Did Not Go to Roadhouse

Mrs. Gould said she met Farnum at
Castle Gould in the fall of 1906. This
happened when a conveyance in which
she was riding collided with a truck
somewhere between New York and
Jamaica. She declared she did not go
to a roadhouse with Farnum after
that collision, but after visiting Castle
Gould they stopped at a roadhouse
on the Vanderbilt cup course and had
some refreshments brought out, but
did not enter the house.
Mrs. Gould, said she could not recall
whether she had anything to drink.
With Farnum, Mrs. Gould said. she re-
turned to the St. Regis hotel about IL
o'clock that night, and Farnum accom-
panied her to her apartments for a
few minutes and then went to his own
rooms.
Mrs. Gould said that she saw Farnum
in Washington October 20, and that she
afterward visited the Blue Gap farm

cerning his efforts to secure an am
davit from Miss Frances Hitchings, a
school teacher. to whom he represented
himself as Mr.. Lee The afidavit
was in connection with the efforts of
the defense to prevent the return of
Helms to the city as a witness for the
prosecution, or to discredit his testi-
mony by affidavits to the effect that he
had tried to secure $4,000 from the
defense.
Excuse for Using Name
Maroney admitted that he had dis
cussed the affidavit matter with Miss
Hitchings, but said that he had. not
| been instructed by either Ford or
Moore to represent to her that 1t was
a prosecution scheme.
In answer to question by Stanley
Moore, Maroney made a lame explana-
tion of why he had travelled under the
name of Mr.. Lee and why he had
introduced himself to Miss Hitchings
in an informal manner.
Maroney was the last witness and
Heney then asked for a ruling regard
ing the introduction of testimony to
prove that Rnef was notoriously cor
rupt- When the court announced an
adverse decision the prosecutor stated
that the prosecution rested.
Stanley Moore then announced that
the defense also rested, and made the
suggestion of submitting the case
without argument, which was charac-
terized by Heney as having been made
for its effect on the jurymen.

In striking contrast to this glitter
of luxurious articles was Mrs. Goulds
testimony that at times at Castle Gould
she was actually without provisions.

Need Not Tell Age
After Mrs. Gould had told what she
had taken from Castle Gould to the
Lynchburg farm NicolI asked the wit
ness her age, but the court excused
her from answering that or from tell
ing where she was born Before her
marriage Mrs. Gould said she was

name of her stepfather.

McKinney,s Directory.

The canvass for the new directory
of Delta county is progressing very sat
isfac, orily. While there is yet great
deal of work to do, everything is being
done in systematic manner and thus
no time is lost. 1t is big job to take
the names of all the grown people in a
county like this where the population is
estimated at from fifteen to twenty
thousand people. Most of these people
must be seen personally to secure cor
rect information, that is to get the first
name and middle initial right, and to
get the correct spelling of the last
name also the occupation or business.
Mr. McKinney's county directories
are the only ones published in Colorado
which are sold at the low price of three
dollars. Some county directories are
sold at four dollars but most of them
at five dollars. He has put this low
price on his book to secure the widest
possible circulation.

225, 900 Fish Next Year.

Superintendent Thompson O f h e
Leadville Hatchers has sent the follow
ing statement to R. w. Gipe, who had
charge of the work of taking the spawn
at the lakes this fall:
Total number of ounces received,
1274.
Ounces picked off, 236.
Number of ounces good eggs, 1038
Total number of coed eggs. 373. 1876
''It seems probable that we will be
able to hatch and rear to the age of
distribution enough fry to make the
maximum number we spoke of namely
225, 900, though of course when eggs
are handled roughly enough to make
as heavy pick off as shown in the
first shipment, there is probability
that some of the germs are injured suf-
ficiently to die during incubation or the
absorption stage.
We spoke of 100, 600 to be returned
to the lake and 100, 900 to 125, 900 to be
planted in the public waters in the
county,
These fish can all be retained in this
section if the necessary money is raised
to defray the expense of doing the
work. About $75 has been paid by
local people, little more is promised
while there yet remains about S65 to be
paid. These trout will be big thing
for the people here, but will do US
little good if shipped to other parts of
the county. The price paid for these
trout is very small as good part of
the expense and trouble falls upon the
hatchery as they do the Matching and
return them to US. We want these
trout, but are we going to get them?

GIANT PASCAL CELERY DUG IN DECEMBER.
tant point when one considers how
much it might mean to the grower to
have his crop delayed few days in
reaching the market and how serious
~ he might injure his soil by harvest
ing while the land is too wet. While
this applies to any method of growing
celery, 1t is especially true when the
celery Is blanched by banking with soil.
Celery is transplanted to the field
during the summer months. when it
Is very hot and the soil usually dry.
1t is therefore necessary to water the
plants as they are set out. but even
though they are watered freely some
of the plants will die if the weather
remains dry and hot many days after
the plants are transplanted.
When the plants are thinned in the
seed bed those removed may be set
In two and one-half inch paper pots
and, after shading for few days,
treated in the same way as the plants
IN the seed bed. They will probably
require more frequent watering unless
they are plunged half their depth in
SOIL
The tops Of the plants in the seed
bed and also those in pots should be
clipped back to about half their length
three weeks before transplanting to
the field and watered sparingly the
last week before transplanting. An
hour before the plants are removed
from the beds they should be watered
freely, and those In paper pots may
then be set in the field without further
watering. The pots will be partially
decayed and need not be removed
from around the plants when set in
the field. Plants treated as described
above will hardly be checked in their
growth by transplanting.
In order to guard against carrying
disease from the plant bed to the
field the plants should be thoroughly
sprayed with bordeaux mixture a few
