MANY DEFENDANTS IN
POLICE COURT TODAY
Several Disturbances and Violations
Of the Law Occurred on
New Years Day.

When Police Magistrate C. B. Hill
opened court this morning he found
four defendants arraigned at the bar.
Joe Eckert, tailor who has been
repeatedly arraigned in court, was
up again to answer charge of drunk
enness. He was arrested by officer
Toupaine. He plead guilty and was
assessed the usual fine and costs. He
made partial payment.
Grover Faulkner was arraigned on
the charge of being drunk and dis
orderly last night at the Novelty the
ater. Officer Patterson made the ar
rest. He was fined $40 and costs.
but sentence was suspended during
good behavior. Faulkner told the
court that he was only 90 years of
age. When asked where he got his
liquor If he was under age, he re-
piled. "Oh, anywhere. They never
ask me about my age" The young
man looks older than he really is.
He could easily pass as man OF
more than 81 years.
r. Hollenbeck, arrested by Chief
O'Neil, was charged with violating
the bicycle ordinance. As the de-
fendant had Just moved to the city
| a few days ago and was not aware OF
the ordinance prohibiting the riding
| of bicycles on the sidewalks. and in
view of other mitigating circumstan-
ces, Judge Hill suspended sentence
Luther Kinney, aged FL years, n
laborer, was arraigned on the charge
of disturbing the peace and using
boisterous and profane language on
the streets. He plead guilty and was
fined S5 and costs. 1t seems that
last evening Kinney, while drinking
pretty heavily, approached J. y.
Platt and opened quarrel with the
latter over some matter of difference
between the two men. Kinney's IA
ther, it is said, also participated in
the quarrel The trouble occurred
on Main street between Fourth and
Fifth. In return for a shower OF
abuse. Platt struck Kinney and
knocked him down. Kinney got up
and attacked Platt and struck him
terrific blow. The men were separ-
ated, and Chief O'Neil was soon on
the scene and placed the two kinneys
under arrest. Mr.. Platt had left the
scene of the trouble with some OF MS
friends. When 1t was ascertained
that only the younger Kinney had
actually engaged in the personal diff
ficulty. no charge was lodged against
the elder Kinney. Platt appeared IN
police court today, entered a plea OF
guilty and was assessed fine OF 20
and costs, which he paid.

GLEE CLUB ENTERTAINED
GOOD SIZED AUDIENCE


One of the best entertainments of
its kind ever given in the city was
offered last night at the Park opera
house by the Colorado College GIee
and Mandolin Club. The program
was strong, worthy and refreshing
throughout and there were many
features happily different from the
usual run of glee and mandolin club
features.
The glee club is made up of strong
well trained and harmonious voices.
The mandolin club is composed of
musicians of talent.
Ralph Rice, a well known Grand
Junction boy and son of Mr.. and
Mrs. P. A. Rice. is member of each
of the clubs. and the young man was
recognized and heartily cheered by
the audience last night. Mr.. Rice is
a violinist of exceptional ability.
The organization has a reader and
impersonator of brilliant ability, and
his selections were among the strong
est features of the evening.
The audience, which was of good
size and most representative. thor
oughly enjoyed the entertainment.
Tonight the young men will ap-
pear at Palisade and tomorrow night
they end their most successful and
satisfactory tour with an engage
ment at Leadville.
