On next Thursday evening, at the

an ordinance. now being prepared by
Attorney Greer, will be presented
This ordinance will provide for
special election to be held at an
early date for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether or not the citizens
of Grand Junction are desirous and
willing for the city council TO pro-

The citizens will not be called up

They will be asked to give their eX-

show that they desire the council

Montrdse. Colo, Sept. 20.-The
truth of the matter regarding the
second contract made by the entry
men on the lands under the Red
lands ditch is that It was allowed to
be copied into the land office record
to enable the upper land office to de-
termine whether it should have been
admitted at all, and for no other pur-
pose.
There is no evidence being admit
ted of any kind concerning the sec
ond contract of the entrymen. No
questions upon that contract are al
lowed to be asked by counsel for
either side. 1t has practically re-
ceived mo consideration whatever be-
fore Receiver Blair.
The evidence of Messrs. Boyer.
Hughes and Keiser shows that the
entries for the lands were made un-
der an agreement to convey 800 out
OF 500 acres of land to the company.
Keiser testified that he would not
sign any contract whatever. because
1t did not conform to the verbal
agreement that he had beer told of
by those who were inducing him to
become an entryman. He was told
ny -. L. olOutt vi lne OnlOH trust
& Banking company, that the verbal
agreement would go. but that a writ
ten contract was necessary as a
blind, since the verbal contract was
contrary to the United States land
laws.
When A. ]. McCune was testify
ing, he upon cross examination by
Attorney Logan. admitted that he
had informed his two sisters. who
had filed, that the water would cost
most of the land.
The evidence of Mrs. Kirk estab-
lished the fact that she was simply
going as per instructions of those
who were the Interested parties.
Edward A. Sherman was the first
witness yesterday. The testimony
of this gentleman was to prove that
conspiracy existed to deprive the
original entrymen by the first con-
tract with the Redlands people, of
the lands by filing upon these lands.
He said that Messrs. f. l.. Green
and Guy Boyer approached him sew
eral times and outlined the scheme
of contest. That scheme was that
120 acres was to be set apart for

to pay a pro rata share OF expense
and get a share of the land. He
agreed to this (Which he has denied
time and time again), and he stated
further that he went so far as to
seek Mr.. Kelley, the agent OF the
land department of the national gov
ernment. at the request OF Messrs
Green and Boyer to tell Mr.. Kelley
that 1t was time to take the lid on
and expose the scheme against the
RedlDnds people. He did not find
Kelley at the LaCourt hotel, where
he had been sent to find him. and
thereafter he said he had nothing to
do with the matter. The day that
he wanted to make the expose of the
matter was the day that The SEN
tinel had the interview with Mr.. Kel-
ley and published the story IL; full.
Just one lap ahead OF the other pa
per.
The testimony OF Mr.. Sherman
convinced those who heard It that
he would have published the story
of the Redlands deal, as 1t had been
published by The Sentinel. only that
his paper had been too slow in the
that his paper had been awfully
scooped. he played possum and
made the Redlands people believe
that he had nothing whatever to do
with the matter.

though not denying the contract.
From an entirely legal stand
point there can hardly be a posslbil-
| ity of the admission OF the second
contract by the general land ONCE
( or that the other or first contract
can stand examination as to its le-
gality in any court of the govern
ment, where the matters OF public
