Fridays Severe Storm.

On Friday evening last we had
as severe an electric storm as the
valley has seen in many years.
The afternoon was cloudy and
threatening until about five
O'Clock when II developed into a
slight rain accompanied by vivid
flashes OF lightning, a number of
which took effect, some produc-
ing considerable damage. One
struck Charley divers house,
ripping off quantity OF shingles
and solitting up partitions and
castings as well as breaking con-
siderable glass. Very fortunately
no one was hurt, though all sus-
tained a great fright.
Another bolt struck team be-
longing to A. ]. Hadley killing
both. Ed Simmons was just un-
hitching them to 60 to the house
and had bent down to pick up
the lines when the bolt came.
He was prostrated by the shock,
his shoe was ripped off and his
pant leg shredded by the current
but seems to have escaped any
permanent injury. The team was
valuable one OF fine young
horses and their untimely death
is severe loss to Mr.. Hadley
Harry Elder and Bert Gaine
were riding their burro into town
about the same time when a bolt
struck the telephone or electric
light wires over them. The burro
was knocked down and young
Elder says he was unconscious
for a moment. He complained
of feeling stiff for couple of
days thereafter. Probably a part
of the same streak of lightning
went into c. c. Hawkins house
and burned out his electric light
fuses. No other damage was
done him. Lightning generally
confines itself to the hills around
town and is very rarely in evi-
dene down here. Most of our
people would be willing to have
it stay there always.
We are very lucky not to have
to report a death or two as a re-
suit of this storm.

STARTLES STATE BY CONFESSION.
Admits Taking and Giving Bribes and
Accuses Most of his Associates.

J. Gethro, who was expelled from
the house of representative
Thursday for attempted bribery
of his fellow members, in the de-
feat of the bucket shop bill. to
night over his own signature made
a most remarkable statement. He
gives full information of the cor
ruption long suspected to exist
IN the Massachusetts legislature;
confesses that he gave and took
bribes, and condemns all but a
handful of the legislators OF this
year as being as guilty as he
many of them more so. He gives
no names in his statement, but
these he furnished to District At
torney Moran yesterday, when
he turned states evidence against
his accusers Moran will lay the
matter before the July grand jury,
and has said of the evidence in
his possession that the conviction
of large batch of legislators is
certain.
Gethros statement in part fol-
lows:
The people of Massachusetts,

weeks about the viciousness of
bribery when the bribery is de-
tected The duty of calling the
attention of the people of Massa-
chusetts to more culpable wrongs

THE NATURITA COUNTRY.
Paonia People are Interested in the Pro-
iect now Opening up a Splendid
Fruit Country.

Last weeks Montrose Enter
prise contains the following men
ton of the work undertaken by a
syndicate of Paonia men who
have learned by experience that
the west is a fruitful place in
which to launch big enterprises.
This editor is acquainted with the
country TO some extent and feels
that the Enterprise is quite con-
servative in its statements:
A party of about fifteen Paonia
people were over to the Naturita
Country this week lnvest,g atlng
the merits OF the Lillyland Canal
and Reservoir Cos lands on Ma
turita Creek. The mesa is to be
watered by a reservoir which will
conserve the waters from Lone
Gone. The party is unanimous
in saying that the water rights are
first class and ample to water the
10000 acres of land under II, and
that the lands are OF the finest
for fruits, grains and vegetables
The land is a fine, red soil, COW
cred with sage brush. and not a
rock on it. The soil is we'll cal
culated for orchard culture. and
the climate is superb for the raIs-
ing of fruit. The party has for
its individual members purchased
$60, 900 worth of water rights and
taken up three or four thousand
acres of land. The land is located
few miles northwest of Coven-
try, in Montrose county, and the
building of this reservoir will
make OF the mesa lands a fine
fruit and farming section. Among
those who went over were Messr,.
Nelson. Cowgirl, Marshall, Akley,
Johnston, McFadden, Mason,
Mason Jr, and Headley,-Mont-
rose Enterprise.
Like many other beautiful spots
in the mountains the Naturita
country has lain dormant for
years solely on account of mac
feasibility. A few of the more
class moved in
and have made beautiful homes
far removed from the railroad,
but now when choice lands are
becoming scarce the advantage of
launching big irrigation enter
priscS and settling up these lands
is apparent to all. The country
has been demonstrated to be an
ideal one tor fruit and with the
completion of the Lilylands Ca
nal and Reservoir the entire pla-
teau will a become densely popu-
lated and wondcrously produc-
tive orchard.
The supply of water is ample
and all that is required to have
it in volume for useful purposes
is to conserve it. Timber there
is in plenty and close at hand.
There is very little rock to con-
tend with and the land is other
wise easily cleared. Water for
purposes is of excellent
quality and obtained at reason
able depth and with absolute GER
tainty when wells are sunk. The

at was not as a matter of
choice, therefore that | was
driven to decide that unless |, too,
were willing to sell my vote |
would remain a cipher in the
house, without standing an
power for myself and without in
fuence for my constituents. And
| was a Democrat, a member of
that party whose power before
the dominant Republican major
ity was a chip in a waterfall
Scarcely A measure came be
fore the house but with it came
money offers for my vote from
representatives. So common was
the practice, so unreserved the
negotiations, so certain the re-
suits, that when the Logan anti
bucket shop bill was put on the
counter the question was-and |
admit 1t now in shame, my query
was among the chorus-not
whether the bill was good law or
bad; not whom the bill would
hurt or whom it would help, but
how much there was in it.
Il consulted with those inter
ested and | determined to try to
get for myself the contract to
buy large block of votes against
the bill.

votes, got the contract and
bought the votes. In negotiating
for certain votes which | knew

sures was refused because, |
was given to understand, | did
not offer the full price.
To force me to raise the offer
some of those who refused me
began to talk. The matter got
to the grand jury, and l was in
dicted.
The Republican leaders told
me that if / would not divulge
the names of those who had ac-
cepted or agreed to accept my
offers for their votes, | would be
freed. ! stood firm and was freed.
Then the investigating committee
was appointed. | was told again
that if stood firm the committee
would see me through unharmed.
Again stood firm. This was my
fatal error. Reflection shows me
that my only just and proper
course should have been to com
ply in the beginning with the
district attorneys demands for
the facts.
Faithful to my promise to the
leaders, refused $4,000 in cash

ton which now give of my own
