A CLEAN SWEEP MADE
A Jury is Drawn That Does Things
to the Evil Doer.

This term OF the district court mas
been al eventful one FOR the numb Of
convictions out of the small docket be
fore it Ii has been something OF by
word that everybody goes free in Delta
county. but his term seems to have
been az exception to this rule. When
it is properly sifted dow it is found that
the jury that was drawn this term OF
court is responsible Tor this shaking up.
The twelve men drawn to sit on these
cases is claimed to be about the best
and most representative jury that the
county has ever bad aLd we're cumpli-
mented by the judge for the excellent
services rendered the county in dispos-
ing of cases trieo before them, There was
very little time spent 10 the jury room
as all were good men and pretty much
Uf the same mind. The jury was dis
missed Tuesday after the following re-
suits:
james <. Hixon rs the pc ople, charged

DELTA PACKING HOUSE ASSURED
ADVANTAGES Of Modern Packing House Located
at Delta are Many.

The location OF packing company at
this place will save considerable to this
section. Instead of shipping practically
all cattle hogs aud sheep on foot to eas
tern points it can be dressed here and
shipped much more economically.
Tne freight TO Missouri river points
will save the shipper hundred OF dollars
in shrinkage in weight saying nothing
OF com issions. u saving Of railroad fare
aud feeding. amounting to about s3 per
head to Kansas City. Cattle killed in
Delta can be shipped anywhere 10 the
United States and sell for good price.
being free from bruises, which cattle are
subject to when shipped on foot and
should bring at least. as good a price.
Besides this. there is no reason why
a packing company situated here should
not hold. exclusively. the western slope
trade and furnish the mining camps
on this side with meats OF all kinds.
An industry cf this kind will be a una
teriai benefit to this section in many
ways it will not only enhance the price
OF real estate but in the course OF time
will insure an artificial ice and cold
storage plant and will enable the fruit
growers to keep their fruit at home and
await better prices.
Dressed meats can be shipped great
deal cheaper than on foot. consequently
in the center OF Il cattle raising section
is the very bes, location for packing
house.
