Scores of private property owners
were out this morning, cleaning up
back yards, alleys. vacant lots. etc,
and, as a result. great amount of
unsightly refuse has disappeared.
Yards. lots. streets and alleys are
looking fine this afternoon. Only
now and then has a residential abode
been noticed where no effort was
made to clean up the premises. 1t
seems that nearly everybody was anx-
ious TO assist in the work to give
Grand Junction a spring cleaning.
If there is to be any criticism made
il might be made concerning the
areas and alleyways in the rear of
the business houses along Main
street At noon very little effort had
been made by the property owners
to clean up these premises.
The garbage wagons have been
very busy all day, hauling off the ref
use that the town cleaners had ac-
cumulated from yards. lots. etc.
The Clean-up day movement has
proven very successful and those
who have pushed the proposition are
well satisfied with the results OBJ
tanned.
Grand Junction is ordinarily city
far cleaner and far more attractive
than the average city of 200 i'll
habitants. Still there was consider
able room for Improvement.

The testimony of the children before the coroner's jury was. in sub- stance. that Davis had said the night before that he would return next morning to kill Cox and that when he did return said he had come to finish settling with Cox; that they warned him not to come in the yard and insisted that he go away; that he continued to ad- vance toward the house, and that their father fired with the result as above stated This is CoxS side of the story as we have been able to gather from the evidence before the corners jury. Davis lips are sealed and the purpose of his visit to his father-in-law' home that fateful morning will nev- CT be known. but in justice to the deceased it must be said that he evidently meant to do Cox no harm This conclusion naturally follows the fact that he was to- tally unarmed Davis was known to possess good nerve and his friends claim that if he had wanted 10 kill Cox he would never have left his gun 250 yards away and gone to meet Cox with no weapon what ever with which to infliet injury.

 The killing is a doubly sad oe- curreHee II doesn't end with the death of Will Davis and the broken hearts of his parents and other relatives The life of his devoted wife. who is now prostra- ted with grief. is forever blighted. which brings gloom to the home of her loved ones. and Cox himself will regret the deed as long as he lives. even though he may have thought he was justified in doing It. Both sides are prominent families and highly respected citizens. Gale Cox is about 60 years of age and has resided in this county for long time He owns a good farm on War Eagle and has always been considered a lawabiding and pro- gressive citizen Will Davis was 31 years of age and had principal ly been raised here. He was an industrious. honorable young man and counted his friends by the score Though he had his faults, as we all have, he was kind heart ed and generous. He was a true friend. a loving son and brother and an affectionate husband.

The following additional partie- ulars concerning the killing are from the last issue of the Hunts vile Democrat:
 Davis was son=in-law Of Cox and he and his wife reside. with Wallace McQuqry also a son-in= law Of Cox. and family on the Logan farm. only short distance from Cox s At various times dur ing the past few years there have arisen disagreements between Da- wis and Cox but the immediate cause of this fatal trouble was the settlement Of a debt due Davis by Charley Cox, son of Gale. Davis himself had become considerably involved financially and in order to meet his own obligations which were being pressed for collection, ne had asked that Charley make him note with his father as Sc curity Davis went 10 his father in-laws house the evening before the killing 10 insist that he tCaie Cox) sign the note A quarrel be- tween the two ensued and Cox claims that Davis threatened that he would return next morning and Kill him Early Tuesday morning Davis left his house to go down in a nearby field and drive up his horses. as he had been doins ey- cry n0rnine for some time, and took with him his shotgun. stat ing that ..e might be able to Kill a aaaii for his wife. who was just conyalescing from severe spell of fever He rode a horse which had been kept in the barn, This was the last seen of Davis alive by his wife. by his mother. who was visiting him, and by McQuerry and wife.
