MEN 60 FREE;
COMPLAINT
FAULTY
Judge Shackleford Sustains a Motion
of Defense and the Locally Fa-
nous False Registration Cas-
es are Dismissed Today.
MEN IN JAIL FOR MANY MONTHS

There was an echo of the bitter
municipal fight carried on in this
city last spring in the Mesa county
district court this morning, when the
first of the three false registration
cases. passed up last spring from
justice of the peace court to the dis
trict court for final consideration.
was called for trial.
Naturally, however, as the bitter
feelings and tense excitement that
prevailed last spring have subsidized
to a large extent, the hearing in the
district court today was largely free
from the bitterness and sensational
cross-firing between the attorneys
that characterized the preliminary
trials in the spring.
James Cooley and his two COM
panions. charged with illegally reg
istering to vote at the last spring
election, have been in Jail since their
arrest late last March, or over seven
months. 1t was charged that these
men swore to falsehoods as to the
length of their residence in this city
and as to other qualifications neces-
sary to make them voters.
The three defendants We're to be
tried separately. although the evi.
dence in each case is largely the
same.
Attorneys +. Barnard Welsh and
r. Hickman Walker represented the
three defendants. Mr.. Welsh de-
Tended several of the men charged
with false registration in the pre-
liminary hearings in March and
April. Deputy District Attorney Nc
Clintock conducted the prosecutions
in the. preliminary hearings last
spring of these and other men, and
therefore he lead in the prosecution
today.
The first of the cases called was
that of James Cooley. A jury was
selected without a great deal of trou
BILE Two jurors We're excused for
cause: four were challenged by the
defense and three by the prosecu
tion. The jury was completed at 10
am.
The witnesses for the prosecution
were to be County Clerk Starr, IN
dersheriff Wallis and Police Judge
Hill.
Immediately after the prosecution
had called County Clerk Starr, the
first witness, to the stand, the de-
Tense entered an objection, and the
court listened to the objection.
The defense declared that objec-
tion was made to the Introduction
of any evidence by the prosecution,
on the grounds that the information
under which the man is charged with
a crime, is faulty and defective; that
it does not set forth the nature OF
the offense. or indicate what statute
ne has violated. Other reasons for
the objections We're detailed. The
defense then cited numerous authori-
ties, including several Colorado cases,
to sustain its contentious. There
were extended arguments on each
side. and finally Judge Shackleford
announced that he would take the
matter under advisement until l

No CARS HERE
AND DELAY
SERIOUS
Roads Fail to Keep Promises to Have
Associations Supplied During the
Apple Season With All Cars
Needed.-Danger of Loss.
RELIEF MUST COME VERY SOON

There are today twenty-five car
loads of apples on the platforms OF
the Grand junction Fruit Growers
association and not a car in the yards
TO receive any of this fruit.
There are many carloads of apples
stored today in the orchards and
packing houses of the growers of the
valley awaiting orders from the as
sociation to be delivered at the asso-
citation.
The Grand Junction Fruit Grow
ers' association, and every other fruit
association in western COLORADO, finds
itself today facing a serious car short
age.
And thus the railroads fail to keep
their Oft-repeated promises and dec
larations that the valley and the
western slope would not suffer from
a lack OF cars this year as IL has done
almost every year just at the heighth
OF the apple shipping season.
Manager John +. Moore. of the,
Grand junction Fruit Growers asso-
citation, stated this morning that BY
agreeing to accept cars of any kind
| the association managed to get to-
gether enough to send out eleven carr
| last night from the various poiipeS
pht ph touHi EdSHN
have been sent out had there been
cars sufficient to handle the apples
Had there been no shortage of cars
this week the association could easily
have sent out at least 75 cars more
than il did send out this week, the
total shipments for the week mum
bering about 100 cars.
The growers have been instructor
to make no further deliveries al the
association buildings until notified
owing to the fact that already the.
platforms are swamped with apples.
As result apples are being stored
by growers in their orchards, packing
houses, etc, and consequently thou
sands of boxes of apples are out i'm
the open in the orchards and should
there come heavy storm very heavy
damage would result.
As story from Delta published on
another page indicates, this car short
age is widespread and is seriously
handicapping all of the fruit sections
of the state.
Manager John F. Moore has been
in communication with the highest
railway officials for the past 4S hours
and is most insistent in his demands
for cars, as he should be. II is up to
the railroads to keep their oft-repeat-
