until the arrival Of a physician. who
speedily eounteraeted the effects Of the
poison, and at last reports Mr.. Brannon

This is the second narrow escape for
Mr.. Braunon recently. as ii is but short
time since he was severely shocked oy

A NEW ORANDSTAND
And Other improvements for Our
Big Arkansas Valley Fair

According to the directors of the
Arkansas Valley Fair association Our
big fair will this year far exceed any
thing ever attempted, which will be
going some." as it is everywhere
conceded that Rocky Ford's fair is by
all odds the biggest and best in the
state.
At the directors meetings of Mon
day and TUESDAY, it was reported that
the grounds are in better shape than
ever and the track is in frst-class
condition, and arrangements were per-
fected that will greatly increase the
capacity Of the grounds and give seat
ing capacity in the grandstands suffi-
cient to care for much larger at
tendance than we have ever had even
on Watermelon Day.
Bids were received as follows for
the erection of new grandstand. to
take the place of the old central build
ing:
W. H. Tewes .$o.o5S.oo
A. P. Brokaw ........ s.eo+25
Palmer ( Teas ....... 6.6so.oo
J. w. Williams ........ 6.s0o.oo
The contract was awarded to Mr..
Brokaw, he being the lowest bidder.
According to the plans and speciica-
tions the framework of the new
grandstand will be of structural iron
and be provided with boxes and seats
as modern and comfortable as any
thing to be found in the West. The
new stand will provide greatly in
creased seating capacity. and beneath
it will be fitted UP as an horticultural
hall and pantry stores room. whic h
will relieve the former congestion in
other buildings.
A contract was also let to J. w.
Morgan of Pueblo for the removal of
the old grandstand to a position east
of the present stand. where it is to
be placed on a new foundation and
put in better condition than it has
been for the last few years. This
gives the association an additional
stand. and it is said will seat more
people than any grandstand in the
state.
The grounds will be enlarged by
the fence surrounding the site Of the
old melon pile. which will be moved
to a new site in Sen. Swink's grove
west of Ninth street. This will al
low considerable more space for con-
ccssions. etc. within the grounds.
Work upon these alterations and
Improvements will be started at once
so that everything may be in shape
by fair time.

AT CATE OF PEN
Is Released Under $4,000 Bond and
at the Hammond Home In This
City Awaits Judges Decision
on Legality of Arrest


on Legality of Arrest
John E. Godding. former president OF
the State Bank of Rocky Ford. was not
released from the penitentiary on Mon
day as was expected and Sheriff Potter.
who arrived in Canon City on Sunday
for the purpose of taking him into custody
and again placing him on trial in Otero
county for receiving money on deposit at
time when he knew the bank to be
insolvent, was obliged to wait for his
prisoner.
The sheriff was armed with warrant
for Godding's arrest. but the legality of
again placing him in custody for an Of
fense for which he has served two years
IN ths penitentiary. was raised and the
warden was unwilling to surrender the
prisoner Until an opinion covering the case
could be had from Attorney General
Barnett.
0odding who has been employed at
the road-making camp near Colorado
Springs for several months. was brought
to the psnitsntiary Sunday in anticipation
Of his discharge on parole. He has been
an exemplary prisoner and made himself
eligible to parole several months sooner
than has ever been the case before by the
splordid character of his work on the
highway with the convict gang.
On the ground that it was not for the
warden to determine what would happen
to GoddinQ after he was released the
Attorney General advised the warden Of
the psnitentiary to give the prisoner his
parole.
Acting under this advice Godding was
released from the penitsntiary at 1880
o'clock on Tuesday. He was immedia-
atsly placed under arrest by Sheriff Po,-
ter and brought to La Junta. On Tues
day afternoon GoddinR appeared before
Judge Rizsr. who placed his bond at
$500 for each Of the six complaints.
which were mabe by o. }. Baxter. n. W
Royal. George 3. Todd. Mrs. S. S. Bailey.
r. v. Waterman and A. c. Sloan. A
satisfactory bond for the $4,000 having
been given by George Hammond. Mr..
Godding was released from the custody
Of the sheriff. and IN company with Mr..
Hammond reached Rocky Ford the same
evening.
There was no demonstration upon Mr..
GoddinR's arrival in this city. though he
was recognized by many.~ho report that
his experience with pick and shovel on
the public road has evidently agreed
with him in a physical way.
The question Of the legality of God
ding's rearrest. raised by his attorneys.
was taken up by Judge Rizer on We'd
ncsday. and at the time the Enterprise
goes to press no decision has been rem
dered by him.
That 0odding could not legally be
rearrested. as he is legally dead" man
and will be dead until the expiration Of
six months. at which time he is freed
from parole. Is the contention Of Godding's S
attorneys.
They base their eon.sntion on statute
Of the state which declares that a convict
on parole is under the surveillance and
control Of the state board Of peniten-
tiary commissioners and is therefore
legally still q convict. or a dead" man.
