CURE FOR GOAT DYSPEPSIA.

The first thing a goat does after he
gets aboard is TO fill himself up with
red paint, with little white lead for
dessert. The result is the total dis
rupton of his digestion, and soon
what had been a fat, frolicsoIhe little
kid becomes a morose, lean. and dys-
peptc old goat Loads of schemes
have been tried by the boys to de
stroy Williams appetite for paint, but
they never hit It once till we did.
What did we do? Well, seein' as it's
you. I'll let you in on the secret.
When Buckeye was transferred to
us from the Chicago of the Pacific
feet, just before we leaves for Manila
two years ago, we puts before him a
bowl of red paint But there was
something in the mixture besides
paint. We had poured half glass of
pure ammonia into the paint.
The minute the goat saw that
paint he went crazy with joy. With
one bound, he was on it. Without
waiting to inspect the mixture he
stuck his nose into it, and then some
thin happened. That goat began to
sneeze. For three hours he kept it
up. and he never forgot the dose that
caused it. From that day to this he
has never tasted paint Ammonia
cured him, and that's why he's the
only healthy goat in the navy"

The biggest society or assiciateion
of its kind ever organized in Western
Colorado was partially organized in
Grand Junction today when the pre-
liminary plans were made and the
working committees named, for the
formation of the Mesa County Iowan
association, to be composed of all
former residents of Iowa who desire
n membership in the same.
A meeting was held by a large
number of prominent former Iowans
this afternoon and the preliminary
steps were taken. 1t was the unani-
nous opinion that such an association
would not only keep up a friendliness
and fraternal intercourse between
all people who left their homes in
Iowa to become residents of this west
ern Colorado country bu t would send
forth many other elevating benefits
and helpful influences.
At this meeting a committee was
appointed to represent each district
of Mesa county in a meeting to be
held on next Tuesday afternoon at
which time the permanent organiza
ton will be perfected and officers will
be elected.
When it is taken into consideration
that more than 1000 former Iowa
people reside in Grand Junction and
Mesa county the importance of the
and the probable strength
of the association can best be realiz-
ed. There are more peoplee from Iiwa
in the valley of the Grand than there
are people from any other three stat
es in the union.

For a long time the organization
of such a society has been contemplau-
ed but until today has the movement
assumed definite shape.
The first big event planned for the
membership of the association is
picnic to be given in the near future
phobablv in this city and this gather
ing and entertainment will be notable
for many happy features.
The association will not be a Grand
Junction affair but a Mesa county
affair with all former Iowans in west
ern Colorado privileged to enjoy
many of the pleasures.
The committees appointed at the
meeting this afternoon to meet next
Tuesday are as follows:

THE GIRL WIFE
is NOT GUILTY

Mrs. johnson declared that the girl
stole the dress from her last week al
though practically admitting that she
had given the girl permission to wear
the dress on more than one occasion.
She said that she paid $50 for the
dress and bought it from the firm of
Lyons and Son which has been out of
business for over year. Mrs. John
son testified that Mrs. Gillispie had
been helping her at her home but was
not employed on salary.
The prosecution introduced several
other witnesses who testified to see
ing the girl with the dress.
The young girl testified that she
had no intention whatever of stealing
the dress, that Mrs. Johnson let her
as her clothes were at her auntie's
and that she fully intended to return
the dress to the owner as soon as
she could secure her own dresses, but
before she could do so Mrs. John
son had her arrested.
The prosecution failed to prove
that the girl intended to steal the
dress.
Only few witnesses were examin-
ed on each side and the attorneys
spoke briefly.
The case went to the jury at three
O'Clock and in a few minutes a YER
diet of Not Guilty" was returned.
Such a verdict was generally expect
ed by all who had heard the evidence.
This morning Mt ten o'clock in the
county court, before Judge Sullivan
Mrs. Zoa Gillispie, nee Miss Zoa Com
ley, was arraigned for trial under
the new Juvenile delinquency act,
charged with petty larceny, il be-
ing charged by Mrs. Rose johnson. of
this city, that the girl wife of Gillis-
pie stole a dress from her few days
ago.
Mrs. Gillispie who is only sixteen
years of age. occupied seat beside
her attorney. Mr.. William Weiser
She entered plea of not guilty to
the charge.
Deputy District Attorney Fry was
in charge of the prosecution.
Considerable time was secured in
securing jury of twelve men but by
noon the jury had been finally accept.
ed by both sides.
There were quite a number of wit.
nesses and large number of spec.
tators watched the progress of the
trial, there being twenty or more
women in attendance.
After all the evidence had been in.
troduced many of the spectators re.
marked that there appeared to be
very little merit in the case. 1t was
decidedly weak all the way through
and it is to be regretted that the
county must stand the expense of sev.
eral hundred dollars for such trial.
