JOE HARRIS, SLAYER OF SEIBER,
is KILLED.
Story of The Seiber KILLING.
CContinued from page one.)

story of The Seiber Killing.
AS told by The Daily Sentinel on
the afternoon of Friday, August %,
1902, the details of the murder of
Charles R. Seiber by Joe Harris who
yesterday met death in a most mys-
terious manner, were in substance as
follows: AT the summer camp of
the Seiber Cattle company on Or
chard Mesa, about 35 miles south
west of the city on the morning of
August %, 1902, Charles r. Seiber,
president of the company, was shot
and killed by Joe Harris. of West
water, Utah At least nine employees
of the company Witnessed the killing.
The news of the killing created a
great sensation in Grand Junction
Seiber was one of the county's most
prominent men.
According to the testimony given
by men who saw the killing Seiber
and Harris were riding together to-
ward the summer camp early that
morning, having met somewhere
down the road. they were talking
earnestly. They passed several en-
ployes who saw or heard nothing out
of the way. Presently Mr.. Seiber
rode away from Harris and it seemed
that he got rifle from one of the
men, threw it across his saddle and
rode again toward Harris in a slow
manner. suddenly Harris yelled,
drop it, drop it" meaning the rifle,
and pulling a revolver began to shoot
at Seiber He shot him three times,
twice in the heart and once in the
head Seiber fell to the ground in a
diving condition. Harris coolly dis
mounted. picked up the rifle that
lnl ,g,l Il;
and deliberately rode away uninter-
cepted by the employees of the ranch,
The witnesses declared that Seiber
made no move TO shoot Harris and
these witnesses declared that the
murder was cold blooded and delib-
crate. Harris rode to Westwater,
there gave himself up. and was
brought back to this city. Seiber
left wife and eleven children. His
widow and other relatives live in the
city at this time and maintain inter-
ests in the Seiber Cattle company. II
was claimed that Harris had threat
ened to kill Seiber The latter after
being shot. died without saying one
word.
Great excitement was caused by
the preliminary hearing after the
coroner's jury had held that Harris
had feloniously murdered Seiber. The
trial in the district court occurred in
the following October. Attorney
Carnahan and Frank Goudy defended
Harris. Attorney S n. Wheeler as
sisted District Attorney McMullin in
the prosecution.
The trial was one of the hardest
fought and most sensational ever held
in western Colorado. Harris claimed
- self-defense. declaring that Seibel
was in the act of shooting him with
the rifle when he shot Seiber tc
death. He said that prior to the
shooting they had been discussing
certain matters relating to their cat
tie interests, Harris owning fairly
good sized bunch of cattle near West
water and the men had been having

some trouble over range matters, On
October is, 1902. the jury brought in
a verdict finding Harris guilty of
voluntary manslaughter Later Har-
ris secured new trial and finally Sc
cured his freedom, and at the
hands of jury. Feeling was high
as a result of the killing, for months
the whole county was excited.
Following the first trial and the
conviction of Harris on the charge
of voluntary manslaughter the case
was appealed to the supreme court,
the verdict of the lower court was set
aside and new trial ordered. At
this new trial Harris was acquitted.
Harris, while having many bitter
enemies, had good many loyal
friends and they contend that he had
numerous redeeming traits of char
acter.

cToRAeE oF WATER.

Water from some of the mountain
streams in this country possibly could
not be made more palatable or healthy.
Yet the water used in majority of the
cities Of the United States could and
should be improved. It has been gen.
orally supposed that the storage Of
water added to its imperfections by the
accumulation of foreign matter. in
Guiding disease germs. That such is
not the case is maintained in a report
made by the director of water exam
nations to the London board on the
advantages of storing water for some
time previous TO its filtration. The
report concludes:
Storage reduces the number of bac-
terra of all sorts. and. if sufficiently
prolonged, devitalizes the microbes of
water-borne disease typhoid bacillus
and cholera vibrio). An adequately
stored water is to be regarded as safe.
The use OF stored water enables a
constant check TO be maintained on the
safety of LondOn's water antecedent
TO and irrespective OF filtration. II
renders any accidental breakdown in
the filtering arrangements much less
serious.
THE habitual use of stored water
would tighten the grave responsibilities
of the water board as regards the safe
ty of the London water supply, and
would tend to create a sense OF secur-
ity among those who watch over the
health Of the metropolis.
Raw river water should be stored
antecedent to filtration preferably for
thirty days. The question of whether
the thirty days storage should be fixed
on a maximum or on a minimum basis
must be left unanswered: but if the
former alternative be chosen, the de-
STABILITY of employing supplementary
processes of water publication to tide
over emergencies is worthy OF consid-
Grafton"
In a great metropolis like London
bad water is responsible for much sick
ness and death and the examinations
are conducted with a view of lettering
the conditions as much as possible. If
storage improves the quality of the
water used in cities one element Of fear
will be remedied. Fortunately for Salt
Lake. the matter of the purity of the
water used is not vital at this time
but vigilance in maintaining its excel
lence should not be relaxed for single
moment.

BROWN SUGAR.

Senator Tillmsn mourned the fact
that the brown sugar in general use
in his boyhood no longer finds place
behind the counters of the grocers, or,
what is more deplorable. in the pantries
and cupboards of the American homes.

that they had a crowd of braves who
would fight the thunderstorms. OF course
they always ceased in due course any
way, but the Indians thought their fight

II is said that no one who ever survived

remember a thing about having been hit.
It viii be recalled that many victims OF
lightning have their clothes torn com
pletely from their bodies. This is be
lieved to be due to the rush OF the wind
that causes the thunder, stripping the
clothes from the body by sheer suction.
Usually the person struck by lightning
falls TO the ground instantly. Sometimes
however, they remain la the identical po-
sitiOn IN which they were struck. Med
icai science records an Instance Of a half
dozen farm labOrers sitting under a tree
eating their midday meal A bolt OF
lightning struck the Tree and killed the
group. Each man maintained the posture
he had when struck. One was lifting a
piece Of food to his mouth and another
was drinking water.
