mo? Well, guess I'll have to put
you wise. 1t is easy to see you don't
draw your pay on Saturday,
though. That is a sure thing"
"There were five Saturdays in Feb
ruary, and the shortest month in the
year with five Saturdays is a rarity.
You see, it can only happen in a
leap year, and only on every seventh
leap year at that, for the 1st must
be the first Saturday and the 29th
the fifth Saturday. We don't have
another February with five Satur-
days in it until 1886, or % years
hence.
''You might think the same thing
would follow looking backward, and
ordinarily it would, but we missed
leap year in 1900, you know, and
that brought February coming in on
Saturday just four leap years SOON
er. 1t has. therefore, been twelve
years since We had five Saturdays in

lions of Prosecution.-Court Room
Crowded-Ladies Attended

At $3.50 am. today Gail G. Muir
ray, one of the four Grand Junction
saloon men charged with violating
the midnight closing ordinance of
the city on the night of September
25, fair week of last year. was ar
raigned for trial in the district court.
1t was decided to try the defend
ants separately. Consequently, the
four cases will probably require at
least two days of the courts time.
The greater part of the time required
for each case will pe consumed by
the work of selecting a jury. The
evidence in none of the four cases
will require much time.
Selecting the Jury.
Mr.. Murray, the owner of the
Ranch saloon, was defended by At
torney Samuel N. Wheeler. About
two hours were required in select
ing a jury, and each side exhausted
all of its challenges before a jury
was finally selected. Only one Grand
Junction man is on the jury-T. S.
Ramey. The other eleven men re-
side in the country and nearly all of
them are ranchmen. Both sides
seemed to be fairly well pleased with
the jury.
The defense used every effort to-
prevent men WHO are DitJuuiCtu
against the saloons from getting on
the jury, while the prosecution OBJ
jected to the presence of men who
are known to be very friendly toward
the saloons.
Rev. Becker on Stand.
Rev. James A. Becker. pastor o
the Congregational church and one
of the leaders in the reform move
ment, was the first witness intro
duced by the prosecution. Rev.
Becker told of visiting the Ranch sa-
loon on the night of September %.
1907, or rather on the morning of
and l o'clock. He was accompanied
by Prof. o. w. Young. Rev. Beck
er testified that the bartender was at
work. There were number of men
in the saloon, and he saw several
men served with drinks. He was in
the saloon only n very few minutes.
Rev. Becker was put under a Sc
we're cross examination by Attorney
Wheeler, being asked if ne had any
particular business visiting the sa-
loon. and what was his purpose in
visiting the saloon. Rev. Becker He-

All employees of the mechanical de-

turned back the agreement.
A few days ago notices were post
ed in the shops that the S-hour day
