THE TWO BOYS
IN TROUBLE
Two BrOthes, Drunk, Have
Fight with R.B.G Gillespie
and Are Arrested.

Curtis Shamblin, and his brother
Grover, sons OF q. c. Shamblin, paint
ers, OF this town, were brought here
and lodged in jail last Saturday even
ing by order OF Magistrate Jno. II.
Barnes from Liberty Hill, in the West
end OF the county.
AS to the details OF the affair, reports
are conflicting, as usual. The best we
can obtain are about as follows: Mr..
Shamblin and his sons were at work
beyond Liberty Hill several miles
when the mail carrier, young james
Meadley. came along leading two
horses. Two OF the boys were given
permission to ride the horses to town.
The boys had gotten some liquor
somewhere and by the time they had
reached Liberty Hill, they were, or one
OF them, pretty drunk and boisterous
Young Meadley rode into Mr. Reese
Glilespies, who is the mail contractor,
to feed his horse and get his dinner
before coming to town. The Shamblin
boys went in also, and in the yard one
OF them was attacked by "a dog, which
he Kicked and abused. When Mr..
Gillespie protested, Shamblin struck
him, and reports say, struck Mrs. Gil
lespie when she came out and inter
ferred to protect her husband, who was
down. Shamblin denies striking Mrs.
Gillespie, or If he did, that IT was
intentional. He says he did not mean
to do it. There are conflicting state
ments. The boys were arrested and
tried, as above stated, and Messrs r..
f. Bundy and Joe Hagy we're ordered
to bring them 10 jail as stated. Mr..
Shamblin. the father OF the young men,
says that when the trial comes up and
all the facts are brought out different
face will be put on the affair.
Another warning and another serious
lesson viii the lessons OF the past
week be needed?

slrable home in Delta. In making choice
between Montrose and Delta for place

influenced by our municipal mountain
water supply, which is undoubtedly the
best in the state. Please score one
more victory for the pure and sparkling

High School Deltonian.

The "Deltonian. issued by the class
of '07, is a creditable piece of work and
is an exposition of our school which
would go long way toward convincing
eastern people that in educational mat
ters Delta is at the front. Quite a
supply of these books are yet on hand
and citizens OF Delta could not do a
better thing for the town for the same
amount of money expended than to send
the Deltonian to eastern friends. The
graduating class has been to heavy
expense and every book sold is assist
ance to them. If you have not secured
one or more copies Of the Deltonian do
SO at once. The books are on sale at

to go ahead with arrangements for a
celebration. A special train will prob
ably be arranged for to Paonia and a
large crowd will no doubt go to Surface

The accompanying figure illustrates
crown gall as found upon the roots of

placed behind each of the gals to bring
them into prominence in the picture.
Although called CROWN gall, it will
be seen that only the larger one on the
right grew at the crown, the other oc-
curing upon a small root deep in the
ground. This is frequently the case,
and is one of the most deceptive feat
ures of the disease. While it attacks
several kinds of fruit, in Delta county
1t is more commonly found upon peach
disease which is so serious in irrigated
regions causes very little trouble in the
eastern states. For this reason eastern
nurserymen have made but little en-
deavor to eradicate the disease from
their nurseries, and it has been dissem-
inated freely in every direction. Most
OF these nurseries have been slow to
comprehend that the right exclusion of
this pest from Colorado by our inspec
ton laws has been neceSsitated by its
greater destructiveness under our con-
dltions. Knowing this, every orchard
ISt ought to be his own horticultural in

much easier to detect before planting
than later on. Its symptoms in the
