Talked Celebration of Fourth of July
in Connection With Raccs-Wili-
ing to Give Equipment OF
Island Grove to Fair
Association

The members of the Greeley Div
ing club held their annual meeting
Friday night and elected officers TOT
the coming year. BY unanimous
vote is was decided that all the oI0
officers should hold over untlI sueh
tine as there was sutf cient dsSur-
ance that the county sair pioj'lt
would be a reality. II thdt comes
10 mass the two organizations eouli
be united. the fair association would
have the use of $4,000 worth OF
equipment now owned by the drlN-
ing association. provided the site Sc
lected should adjoin Island GrAN"
park. AS yet no site has been Sc
lected and none will be until eVer%
subscriber is heard from ana votes
on the proposition.
The driving club is thinking about
getting up an exhibition Tor the
fourth of July. with some large at
traction in connection with races.
The idea which seems TO be most III
favor is to procure flying machine
10 give an exhibition here. This
would cost considerable, but would
be the best drawing card ever
brought to this section OF the coun-
try. several firms are now making
machines and it may be possible 10
get one of the demonstrators here
by that time. The proceeds couId
be used either for the county tar
or for a gigantic harness meeting
in September provided the fair should
not be a go.

fer with the Northern Colorado Rae

ACQUITTED OF
MURDER CHARGE
Mrs. Erb and Sister Freed
by Jury at Media, Pa.
PATHETIC SCENE IN COURT

Defendants Fall Into Each Others
Arms When Verdict Is Announced
and Later Thank Each Member of
the Jury in Words Broken by Sobs.
Eighteen Hours Spent in Reaching
an Agreement in the Case.
Media, Pa, Jan. Mrs. M. Flor
ence Erb, wife of Captain J. Clayton
Erb, who was we'll known in political
circles all over Pennsylvania, and her
sister, Mrs. Catherine Beisel, who
were charged with the sensational
murder of Captain Erb on the night
of Oct. 6, 1908, walked from the Della
ware county courthouse free women.
After the jury had been out nearly
eighteen hours it brought in verdict
of not guilty in the case of each wo-
man, both of whom had been charged
separately and jointly with shooting
the captain. Thus ends a trial that
has held the interest of the people of
the state for more than a week, dur
ing which time much scandalous evil
dence was brought out, some of which
did not reach the reading public.
Almost up to the momsnt when the
jury announced that it had agreed the
prospects for unanimous decision of
the twelve men was not bright. Dur
ing the morning the jury filed into
court and asked for further instruc-
tons on the question Of self-defense
and while the spectators we're still
standing in the courtroom discussing
the instructions given the jury word
came from the juryroom that the men
had agreed. .-.-s-
Judge Johnson took his seat just as
the jury was escorted into the room.
There was absolute silence. Then the
court clerk went through the usual
procedure of asking whether the jury
had agreed and the foreman an
nounced the verdict of not guilty in
each case.
There was a seconds pause, dead
silence, then, with half scream, the
sisters fell in each others arms. In
an instant the women were surround
ed by friends and their attorneys and
overwhelmed with congratulations.
The jury was not polled and after
Judge Johnson had thanked them Mrs.
Erb hurried from her seat to Dickin-
son, the foreman, and wrung his
hands. Mrs. Beisel did likewise and
they went down the line of the twelve
men. Tears stood in the eyes of most
of them and the thanks of the women
were sobbed out in broken syllables
