Of their filings.
Robnett's story was branded by
him as false in SO far as the state
ments of that witness tended to show
the existence of a conspiracy to ac-
quire timber by purchasing the
rights of entrymen.
Land script at the time the entries
on the Clearwater river were made
would have amounted to about the
same price paid some of the entry
men for their claims, he said, but
that Hester and himself had preferred
to buy the land and avoid delays in
perfecting title, which were often
oeeasioned in connection with scrip
selections. The price of scrip at
that time, he said, practically deter
mined the price of timber land.
c. II. Colby d Fred w. Emery,
both of Lewiston, were placed on the
stand during the day and denied Rob-
nett's story as to their connection
with the alleged Kester and Ketten-
bach fraudulent transactions.
J. d. West, formerly register of
the Lewiston land office, testified
concerning the lineup at the lani
office when the timber was thrown
open to entry.

ODD FELLOWS TO BUILD HOME

A tense but friendly rivalry is at
present existing between Montrose and
Delta over the location of the pro-
posed Odd Fellows home. Both towns
want it and are leaving no stones un-
turned to be able to make a tempting
offer to the committee of the Grand
Lodge of the state for the securing of
the home. Recognizing that they must
pull together if the home is to De To-
Gated on the Western Slope at all, they
are planning that the city which can
have the support of the other, apl con-
sequently the support of all the sub.
ordinate lodges Of the Western Slnp,.
The location Of such an institution
on the Western Slope will near a
great deal and Odd Fellows in particu-
lar and citizens in general are inter
ested in securing it for this side of the
range, whether it goes to Montrose or
Delta. The Odd Fellows have some
thing like 45 of these homes IN the
United States. for aged members of
the order and for orphans and widows
of Odd Fellows. The Grand Lodge or
Colorado has a sufficient amount in it's
home fund for its erection and various
cities over the state are working 10
have it located near them, but Mont
rose and Delta are the only towns on
the Western Slope actively biddfrg

sHEEPHERDER PRO
BABLY MURDERED

Grand Junction, Colo, August O.
Alsedolas Zero, sheep herder employ
ed by Goslen brothers, was killed some
time yesterday on Pinon mesa, in the
disputed cattle and sheep territory,
thirty miles south of this city. Word
of his death was brought to this city
by James s. Laphan today, and Coro-
ner Day left at once to investigate.
Laphan declared the death was due
to an accident and that the Mexican
apparently had fallen on his rifle and
discharged it himself.
Comrades of Zero think, however,
he was killed by cattlemen. They are
excited over the tragedy and fear fu-
ture results. This is the first death since
the recent outbreak between Colorado
cattlemen and Utah sheepmen, and the
cattlemen insist Zero died at his OWL
hand.

HEED THE WARNING
Many Glenwood Springs People Rave
Done So.

When the kidneys are sick they give
unmistakable warnings that should not
be ignored. By examining the urine
and treating the kidneys upon the first
sign of disorder, many days of suffer
ing may be saved. Sick kidneys expel
a dark, ill-smelling urine, full of
brickdust" sediment and painful in
passage. Sluggish kidneys cause dull
pain in the small of the back, head
aches, dizzy spells, tired, languid feel
ings and frequent rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only; they cure sick kidneys, aud
rid the blood of uric poison. If you
suffer from any of the above symp-
toms you can use no better remedy.
