FISHER MUST PAY.
Court Grants Alimony and Attorney
Fees and Reserved the Right to
Alter Amount in the Future.

Judge Stevens granted the motion of
Mss. Joseph Fisher for temporary
payment of alimony and Mr.. Fisher,
the defendant, must pay thirty dollars
per month to his former wife and be-
sides dig up 500 attorney fees and s25
suit costs. Some little time ago Mrs.
Fisher sued Joseph Fisher for divorce
on the ground of cruelty and asked for
reasonable alimony and expenses. The
case was tried in Ouray before Judge
Stevens. Millard Fairlamb of Delta
was attorney for the plaintiff.
Mr.. Fisher is ranchman living in
North Delta and has considerable prop
erty. The union, it is understood, has
never been very congenial one and
the matter at last was taken to the
courts with the above result.

able Program.

Last Friday evening occurred the an
nual school entertainment of the
younger grades in the Delta Schools
and very happily it was one Of the most
pleasing and well arranged affairs that
Delta has known of.
There were twenty-five or thirty
numbers on the program and all were
well rendered. II would be unfair to
say that each was not the result of long
drill and rehearsal for everyone could
notice the attempt to do his or her best.
Yet certain numbers were more inter-
esting than others on account of either
the age of the participants or the nat
ure of the part. The May-Pole drill
by the Third and Fourth Grades was a
pleasing performance and not once dur
ing the whole exercise did one Of those
who took part err.
Another number that pleased greatly
was the exercise given by the Fifth and
Sixth of North Delta, scholars under
the tutorship of Miss Potts. Each
scholar carried q green wreath and
about twelve were participants.
Jay Scofieid with . recitation and
Harold Davis with an GRAFTON also
showed careful attention and good de-
livery. Master Davis is to be COM
mended on his ability of composition as
well.
One Of the lsst numbers Of the pro-
gram was to have been first, n song by
the First Grade, teacher Miss Cope.
The title was 1.-TWO Tired Turkeys"
s.d siss n,amx Of esekHtfIs one whiIs
going through the song suggested that
each was pretty tired little turkey
himself. However the selection was
particularly well rendered and was es-
pecially pleasing on account of the fact
that it was the First Grade.
Teachers and scholars alike are to be
congratulated on the showing and pre-
paration and one could not help but ad-
mire the sincerity and pride Of all who
appeared.

Market Generally Steady.

Denver Union Stock Yards, Nay IA
lSupp,y of catt3s hsss vas very fair last
week and average quality was good.
Demand during the first few days was
good but bulk of the offerings consisted
of beef steers and it was q case of too
many for the good of the trade. Pack
ers were not very hungry towards the
close of the week and steers closed
generally 10 to Is per cent lower. Mar
ket this morning was active rs demand
was much better and prices strong to
dime higher than last weeks close.
Best steers sold at s4.70 but they were
chaice and bulk Of the business was
done around s4.00 to $4.60. Cows were
scarce all week and demand very good
but prices little lower in sympathy
with the decline on steers. Common
cows were very dull and in light de-
mand. Best cows sold up to 4.OO but
it took good ones to bring better than
s.. IS and bulk of the better killing
cows sold from this down to $500.
Bulls and veals in fair supply and
prices ruled about steady. Feeder and
stocker demand was good and prices
closed the week fully steady although
eastern markets were Is to Is per cent
lower. The same markets were again
quoted dime lower this morning but
a good strong demand here held values
up fully steady. Soma heavy feeders
sold at $40 and . string of lighter
stuff brought the same money with
freight to the river included. Common
steers are dull and market slow as buy
ers want the good kinds.
Little business has been done as yet
in southern stockers on this market Is
most of the arrivals thus far have been
contracted and billed through. Several
trainloads will be here this week AMI
next and most of them will be offered
for sale here. Stockmen wanting
southern cattle should arrange to buy
them here during the next few weeks
as large number will be offered by the
different firms located at the Denver
yards.

MIR. JUSTICE CAMPBELL delivered

Supreme Court Finds Judge Stew

Owns His Own Waste Water
While Still on His Land.

The Supreme Court has just reversed
IN important finding of Distritc Judge
Stevens in case that came up year
or SO ago. The plaintiff sued for waste
water which ran from the ranch of the
defendant, the claim based on the fact
that same has been used for period of
years and for that reason priority or
right TO it has been secured. The de-
fendant essayed to secure thus waste
water by building q lateral along the
lower end Of his place. on his own
ground. and divert it to new ground.
The Supreme Court now says that As
long rs man can secure his own water
and use It again it is his and does not
belong to ranches situate below him.
