cious refreshments were served and
rounded out an event of more than or
dinary enjoyment.
Previous to the beginning of the
mornings program visitors to the
convention were taken for ride over
the Skyline drive, an incident Of their
stay here that they greatly enjoyed.
Several of them expressed the opinion
that the view from that point of van
tage was one of the most beautiful in
the United States. certainly the most
attractive in Colorado. Lieutenant
Governor Harper, who was on the
program for an address at yesterdays
session of the convention did not get
here until last night and. made talk
this morning. He spoke of the mar
velous agricultural possibilities OF
Colorado and recounted the strides
that are being made in that Ike Of In
dustry in this state. He advocated
thoroughness in every field of endea-
vor and told local fruit growers that
their ambition should be quality. rath-
er than quantity.
That the convention will be benef-
cial to the fruit growers Of the Canon
City district in the encouragement OF
Asfter and more scientific horti-
culture goes without saying. The pa
pers and addresses were all interest

stream than in the spring at the rear
of the house. from which the family
obtained its supply for ordinary pur-

stones into the current that they made
their gruesome discovery.

The Gienwood Springs correspond
spt Of the Denver Times sends his pa
per the following story OF Joseph c.
Taylor, whose body was found in the
Arkansas river at Coaldale last sun
day afternoon:
"Possessed OF immense wealth. hut
too miseriy to spend few paltry pen
p,es for railroad fare. Joseph c Tay-
lor a year ago rode the rods" when
he went TO Kansas on n visit to rela-
tives. was attacked by tramps en- route
and beaten so badly as to derange his
mind. in which state he wandered
from home last October and was
drowned In the Arkansas river. The
discovery OF the body in the Arkansas
river near Canon City a few days ago
clears up a mystery which has baffled
ne authorities OF Garfield county for
months.
Taylor was go years old and had
lived In this vicinity for 25 years. He
owned one OF the best ranches on Gar
f,eld creek and had the largest cattle
herd in the district He also was
known TO possess considerable cash.
Since he dropped from sight, the
report has gained circulation that
from 500, 900 to S50o.000 in gold Ia
buried in tin cans about the ranch.
Now that Tayiors death Ia established
II II probable that his heirs will put
q force at work In an effort TO dig mp
the hidden treasure.
'sIeiEhbors have informed the police
of numerous instances when they saw
the man in his field. after dark, dig
ging. and II Ia believed that he was
hiding his money. When the report
frst gained circulation scores OF per-
sons went to the scene for the purpose
Of trying to unearth the gold. but
were driven OF by those In charge Of
the place.
Recently Taylor's heirs came into
the county court with petition that
Taylor be declared legally dead. They
wanted to settle up the estate. but
because OF lack OF sufficient proof the
Judge refused to act. Now that his
body has been recovered II 10 thought
that the property will either BE- dis
posed Of or equally divided between
the several heirs.

NEW KILLING MACHINE.
Pneumatic Javelin that Will Give
Fifty Thrusts a Minute.

The American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
will experiment in a few days
with a new method for killing an,
imals. Henry Bergh, treasurer
and former president of the soci-
ETY., has invented the method. 1t
is an air gun of large size, working
like a pneumatic hammer. The
instrument in appearance resem-
bles a firemans hose and nozzle
and is handled like a hose. Instead
OF a stream of water the javelin is
thrust out fifty or more times a
minute with force enough to
pierce a one-inch oak plank. Mr..
Bergh has been at work on his
invention Tor several years. The
society some time ago offered
reward of $500 for an improved
humane method for slaughtering
purposes, and although Mr.. Bergh
will not claim any reward, he
thinks his invention answers the
needs and purposes of the society
for slaughtering.
