was the first witness today in the
Smoot case. He resumed his statement
in regard TO conditions in Utah and
the prosecutions of polygamists. An
open letter from Moses Thatcher to
President Snow in regard to the plat
form on which he had waged his cam
paign for senator was introduced and
MIR. Critchiow referred 10 threats which
had been made against Thatcher in ed
itOrialS in the Deseret News.
In the legislature OF 1901 was intro
duced the Evans anti-polygamy bill. TO
limit prosecution for certain classes OF

An Alleged Interview.

Mr. CritchlOW referred 10 an alleged
interview with Reed Smoot which was
printed in the Salt Lake Telegram
Nov &c. 1902. in which Mr.. Smoot is
charged with saying that he had no
knowledge that any apostles Of the
church were living in polygsmous CO.
habitauon. IL was stated BY the Iele-
gram that Mr.. Smoot was told that il
he wanted the information II would be
furnished. accompanied by all dates
and facts concerning the marriages.
Mr. Worthington objected 10 the
statement, on the ground that the in
terview was denied by AIr. SInoot. and
a long cOlloquy ensured between the
counsel and the members Of the COM
mittee. which the efiicial reporter was

VIZ the BIZ Was vetoed.

The witness told of the passage OF
the bill by a vote Of % 10 II. IN the
house the veto by the governor and
the sustaining of the veto. In answer
to questions Mr.. Critchlow said the
governor was a Mormon. but that the
sentiment of the country demanded
the Veto on the ground that II defended
the practice of polygamy and prevent
ed prosecutions Of violations of the law
against pOlygamOus Capitalization The
veto by the governor was put into the
record It shows that the governor
feared the passage OF the measure
would be followed by a general demand
for a constitutional amendment direct
ed solely at conditions in Utah and
that the demand would not be ignored.
Governor Wells said the result would
be that the whole state would be put
under a ban. The Evans bill prOhib-
tied prosecutions for polygamy, except
when the husband or wife filed COM

CHOICE PEACHES BRING
GOOD PRICES.
Why Many Delta County Growers Are Not Re.
eeivins Good Returns for Their Elber,as.


Over at Palisade in Mesa county
peach growers have been getting from
twenty-five cents to seventy-fve cents
more for their peaches than the price
throughout Delta county.
E. F. Gibbons, Of Palisade. who is an
extensive grower was in this city We'd
nesday and gave some reasons why this
is the case. In the first place the
growers near Palisade have made it rule
to systematically thin their peaches
which allows them to grow almost to
perfection while in other sections the
trees are over-crowded to the extent
that they are not suitable to ship any
distance and pay the freight, in fact
many are so small that they can not be
shipped at all. Too, they have reliable
parties in Boston that are paid to
handle their products to the very best
advantage. Mr.. Gibbons states that
many peaches have been shipped from
Palisade to Boston that brought sl.5o
per box.
The following is clipping from the
Chicago Fruit & Praduce Exchange.
CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-There has been
disappointment here among the re-
ceivers of Colorado peaches during this
and last week. The first peaches that
came from Palisade were fine and sold
readil for $1.25 box The peaches
which have been coming lhis week and
the last of last week were from Grand
Junction, and did not compare at all
with the peaches grown at Palisade.
The Palisade Fruit Growers associa-
ton make speciality of putting up
nothing but the best fruit and it gets
the price
H. Woods of this city handled about
thirty cars, most of which were from
Palisade. About twenty cars of these
peaches brought an average of $l.25
box and sales in Boston of one car at
sl.5O. Much of the Grand Junction
peaches sold through auction here at
fifty and seventy five cents. The freight
and the commission is forty cents, so
this left the Grand Junction growers
very little. The Colorado peach ex-
ceeds in quality the California psAch.
and it looks as though from this on.
with ordinary conditions, this peach
will take prestige over the California
fruit. The eastern markets toward
the last were not SO good on the Colo
RADIO peach. because the Maryland stock
held out in quality much better than

BANK ROBBERS
FOUND GUILTY.
Attorneys Give..Notice Of Motion Of
New Trial.

The case of James Greenwood, Geo.
Young, Tom Smith and Roll McCallis-
ter, charged with attempted bank rob
berry and accused of making an attempt
to tunnel under the First National bank
of this place, was called Monday after
noon. The case has been Of more than
usual interest here on account Of all
parties all in the case being well known.
The attorneys for the defendants put
Harry Wilson, who had turned states
evidence in the case, through a severe
siege Of questioning and succeeded in
mixing him up considerably in his evil
dence given at the preliminary hearing
last spring and also in this trial. All the
defendants denied most positively that
they were in any way connected with
the affair and witnesses were put on
the stand who swore that Wilson, while
drunk had stated that he was going to
dig under the bank and get the money.
Fred Fogg's evidence, in telling what
Wilson had confidcd to him. and the
statement of Roll McCallister, in which
he told Fogg that all the above parties.
together with Wilson, were attempt
ing to rob the bank, was the most cred
liable evidence. Most Of the other
witnesses were only preliminary in the
case-none knowing anything but what
had been told. The examination Of
witnesses took up most Of the time
from Monday afternoon until Tuesday
evening. The arguments were begun
Wednesday morning by Attorney Bur
nett for the defendants and was fol-
lowed by Deputy District Attorney
