the plaintiffs lawyers. said to-day
that the gentlemen backing the suit
believed that the discharge OF these
men from the service OF the United
States in the absence OF any decis-
ion by any court-martial or civil
court. that any one Of their number
participated in the disturbance az
Brownsville "was wholly unmstif-
able and violated the rights assured
to these men by both the Constitu-
tion and laws of the United States. "
The gentlemen who have author
ICED the suit" the lawyers say, be
lieve the question involved is of the
greatest Importance not only TO those
members OF the three companies OF
the Twenty-fifth Infantry who were
dismissed from the service by this
order, but TO every enlisted man in
the army.
Congress under it's constitutional
power TO make rules for the govern
ment and regulation of the land and
naval forces, has enacted the Articles
of War. Under these articles the
right Of every enlisted man TO a
hearing upon any charge which may
be preferred against him is fully
established. and no power is given TO
discharge a man, except In accor-
dance with the judgment of a court
martial.

"They do not believe that these

diers summarily dismissed from the
service of the United States without
a hearing. upon the assumption that
certain meIsbers have been guilty OF

destruction of private property. II
any members were guilty of such

mined and punishment administered
by the courts, but It is the guilty
who should suffer, and not the in

them was refused. A representative
of the firm said that they had re-
quested that their names be with

Death of Judge Summer.

George T. Sumner of Denver and Al
amosa, former district judge and one
of the most prominent attorneys in
Colorado, died suddenly on the morn
ing of the 14th inst of angina pectoris,
while on a sleeping car east OF Jules
burg. being on his way home with Mrs.
Sumner, after visit to their daugh-
ter. Miss Helen Sumner, at Madison,
Wisconsin.
Judge Sumner came to Colorado in
1880 and settled in Durango His abil-
ity soon won him the office of dis
trict attorney for the sixth district, and
when Judge c. ID. Hayt retired from
the bench, Judge Sumner succeeded
him. After six years of judicial SER
vice, Judge Sumner retired to his pri-
vate practice again and also took up
the legal work of the Rio Grande rail-
road in that part of the state. He
has been occupied in that work ever
since, dividing his time between Den.

SURVEYORS AT WORK LOCATING

REPORT THAT WORK WILL BE
PUSHED ON THE v. p. LINE
FROM PLATTEvlLLE.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Greeley Friday night says: The Bur
lington Interurban Railway Company
has completed its surveys from Hudson
to a point few miles east of Greeley
and began surveys today across the
farms of Thomas Foley and l.. b.
Werkheiser. ten miles southeast OF
here in the Delta district. When this
work is completed the survey will be
finished from Hudson to Greeley. The
opinion prevails here that the Burling-
ton company will be the first to enter
the Greeley district.
j. Fletcher. who has charge of the
office of the Burlington company here.
today said it is the aim of the company
to complete its line from Hudson to
Greeley in time to handle the crops
this fall. The surveys are for direct
line from Hudson to Greeley, cover less
than twenty-seven miles and the line
into Denver is only thirty-one miles.
The cost of the Burlington lnterur-
ban line to Greeley will be compara-
lively low because of the level charac-
ter of country through which the road
will run. 1t will carry passengers as
well as freight and be provided with
the most modern equipment.
Railroad men here were much inter-
ested in report, said to be authentic,
that Fitzpatrick Bros. & Collins, who
are finishing the Borie cutoff on the
Union Pacific have been ordered to take
their men and teams to Platteville and
begin work ON the Union Pacific line
which will run from Platteville to the
coal mines of western Weld county and
continue northwestward.

BITTER ROT OF APPLES.
Proper Spraying with Bordeaux Mix
ture viii Save Crop.

AS the result of experiments con-
Quoted by the Illinois station, the fol-
lowing conclusions have been reached
regarding bitter rot of apples and Its
treatment:
Bordeaux mixture properly made
and applied will save over 80 per cent
OF the fruit liable to attack by bitter
rot.
Fruit sprayed in such manner as
to be thoroughly coated with the
spray mixture when the first infec-
'tion of the disease appears will be in
jured least by bitter rot.
Spraying until the fruit Is complete.
ly coated with the mixture as soon
as the first infection of bitter rot is
discovered is Of considerable value but
is much less effective than the treat
ment mentioned above.
Spraying until the fruit is complete
ly coated with the mixture after bit
ter rot has become thoroughly estab
lished is effective in controlling as
much as 80 per cent of the disease
during some seasons. In other season
its effect as remedy is very slight.
Bordeaux mixture applied in the
liquid form is the most effective spray
ing material for the control OF apple
bitter rot
Pure copper sulphate solution failed
to check the disease and caused in
jury to the foliage.
To coat fruit thoroughly with the
mixture 1t is necessary to make at
least three applications of the spray
material.
Applications of 25 pounds of salt to
the ground about tree have no value
in checking the disease.-W. Paddock.

consistency. When cooked tender,
break the caulifower into clusters, put
layer into baking dish, sprinkle

garnish of hard-boled egg in the fol
lowing manner: Boil four eggs hard,
separate the yolks and whites. Rub
the yolks to cream with bit of but

nutmeg. Add some finely minced ham
or chicken, and form the mass into
little balls. When the gratin is baked,
set the dish in a paper gratin holder,
and garnish with the tiny egg balls,

freely. The right kind of shears are
a great help and with them much of
the work can be done easier and
quicker than with any other tool, but
few Of those found in the hardware
stores are worth much. Most of them
with only one cutting blade which
works against shoulder, will spring
apart after little use and they bruise
the wood more or less
The double-cut shears with both
blades alike, while high-priced are by
far the best thing on the market as
they cut close and do not bruise the
wood. The handles are of wood and
can be had from rs to 80 inches long
For knife, the common large pruning
knife with a hooked blade is all right.

Extra Preserves for Dessert.

Now that preserving time is on hand
one can have most delightful change
of dessert. When putting up fruit one
is apt to have pint or SO of juice
left. To one pint of juice thicken with
two tablespoonfuls of cornstarch, add
the whites of two eggs beaten to a
froth; velvet sauce may be made of
cup and half of milk and the yolks
of two eggs; just let come to boil,
flavor with vanilla. The juice of two
lemons or oranges TO pint of water
sweetened to taste is also good.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

The American plums are great
bearers.
Blackberries should be heavily fer
tilizAl or they will not do their best.
Plums must be protected from the
curculio If they are to give satisfac-
ton.
There is little satisfaction in trying
to grow garden on poor soil not
properly enriched.
Every farmer that has few fruit
trees only should learn the science of
protecting them by spraying.
An apple grower says that there Is
never an over-supply of good apples.
The over-supply is of poor fruit.

PRUNING.
To Do Successful Work You Need

D One trouble with the novice in
pruning is that he may not have a
clear idea of what he wishes to ac-

Is headed too low and SO chops OF the
main limbs and ruins it. or, the top is
too thick and proceeds to trim up the
limbs. leaving tuft Of branches at
the ends. destroying the fruiting spurs
and leaving what fruit does grow In

OF heavy winds. Better to have no
pruning at all than such work as this.
The tools needed are a saw, shears,
knife. stepladder and occasionally a
long ladder. The saw should be the

can be followed where any tree is
liable to be blown about by the wind.
Wrap several thicknesses of. burlap

Rapid Growing Pear Trees.

The more rapidly pear tree grows,
the more likely is it to be attacked
by blight. The reason seems to be
that the texture of the bark is so open
that the spores Of the blight can get
an entrance with the threadlike
sprouts that are too fine to be seen by
the unaided eye.
