Suit for damages to the amount of
S1l 500 was filed in the district court
today against the city of Grand June
ton by James NJ. Perry, the dis
tilled-water merchant, through his
attorneys, Wheeler & Weiser.
The action grows out of the trou-
BILE a couple of months ago wherein
the city officials declared the water
furnished by Mr.. Perry to contain
typhoid fever germs and prohibited
him continuing in business. The ac-
tion of the city commissioners was
later rescinded, but Mr., Perry found
his business practically ruined.
Hence, the damage suit.
Among the allegations in the COM
plant are the following:
THAT on, to-wit: the l1th day of
June, A. ID. 1910, and while the said
plaintiff was so engaged in carrying
on his said business in the city of
Grand Junction of distilling water
and selling same to the public. and
while plaintiff had in full force a
license or permit issued to him by the
defendant for carrying on his said
business of distilling water and SELL
ing the same, the said defendant
wrongfully and maliciously and with
the intent to injure the said plaintiff
in his said business, at regular
meeting of the city council of the
said city of Grand Junction, held at
the city hall in said city, passed a
resolution declaring that the distilled
water which was being used in said
city and taken from the said plant of
this plaintiff was injurious and det-
rimental to the health of the water
consumers in said city, and further
ordered the commissioner of health
and civic beauty and the city health
officers of said city of Grand juno
tion to forbid and stop the plaintiff
from selling his said distilled water
in said city; and that thereupon the
plaintiff was notified by the marshal
of said city of Grand Junction. acting
under the direction of the city coun-
ell of the said defendant to immedi-
ately stop the sale of distilled water
manufactured by him at his plant in
said city"
The statement is then made that
his business was returning him a
profit of $4,000 per annum.
Continuing. Mr. Perry alleges:
Plaintiff further alleges that the
said defendant, by and through it's
officers and members of said city
council, on or about the 11th day of
June, A. d. 1910, wrongfully and
unlawfully and with a malicious in
tent to injure the said plaintiff in
his said business of distilling water
and distributing and selling the same
in the city of Grand Junction and
county of Mesa, and with the intent
of causing the said plaintiff to be
compelled to discontinue said busi-
ness in said city, circulated and

MAY PROSECUTE
AFTER PEN|TENT|ARY
INVESTIGATION ENDS

Denver, Aug. 13.-The investiga-
tion into the affairs of the Cleghorn
at the penitentiary
has already developed enough facts,
according to Attorney General Bar
nett, to warrant later prosecution
According to the attorney general the
business system at the institution was
purposely involved to allow of those
on the inside of the game to take
what they wanted when they wanted.
The destruction of records and for
getfulness of witnesses made 1t hard
to make any headway, but Mr.. Bar
nett says that enough of the trans
actions have been brought to light
for him to proceed to recover some
of the funds that were gotten away
with and probably prosecute those
responsible. 1t may take weeks and
possibly months to clear up all the
alleged crookedness but it will be
done, he says.

WILLARD PATTON, POPULAR YOUNG
MAN, KILLED BY KICK FROM HORSE
Found Unconscious in Corral This Morn

One of the most tragic deaths
which ever occurred in this city was
revealed at 10:30 this morning when
the unconscious body of Willard Pat

Warren Patton, and son of Mr.. and

his features terribly mutilated. The
imprint of a horses hoofs were plain
ly discernable over his mouth and
nose, and he was so fearfully injured
that death resulted three hours later
but not until after he had regained
consciousness.
The young man was last seen alive
about $3.50 or 10 O'Clock in the morn
ing when he was in pursuit of his
regular morning duties caring for a
dozen or more horses owned and fed
at the corral. He had taken the
horses from their stalls and tied them
in a row on the outside of the stable
while he cleaned out their stalls and
put in the new bedding. AS usual
thing he curried and brushed the
horses at this stage of his routine
chores but before starting this work
this morning he vidently prepared to
doctor a horse which had a sore
shoulder as he had gotten out the
medicine and salve used for this pur-
pose.
Which horse kicked him is not
known as he did not lay directly be-
hind any one horse and was in easy
reach of two or three. He was dis
covered by other iIfeIYDors of the

at once to the family home at 324

property of DR.. Leroy C. Hedges in

w. H. Hedges, father of the de-

Judge Sullivan sustained the point
of Attorney Berry that the mortgage
was a legal fraud and therefore void.
That does not mean that 1t was given
for fraudulent purposes but that in
the eyes of the court it was fraud

GOOD SEEDS MAKE GOOD GAR.
DENS.

Seeds of the best quality are apt to
fail through improper treatment. by
sowing the seed too deep or too shall
low; in too wet or too dry soil Seeds
differ greatly as to temperature re-
quired for termination. Some will
germinate rapidly at certain tenn
perature, while others. il sown under
the same conditions, are apt to decay.
and for these reasons it is imperative
that great care and judgment be exer-
cised in selecting seeds, planting and
caring for your crops.
Be sure that you select your seeds
early to avoid possible delay in get
ting your order delivered, and also to
fortify yourself against any possible
rise in prices, which is sure to come
to the late purchaser. Seeds for west
ern planting must be particularly
adapted to this climate, altitude and
conditions. The large seed houses.
such as the Bartcldes company OF
Denver, have experts constantly test
ing and grading their output, SO as to
improve the quality wherever possible.
There is no question Of doubt but that
the splendid record the Rocky Noun
tain country is making in yield per
acre is due in no small degree to the
fine quality of acclimated seeds that
are being so generally used.

needlework bold in design and done
with coarse silk. The finer kinds of
work are more or less lost by the ad-
dition Of the fur. even when the en-
broidery shows a contrast in color.

lime and water. After adding the
arsenate of lead the whole mixture
should be thoroughly stirred to mix
the poison with the wash. This wash
is put on with an ordinary paint brush
and the trunk of the tree should be
covered as high as the rabbits can
reach. 1t should be renewed if there
is any indication of injury to the trees
by rabbits. One-half pound of paris
green may be substituted for the ar
senate of lead.
The trunks of the trees are wrapped
with paper, the paper being tied on
with corn to hold it in place. Old
newspapers may be used for the above
purpose, the care necessary being to
see that the paper entirely covers the
trunk of the tree high enough to pre-
vent the rabbits reaching the exposed
portion above the paper.

Adopting a Lamb.

In case an eve loses her lamb she
should be made to adopt twin, and
this is often a difficult thing to do. One
of the best methods is to strip the
skin from the dead lamb while it is

of the lamb that is to be adopted. ty-
ing 1t on by wrapping light string
about 1t many times. Then If this lit
tie orphan in another's clothing is

moved and no further difficulty will be
experienced.

Small lace pieces of one kind and

which can be used is put into service.

berthas, ready-made yokes, or cuffs
