. of Denver, today. asking
him to see the Governor in regard to
this matter, and we will address the
Governor personally.
Please do what you can to urge
some action on the part of the Board.
through the Governor. The legisla-
ture would. without question, make
an appropriation to defray any expense
the board might go to in this matter.
Governor Wells, of Utah, has re-
quested the Director General of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Com
mission for Utah, to collect an 'exhib
it of fruits for the congress, with the
view of winning the cup for Utah
and then taking the exhibit and the
cup down to st. Louis next year.
am a Colorado man myself and am
anxious that Colorado should secure
this prize. How would it do for
Grand Junction to unite with Canon
City, making a joint exhibit to com
pete in Colorado's behalf for this
prize? Please take this matter up
