However, the Good Citizenship
League. the AntiSaloon League and
the Ministerial Alliance had Fry's
official record first hand and also
knew how their efforts to make GER
tain prosecutions had Jared at his
hands.
John II. Fry is without the support
of these organizations. In today's
Church News, the official organ of
great majority of the churches of
Grand Junction and Mesa county
there appears this editorial:
MIR. FEY.
The Anti-Saloon League committee
on candidates has had difficult task
ON its hands, but that task has not
been rendered more arduous by the
candidacy of MIR. Fry for the office
of district attorney. From the begin
ming the five members of the commit
tee were satisfied that no one who
hoped for law enforcement could
support him and as the investigation
proceeded the stronger became that
conviction. His nomination was made
against the protest of the Good Citiz-
enship League as "a reward for party
scrvices,-and against the better

failed to keep their promises and al
lowed the cases to 1rift toward dis
missal. 1t is declarel that the three
witnesses for the prosecution in these
cases have been in Denver all the
time and in easy reach of the district
attorneys office and have been ready
to come at all times had they been
assured their expenses would be paid
as is customary but this the district
attorneys office would not agree to
do and as the district attorneys Of
flee had broken faith with the law
enforcement people about the eX-
penses of the witnesses when the
trials were first called and the law
enforcement people put up several
hundred dollars for expenses to, as
the Church News says, bring wit
nesses here to go through farce

expense the second time.
After reviewing the cases and the
peculiar actions of Selis and Fry the
Church News comments in part:
There seems to be no help for this
sort of thing as long as people elect
this kind of officials. There seems
to be no law preventing the district
attorney from acting as counsel S,r

UP
AND ROBBED

Last night, J. F. Smith, well
known fireman on the Rio Grande,
was held up and robbed of consider
able cash and other valuables by two
unknown men, just as he was leav-
ing the yards at Minturn.
Smith climbed down out of the
cab few minutes before time for
the train to pull out to look for an
engineer whom he wished to see. As
he turned to leave the engine he
found himself facing two large guns.
He threw up his hands as demanded,
and the men went through his clothes
getting about $50 in cash, bank
book and his union card.
As it was very dark, he was unable
TO gain any description OF the men,
but he thought that they were men of
more than usual size and that they
were Americans.
Chief of Police O'Neil was notified
at once upon the trains arrival in
this city and he is working on the
case.
