SALOONKEEPERS CONVICTED
IN THE COUNTY COURT
Judge The To Bring Verdict OF Guilty.
Fined $4,000 On Count.

The extraordinary public interest in
the whiskey cases, now being tried be-
fore Judge Cooper in the county court
on appeal from the police court, is an
indication that Canon City people re-
gard the issue involved as matter of
deep concern to themselves and to
the community.
Altogether some twenty cases in
which the defendants were charged
with an illegal traffic in intoxicants
under the city ordinances, were taken
up to the county court on an appeal
from the police magistrates tribunal,
where they had been adjudged guilty
of breaking the law. and where they
had ben fined for its violation.
The first of these cases to be called
for trial in Judge Cooper's court was
the City of Canon City VS.. Joseph Wal
ton, John ID. Lloyd and Frank p.
Goldsberry, officers of the Canon City
Labor Club. David Horton, who is
now serving a Jail sentence for dis
pensing Intoxicating liquors as pres
ident of the club, was subsequently
made "a defendant in this case by COM
plying with the demands of the court
in relation TO his appeal bond, and,
with the others, came in for his share
of the penalty, which was Tuesday
night fixed by the jury.
In the county court it is optional
with the accused in civil matters as
to whether his cause is heard by u
jury of twelve men or one of six men,
and Walton and his associates of the
I oil, Clnh fny-nEad the
services of the larger body to hear
the evidence and pass upon their guilt
or innocence under the law.
The testimony of witnesses sum-
moned to give evidence before the jury
was in the main conclusive as to the
object and purposes of the club for
which the defendants were on trial,
and conviction seemed certain long be-
fore the case was submitted to the
jury 1t was proven beyond question
that liquor was dispensed at the club,
in fact, that 1t was veritable saloon.
so far as It's membership was con-
cerned. David Horton. its president,
is believed by most people to have
stated the truth when he told the Of
ficers that 1t was organized for the
purpose OF beating the law"
There was no conflicting testimony
during the trial as to the price re-
quired for drinks at the club. nor was
there any eQuivocation on the part
OF witnesses for the city in relation
to other matters which the prosecu-
ton was endeavoring to establish. The
fact was proven that the club had
violated the ordinances OF the city
and the deduction was easy that the
purpose of Its organization was to
trafiio in intoxicants despite the ex-
pressed will Of majority OF the
voters at the election last spring that
liquors should not be sold within the
city limits.

tion With the trial ocuRrred Tnsadny

PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE
POSSIBLE FOR CANON
Canon City And Pueblo Will Bid
For The Institution.

Canon City people Will be glad to
know that the college proposition is
not dead. The long wait has been ne
cessary because some people felt that
the time was not ripe for action. 9th
ers have argued that because of the
several large colleges in the state an
other institution of higher learning
would be superhuous. But the Pres
byterian denomination is very strong
one in the west and statistics show
that they have no college nearer than
Emporia, Kansas to the East, Los An
geles, California. TO the Southwest,
Huron. Dakota, to the Northeast. and
Mckinney. Texas, to the South.
There is a small Institute at Salt
Lake City. This leaves very large
territory to draw upon for such col
lege.
Both Doctors Patton and Elliott, at
the largest colleges, at the last COM
mencements had considerable to say
in favor of the small college. 1t ap-
pears that far better results are gain
ed through having the students in
close touch with the teachers and not
as 1t must necessarily be with a thou
sand or more students in one insti-
tuition.
After the death of Mr.. F. A. Ray
nolds Canon was left without a repre-
sentative on the committee of the
Synod having in charge the locating
of the college. Yesterday meeting
of the committee was held at Colorado
Springs and Mr.. 8. H. Atwater was
chosen to fill the vacancy. He was
present and found that the feeling was
quite enthusiastic for prompt action.
After careful consideration. the fol-
lowing resolutions were passed unan-
imously:
First. That we owe It to the Church,
to the country, and to the whole cause
OF Christ to make an EFFORT to plant q
Presbyterian college within the bounds
OF our Synod.
Second. A site, good and we'll
equipped buildings, faculty consist
ing of not less than eight persons OF
recognized executive ability. the sal
ary OF whom should be assured for
I'VE years.
Third. That the College Board.

to liberal gifts for mAintainence.

movement before in any city in the
United States. The entire work is in
charge of The City Beautiful commit
tee of the 10000 club of Spokane.
One committee has engaged sixty
teams and will employ seventy-five to
clean up properties on that day. The
City Beautiful committee has issued an
illustrated pamphlet showing what is
needed to make Spokane the most
beautiful city in the West"
The Park.
The League has had much to do
with getting that tract in front of the
pen" parked. Money was raised for
the water pipes. The pipes are here.
Warden Cleghorn is doing the work
and is making strong effort to get
the place in grass this summer.
The tract is being leveled and the
trenches are being dug for the water
pipes. After this good soil will be
hauled and spread over the tract for
a depth of a foot Then the seed will
be planted.
Mr.. Cleghorn hopes to have grass
growing this summer. but he appreci-
ates that he has big task before him.
About one hundred and fifty trees
will be planted on our cleanup day.
This park will be in extent little
over nine acres. 1t is along the line
of the Rio Grande railroad and will
be beauty spot seen by the thous-
ands of tourists passing through

afternoon when the prosecution at
tempted to impeach the character of
David Horton and Joseph Walton, a
matter in which they failed.
Among the witnesses subpoenaed
by the defendants in the impeachment
proceedings were II. C. White, George
R. Cassidy, George A. Baker, George
F. Rockafellow. George R. Tanner and
R NJ. Pope.
All of the evidence having been sub
mitted the jury was dismissed at $50
o'clock Tuesday afternoon with or
ders to reconvene two hours later for
the purpose of receiving instructions
of the court in relation to the case.
At the hour appointed the jurors
were in their places and We're duly
polled by the court, after which the
Judge told them that under the or
dinances they could not do otherwise
than find the defendants guilty as
charged, and must fix their penalty
at not less than one hundred nor more
than three hundred dollars each. as
provided by the statutes of Colorado.
The right of the judge to take the
question of the guilt or innocence out
of the hands of the jury is recognized
by the legal profession as one of the
prerogatives of the judiciary, but 1t
is not often that the exigencies of the
case require him to exercise it, al
though such was the case in the mat
ter at issue last Tuesday.
The defendants, through their at
torneys, have given notice OF their in
tention to make application for new
trial, and. IL that is refused, will ap-
peal the matter to the supreme court
of the state. The amount of the 'ap-
peal bond in the event the case is car
ried to the supreme court, will be de-
termined by the judge and will be suf-
ficient to cover judgment and costs

A young man said: You older men
don't know what it means to us young
fellows to have strong successful
business man like Mr.. Reynolds take
the stand he did. He always encour-
aged. me when he met me-"
A successful business man said: "a
company of us used to meet here at
the noon hour for fifteen minutes
prayer. Mr.. Reynolds was the busiest
man in town, but no one was hero
more regularly than he. The humility
of the man, his readiness to confess
his sin and to struggle and try again
has meant much to me. 1 can never
forget my conversations with him."

said another, ''but for the first time
in many years l have shed tears, be-
cause I've lost my best friend" Then
this big-hearted, big-browed, trained
business man bowed his head and ev-
cry man wept with him. 1t was
silent but eloquent tribute to any man.
A pastor of a church, with which
Mr.. Reynolds had no denominational
affiliation, told of his visits to homes,
of the stories he had heard of Mr.. Ray
nolds' unfailing generosity. He said:
How many times have / heard L could
not have gone through had it not been
for Mr.. Raynolds.' Others may directly
or indirectly destroy homes, but we
love Mr.. Reynolds because in thou
sand ways he sought to build them up"
At one of the last meetings of tenn
perance workers which Mr.. Reynolds
attended he said: You men may do
as you please, but l have covenanted
with God. that so long as l live. it
matters not how much sacrifice it
represents, even to life itself, I'll never
in any way again endorse a saloon, SO
help me God" Again at another meet
ing he said: Some people say choose
the lesser of two evils but by the help
of the Lord I'll not choose either"
This meeting broke up silently, but
many a man went away with new
light in his eye and new purpose in
his heart The influence of Mr.. Ray
nolds for good will be felt in this town
for . generation. Fhis-was a wonder
full tribute to noble man.

Few of your readers enjoy the shade
trees of our city equal TO the pioneers
who. when they came. saw no other
trees except the grand old cotton
woods that marked the windings of
the Arkansas.
From the old pictures residents of
today can note the barrenness for lack
of trees and almost wonder how peo-
pie were attracted to the spot. The
essential for their life-water-had TO
be supplied first. They earnestly bent
their energies toward taking out the
first irrigation canal in 1862 and 1868.
Cultivation OF crops from necessity
engrossed their early attention.
w. C. Catlin. Governor Arson Rudd
and Wilson A. Helm were among the
first to dig from the river bottoms and
set out the cottonwood saplings. as
also fruit trees. that were shipped
over the plains in prairie schooners,
at cost OF a dollar and n half each.
Jonathan A. Draper set out cotton
woods in front OF the Fremont House
on the corner near where the deputy
warden's house stands. and others
along the western portion of Main and
First streetst now Macon avenue). Or
son G. Stanley set out the largest num-
ber ON the place now owned by Lyman
Robson. In 1871 Col. William III.
Greenwood, then general manager and
chief engineer constructing the ID. &
r. G. railroad. shipped 100 naples. the
first brought into the country. Ninety
six of these he set out on the place
now owned by Mrs. Greenwood. and
but for the neglect of the man in
whose care he left them and who was
living on the place. it would be the
most attractive spot about Canon City
today, and the trees as large as the
four he gave to his friend, George
Rcckafellow.
About this time j. II. Harrison set
the now noble cottonwoods along the
front of his farm. and the year follow
ling Judge j. H. Terry bought the
France farm, and found species of
cottonwood not bearing cotton on the
bottoms that attracted his attention.
He set out the entire half mile in front
of his place. The only ones remaining
are along the front of Mrs. General X.
A. Camerons tract.
About this time Eugene Weston
came and called public meeting.
which he addressed on the Importance
of setting out shade trees and shrub
berry. That started little enthusi-
asm. and then followed our Arbor
days, at which times every one joined
faithfully with the result that the good
work continued until Harding Broth
~rs showed the people that street shade
trees never could be grown without
Irritating bitches. They planted and
kept them growing by tank irrigation
until the land was built on and be-
came so valuable that Moses Reynolds
and Earle built the canal that now
