THIS YEARS FAIR
EXPECTED TO ECLIPSE
ALL PREVIOUS EFFORTS

| facturers from outside the county are
expected to be big feature. Already
several large manufacturing concerns
of Denver have signified willingness
to be represented.
While the work of the committee on
amusements is still far from complete
they give assurances that this years
program will be the best ever. Each
afternoon at 2 o'clock there will be
horse racing, bronco busting, wild
horse racing and such other amuse-
ments. Some OF the fastest trotters
and PAGERS racing today will compete
in the events at the fair.
Messrs. Dye and Peabody, who have
charge of the speed program, are de-
serving of much commendation for
lending to this department.
But this is only one feature of the
amusements. The committee Is work.
ing with a will and when the fair
opens there will not be dull moment
for the visitors.
The baby show, Of which depart
ment c. c. Denton is chairman, is at
tracing more than usual attention.
The prizes offered in this department
are well worth striving for and the
honor of winning will be big incen-
tive to participate.
Perhaps the biggest day of the fair
will be Fruit Day, when over 10000
pounds of fresh fruit will be given
away.
The departments represented, to-
gether with the chairman Of each, are
as follows:
Fruits-M. e. Snow.
Kitchen and pantry stores-Mrs. M.

MEETING
SUNDAY AT THE FIRST
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

On Sunday next at $3.50 union
temperance meeting will be held at
the First Presbyterian church. The
speaker for the occasion will be the
Rev. J. G. Adams, of Ft. Worth, Tex,
who has a wide reputation as a Cos
pei temperance evangelist. He has
been in the field as a temperance lee
turer for the past eighteen years and
has averaged 279 lectures year,
principally in the South, where he has
launched a number of successful pro-
hibition campaigns. DR.. Adams has
never associated himself, except in
cidentally, with any temperance So
ciety. He believes that the church is
the ruling power in all such move
ments and works along those lines.
He has been associated in the temper
ance cause at various times with Rev.
J. A. Naples, who has also lectured
here. DR.. Adams lays claim to having
delivered more lectures on temper
ance than any living person. He Is a
brilliant conversationalist of great
personal magnetism and we predict
that his lecture on Sunday next will
be intensely interesting and edifying
We advise all who can attend to do
so.

From the present outlook there GER
tainly will be some big doings in this
burg about September s, 9 and 10, the
dates set for the County Fair. With
the close of each day comes further
assurance that the exhibition this
year will eclipse all previous efforts
of the fair association.
The work connected with the fair
has been thoroughly systematized
through the various committees In
charge of the different departments
and each of them is lending its best
efforts toward furthering the inter-
ests of the fair.
The prizes to the winning exhibitors
will total a sum in excess Of 81, 800.
Profiting by past experiences the
association is making some improve
ments this year which will be of
benefit to all. For a considerable time
there has been large force OF men
at work on the grounds putting them
in presentable condition. The arrange
ments for exhibitors will be some
what different this year but it Is ex-
pected the change will be appreciated
by all. A gang Of convicts has been at
work clearing the weeds from the
sidewalks along Eighth street and If
somebody, either the Civic Improve
ment League, or better still, II pos
sible, the property owners themselves,
have the work done in the adjoining
lots, nothing further can be asked In
this direction.
Secretary Rowland receives most
encouraging reports from the various
committee chairmen and freely pre-
diets that the exhibitors will be bet
ter and more numerous than ever be-
fore.
Every farming community in the
county is to be represented in the de-
partment of farm products. The COM
mittee In charge of this department
has communicated either in person or
by letter with all Of them and say the
outlook Is most promising. Prospect
i've exhibitors from Beaver Park are
already arranging exhibits.
The committee on manufactures al
30 gives most encouraging news. Ev-
cry manufacturer In Fremont county
will have an exhibit on the grounds
besides which the exhibits of manu-

From Fridays Daily.


The trial of Antonio Moschetti,
plaintiff, against Harry H. Copper.
defendant, attracted an unusual
amount of interest and attention in
Justice Kennedy's Office yesterday.
The case is an action in replevin o.
iginating over an alleged horse trade
between the parties involved in the
action. The transaction appears to be
a rather complicated one made the
more so because of the fact that the
plaintiff, who is an Italian, does not
speak English fluently. 1t seems that
in the early part Of July the defend
ant who resides at Penrose. traded
horses with the plaintiffs son in the
fathers presence. however, at the lat
ter's ranch on Lincoln park. In re-
turn for his horse the defendant was
to receive the one owned by plain
tiff and 500 in cash with the sons
note for $40. The payment was never
made.
The plaintiff claims that on the
night following the transaction he
sent the son to repudiate the deal. In
stead Of doing this it is claimed he
traded the Copper horse with a third
party. Three weeks after the original
trade the plaintiff began the action in
replevin.
After hearing the evidence and the
arguments of the attorneys Justice
Kennedy rendered judgment in the
sum of $62. together with the costs Of
the action, amounting to $36.75
against the plaintiff Moschetti. The
plaintiff is represented by General
Joseph H. Maupin and the defendant
by Attorney E. C. Stinemeyer. Attor-
