The biggest bill which the world
mas ever known or is likely to know
Is one held by a New York woman
against the English government.
Compared to its incredible total the
national debt becomes but n drop in
the bucket, and all the wealth of the
richest man IN the world would nor
pay the interest on it for n week It's
total as set forth in the latest account
ing and demand for payment is ss3.-
7S9. 400 .62s. 100. 600 900. O0o. 900 or more
than ninety-three septillions of Ameri-
can money. To pay it would ruin
Great Britain. and I'm fact if il should
be paid the whole British empire
would become the private property of
Miss Eustaphieve. the claimant. who
could then without missing II present
the British Isle to Father Knicker-
booker as a playground. As a matter
Of fact there is not money enough in
the whole world 10 settle this obli-
CATION. and il therefore has very
slim chance OF being paid Most Of
the amount is interest on the claim
which is an inherited one and dates
back nearly seven hundred wears.
During the hundred year war between
england and France the Italian bank
ing house Of the Peruzzi. from whom
the present holder of the claim is de-
cended. firar"ed the campaigns of
King Edward III. For the money

scented TO the British government
every ten years. and it is largely the
interest which has been piIing UP en-
"rm"usly during seven centuries
which now gives the account it's nm
beiievabl" total. CuriousIy enough
the bill has never been repudiated IL
has simply been neglected" But

POTTER ON TRIAL
Some CirCumStdRtnl Evidence Is
Against priSOner---COnf1It of
Testimony

The case of the People VS.. Alvin
Potter charged with complicity in
train robbery on the Grande three
years ago, came up for trial before
Judge Shumate of the district court on
Tuesday Defendant was arraigned
on three counts to all of which he
pleaded not guilty. A motion to
quash the proceedings against the pris.
ouer was made by his attorney, John
l.. Noonan. who had been appointed
by the court The motion was de-
MED and the work of selecting jury
to hear the case began.
Thirty six jurors in the first venire
were exhausted and eighteen more
were summoned, sixteen OF which
We're dawn before tho jury was finally
secured. On Thusrday the train crew
were sworn for the prosecution and
verified the fact that the train had
been held up. Nothing connecting
Potter with the robbery was proven by
them
Wednesday afternoon after several
witnesses had testified, A. j. J.Saunders.
a prominent cattleman of Mesa
county, swore that he saw three horses
in a grove of quaking aspen, that he
thought belonged in the Bear River
country. He rode over and examined
closely the three horses and dog
which was with them. This was
about June 3 Potter rode one Of the
horses. Shortly after the robbery.
which took place three or four days
later, he again saw the same three
horses and the dog, which the Iesti-
mony showed had been used by the
hold ups.
James Buzzard of Ceda1egde swore
that Potter had Dragged to him about
being in the hold-up and had gone
into detail about the blowing up of
the safe and a killing in the hills
after the affair.
AL Hinchman and wife testified to
the same effect. - -'.''-'-
The defense took a hand Thursday
|-morning; Potter was sworn and
claimed he was in Glenwood at the
time of the Iobhery. Mike Lavine
and Charles Morton gave as evidence
that Potter had repaired a clock for
them on that date and Frank Estes
swore that he was on hunting trip
with the prisoner on Jnly 8. the day
after the robbery.
Others who had seen the robbers at
Parachute the day before the train
was stopped and William Grigor. who
saw the ROBBERS in the Bear creek
hills afterwa1d, we're confident that
Potter was not the man.
