She Gave Herself Away.

Judge Davis was one day in his pri- vate office when he was president of the senate and acting vice president A woman came into the room to see him. He turned and said, Well
 madam, what can do for you?" She was neatly dressed in black. with ao air of extreme poverty. She told a xwretched tale of sorrow and suffering ewinding UP with the climax that she and her little family were actually starving and had not tasted food for two days. The judge seemed deeply moved He excused himself for not attending to the case for the moment. as the senate was nearly ready to open. He looked at his watch with an air of veXation, as if it were not going, and said. "Can any one tell me what time il is?' His visitor pulled out a gold watch and told him the time. The judge said, "Can it be true that your children have been without food for two days when you have q gold watch in the house?" The woman saw the point of the judges question and called out. You are hateful old thing!' and flounced out of the room She was professioro sdeadbeat.

GREELEY POUDRE
CASE ON AGAIN
JUDGE GARRIGUEs HEARS 1T
Plaintiffs Seek to Prevent Confirms
tiOn OF the Bonds

The case of the Greeley-Poudre
Irrigation district and divers parties
who seek to prevent the confirma-
tion of the bonds, was resumed In
the district court this morning be-
fore Judge Garrigues. The object
ors are endeavoring to show that the
district has not been legally organ
lied and the immense amount of
written and oral testimony may re-
quire several days longer to intro
duce. Attorney Ewing was called to
the stand this morning by the OBJ
jectors. He stated that he signed
the petition to organize the district
and also voted at the election. 1t
was brought out that Mr.. Ewing
owned no land in the district, it
being In his wife's name but the at
torney showed a deed of transfer
from his wife to himself which had
not been recorded. The objectors
have summoned a number of desert
entrymen as witnesses, who, they
claim. had no right to vote.
The attorneys from the district
say they can show sufficient votes
from bona fide land holders to con-
stitute large majority and of the
eight votes that were cast against
the proposition at least half were
by desert entrymen.

M0FFAT ROAD
IS DIFFERENT

Travellers who have been over the
Nofrat road. over which the Tribune
has arranged to run an excursion
next Sunday. July "a, declare that II
is the grandest short scenic trip IN
the world
The scenery, unlike the usual
mountain trips, continually ehahses'
and has most pleasing effect upon
the eve. Leaving Denver ct an eie-
walton of $40 feet, the first twenty
miles through valleys and foothills
discloses the richness of the SOIL
then for thirty miles the road passes
through and along the brow of sub
lime mountains until heautliul boui-
der park is reached at an elevation
of $50 feet The continual cnanse
of scenery is one of the greatest de-
LIGHTS of this wonderful trip. In
stead of following the water courses,
as was formerly the universal Gus
tom in constructing mountain rail-
roads. the track runs near the lofty
crest of the mountain range. one
moment an enchanting view or tne
plains and valleys holds the Traveller
spellbound, then he is locked IN the
Businesses of the mountains sur
rounded by their rugged peaks, then
he passes through canons. beside
rushing mountain streams, until at
last beautiful wooded park is
reached at the foot of the snow-cap-
ped Continental divide.
Plenty of room will be provided
for all who care to go, and the rate
has been put unusually low in order
to give all an opportunity to inspect
the Denver-I4aramie's roadbed ana
the country which 1t traverses. Fare.
$3.50 to Tolland and return. or $1.So
extra to the top Of the Continental
divide. Leave Greeley at O'CLOCK
in the morning. returning arrive ut
$3.50 D. nj. No change OF cars en-
route. Tickets on sale and part'cu-

EVANS SALOON
CASE STILL ON
OUTCOME HINGES ON BOOK.
Must Prove Evans DRY" Territory
to Win the Battle

The status of the Evans saloon
case remains the same as at noon
yesterday. Tuesday afternoon and
this morning have been taken up by
the attorneys in arguing for and
against the submission of parol evil
dence. The records have been lost
or stolen of the election which made
Evans anti-saloon territory and the
state desires to prove the result of
this election by the judges and
clerks who made the lost records
The defense contends that public
records cannot be proven by oral
testimony and the court has listened
to long arguments on the subject
If the judge refuses to allow this
evidence the state will probably dis
miss the case and file other proceed
ure.
