MESA LANDS ARE SPECIALLY
ADAPTED TO DRY FARMING

On business visit to Denver last
week, Geo. A. Fleming, secretary of
the Commercial club, and e. A. Kiefer
of the Gaylor-Kiefer Co., visited twice
the farm Of e. r. Parsons, near Par
ker, Colo, where he is securing re-
markable results in growing cherries
and other fruits, as well as large
amount of alfalfa without irrigation
by the use of a system of his own
which is practically the same as that
which has been made so thoroughly
known by Professor Campbell
Mr.. Parsons farm is located on land
which would be considered by most of
the farmers who have settled around
Las Vegas as too rough for cultiva-
tion. He is located in section Of
Colorado wnere the rainfall is appre-
ciably less than at Las Vegas and
where the general conditions are
much less favorable than they are at
this point. Notwithstanding this fact,
by the use of his methods of deep
plowing and conservation of moisture
by constant cultivation, he has an or
chard of many acres, consisting prin-
cipally Of cherry trees, but also con-
tanning number of different varie-
ties of apples. plums, pears and april

their enthusiasm was every bit as
great as that Of the crowned rulers
abroad over the triumph of the
Wrights as conquerors of the air.
The ceremonies began at 8 o'clock.
when for Ken minutes every whistle
and bell sounded. Up to the hour of
opening the ceremonies, the Wright
brothers hammered away in their
work. shop, getting ready for their
flights in Washington. Miss Katilafs
inc Wright, Bishop Milton Wrigh', the
father, and the two younger brothers,
entered a carriage by the time VIII
bur and Oryille emerged They were
escorted by the state militia to plat
form where pageant passed, repre-
senting big events in the history of
Dayton. The chief event takes place
tomorrow when gold medals from the
city, state and nation win be present.

San Francisco, June 17.-Not all the

defense of Patrick Calhoun, president
of the United Railways. accused of
attempted bribery 1t had been an
nounced that Francis J. Heney would
begin his address and the court room
was packed to hear him.
Able plea for Acquittal
Moore in concluding his remarks de-
clared that Detective w. ]. Burns had
linaugurated spy system which
sought to get evidence against Cal
hSun and asked the. jurors If they
blamed Calhoun ftr using the same
measures in defending himself. He
scored the detectives from Burns Of

laid trap for brother Mason. He
said he was sorry for the strife which
had troubled San Francisco, but be-
lieved a great injustice had been
done by the zeal of the prosecution.
Moore closed by making plea to
keep unstained the honor of Calhoun.
HenGy Uses Loud Talk
Heney's closing address, which be-

LIBEL SUIT TO HIGHEST
TRIBUNAL

In the district court yesterday af
fernoon the case of the Territory OF
New Mexico VS.. Benigno Martinez was
called for trial. and the jury empan'
elled to hear the case. Attorney
Chas A. Spiess appeared for the de-
fendant, while the territory was rep
resented by District Attorney C. w.
G. Ward and Assistant District Attor-
ney Louis G. Ilfeld.
Owing to the prominence of the de-
fendant, he having resided on the
West side Tor many years. and at pre-
sent occupying the position of county
commissioner. member of the council
of the town of Las Vegas, and ex-of-
ficio commissioner of roads and high
ways. considerable interest was taken
in the case as was manifested by the
number of people present to hear the
trial.
The Specific Charge
The def sndant was indicted by the
grand jury at the present term OF
court charged with obtaining money
under false pretenses, and it was al
legged that as street commissioner he
employed cne Valentin Sena to work
on the streets. and thai Sena worked
q day and half for which he was
entitled to receive under his agree
ment the sum of $500; that the war
rant issued to Sena by Benigno Mar
tinez was FOR three and one-half days
work at $1.25 per day, amounting to
$3.50, and the Indictment recited, that
Sena was paid but $500 by Martinez
and the $3.50 Martinez put in his own
pocket, thus obtaining from the town
treasurer i2.50 by false pretenses.
Had No Agreement
valentin Sena was the first witness
placed on The stand by the territory.
He is young man about % years OF
age, married and lives on the West
side, and has been working for the
town on the streets for some time. He
stated positively that there was no
agreement between Benigno Martinez
and himself. as to the amount of the
warrant that was issued to him that
he worked for the town three days
and half, and warrant was issued
to him on the town treasurer for
$3.50; that he received the money and
paid Benigno Martinez $3.50 on an ac-
count he owed him, and kept the So
cash, which he Immediately proceeded
to spend about the town, being assis-
ted in its expenditure by Florentino

Hermann and Juan Kayanaugh came to
him anu asked him to make an affi
davif that Benigno Martinez had made
out his warrant for $3.50, when he
had only worked a day and half, and
was entitled to only $500, and that
Benigno Martinez had kept the differ
ence. or $3.50. The witness stated
that he refused to make such an affi-
davit, telling Mr. Hermann and Mr.
Kavanaugh that it was not the truth,
and that Mr.. Hermann had offered
him $1.00 if he would make such an
affidavit against the defendant Mar
tinez.
A Case Of Spite Work
The territory bad no evidence to
disprove the statements of the wit
ness Sena. or to prove the charge in
the indictment that Benigno Martinez
had raised the warrant from $500
to $3.50, and had converted the $3.50
W HIS uWu use, anu tuCIcIOlc tuC
court instructed the jury to return
verdict of not guilty.
It was apparent from the statements
made by he witness Sena, as to the
activity of certain parties to secure
an indictment against Martinez, that
there was considerable illfeeling
against Martinez by the people who
secured the indictment against him.
Petit Jury Discharged.
The petit jury was discharged and
paid off this morning, there being no
more cases to be tried before a jury
at this term of court.
DR.. M. E. Woodling informed re-
porter for The Optic today that he

bearing eight years, and In that
length of time, Mr.. Parsons has lost
but two crops from late frosts. He
says that he has reduced the growing
|of his trees TO an exact science; that
he has it figured out how much mois-
|ture each tree requires, how much is
lost by evaporation and how much he
can retain. He claims that his orch
ard at the present time is practically
drought proof. And certainly, If one
can believe his eyesight, he has
reached almost perfection in fruit
growing. At the time of Mr.. Flem-
ing's visit, every tree was loaded
with the partly formed fruit. The
cherry trees were loaded so heavily
that it would seem as though the
small branches would never bear up
under the weight of the fruit
In addition to his fruit trees Mr..
Parsons has more than three acres of
currant bushes set eight feet apart
each way. Never on any eastern farm
had either of the visitors seen fruit
as thick or giving promise of afheav-
Ter yield. Grapes and gooseberries
were also giving promise of a bounti-
ful yield. and Mr.. Parsons said very
emphatically several times that there
