were in attendance at the annual meet
ling. which was held in X. Of P. hall on
"wednesday evening.
President Lance called the meeting to
order. and after the reading Of the min
utes Of the previous meeting by Ssere-
tary Sprinkler. the club got down to busi-
ness the first Of which was to take action
upon resolution passed along by the
board Of directors that the bylaws be
amended and the name Of the organiza-

adopted at the June reorganization meet
ing eonfiieted with that Of the Rocky
Ford Club. an incorporated body Of sew
sral years standing. and the confusion Of
mail was great in consequence. The
motion to change the name was unani-
mously carried.
As this was the regular annual meet
ing of the organization the most import
ant business was the election Of board
Of fifteen directors, and this was next
taken up on motion that nominations be
made from the floor. Over thirty eandi-
dates were thus placed in nomination,
and amongst the names submitted were
those Of tho entire membership Of the old
board. but to the great regret Of every
one those Of the members who by hard
work have kept the organization together
for the past two ysars-notably the pres
idsns ID secretary Of the old board
considered that they were entitled to a
res. and refused to allow their names ts
stand.
A count Of the ballot showed that the
following fifteen gentlemen will compose
the directorate for the nsxt twelve
months:

ATAME SESSION
But Little Doing at Last Meeting Of
City Council

The extremely hot weather seems to
have had its effect upon the city council.
At any rate the regular meeting Of the
city dads on Monday evening was tho
tamest affair that they have pulled of
since assuming office. Everything was
quiescent about the council chamber and
the momentous water question did not
disturb the serenity.
Acting Mayor coffman was In the chair
and the only absentee was Alderman
Meyer. who is out of town.
The semi-annual statement from the
county treasurer was read, and the fol-
lowing Is summary OF the report re-

Louis Dupre Of Putnam, who late on
Wednesday afternoon changed his plea
OF not guilty to guilty in the case
wherein he was charged with having
received stolen property, was fined
500 and costs in superior court on
Thursday morning on each of the two
counts. The total will figure some
thing like $500. Acting States Attor-
ney Bugbee requested that if a fine
was imposed that it be the maximum.
Attorney Torrey, for the defense.
sought fine, and told the court that
the accused had been working for the
PUTNAM Gas company for about a
score OF years and that for the last
fifteen had been its chief engineer. He
also stated that he had enjoyed an
excellent character up to the present
incident and felt that he would be
sufficiently pushed with a fine without
a sentence in Jail.
Charged with Cruelty to a Bull.
The next case called was that of
John G. Lynch Of Windharn, charged
With cruelty to a bull. This jury was
sworn and enlpanelled: James Coch-
rane, Charles McDaniels, Benjamin
Russell, Charles S. Hyde, Henry Eat
On. Thomas Bradford, Frank w. Cong
don, James Downing, Ingoldsby w.
Irowbridge, Caleb Anthony, Walter
w. Vaughn, Newton e. Clark
Special Attorney E. Frank Bu@bee
was assisted by Attorney Samuel B.
Harvey, local counsel for the Connec-
ticut Humane society. The defendant
was represented by Attorney Thomas
]. Kelley. When put to plea Mr..
Lynch entered plea of not guilty.
George J. Rood of Windham was
the first witness called and testified
that On the 10th day of last July while
III his yard he saw Lynch coming UP
the walk in front of the house at about
$50 in the morning, and that his
brother, Horace Rood, was driving the
cows across the walk and had a yearl-
ing bull that was walking behind
slowly and that Lynch came along and
kicked the bull in the side and as the
bull turned he kicked him again, but
more severely. Lynch and Rood had
some words about the affair. Claimed
that the bull was headed toward the
street when Lynch kicked it and that
afterwards the bull went down and
when he got to the pasture, a half or
three quarters Of a mile below, that
he went down again and he was taken
back to the barn and treated He said
that the spot where the bull was kick
ed was swollen for something like two
weeks.
Rood claimed on cross examination
that the entire affair took place on
the sidewalk and that he was approx
imately 100 feet distant. The first time
he saw Lynch was when Lynch was
kicking the bull, and that ne was alone
and he did not see anyone else around.
He denied Horace's calling out of the
house. There was nothing said before
the bull had been kicked, and there
had been no movement on the part
of the bull to go at Lynch. He ad-
mitted that there had been strained
feelings between the Rcods and
Lynches for five or six years.
Horace Rood said that he had
known the accused for years as they
were neighbors Early in July, about
6 in the morning, he was driving the
cattle from the barn through the drive
VI y across the sidewalk. The bull
was in the rear, and as the latter
came opposite Lnych endeavoring to
cross the walk, Lynch kicked him.

noon. DR.. B. K. Dow was called by

FOR THE FARMER
From the Denver Field and Farm.

rrou the Denver + fIel1 ana faTIn-
The canning factories have been
actively engaged the past month ia
signing up acreage in the various dis
trict- where vegetables are grown ard
nave made about enough contracts
for the season. The pea growers are
quite enthusiastic for last year they
made 80 an acre from this crop and
1t did nptinjure their soil but rather
improved it. The pea Gamers are this
year Offering from IL to , l-2 cents
pound for tho vines delivered at the
factory. The tomato folks are paying
80 ton for canning stock and are
guaranteeing twenty-five cents the
hundred for ca bbags. There is. some
demand for corn, beans and pumpkins
while one factory In the state will
undertake to put up asparagus tips. a
process which requires the highest
skill in the Gamers art ..'
We see signs Of largely increased
acreage Of alfalfa on the dry lands in
the planting that will be done this
spring. The dry farmer who never
has enough feed should plant at least
i've acres of alfalfa every spring aud
supplement this with rye in the fall
until he has enough. Rye cut before
it flowers is equal TO timothy but
after tllowers il begins to dcJerior ate.
BY plowing ten inches and narrowing
at once to keep in the moisture good
stand of alfalfa Can always be ob-
taincd. Plant ten pounds 10 the acre
and nothing with it. April is the best
month for seeding but the ground
must be well prepared long before
that time. The great trouele with our
dry farmers is shallow plOwing Deep
plowing gives twice a. much moisture
and the difference between seven
inches and ten will double the crop.
Two months ago when we saw the
disposition on the part of dealers to
crowd down the price On spuds to sixty
cents and hold it there We protested
against the proposition a. ungenerous
aud advised growers to hold for better
figures. This has been a good winter
for holding up spud stock in the
cellars and the sorted goods that come
out how are in such fine condition that
the Greeley market is now paying
| eighty-tive cents for pearls and ninety
| five cents for rural> with prospects
that both will jump the dollar mark
inside a month. The east fell short of
| potatoes just ~ We kneW Il would and
even California which two months ago
| threatned to do all kinds of things to
us is now receiving our goods to sup
ply the coast markets. The Greeley
people have shipped out only half of
their total crop and still have some
thing like 1000 carloads to sell The
weather is finer now for shipping and
with plenty of cars everything is 60
ing out in fine condition
