intended to kill Tomsky last Satur-,

by Tomsky to leave in peace on the
agreement that Tomsky appear IN

Monday He declared he would then
kill the Judge first and follow with
the attorney. Otherwise he would run
the risk. Tomsky successfully argued
of missing the Judge entirely through

Tomsky. sparring for time, observed
that Judge Trout. the author or the

the court two days later. Koch re-
piled that he would accept the sug-
gestion. If the agreement was put IN

Tomsky told District Attorney Lang

THRIPS DRIVEN FROM
ORCHARDS OF THE STATE
Campaign in Prune and Pear
Sections Ends

The campaign which was waged
against thrips, the pest that destroyed
pear orchards in Contra Costa county
and prune acreages in Santa Clara
county, has been brought to success
full completion.
The work was done under the super
vision of the federal government and
the state board of trade. Orchards which
were almost ruined by the pest have
been brought back to full bearing.
In order to acquaint all fruitmen with
the proper method of combating the
danger the state board of trade has
prepared pamphlet on the subject
for distribution. 1t may be had upon

The committee on credentials of the
republican convention. DIR. J. A.
Haderle chairman, met last night at
the home of Doctor Haderle, 62S Hayes
street, to prepare the roll of dele
gates. There was only one contest,
that filed by Bert Kahn in the thirty
seventh district, and it was decided in
Kahn's favor. The official returns for
the thirty seventh indicated that Kahn
had been defeated on the Sullivan tick
ct and that three. delegates, Albert
Voyce Jr., Charles A. Hibby and Tim
Sheehan, were entitled to third of
a vote each. The official count of the
ballots showed that an error had been
made in the returns and that Kahn
had received 2S votes which had not
been counted. Registrar Zemansky
informed the committee on credentials
that Kahn was entitled to the seat in
the convention and they will SO report
tonight Otherwise the roll of dele
gates will remain as returned to the
convention when it erected temporary
organization.

PERMANENT ORGANIZATION.

The committee on permanent or
Eanization and order of business will
meet again this afternoon TO struggle
with that portion of its report dealing
with the makeup OF the new county
conHnittee.
The showdown will probably be
forced between the Sullivan proposition

since both the Sullivan and the
Lynch followings are opposed to a
plan which might give the independ-
ents control of the new committee the
chances are that any scheme to per-
NIT the chairman TO appoint county
committeeman will be rejected.
Copies of both resolutions have been
sent to the chairmen of all district
delegations with the request that they
signify their preferences before 3
o'clock this afternoon. The letter OF

abide by the majority preference, but

Train Kills Horses.

Last Sunday morning the freight
train on the North Fork branch of the
d. &. X. G., ran a bunch of NJ. T.
fuckers horses on the bridge up by
his ranch and killed six of them.
Mr.. Tucker is Delta's ice packer and
among the horses killed were his fine
teams used on his delivery wagons
We understand that for one of these
spans he had been offered and refused
$500. The horses killed were of at
least $1,000 value and comprised about
all he owned.
A trouble complained of by Others
having stock killed is that the railroad
company takes its own time in settling
claims, and tries to pay just as little
as possible-a small part of the value.
The track has no cattle guards and
stock which happens to get on the
right of way is very liable to be caught
in just such dangerous. places.

Apple Gropers are Enthusiastic

Almost without exception the apple
growers of Colorado are more than
enthusiastic over the idea of having an
apple show IN this state this year.
Clinton Oliver, Secretary of The Colo
RADIO State Horticultural Society. has
sent out a circular letter to the princi-
pal growers and shippers asking list
of questions for the purpose of getting
basis from which to work. The
replies to these circulars have come in
promptly in almost every case and they
all Indicate that the apple growers are
ready to contribute their assistance
toward making it a great affair.
While some few people favor makiug
the show state affair the vast major
ity are for Midwest or National
show..as they believe that Colorado
grows the finest apples in the world.
1t is true that even the people of
Colorado do not know the possibilities
of their own state in the production
of fruit and little education along
this line will be very valuable. Then
as an educational proposition it will be
unsurpassed. The growers Of Colorado
need great deal of assistance in grad
ing and packing and there is only one
quick way to bring this education and
that is by competitive exhibition
Colorado must not be behind the rest
of the country in this sort of work and
while the advertisement to our fruit
lands would be something to consider
the prime object of the show would not
be for that purpose.
II the show is attempted lit will be a
success because Colorado growers will
work to make it cast an important
affair.

Pioneer Judge Dies at Boulder.

Judge v. G Holiday, pioneer citizen
lawyer and jurist, died suddenly al
Boulder on Tuesday of last week at the
age of &c He was recovering from ar
attack of grippe. was stricken with
heart failure as he rose from the din
ing room table and expired at once.
Judge Holiday filled many Offices OF
public trust in different parts of the
state. He leaves wife and five chill
dren. Or these three sons and mar
ried daughter live in Park county.
Another daughter is the wife of Prof.
John Bell, of Denver. His Oldest son,
Arthur V. Holiday, late county Clerk
of Park county, is married to daugh-
ter of the editor of this paper. All
children were present at the funeral,
which was conducted by the G. A. X. 4,
he having been veteran of the civil
war.
Commenting upon Judge Holiday s
life and demise, the Denver Republican
said:
"A lawyer by profession, he seldom
considered what price his services were
to bring, but always he thought of do
ing a real service to his client and TO
justice.
AS district attorney of the Eleventh
Judicial district, he had more than one
opportunity of acquiring a competence
by restoring to graft, but rejected
them. AS county judge of Park coun-
ty, his judicial harness and absolute
integrity commended him to every cit
zen.
In Boulder c,unty, his record as a
public man was highly honorable.
lie served two terms as justice of
the peace and won the nomination for
county judge last fall against several
younger opponents.
AS a politician Judge Holiday WAS
of the old school. He believed not in
boss or subserviency of any kind, but
in truth, honor, upright living, char
acter and on this platform he shaped
his chances-most of the time success
fully. He voted for Abe Lincoln and
every Republican nominee for presi-
dent since He believed in Republican
principles and after he went down with
the Republicans in defeat in the last
county election, like other Republicans,
he prepared to hammer the enemy at
the first opportunity. when the taps"

George Young shot and killed "the
