First Cantaloupes.

Arthur Marsh, field superintend-
ent for the local melon grower 5 asso-
citation, brought to Greeley Tuesday
the first cantaloupe picked here this
season. 1t was from the Hubbard
ranch, two miles east of LaSalle.
At about the same time Paul Greg
ory, who is one of the melon enthus-
lasts, made his first shipment Of the
luscious fruit to Denver.
This makes the Greeley melons
only two days behind the Rocky
Ford product, which is rather re-
markable, considering tnat this is
the first season the melons have been
grown here. The specimen brought
in here looks like the real Rocky
Ford article. 1t is of the right
shape and size and has the proper
netting, and-well III was not
tasted.

that plenty OF green grass seemed to

there is some doubt about the mat

Back from Fair.

County Commissioner r. W. De-
vinney returned home Sunday even
ing from months vacation spent at
the Worlds Fair and at his home in
Sparta, Ill. Mrs. Devinney, who
accompanied him, is still at her old
home in Pinckneyville, III.
Mr., Devinney's parents took up
government land within sixty miles
of St. Louis sixty years ago, and his
mother lives on the place, his father
being dead.
The things that particularly at
tracted Mr.. Devinney's attention AZ
the fair were the agricultural and
horticultural exhibits. The latter
is all of last years crop, kept In cold
storage, but nevertheless we'll pre-
served, and Mr.. DeVinney was proud
Of the showing made by this state.
He says the agricultural exhibit from
Weld county is as good as that OF
any county In the state. but the
Worlds Fair commissioners are walt
ing anxious!y for this falls crop OF
potatoes and sugar heets to show
visitors just what this country can
do. There is no beet sugar exhibit
from this section at all, and as this
is now one OF the most important
industries the county commissioners
will likely make considerable effort
to remedy this defect as soon as the
new beets are large enough to send.

The Carroll Beet Dump.

Opposite the City hall, surrounded
by six shows, there was one show,
the best that ever came to Greeley.
one of the greatest labor saving ma
chimes in the world, the Carroll
dumping apparatus, which will un-
load 10000 tons from fat cars
without any power-two men will do
the work; and 1900 tons from wagons,
one man doing the work. A five-ton
load can be dumped in thirty seconds.
Mr.. Carroll had perfect working
machine which he worked, dumping
beets and potatoes. His show was
the best patronized In Greeley, as it
was always surrounded ny farmers.
Several of the farmers said the COM
pauy that would not put IN the Car
roll beet dump ought not get any
beets. | would advise the manager
of the Greeley factory to put in the
Carroll dumps, especially along the
railroad where he has derricks. The
farmers want them. All the sugar
com panies in Colorado are using the
Carroll heet dump except the Greeley
company and it would be to their
interest to put them in and help the
farmers.

the series of improvements that the
road has been making in the city, partic-
ularly, the position and elevation OF
the tracks, where the freight cars are
unloaded. The officers re-entered their
car about eight o'clock this morning, and
the locomotive steamed off with its sin

DOES AN ACROBATIC STUNT.
Joe Lewis, Murderer, Turns Jail Into
Circus Tent.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Joe Lewis, the youth who is being
held to the grand jury charged with
the commission of the recent box car
murder, is making his cell room at the
Jail sort of circus tent. Sunday af
ternoon Lewis had many visitors and he
earned neat sum doing acrobatic feats
at which his is quite expert.
He is circus performer of no mean
ability and if he is allowed more COM
pany may secure considerable wealth
before he is sentenced for the crime he
admits. Lewis appreciates the fact that
he had been given considerable advertis-
ing so he decided to take advantage of it
by giving performances in his cell.
The first company of note that came
to see Lewis visited him Sunday after
noon He had no more than seen the
first of the crowd before he began twist
ing and tieing himself up into knots,
acrobatic stunts such as the close quar-
tiers of his cell room would permit. Wnen
the first performance was over he glibly
announced the collection. A welcome
dime dropped in on the cement floor of
the cell and it was followed by quar-
ter and a nickle and then came show
er of coins of small denominations. Lewis
looked very much pleased and the sue
cess of his first performance prompt
ed him to announce the concert which
usually follows all exhibitions of the
high class similar to that he was giving.
By this time the cell corridor was jam.
med full of people. The event was
pronounced financial success, Lewis says,
and he hopes to be allowed to give other
exhibitions from time to time.-Owaton-

SENT TO JAIL.
Judge PIymat Deals Summary With
a Wife Beaten.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Herman Krummel was arrested at his
home at eight o'clock last evening by
Officer Robb on the charge of assaulting
his wife. The police had an old warrant
hanging over Krummel since last Aug
gust. At that time his wife got out the
warrant, charging him with assault,
committed on Aug. Goth. He left the
eity before It could be served, and did
not rsturn until late in the fall. 1t was
thought best to let matters rest where
they were, and the police kept the war
rant. No complaints were received as to
Krummers conduct until last evening,
when his daughter telephoned to the
police station that he was attacking his
wife. Then Officer Robb was sent to
serve the old warrant. Krummel had
evidently been drinking too much.
Krummel was locked up over night,
and this morning was arraigned and
pleaded guilty to the charge. The court
sentenced him to serve ninety days in
the county Jail.

CHARGES AGAINST. SHERIFF.
lie Sueur County Official Is Up Against
Serious Complaint.
From, Wodn osda 90 naiIv

LIE Sueur, April 2O.-Mrs. Lizzie Kritz-
er, young and handsome married wom-
an living near this city, has filed writ
ten complaint with Justice of the Peace
George j. Dressed, charging Sheriff JOS
eph Smith of LIE Sueur county with hav-
ing criminally assaulted her.
The Kritzers live on farm which they
rent of Sheriff Smiths father. Sheriff
Smith called at the Kritzer home about
two weeks ago, according to the COM
plant filed by Mrs. Kritzer, and per-
suaded her husband to drive to town to
get key of beer.
Mrs. Kritzer's father in-law, who also
lives at the house, went out to do some
chores. Mrs. Kritzer alleges that while
she was left alone in the house with
Sheriff Smith he assaulted her.
A complaint has also been lodged with
the county attorney, but that official
has taken no action, and Smith has not
been arrested The county attorney may
not order an arrest, but bring the mat
ter before the grand jury, which meets
in September.
The board of county commissioners
met last week and spent some part of
the afternoon discussing the charges
against Smith, but took no action.
The matter will undoubtedly be
brought to the attention of Governor
Van SAINT by some citizen of the county
if charges are not made by the authori-
ties.
Mrs. Kritzer is eighteen years old,
and bears an excellent reputation. Her
husband is man who stands high in
the community, and has said he will
push the charges against Smith to the
utmost.
Joseph Smith is serving his second
term as sheriff of LIE Sueur county, and
has been popular official. He is mar
ried, and has family.

SAVE WORRY AND MONEY.
Pardon Board to Be Asked to Act on
Lewis Case.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The Owatonna Journal had quiet tip
Monday morning that petition was be-
ing circulated and freely signed, which
will be presented to the state board of
pardons at its next session.
This petition recites at some length
the murder of Harry Krier, a year ago;
the arrest of the Nelson boys and SUIT
ton; their trial. conviction and sentence !;
the great excitement and worry and dis
turbance of business affairs during the
eight or nine months of the trial and
subsequent proceedings, and then the ac-
tion of the board of pardons in commut-
ing the sentence of the prisoners to life
imprisonment, which means, practically
but about eight or ten years.
In view of all these proceedings and
the action of the board, the petitioners
say that much worry, expense and bust
ness disturbance in this county might
be saved and the progress of the case be
greatly expedited by turning the Lewis
and Stewart cases over to the board
without further proceeding in the Steele
county courts of law.
Of course it is true that Lewis shot
Moberg and killed him in the Rock Is
land yards in this city; that Stewart
was with him at the time and helped to
plan the assault and robbery; that Dris-
coll and st. Martin were eye witnesses
to the tragedy; that Lewis has confess
ed more than one hundred times that he
killed the man-an these things are true.
But in the case of the Nelson boys
there was proof positive from Sutton,
one of the accomplices; confederation by
the two girls, and corroborating circum-
stantial evidence of the very strongest
character. The case was tried by jury
of the very best men in this county, and
unanimous verdict of guilty was
brought in. Subsequently in speaking of
the case Judge Buckham said:
Gin brief, I desire to say, that in my
Judgment the parties had a fair trial,
by an intelligent and CONSCIENTIOUS jury,
and that there was abundant evidence to
sustain the verdict"
The supreme court reviewed the case
and held that the evidence sustained the
verdict of the jury and refused to inter
fere with the sentence, holding that
'sNew trials in criminal prosecutions
have for many years been granted by
the courts with too much iberality, and
to such an extent have the technical
rights of the accused persons been mag
nifed and upheld, that that, too, in cases
where guilt was overwhelmingly shown,
as to result in much public discomfort
and to bring the administration of Grim
inal laws into disrepute."
In view, therefore, of the history of
former cases the petitioners will ask
of the board that it exercise its high,
prerogative right and take the Lewis
and Stewart cases out of the hands of
the courts of law and deal with them
as in its wisdom may be deemed just and
proper, and all the people will say amen.

Tom lien Discharged Because No
Statute Was Violated.
State Had introduced Evidence to
Prove Attempted Bribery.
Two Witnesses Testified That He
offered Them Money.
Defense Then Showed the Defect
in the Law.
From Mondays Daily.

The preliminary hearing of Tom lien
on the charge of trying to hire witnesses
to testify for the plaintiff in the dam
age suit of Joseph Kouri VS.. Naiff Aldo
was had this forenoon in the municipal
court. County Attorney Wilson and W.
L. Comstock appeared for the state, and
c. 0. DALEY fc- the defendant.
Nat c. Cumpins testified that lien had
offered him SIS to testify that Kouri
vas at tie store of JOSEPH Sashara at )
2. e. ct March 2ist f. Huntley testi-
fed that he heard lien make the PROPOSE
ton to Cummins. Geo. Bower testified
that lien had offered him SIS to testify
to the same thing, and later had raised
the offer to $40. j. S. Barr testified to +,
something similar. The state then rest
ed.
The attorney for the defendant then
moved that the case be dismissed and the
defendant discharged on the ground that
the state had wholly failed to prove that
any offense had been committed. He
quoted section 100 of the penal code. as
follows:
"Bribing Witnesses-A person who
gives or offers or promises to give, to
any witness or person about to be called
as witness, any bride, upon any under
standing or agreement that the testi-
mony of such witness shall be thereby
influence, or who attempts by any other
means fraudulently to induce any wit
ness to give false testimony, is guilty
of felony, or to withhold true
testimony, is guilty of felony"
He said that Cummins was not wit
ness in the case, and therefore the stat
ute did not apply.
The motion was argued at some length,
and the court then sustained it and dis
charged lien.
It develops under the law, according
to the ruling of the court, that person
who, by persuasion but without promise
of reward, tries to bride another per-
son not witness to testify in case
can be punished, but if he tries to bride
by promising money he violates no law,
The lawmakers should look to this, and
see that this loophole in the law is cor
rected.

DEMURRER SUSTAINED.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Judge Cray today made an order sus-
tanning the demurrer interposed by the
defense to the complaint in the case
of Thomas Madigan VS.. John W..
Schmitt as trustee in bankruptcy of the
estate of Thomas Madigan, bankrupt.
The demurrer was based on the ground
that the court has no jurisdiction of the
person of the defendant, or of the sub
iect of the action; that there is another
action pending between the same parties
for the same thing; and that the COM
nlaint does not state facts sufficient to
constitute cause of action. The plain
tiff is granted leave to file an amended
complaint within ten days.
