and, after being sworn. began her
story in manner the most quiet and
calm. A deep stiffness reigned through
the vast room, and every one in it
caught her lowest word.
Her testimony was entirely clear
and Straightforward. She related the
circumstances of her being dragged
off, while coming out of the playhouse
at Scarborough; of finding herself
along in the chaise with Giles Vernon,
who told her he was taking her to
Scotland to marry her; that she strug
gled violently ard endeavored to get
out of the chaise, and that she was
withheld by force by Giles, who
severely hurt her wrists, causing blood
to flow; and finally, that when she be-
gan to scream, Giles put his hand over
her mouth and stified her cries. She
said that this conduct was kept up the
whole of the night. until they reached
Gretna Green at daylight; that all the
time Giles was imploring her to marry
him, then threatening to kill himself
or her; and that she told him many
times she preferred death to marriage
with him; and at last, on reaching
Gretna Green, she defied him and es-
capped from him.
When she had concluded there was
an ominous stiffness for time, and
then l saw something which struck
chill to my heart. l had stealthily kept
my eyes fixed on the judges to see
whether they gave in their counten-
ances any signs of lenity or severity.
They were altogether unmoved, eX
cept one, who was reported to be a
most merciful man. He grew pale and
paler as Lady Arabella's story pro-
gressed, and | saw him several times
wipe the cold sweat from his brow,
and at last sigh broke from him;
but l think no one noted it but me, for
the multitude of people were absorbed
in the sight OF this beautiful young
woman, so coolly swearing away the
life OF a man who had loved her.
Giles Vernon bore the ordeal un-
finchingly. and when at intervals she
looked toward him with quiet hatred
in her glance, he gazed steadily back
at her.
She was then to be cross-examined.
Many questions were asked her by the
great London barrister, who was one
of the three defending Giles. One
query was, whether she had ever given

Great Boulder Canon Dam.

Boulder-Arrangem are being
completed by the Commercial Associ-
alton for an excursion to Nederland
and the Barker Meadows dam of the
Eastern Colorado Power Company.
A special train will leave Boulder
about Sis a. m. July 9th and will
run through to Nederland, where
lunch will be served, after which the
visitors will be taken to the dam over
the track of the power company.
The construction of the dam is now
well under way, about twenty-five feet
of the 1S6 being in place. The type is
cyclopean concrete and is about 300
feet wide at the bottom and 1,200 at
the top, being built between the solid
walls of Boulder canon. The construc-
ton equipment is one of the largest
in the country, and about 600 cubic
feet of concrete is being placed on the
dam daily.
The reservoir will hold over half a
billion cubic feet of water, the filling
of which will commence in September
and will be completed with the flood
waters of next year.

Mr.. Vernon reason to think she would
marry him, to which she replied:
No; never in my life"
She was then asked if there was an
other gentleman in the case, and for
the first time she showed confusion.
Her face grew crimson, and she re-
mained silent. The question was not
pressed, and she was soon permitted to
retire. When she passed out of the hall
she was the divinest picture of beauty
and modesty | ever saw. Her eyes
sought the floor, and a delicious blush
mantled her cheek. | believe that
many persons, under the spell of her
beauty, thought that she was an un-
willing witness. and pitied her youth
and inexperience.
But it was hanging testimony she
gave, and well she knew it,
After the examination of the post

REPORT TED COMBINATION OF
GREAT NORTHERN COLORADO
POWER PROJECTS.
DENVER TRAMWAY DEAL
EXPECTED TO SUPPLY ELEC.
TRIcITY TO TRAMWAY AND
OTHER LARGE USERS.

Denver.-A Greeley special to tn.
Denver Republican Monday says: One
of the greatest combination enter
prises ever proposed in northern
Colorado will be carried out by the
Greeley Poudre Irrigation Company,
which will use its big storage system
not only for irrigation but for furnish
ing power for the Denver Tramway
and other big works in the northern
part of the state. For some time it
has been known that the Greeley Pou-
DIRE irrigation district was to have an
additional supply of water. 1t is said
that this supply is to come from res
ervoirs near the head of the Poudre
by the use of old priority ditch rights
not used for years. A big reservoir
site to be filled in this way, located on
Stove prairie. and purchased from Will
liam G. Evans, has been taken over
and Incorporated with the system and
it is understood that Mr.. Evans is now
a member of the Greeley Poudre Com
pany and that he is especially interest
ed in the power proposition to be de-
lists left today to inspect the proposed
reservoir and tunnel Of the enterprise.
ID. A. Camfield, president of the COM
pany, said that matters are nearly
completed for letting a 81 900 900 con-
tract.
In Denver, say the Republican. it
was learned that plans for a great
combination of reservoir and water
rights in the northern part of the state
is in process of completion. 1t will in
clude the Cache la Poudre irrigation
project, in which w. G. Evans OF the
1ramway Company has control. and
the Greeley Poudre Irrigation Com
pany, also the big irrigation district
now under way and perhaps one or
two ditch companies, the whole to
form combination power and irriga-
ton undertaking of magnitude. 1t was
stated definitely that the proposed
merger was outside both the Central
Power Company and the Northern
Power Company.
Last March, George B. McFadden,
civil engineer of this city representing
the Evans interests, filed reservoir
project with the state engineer lnVolV-
ing the expenditure of over $10,000.000
in the building of reservoirs and add
ing to the capacity of those already
built and in the construction of many
miles of canals and laterals for irri-
eating tracts of land in Weld, Larimer
and several small counties to the east.
The Roosevelt reservoir was to be
enlarged with a dam 400 feet high.
From this the water would be piped to
the junction of the Elkhorn and
dropped to the power works below.
The water, having served its purpose.
would be run to the Stove Prairie res
ervoir to be used for irrigating pur
poses. All three reservoirs are in
cluded in the proposition for enlarge
ment

There are, as stated above, six pack

stock yards with a capacity to handle
three times the quantity that is slaugh-
cred here at the present time, and
Colorado packers are ready to enlarge
their plants and increase their capac-
ity for supplying the demand as rapid
ly as necessity requires, and Colorado
people are the market channel that
they depend on for distribution to
maintain and increase the prosperity
OF the packing house industry in our
home state.
The purchase of food products de-
pend largely upon the lady of the
house, and her cooperation is earnest
ly solicited in aiding the Colorado
Manufacturers Association in their
campaign for greater loyalty to Colo
RADIO made goods.
Another matter for consideration.
There is annually shipped into Colo
rado 100000 pounds or 500 carloads
of packing house products. Think
what 1t would mean if our Colorado in
stitutions could have this amount add
ed to their output. AS stated before,
an increase in the production necessi-
tates corresponding increase in num-
ber of employees. which adds to the
payrolls for distribution at home
The quality of hogs slaughtered in
Colorado is equal II not superior to
any slaughtered in the United States.
Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska being
our source of supply. the pigs are
raised CT alfalfa and fattened on corn,
giving fine grain to the meat. The
meat Is more firm and better grade
than that Of hogs raised further east.
The same is true of western fed beef.
In fact. Colorado produces the equal
in grades of beef. veal, pork and NUT
ton Of any country in the world.
The question of cattle feeding is also
one that will have to be taken up by
the live stock men and farmers of this
section.
