swIFrER THAN THE BULLET.

1t appears that about three weeks
ago a saloonkeeper gave James Supple.
colored, money with which to buy
meat for his family. Supple bought the
nest but had it charged to the Saloon
keeper. Officer Henderson at that time
captured the dsrkey but at the corner
of Royal and King street he got away
from the officer. The same officer
caught him last night at a saloon in
the northeastern section Of the city and
grabbed him, but the negro broke away
the second time. The officer fred two
shots at the fleeing prisoner with no
effect. The pitol shots attracted quite
a crowd in the neighborhood. His
name is Supple and he is a supple negro.

in an alteration over the hanging
of a door in Mr.. Peterson's new
house, recently, and the feeling
becoming too full for utterance,
Mr.. Hutchins pasted his employer
one under the eye with a piece of
scantling, cutting deep cash.
This attack upset Mr.. Peterson's
natural poise, and he waded into
his opponent with all fours, and
for a time, SO claim the bystand-
ers, the fight was fought with all
the earnestness that can be expect
ed of the Battling Nelson-Abe
Attel contest. AT the finish Mr.
Peterson went before the chief
magistrate. related his story and
dug up ten dollars for his fun. In
the mean time Hutchins had ur-
gent business at his ranch which
lies outside the towns limits, and
he hied himself thither trusting
that the healing powers of time
would lull into forgetfulness his
late escapade. But in this he
'reckoned without his host" for
upon his appearance into town
he was grasped by the iron hand
of the law and now twenty and
more of his hard-earned dollars
are resting peacefully beside those
of Mr.. Peterson's in the public
Golfers of Sanford. Thus it is
that donero for the towns expen-
diture is gradually coming in from
those who can afford little lux
ury now and then.

THE sPuD TRAIN ALTA JARA.

The spud train hailing from the
State Agricultural College and
making the different towns of the
valley, arrived here yesterday, and
remained couple of hours
giving potato lectures to our ranch
men. On the train were Profess
sors H. Nj. Cottrell, w. H. Olin
and Grubbs, the principal speak
ers. The prominent line of thought
brought forth was on the selection
of the potato. The advice was
given to the farmer that he plant
one kind of potato and that one
to be chosen in reference to eli
mate and soil In this way uni
formity in size can be obtained.
The medium-sized, smooth potato
was strongly advocated instead of
the large Murphy. Different
kinds of potato machinery were
exhibited, together with model
cellar for storage.
Because of the busy season
with our farmers, there was not
the large attendance that would
have otherwise been present, yet a
rough estimate would give about
one hundred and fifty people.
Along the western slope 3,640
persons listened to these discours-
es and many questions were asked.
All along the route great enthus-
iasm was manifested and at La
Jara the visitors were welcomed
by the local band which rendered
its choicest selections.
Through the courtesy of the
Denver d Rio Grande railroad
company the party had use of the
train gratis.
