Judge Voorhees, held a short ses-
sion of the district court last Mon
day, sentencing two young men. who
got into trouble last week. and sig
nified a desire to plead guilty, to
terms in the penitentiary.
Dent Nash. a painter and paper
hanger. was the first delinquent to
come up for consideration. Mash
forged q check for SIS one day last
week. signing the name Of Eckert 4
Meyers. his employers. and attempt
ed to have it cashed at McCarty
& Athens. McCarty thought the
check looked suspicious. and on
looking up noticed Mr. Eckert en-
terinR the store. The latter pro-
nounced the check forgery. and IN
a very few moments Mr.. Dent and
his jag were incarcerated in the
county bastile. When Judge Voor-
hees asked the prisoner il he had
anything to say before sentence
was passed upon him. Dent pleaded
for mercy on the ground Of over
indulgence in booze. and the judge
said he would give him a chance to
get good and sober by sentencing
him to Canon City for a term Of not
less than one year nor more than
two years.
Eugene Dingman was the next
delinquent. He was up on three
charges of burglary in Otero
county one in La Junta and two in
Rocky Ford. Dingman was released
from the penitentiary June 18th.
and since that date has been doing
. land ofYice business in the burglary
line in the Arkansas Valley. He
started in at Lamar and turned a
trick every night until he was ar
rested by accident in Rocky Ford.
The night mar.hAl there saw him
loafing about the melon sheds in
Rocky Ford and carrying a satchel.
The marshal asked Dingman to open
the grip. which he did. grabbing q
gun from q varied assortment
therein and firing At the marshal.
Dingman finally surrendered. Hs
grip showed . varied asnortment Of
revolvers. four in number. three
watches, q dozen silver spoons, and

The only accident we heard Of on
the Fourth happened to bunch of
engineers who were on their way in
a carriage to the grounds north of
the river to participate in the trap
shooting tournament. arriving on
the grounds after the shooting
was all over. They struck a bum
piece Of track across the river. one
of the main rods breaking loose and
stripping the hind wheel off the
carriage. The entire party was
ditched by the accident. and for
several minutes six husky engineers
were wallowing around in the sand
trying to untangle themselves.
They all escaped without serious
injury. although there were few
skinned noses and fingers.
