gardening. It was only natural that
they should be upon terms OF init
macy, particularly as Mr.. Miner was
able to talk the Italian language. No
better witness for the prosecution has

In some localities the freeze seems
Eto have been more disastrous than
Il was In others and some of the best
informed people in the community
are OF the opinion that the visitation
was especially calamitous In certain
parts OF the community. in other
words. that the frost was sufficient to
kill vegetation only in those sections
where conditions were extremely IA
vorable to that end.
1t is asserted, on the other hand.
by those who have familiariZed them
selves with fruit growing in Colorado
that the blossoms OF apple and cher
ry, trees will not survive a tempera-
ture of 20 degrees and that there can
be but little hope OF even SO much as
quarter OF an average yield this year.
II Is stated that the frost was not
as disastrous at Florence as 1t was
here and that in some localities in
the western part OF the county its ef-
fects we're not perceptible. Men who
have Nved here twenty years say that
they never experienced a total failure
Of their apple crop until twelve
months ago and that many times dur
|irg that period frosts came after the
middle OF April rs heavy as the one Of
Saturday Atsht Las year the people
o. the Grand valley on the western
slope thought all of the fruit was
killed by the frost, but there were
many dormant, undeveloped buds on
the trees that were uninjured, which
later came out and ripened into fruit
age.

may be similar to that OF the people

Pears seem to have stood the freeze
better than apples and there will un-
questionably be more or less home
grown fruit Of that kind this summer.
E. F. Jewett, one the most successful

The injury to the fruit crop by the
fresss OF Saturday night was un-
doabeedly very serious, bot It is con-
ssdsd that the extent Of the damage
cannot be accurately determined for
several days yet. ..---.-.r-~e.--.
The consensus Of opinion Ii that the
apple crop il almost wholly destroyed.
although experienced men are found
who express the belief that many Of
the buds are yet alive and that there
will probably be one-fourth OF an av-
erage yield. provided there is no frost

The most pessimiBtic view OF the
situation prevailed among the orchar-

kinds was killed. A few OF the more
hopeful. and sanguine disposition were
disposed to look at the picture from

confessed that there was little avail

roseate view OF the matter. the only
thing that inspired hope being the

assemblages and presage an over
whelming triumph for the party tick
ct in Colorado next November. The
members of both the Canon City and
the South Canon delegates were great
lily pleased with the good feeling mani
tested on all sides and the confidence
with which the party enters upon the
campaign.
There was the usual contention over
matters pertaining to organization
among the delegates, but it was all
preliminary to the convention which
was characterized by the utmost con-
cord aud assurance OF SUCCESS. :.
The selection of Clyde C. Dawson of
this city to be a delegate from the
second congressional district to-the
national convention in Chicago was
a deserved tribute to worthy man
and a recognition of his stalwart Re-
publicanism. The choice of Mr.. Daw-
son was particularly pleasing to the
members of the Fremont county dele
cation, who worked hard that the
honor might come to him.

Here is; the program that was en-
Enthusiastically adopted by the assem-
bled delegates:
The Republican party of Colorado
in convention assembled congratulates
itself and the people of the state upon
the splendid condition of its organ
ization. which is the natural and legi-
innate outgrowth of the great princi-
Piles upon which the party itself is
founded.
We heartily commend and indorse
our present Republican state admin
istration. The Republican majority
in the Sixteenth general assembly en-
acted into laws the most important
pledges in the platform Of our party.
Under the splendid leadership of Gov
ernor Henry A Buchtel. and with the
hearty and united support Of the other
state officials. honest and successful
endeavors have been made to carry
these salutary measures into effect.
We are proud to record the fact that
all Republican state officials have ably
and faithfully performed the duties
of their respective offices. The whole
administration reflects credit upon our
party and honor to our state.

Florence and it was to his house that
Mrs. Joe Minchiello went on the 7th
of January, the next day after the dis
appearance of her husband.
She had not been there very long
until Bavari came to visit her and
Eexpress his concern for the safety Of
Joe Minchiello, whom he had murder
ed the night bofore.
|. The defendant told Mrs. Minchiello.
to the testimony of Tony
Sayant, that he believed her husband
had gone to Pueblo and he offered to
telephone down there and find out, If
POSSIBLE, whether he was in that city
w not.
Mrs -Sisero, a Mexican woman.
whom Bavan had employed to wash
his clothing the day after the dis
appearance OF Joe Minchiello, testi-
Med that there was blood stains on
both sleeves OF his shirt and trousers.
but, Of course, did not know how they
got there.
Mrs Sisero is able to talk only the
Spanish language and her evidence
was interpreted into the English
tpague for the benefit of the jury by
Joe Sanchez of this city.
Bavari explained the presence Of
blood on his garments to the Mexican
woman in three ways. He first said
that it was caused by a scratch on
one Of his hands. Later he told her
that it came from nose bleed, but, ap-
parently, was not satisfied with either
of them for he wound up by telling
her that it was the result of killing
q hog.
i City Marshal Furniss Of Florence,
who. in his official capacity, has been
very closely identified with the case.
vas on the witness stand when court
adjourned for the noon recess and was
recalled to finish his story after din
ner.
4 II was Mr.. Furniss who arrested Ba-
vari and locked him up in the Flor
lence Jail. He related the circum-
stances attending the arrest of the
prisoner and gave a detailed account
Of the search that was made for the
bodies of his victims. Bavari. accord
ing to Mr. Furniss, did not want to
be taken into custody and made a
show of resistance, but when the Of
ncer drew his gun he quieted down.
He had large knife In his hand. with
which hes had been cutting cabba8es.
H&Sn Mr.. Furniss went up to him and
he brandished it as If to make an at
tack upon the officer when a sight
of the latter's revolver caused him to
be less hostile in his demonstrations.
On going into the house he grabbed up
another knife with which to assail his
captor, but was compelled to lay 1t
down at the point of the officers gun.
Several other witnesses are to be
called by the prosecution, among them
Frank Sandesko, the detective, who
went into Bavari's cell and obtained
his confession, and Sam Frebrezzio,
deputy sheriff of Pueblo county, who
also masqueraded as a detective by
representing himself as the Italian
consul
They are the star witnesses for the
state and the story they have to re-
late is no doubt, an extremely inter
esting one.
