A Noted Water Expert
Astonishes Commissioners
With Array Of Reports
Contentious OF the Hannah Creek Ranch
men Greatly Strengthened Today.

Mr.. Fields. of Denver, one of the
best known experts in the matter of
water measures, the flow of streams,
etc, in the state of Colorado, was on
the witness stand during the entire
morning session of the Hannah Creek
water commissioners and was on the
stand during the greater part of the
afternoon session.
In this highly important hearing
involving Grand functions hope for
a mountain water system in the near
future, no more interesting testimony
has been given than that given by the
expert from Denver.
Mr. Fields was brought to the city
by the Hannah Creek ranch men and
water owners for the purpose of
showing by his official figures, re-
ports, Investigations, etc, the exact
amount of water in Hannah Creek
at different periods of the year, how
the flow is effected by weather condi-
tions, how much water would be left
if the city is allowed 20 take the de-
sired 300 inches, how seriously the
water supply of the ranches would be
affected and to present to the COM
missioners who are to adjudge or
app dlSt lHG Vi lllt water ana,
other information of vital nature.
Mr.. Fields presented a great array
of statistics and reports. He made it
clear that he had the Hannah Greek
situation pretty well in hand and the
efforts of the attorneys for the city
to entangle him concerning any fea-
ture of his testimony were unavail-
ing. Mr.. Fields testimony was very
effective for the Hannah Greek
ranchmen's side of the case 1t was
very comprehensive and important
testimony.
The taking of testimony for the
Hannah Creek ranchmen will be con
cluded tonight or tomorrow and then
the city's side of the case will be
opened.
Mr., Fields presented number of
maps, plats, etc, to illustrate his
statements and to bring out clearly
the conditions on Hannah creek.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon Mr.
Fields was still on the stand and was
still being examined by the attor-
neys for the Hannah Creek ranch
men, Messrs, Goudy and Hayt. He
will probably be recalled to the stand
tomorrow morning.
The sessions today have been large
ly attended.

Denver, Dec. All Denver will
make a special effort to entertain the
pretty girls from the apple districts
of Colorado and New Mexico during
the big Apple exposition in the Audi
torium the first week in January, and
when one of this galaxy of the fair
sex, with cheeks as red as the juicy
apples that grow in their sections of
the state, is crowned as queen of the
Apple show, all Denver will pay ho-
mage to the beautiful consort of bril-
liant King Apple,
The young queen will be crowned
in the Auditorium Friday night, and
on Saturday night brilliant society
ball will be rendered the queen and
her court in the spacious ball room
OF the Brown Palace hotel.
The coronation will take place
amid all the pomp and ceremony of
a similar scene in the old world.
The stage settings will be elaborate,
and the robes and costumes magnifi-
cent. Lords and dukes and gallant
knights will be there: in fact, all of
the great mobiles of the Apple domain
in all of the splendor of their
greatness. Immediately surrounding
the queen will be the rest of the pref
ty girls from the apple districts, who
will be maids of honor.
The contest for queen during the
early days of the show will be spir-
tied, and the fair ruler will not win
her laurels without terrific strug-

that he had heard from neither
Fletcher Snead nor Mrs. Snead for
nearly six months. In other words,
although he would not mention it, he
puts the time when the correspond
ence ceased at the time when Fletcher
Snead strangely disappeared. Asked
whether 1t was true that Fletcher
Snead was hiding in Palisade, he said
with an attempt to pass 1t off as a
JOKE, II he has been here or is here
/ havesnot seen him. He would not
say point blank that he did not know
his brothers whereabouts.
Snead denied with the utmost en-
phaticness that he is the writer of

ties in the case mailed from Box 396

a secret which he was zealously
guarding. From the nervous excite
ment under which he was plainly lab
oring and which increased as he was
pressed more closely for his story of
the tragedy and the peculiar circum-
stances attending it, it seems prob
able that locked in the heart of this
young man who does not look to be
over %, and who lives the life of a
recluse In his little home on tract
of fruit land in Vineland, across the
river from Palisade is the key to the
grewsome mystery which has baffled
the greatest detectives of the East
and which has attracted national at
tention as one of the most grewsome
and battling tragedies of recent years.
Where his brother, the missing
husband of the dead woman is, the
reason for the many insurance poll
cies taken out by Mrs. Snead before
her strange death, and the forces
which impelled her to slowly starve
to death in a deserted house are all
questions which he might answer II

they helped Cook in preparing the

No railroad should be permitted to

Not Enough Good Horses.

A table has been compiled from
the statistics of the Census Bureau
and the Department of Agriculture,
which shows that the rise in the
market value of horses has been all
out of proportion in the last Is years
to the increase in their number in the
United States. From 1893 to 1908
the horse population, so to speak, in
creased 8, 1856, 600, or % per cent. In
the same period the gain in the num-
Der of human inhabitants was q, 979,
600, or 80 per cent. But the increase
in the value of the horses in this
country was no less than 1875, 800,
600, or 88 per cent. These facts will
aStonish many persons who have sup
posed that the growth of the automo.
bile interest has been adverse to the
horse breeders and the market de-
mand for horses. On the contrary,
the prices obtained for good horses,
especially for heavy draft animals Of
blood and stamina, have risen far be.
yond the hopes Of horse dealers few
years ago. Horses are worth about
so per cent more in proportion to
their number than they were in 1893.
