The fact that the fruit growers an /

boxes. is well known. The scarcity of
the boxes has given the association
management much worry. 1t seems
that the trouble has been with the
railroads who have delayed the ship
ments. The Grand Junction associa
ton has had one of its men over on
the coast urging the railroads to get
a move on those twenty or more cars
of boxes for some time.
Yesterday afternoon at late hour
the news spread among some of the
growers to the effect that car of
apple boxes had arrived.
Many of these growers lost no time
in coming to town and in d little
while large number of the growers
were lined up at the association wait

1t is needless to say that the one
car did not last long but 1t is now be-

will be in within a few days.

the witnesses or attorneys.
All during the morning great
number of those unable to gain ad-
mission stood on the sidewalk around
the court house discussed the case
and awaited news from the court
room.
Many thought that no adjourn

showed that he was considerably
frightened during his trip from the

JOHN McGARVEY, GUILTY OF MUIR
DEN IN THE FIRST DEGREE AMI
FIX THE PENALTY AT DEATH -
This was the verdict returned by
! the jury i'm the case of John McGarvey
charged with the murder of Ed In
mes, the jailer.
At four o'clock, after being out for
nearly two hours, the men who held
the fate of the defendant In their
hands, announced themselves ready
to report. Immediately upon IL be-
coming known that u verdict had been
agreed upon, crowds of men surged in
10 the courtroom. The jurors took
their seats amid intense silence which
continued until the reading of the
the verdict. The prisoner was brought
from the county Jail in custody of the
sheriff and his deputy. Before the
verdict was announced he appeared
ill at ease, constantly shifting his
hands and feet and breathing with
evident difficulty. The verdict wa.l
received from the foreman and hand
ed to The clerk.
There was no sound except the
ing of the jury. When its import be-
came known, murmers, eidently of ap-
proval, were heard from all over the
court room, bnt .the pr-soner him
self manifested no emotion and in
deed seemed to be less concerned
Al. .;,.I
coolness was the subject of general re-
mark. Attorney Carnahan for the de-
fendant presented II motion for u new
trial, but this was promptly overruled
by the court. He then gave notice of
an appeal to the supreme court, whic
was allowed by the court. Ii is not
plain what the purpose of the appeal
is unless to stay the execution and
give the condemned man II few
months more of life, in case an appeal
is perfected.
The verdict evidently met with uni
versal approval and the general feel
ing of relief was plain and all seemed
satisfied that the operation of the
law had so speedily and completely
met the demands of justice, AMI
claimed whatever the popular excite
ment of passion that existed.
McGarvey will receive the SEN
tence of the court on Saturday or
Monday. The penalty will be paid at
the state prison at Canon City, during
the week to be set by the judge.
The day and the hour of the eXecu-
tion will he fixed by the warden Of
the prison.
The execution must be ordered To
take place within not less than 90
day-' from the date of conviction and
not more than one hundred and
twenty days.
Probably during the month of Jan
uary 1907, upon the scaffoId in the
state Prison, John McGarvcy will
eNpiate for the murder of Edward In
mes.
There was no question as to the
guilt of the accused with the jury, but
undermining the sentence several
I jurors voted on first ballot for a life
sentence but finally all agreed on the
death penalty.
