The sheIiff's Office began the new
year with perhaps the finest set of
record hooks In any sheriff's Office In
the state. The new books we're
planned by Undersheriff Fred WILL
Jams and are designed to make rec
ords Of all business done by the office
during the year more easy OF access,
not alone to attaches OF the office
but attorneys having business in the
various courts. The book to contain
the civil business is the more impor-
tant OF the two, the second one being
for criminal business. On the left
hand page Of the former are printed
blanks showing name Of case, attor-
neys for plaintiff and defendant,
docket number, kind of Instrument,
when received, when served and
when returned. On opposite page is
shown writs served for plaintiff and
defendant, and who is debtor and
who creditor. The criminal record
book is not so complete, but never
theless, an improvement over the old
method of keeping the records.

TROUBLE AT LUPTON
Excitement Aroused over Alleged
Eviction.

Fort Lupton has what some of the
citizens in that part OF the county
consider regular Irish landlord and
tenant eviction scrap, and now the
district court has been evoked to
settle the matter.
According to the complaint filed
in the court clerks office, John
Crosswhite had possession for a long
time OF certain piece OF ranch
property In the vicinity Of Fort Lup-
ton, and further that on December l
of the year just past Jemes w.
Owen, William Owen, Carl Bruce,
Talbot Munson, w. NJ. Moan, W. M.
Clark and Wesley Munsoh came TO
the Crosswhite home and under
threats and with force Of arms moved
all the family and household goods of
the place. For this alleged violence
complainant asks actual and punitive
damages to the amount Of 1880.
An answer denying in full all of
the allegations has been filed, as has
also plea of insufficient showing OF
title to the land upon which com

he claims to have been evicted.
The story that goes around outside
OF the court matter is that James

PRISONERS 'FESS UP
Inmates of County Jail Were
Good.

Three prisoners at the county Jail
decided to clear the decks of their
consciences by Tossing up. They told
Sheriff Elliott OF their good inten-
tions. He told the judge and he
tolled the prisoners to the extent OF
their liberty for several months each.
The first of the prisoners to un.
bosom himself to Judge Bennett in
the distri.t court was Lee Fretwell,
who was in Jail awaiting trial for
selling li..4 n without license at
Windsor. He was fined slOO and
costs and is now working out his fine
at the county jail.
Last Wednesday afternoon Frank
Wilson, one of the two men arrested
at the horse market in Denver about
a month ago for stealing team from
John Vose Of the Big Thompson and
another team from G. B. Kelsey Of
Platteville, confessed to the theft,
at the same time tryins to clear his
supposed partner in the crime. He
was sentenced to two years OF more
in the states prison.
The third man who plead guilty to
crime was A. r. Petty, who on
December 10 tried to pass forged
check bearing the name OF A. j.
Smillie of Eaton. He tried it on
the First National Bank of Eaton
and also on E. w. Goodan, but it
wouldn't work. He was taken to
the state reformatory at Buena Vista
by Sheriff Elliott last Thursday to
begin an indeteIminate sentence.

WORK PROGRESSING
Windsor Reservoir Now Nearing
Completion.

The stone work on the new outlet
10 Windsor reservoir was completed
a lew days ago. The work was COM
menced about October | by Alex
Mead, contractor. 1t Is q complete
stone arch four feet wide, five feet
high and $50 feet long Work on the
embankment, which is being raised
six feet, is now about half done and
with good weather will be completed
by the end Of this month. In some
features this dam will be the most
remarkable In the state. 1t is being
constructed on slope OF eight feet
to one foot, this being the heaviest
in the state. The dam will he $50
feet wide at the bottom and between
twenty and thirty feet at the top.
Irrigationists from all over the state
have been there to look at the wo'k,
because it is the first of the larger
reservoirs upon which the experiment
of constructing the dam without rip
rapping has been tried.
To complete this part OF the work
about $50, 900 cubic yards Of earth
will be moved, at cost OF about
$40. 900. This will increase the
capacity OF the reservoir from 60O,-
600, 900 cubic feet Of water to $780,
600, 600 cubic feet, thus making it
the largest completed reservoir in
the Poudre valley. There are now
20 feet OF water in the reservoir and
this ca be increased to 81 feet, all
nj which can be drawn of.
