All daS today the trial of the Pali-
sadc liquor case has been under way
in the county court and has attracted
much attention. the court room be
ing well filled all during the day
The prosecution has been having its
inning again today.
That Newton Taggert and Jake
May. the two star Witnesses for the
prosecution. introduced yesterday,
did not make as strong witnesses as
many interested in the prosecution,
is admitted yet their testimony was
damaging. However. under the cross
examination conducted by Attorney
Wheeler. for the defense, the testi-
mony of each man was somewhat
weakened. One startling feature was
the refusal of one OF these witnesses
to admit that he had sworn to certain
things that were contained in an
affidavit to which he had sworn. He
testified that he couldn't even read
and couldn't read what was written
in the affidavit. Neither one of these
star witnesses can read or hardly
| write.
Taggart said he lived on fruit
ranch near Palisade and that he
went to the place J. w. Gallentine
! and Davis are supposed to have been
running for Charles w. Jordan, OF
December 23rd and got whislsuS
| which he took to Fred Rowley. under
whose nstructions he was acting and
Rowley labeled this whiskey and
kept II to produce in court. Taggart
described the place where he got the
liquor Said he had no trouble get
ting it.
Jacob May also told of going 10
the Gallentine place in Palisade, Sc
curing liquor on December 23rd and
turning ii over to Rowlcy. Later he
declared that he was in Grand june
ton on December 2;srd and got liq-
uor while he was here. This created
II sensation. This admission was se-
cured on cross examination by At
torney Wheeler for the defense but
later May became confused, saw that
he was tangling himself up and de-
cinrcd that he WAS not in Grand
junction ON December e:Srd rs he
had testified but was here ON u later
date. When Attorney Wheeler had
finished cross examination these two
men were pretty badly ratified and
confused.

took active charge of the work of

A Pioneer Engineer
Meets Awful Death
One of Worst Accidents in History on
Road-Several Men Badly Hurt
Dead Man Well Known Here

Another horrible railroad tragedy
is to be added to the fearful calen-
dar of tragedies that has been unfold
ed in this section since the first of the
year.
This time the Uintah railroad, the
small line near this city that runs
out from Mack, this county, into the
Uintah reservation, is the scene of
the frightful accident.
One mani. E. (Doc) Lane, wide
ly known in Grand Junction and one
of the pioneer railroad men of this
sections dead, and several men
were more or less seriously injured.
Details of the accident We're re-
ceived by The Sentinel this after
noon in messages from Mack.
Heavy SHOWS have been prevailing
in the Uintah country for some days,
and on the mountain pass of the Uin-
tah the storms have been terrific.
This morning. engine No. 3. with
the snow plow, went out from At
chez in charge of Engineer j. E..
Lane, and a number of Greek sec
tion hands, and near mile post No.
35 (35 miles out from Mack) the
engine began to buck the snow to
clear the track. The point was be-
tween the top of the pass tBaxter)
and Lake McAndrewS on the north
slope of the Big Book cliffs. There
the snow is always heavily accumu-
lated to great depths, and much trou-
BILE is experienced in keeping the
track opened at this point. The
grade at this point, is about per
cent, as the grade from Wendell to
Baxter Pass average 5 Y per cent.
The north slope is heavily timbered.
Engine No. 5, which is a large.
side-propelled shay engine. Weighing
about 50 tons, was hard at work
with the snow plow at the point in
question-about / mile below the
summit of the pass, The curves of
the track here are very sharp and
pronounced.
Suddenly as the work went on the
snow plow was derailed, and, before
the engine could come to a stop. the
engine went over the steep embank-
ment along with the plow. Engineer
Lane had no chance to get off his
engine and over the embankment
with his engine he went.
AT fearful rate down the snow
covered embankment the heavy en-
gine went for a distance of over 800
feet, turning over once or twice as
it was hurled along. Several Greek
workmen who were on the engine OF
pillow went over the embankment.

WILLIAM 0. STANDISH DEAD.
Montpelier Business Man Of Old Puri-
tan Stock Passed Away Saturday
Funeral Services This Afternoon.

William Otis Standish, passed
away peacefully, at his home on Elm
street early Saturday morning after
an illness of several days following
a shock on Tuesday. He was con-
scious until very near the end, but had
grown weaker very rapidly.
Mr.. Standish was one of the most
prominent and we'll known business
men of Montpelier and was born in
Westville, N. Y, May 18th, 1S41, son
of William and Flaville Boardman
Standish. At the age of about 10
years he came to Montpelier and
was employed by Keith and Peck.
About four years later, he became a
partner of Carlos Smith under the
firm name of Smith and Standish
and the early beginnings of the meat
industry which he carried on in later
years so successfully, were located
in the basement of the block in which
the present market is located. The
partnership was dissolved in a few
years and Mr.. Standish went to
Springfield, Mass, returning in two
years to the former bust.
ness which has been since continued
and grown rapidly.
MI. Standish married Philura A..
Smith, daughter of William s.. and
Philura Smith, of Montpelier, and is
survived by his wife and three child
rem, Richard H., Fred A. Standish, of
Montpelier, and Mrs. Ruth Lorimer,
of New York City. Another son,
Myles S%tandish, died several years
ago.
Mr.. Standish attended the Church
of the Messiah when able but has been
in feeble health for the past few
years, being obliged to relinquish
the chief duties of his business to his
son, r. H. Standish. Mr.. Standish
had an ancestry of which to be
proud. His forefathers were of old
Puritan stock and he was an eighth
lineal descendant of Captain Myles
Standish and Priscilla Alden, both
historic notables.
In politics, he was a Democrat,
and voted the ticket each time despite
Republican majorities.
Funeral services will be held from
his late home at two o'clock this
afternoon, Rev. ]. Edward Wright
officiating. Interment will be in Green
Mount cemetery.
