opment company. under the efficient
management OF d. T. Gof OF Delta, is
now at work plating the b acres OF
land, which lies north OF Meyer l. Dou
ghty's store. The ground formerly be-
longed to Mrs. Mary Charlton.
John A. Curtis, county surveyor of
this county, came up "Wednesday and
commenced the work OF surveying this
land into town lots with streets and al
leys. As soon as the plats are made
out, which will be in about ten days,
these lots will be placed on the market
at reasonable prices.
This will be a big thing for Cedaredge,
build business houses and residences il
they could procure land. This difficulty
being overcome, this place will now ex-
perieuce building boom OF no small
importance. There are numerous open
ings for different kinds of business
here. and with a place to locate they
will be sure to come.
One thing that the people here should
do is see to it that q piece OF land be re-
served as city park, this can be done
very reasonably at present as Mr.. Goff
states that he will do the fair thing by
the people. Other small towns have
neglected this point and it has placed
them in hai fix.
Among the first improvements is a
two-etory hotel, which will accot mo.
date from 25 to 20 persons. This build.
ing will be frame and is to be built
under the direction Of Mr.. Goff. The
money for this enterprise is now on de-
posit in the Delta bank.
Every ybody in the vicinity should as
sist Mr.. GOT in making this one OF the
prettiest little towns in this part OF
Colorado. This can be easily accom-
plished il all will take an interest

The Cummins Case - Vivian
Richardson's Bond-Court
Notes.

After their trial had been interrupt
ed on point of law for week and
two days. the four Chinese indicted for
riot at WaiaIua were discharged yes
terdav under verdict of acquittal
directed by the court On Monday, the
18th inst, the prosecution closed its
case. A. S. Humphreys for the de-
PENDANTS then moved for a directed
ment of the grand jury, that the true
names of the two defendants called
John Doe and Richard Roe in, the
indictment We're to them unknown, was
at variance with the facts in that the
defendants had been tried and convict
ed in the District Court of Honolulu
under their real names. This point was
argued on that day and on Wednesday
and taken under advisement.
On Thursday Deputy Attorney Cen
eral NJ. F. Prosser moved to have the
case reopened SO that he might put
]. D. Tucker, foreman of the grand
jury. on the stand in reference to the
point raised about names. The court
took time to rule on this motion until
2 o'clock that day. but when the hour
arrived continued the case until Mon
day last.
On Monday the case was continued
until Tuesday, and on Tuesday until
yesterday Then the court denied the
motion for a directed verdict of ac-
quittal. Mr.. Humphreys forthwith
moved for the discharge of the defend
ants on the ground that the continuing
of the case as it had been continued
from day to day, was prejudicial to
the defendants because the jury could
not hold the facts in their proper Sc
quence. and because the court had
abused its discretion in taking up an
other case for trial while this trial
was pending.
Judge Gear asked if objections to the
continuances We're entered at the times
they were made. Mr.. Humphreys an
swering in the negative the motion was
denied.
Another motion for the discharge of
the defendants was made and denied,
when Mr.. Humphreys closed the case
for the defense, putting in no evidence.
Mr.. Prosser went ahead with the clos
