\ Knocker Called Down.

This morning some fellow claim
ing to be a business man OF Lead
Vile had n number of small crab
apples of a very inferior quality
which he was showing around on the
street near the line at the Auditor
ium. stating that these crabs were
fair sample of the fruits raised in
the Grand valley He made the as
sertion that over half the apples of
any kind sent out of this valley were
worm-eaten, and proceeded to run
down the fruit industry of this sec
ton. He made many wild and un-
founded statements.
Capt. J. A. Lyons, who was stand
ing by, listened to the man for a
few minutes and then proceeded to
call him down in proper style. in
order to counteract whatever effect
the words of this "knocker' might
have on the crowd Mr.. Lyons gave
him a few straight facts and. denying
every statement that he had made
told him he could prove every state
ment he had made to be false
The fellow still persisted that q
great portion of the Grand valley ap-
pies We're worm-eaten, when Capt.
!. A. Lyons told him that he had
carriage and that he would deposit
$40 with a gentleman standing by, to
be forfeited if he couldn't take the
man to any of the big orchards and
show him tree after tree of apples
with 80 per cent OF the fruit un-
touched by worms or marred by
splotches of any kind.
The fellow backed down, closed
his face and quietly stole away.

Yelton Worked the Train.

Indignation has been expressed by
many of the notaries public of the
city over the alleged action OF Ed
gar A. Yelton. the notary public and
real estate man.
Yelton left the city Monday, for
the purpose. it is said, of returning
on one of the excursion trains run
ming into the city in order to have
everything to himself in the work of
making out affidavits for the home
seekers. Mr.. Yelton went to Colora-
do Springs and yesterday at noon
boarded the Colorado Midland pas
senger train, No. 105. He began the
work of making out affidavits so
Letting work among the several hun
dred homeseekers who were on board
the train bound for this city. He had
all he could do during the hours he
was on the train.
When the train reached the city
last night many of the notaries who
were at their Offices found that a
great number of the passengers on
this particular train We're already
armed with the necessary papers and
inquiries among the passengers re-
yealed the fact that Yelton had
played the other notaries of the city
a foxy game by going to another city
and working the train as it ran to
Grand Junction.
1t was jokingly remarked by many
on the street this morning that the
laugh was on the notaries who went
down on Second street and in the
depot yards last night and put up
their little stands, waited two or
three hours to catch the trains and
then when 105 came to be given the
cold go by" by hundred or more
of the passengers who had met up
with Yelton.
If Helton attached his notary seal
10 ahidavits outside of Mesa county
the legality of the affidavit is nee
essarily questionable for the reason
that Mr.. Yelton is commissioned to
act and serve as notary public in
Mesa county, and notary for one
county cannot legally act as a notary
in another county.

HELENA, Oct. n.-Attorney General
Galen's recent opinion attacking the
legality of s4S5,OOO bonds issued upon
state land grants, will, in all proba-

sole topic of conversation in official
circles at the capitol, so vital are the
interests involved. Governor Toole

on the proposition, holding that the

q difference in the wording of the en-.
