All the buildings and stores of Rocky
Ford were decorated with the water
melon colors-green and red. 1t helps
the looks of the town greatly and lends
festive air to the occasion. Canon
City is going to decorate with national
colors. Many flags and much bunting
was sold in the town this summer, and
people can decorate very literally with
out much additional cost.

Notes From Visit to the Great Melon Feast Day and
Points That, Might. interest Local People.

half million dollars spent in the regu-
lar channels of advertising
Melon Day is unique, original, and a
great success. 1t has been observed
now for nineteen or twenty years, and
during THAT time people from every
section of the country have been there
to see the great feast of melons.
So today Rocky Ford Melon Day is
known all over America and the name
Rocky Ford attached to a watermelon
or cantaloupe stands for excellence in
every prominent market of the world.
On Melon Day something like 10000
or 15 900 watermelons and a great stack
of cantaloupes were given away. Every
one who comes Up to the booth gets a
big melon, as big as he can carry. The
feast occurs in big grove and after it
is over there is twenty-acre tract
literally covered with remains.
The Rocky Ford fair is a great sue
cess. 1t has been running for thirteen
years and growing in popularity every
year. This year the attendance on
the big day was about $4,000.
The grounds are equipped in fine
shape. 1t has grand stand as good
as the state fair at Pueblo, holding
5000 or 5000, and on Thursday every
seat was filed. The association is in
corporated for $4,000, and now has
property worth from $50, 900 to 40, 900.

Known
Here
Robert Romaine, alias !. o. White,
whose Confession In Relation
to the Dynamite Outrage
at Independence. For
mer Convict at the
Penitentiary.

Robert Romaine, alias /. o. White,
dynamite outrage at Independence on
the 9th of last June has created such a
sensation throughout the state, was
until quite recently convict at the
state penitentiary at this place. He
was received at that institution from
Pueblo May 25th, 1901, under an inde-
terminate sentence OF from two TO
four years for burglary.
He was entered on the prison records
as No. Bliss and remained in the peni-
tentiary one year, nine months and
twenty-four days, when he was given II
parole for good behavior in accordance
with the laws of the state. Romaine's
final discharge from the penitentiary,
however, did not take place until July
9th of the current year.
Soon after his parole he was given
employment by the United States
Smelling Company and he worked
there for some time, reporting in per-
son to the prison authorities as re-
quired by law. He did not seem to
take very kindly to steady employ
ment and moved about from place to
place in the state, spending consider
able part of his time in the Cripple
Greek district. Romaine was here
occasionally and worked for the Canon
City Gas Company during the nstalla-
tion Of its plant year ago last spring.
1t was during the period of his parole
that the disaster at Independence took
place. and the prison officials here do
not consider him any too good to be
implicated in affairs of that character,
although they are disposed TO accept
his confession with a liberal allowance
of salt. just previous to his arrest in
Pueblo for burglary he was in jail in
Denver on q similar charge, but he was
discharged after a week or ten days
detention owing to the inability of the
police to establish his guilt.
One OF the TRUSTEES at the peniten-
tiary stated to prison official that he
was in jail in Denver with Romaine
and was himself convicted while Ro-
maine was set free, but that upon ar
riving At the prison found Romaine
ahead of him, he having gone immedi-
ately to Pueblo, had been arrested,
sentenced and sent up for another case
Of burglary.
Romaine has wife who followed him
to this city. While he was out on pa
role they resided for time in q room
on Main street in the Chapman block
above Whipple's book store. Later
they lived on Ninth street near the
river in an old smelter building Dur
ing this time q child was born. He
seemed to care but little for his family
and made but little effort to provide
for their support.
Mr.. e. r. Francis, the second hand
dealer Of whom Romaine claims to
have taken the wire with which the
machine was connected which blew up
the Indeper deRce station, seems to re-
member but little Of the man, although
he thinks it not improbable that he
stole the wire and the theft was not
noticed as he had n considerable guam
tity Of just such wire on hand.
TROUT fishing is at its best. For

Rocky Ford people principally buy
season tickets. The secretary assured
me that nearly 1900 season tickets
were sold this year, And this is
point Canon City people should re-
member-that they get season ticket
good to go in and out of the fair any
time all three days for one dollar.
Every Canon City man ought to have
a season ticket. Get them at any drug
store.
