look fine and if care is taken we will
be eating home grown fruit in
couple years. Several parties have re-
ceived tn Surprise plum, the Compass
cherry, and some the mere hardy va
riety of apples. All these trees are
warranted to raise one bushel of
fruit or the nursery will replace the
trees without further charge, which
shows their confidence in the stock,
and if the purchasers do their part in
the watering and cultivation usual to
the painstaking gardener, there will
be fruit to eat and fruit to sell.

Dear Editor Herald
Since I have become your correspon-
dent, | rather think I will like it;
there will be no attempt at fine writ
ing; I will not attempt to tell how to
treat disease; no soaring in the
clouds; spin no new theories; will shy
clear of optimism, for have heard that
optimist sis a person who shuts his
eyes to all else and goes galloping to
II with his teeth gritted," neither
will we wish to be pessimists as we
know the pessimist only sets around
the corner grocery whiting, with his
eye on the already half filled box of
Strawberries, now and then lifting one
to see how they taste; and we will not
make a business of correcting defor-
mites or physical defects, intellect
ual, moral ignorant Or otherwise.
mention these things as a prelude to
this observation, that I would sooner
stand in the minds of the gentle read

HAYWOOD THE CHIEFTAIN

There was never a change of color
in his ruddy face as these stories Of
murder fell from his lips. Not even
the tale of the killing of Lyte Gregory,
the drunken deputy sheriff whom he
followed about the streets of Denver
in the night and shot him in the back,
brought a CULVER to his voice or a
droop to his eyes. Never man like
this sat in the witness chair before.
Through all the story ran the names
of the men for whom he worked and
those who helped him in his wretched
tasks. Haywood was the master. 1t
was he who gave most Of the orders.
Pettibone, too, gave directions, fur
nished money and once started out as
IL to help, but made excuse and turned
back. That was in the Gregory murder
Haywood was the source of the
money. Even what Pettibone orders
gave him came from Haywood. Moyer
he named occasionally, but not too
often. Meyer knew of some OF the
crimes, for he talked to Orchard about
them and Joined in Haywood's decIara-
tion that this or that was "a fine job
but Haywood wss the master. with
