Arrest of the Riverside

nu Sohpahy OmCiaiS.
Charged with using the United
States mail to defraud. seven Off
GERS of the Riverside Colonization
Co.. which operated largely out
OF Denver and Grand Junction,
were arrestsed yesterday by United
States officers and were taken before
Commissioner Hinsdale where they
gave bonds for appearance on Dec
ember 9th. The men arrested are
Frank White, H. A. Gibson, DR..
John Gould, S. n. Baker, C. S.
Woody. r. w. Rose and ]. A Wright.
George A. Cockburn. vice-president
of the company, was the only Of
ticer not arrested. The subsidiary
companies are the Whitewater Ir-
i'gation and Land company, the d.
w. Rose Realty company and the
Grand Mesa Investment Co. All
these were originally formed by DR..
Gould and c. S. Woody. Their prop
erty is in Delta county. Their origi-
nal idea was the damming of the
North Fork of the Gunnison be-
low Hotchkiss to water land south
Of Delta. The scsheme was always
pronounced ridiculous by state and
federal officers.
The government claims that they
had much less land and water than
advertised. that the entire project
was fake and that the investors
who put their money into the propo-
sition have lost all beyond chance
OF recovery. The seven men ar
rested are among the most promi-
lnent irrigation promoters In the
West.

Broom-Corn and Brooms
Made on Garnet Me,

An item of considerable local in
terest can be stated in the fact that
broom-corn has not only been ma
tured this year near Delta. but that
the same is being manufactured in
to first class brooms by an exper-
fenced broom maker. A. N. Unrah
of Garnet mesa, is the raiser of the
broom-corn and maker of the
brooms. Mr.. Unruh came from Ok
iahoma. and having a broom mach
inc which he was unable to dispose
of. brought it with him. This led
him to experiment at growing the
broom-corn which proved to be a
success.

CHEWING Up NOTE
IS NOT ROBBERY
Law FAvoRS THOSE WHO HAVE
AN APPETITE FOR NEGOTIABLE
PAPER

To mastieate a note OF hand when
handed you BY anyone 70 examine does
no. constitute robbery. This was the
decision rendered by Justice High
yesterday when he dismissed A. ].
Finnerty OF Don Luis charged with
having ohened mp and swallowed a
note for sS5 given him to examine at
his request BY M. A. Keene a local
broker some time since. The ease
has been pending FOR some time.
The evidence showed that Finnerty
had given the note for money Dor
rowea from Keen and upon Keen de-
handing his money Finnerty asked
to see the note. il was handed him
By Keen and before the owner of the
Bit Of negotiable paper could inter
fere it had been chewed 10 a pulp and
disappeared down Finnertys throat.
Judge High in discharging the pris-
oner stated that while FinHerty was
undoubtedly guilty OF an offense
against the law the charge OF robbery
could not hold. 40 violence was used
in obtaining possa ssion Of the note
such as would have had TO take place
before the charge OF robbery would
lie.

than bad scare and q braisea right

WOMAN RECLUSE
BRUTALLY SLAIN
IRON BAR THE WEAPON, AND
GIL STARTS a FIRE IN THE
HOUSE

LH1ANENN ORTIZ. Kan. June o.
By finger prints found late tonight
on a window pane in the charred
remains OF the residence Of Mrs.
Aatheripe Schultz. The police hope
70 loca-e the person who. early 10
Gay murdered the woman and then
set Ere 70 her house in effort to
conceal the crime. After seaarhing
tie ruins Of the dwelling for many
-curs, the police came upon the
marks on the glass.
Warden z. W. McCiaughrey. of
the federal prison, made a photo
grab of the marks. If any suspects
are arrested. impressions OF their
fingers will be taken and compared
with the marks found on the glass.
The general opinion is that Mrs.
Shnltz. who was a wealthy recluse.
a years old. was killed by one OF
his debtors. She is known 10 have
held mortgages on several pieces OF
property in the city. Some think
robbery was the motive. as she kept
large sums OF money in the house.
The fact that all the woman 5
mortgages and abs tracts had been
carefully inspected, and then thrown
ABOUT the house, is accepted by the
police as proof that some one in her
eebt committed the deed. Mrs.
Schultz was killed while she lay in
led. She was bea' en- to death with
an iron bar. Coal Gil was poured on
he body and about the house to aid
n spreading the flames.
