Grubb'S Fancy Potatoes

Fred johnson, of the Denver Stock
man, repudiates the suggestion that
Gene Grubb, the sage of Mount
Sopris, worked ''con'' game on un-
suspecting New Workers. Very lucid
ly johnson states the Grubb case:
E II. Grubb is down from Carbon
dale and reports that he has succeeded
in selling all his potatoes. When it
comes to selling things, Gene is a
bird. When he was in New York a
few weeks ago he conceived an idea
of introducing his spuds ON the New
York market. When he came home
he secured a lot of orange crates and
wrappers and proceeded to sort out a
lot of his potatoes, wipe them off care
fully, wrap them in tissue paper of
assorted colors and pack them in
crates, 80 pounds to crate. The
crates were labeled: "Grown by E.
Fl. Grubb, Colorado. Especially
for Baking" Especially for Boil
ing. ''Prime Saratoga Chip Pota-
toes. - "Grown Especially for French
Frying etc. A big commission firm
in New York that caters only to the
arstocratic trade, is handling the
Grubb potatoes at fancy prices, and is
after the exclusive right for New
York. As result Gene has been
selling his stock at a cent per pound,
while other growers are feeding their
crop to the cattle.
We'll, it's this way, said Grubb.
when accused of playing confidence
game on the innocent New Workers.
Over at Carbondale we raise the best
potatoes grown in the world. That is
proven fact. Now, if you ship the
potatoes to New York in dusty old
sack, they look just the same as the
poor stock from the country. When
you fix 'em up little to show that
they are not common bred spuds, they
attract attention. Down in New York
they want the best there is on earth,
and the price cuts no ice. We breed
the best potatoes on earth. and l pro-
pose to make the rich people of New
York see it if l have to cover each po-
tato with gold leaf.
At last reports Grubb's Especially
Grown were booming at two cents
per pound in New York, while the
ordinary spuds We're a drug on the
market at 10 cents per bushel. From

Revival at Canon

Never in the history of Fremont
county has Canon City had such re-
ligious shaking up as it is having
now, says the Florence Tribune The
Rev. Billie Sunday, reformed base
ball player, and evangelist. opened a
series of revival services there Sun
day, conducting three services. one in
the morning, afternoon and evening.
in the large tabernacle erected for
that purpose by the various churches.
At Sunday night services there were
B. 600 people in the tents and about 500
were turned away for want of room.
People attended from the surrounding
country, the camps and Florence.
Rev. Sunday recently held a great re-
vival at Dixon, H., where nearly all
of the unconverted in the town pro-
tessed religion. The noted evangelist
was formerly professional baseball
player, and was member of the
White Stockings that played during
the Worlds Fair in Chicago.
The Canon City Clipper says: His
sermons have been marvsls of bril-
liancy of thought, beaming in sar-
casm strongly denunciatory of sin in
the church and out of it. Up to and
including last night the evangelist has
paid more attention to getting tbs
church membership in line for the re-
generation of Canon than he has to
"rapping' sinners. He will begin
to empty his gattling gun into the
camp of the purely worldly inhabi-
tants tonight. He requests that chill
dren under l2 years of age remain at
home tonight to make room for a
special train from Florence. We can
not report MIR. Sundays sermons in
full. but give number of his aphor-
isms
"A great many men expect to buy
their way into the Kingdom by max
ing presents to the Lord through a
liberal donation to church or col
lege"
Some men pray when they are

Men will pray for rain, but say
good bye, Lord, when the irrigation

There are over 26 600, 600 Protest

Assault and Battery

Thomas Harnahan was before JUS
tice Witten last Wednesday on a
charge of assault preferred by Henry
Foreman who in support of his claims,
exhibited an eye that resembled a
burnt onion and cheek bone that
looked like a piece of spoiled liver.
Foreman said Harnahan marred his
facial beauty and the defendant ad-
mjtted it, but said Foreman was to
blame as he came to his cabin and
assaulted him with piece of iron
when h~ knocked Foreman down the
hill and started down after him.
Foreman hurled big rock at Harna,
han which the latter says broke his
ribs. He exhibited this boulder to
the court. Tue judge found Harna-
han not guilty but admonisned both
scrappers that hencetorth they must
both be good or he would give them
a chance to contribute to the town g
exchequer.
