knife and slashed him across the
abdomen.
Eye Witnesses report that young
Belos was next slashed across the
arm, nearly severing it, and the
next moment the murderous knife
was buried to the hilt in the poor
victims back. The murderer then
took to his heels and escaped.
With the knife still buried in
his back and his bowels rrotruding
from the frightful wound in his
abdomen Belos was carried to the
Office of DIR. Savage, but he was
dead before the doctor could make
an examination of the wounds.
Sheriff Potter was at once noti-
fed of the tragedy and he and a
force of deputies have since been
on the search for the murderer, SO
far without success.

MONTHLY DIGEST.
OF Important Public Land De-
cisions.

The homestead law does not in ex-
press terms require establishment OF
residence within six months from date
of the entry, as said in Nilsson VS.. St.
Paul. NJ. G. NJ. r. r. Co. (6 L. D. SOY
500. The law gives period OF seven
years within which to prove five years
actual residence and cultivation.
The Land Department, like all 9TH
err tribunals, reconizes rights arising
from inevitable casually Serious i'll
ness of member OF ones family is
inevitable CASUALLY for the anxiets
arising from affliction and the duty
arising from human obligation con-
strain the mind SO that it is not free
to carry out its purposes.
When real estate, comprising more
than 100 :res had been conveyed to
person by another for the purpose
of defrauding creditors, such grantee
took the legal title and did not hold
as trustee. When such grantee there
after made homestead application. he
was DISQUALIFIED, upon the ground
that he was the owner of more than
100 acres OF land.
Where entryman has settled upon
land and made substantial compliance
with the homestead law as to cultiva-
ton. residence and improvement for
the five years Immediately succeeding
that date. his subsequent residence
elsewhere, after the expiration of the
five year period and the submission OF
his final proof, can in no wise affect
kis right to patent for the land.
In deciding questions involving
character of land and water supply,
arising under the Carey Act, of Aug.
I8, 1894, the Department will neces-
sarily rely upon the technical infor-
nation furnished by its experts.
When person takes desert land
entry by way of assignment, he is
thereafter disqualified from making an
original desert land entry.
A United States deputy surveyor is
also disqualified under Section 457 of
the Revised Statutes.
In cases. where lands are open both
to settlement and entry, homestead
claim may be initiated either by
settlement or by entry.
A person making an additional
homestead entry contiguous to his
original entry under Section 2. of-the
act of April i2S, 1904 (33 Stat. SEQ
may reside upon either tract.
The object of the requirement of
annual proof in connection with a
desert land entry is to test the good
faith of the claimant.
An entryman under the homestead
laws. who had acquired title. is not
qualified to. make an entry under the
Reclamation Act. Instructions OF
June 10, 1909 (3S L. D. 5s) affirmed.

Benefit for Bob Harris

That the Harris defense is bending
every effort to raise funds to carry the
case of Bob Harris to the supreme court
is evident from a dodger this week re-
oeived by the Enterprise. The dodger is
from Pueblo and runs as follows:
"A benefit ball for Bob Harris will be
given at the old Armory Hall Sept. 2eth.
Come one-come all; come early-stay
late. Refreshments served. Good music
Good order. Committee on door: R. H.
Kerford and J. W. Jorden. Floor man
ager: Billie Monroe"
Although the Enterprise is giving the
benefit ball this notice we are confident
that not one Of our readers will attend
nor will they contribute to any attempt
to keep "Nigger Bob" from hanging.

Watermelon Day

Its now Just 20 years ago
That where Arkansas waters flow
roundup camp and cowboy rally
Were the only features of the valley
But soon few settlers in here moved
And by their honest efforts proved
That the valley soil was fairly rich
And all they needed was ditch
The farmers soon the ditch did build
And from the river 1t was filled
Then few melons some did plant
And many thought there was too much sand
But when the first fall came by
You should have heard the Joyous cry
When melons fairly CO vered the sand
And made hearts glad. in this small band
Now this was the start of what at this date
is great industry In our big state
The men Of all states who our melons eat
Declare no other place can such quality
beat
Our melons are eaten from ocean TO ocean
And Senator Swink once had a notion
That cargo of melons to London be sent
When asked what In all creation he meant
Acknowledged, the scheme looked rather
bold
But that all melons ever shipped were sold
For men from Chicago, New York and Boston
declare
Such quality In melons was a thing rare
Now when the melons had gained such
name
The people declared they would keep up the
fame
And agreed that for the wise and the lay
They would have great feast called Water
melon Day
On this great day 10000 melons are stacked
And all day around them the people are
packed
Eating the melons politely cut by the tender
Some feeling they must quit, or bust
suspender
On this day its wise no corset to wear
II you do lace you surely will tear
I wonder II boomers were not just the suit
Yon know they are wide, loose and cool too
boot
Now q more jollier crowd and orderly set
| In all your born days you never have met
Oh. remember the great pile that in perfec-
tion was laid
And see what mess of 1t you have made
At Canon City day to eat fruit is named
| At Grand Junction many go to cat peaches
far-famed
At Greeley a feast Of potatoes is roasted
But when all state festivals are toasted
We can proudly. boastfully and truly say
No festival OF state like our Watermelon Day

Alderman Bish was tn g only member
Of the council absent at the meeting on
Monday evening. but this was not the
reason that tho board of al
dermen found it necessary to adjourn be-
fore completing the business. There was
the regular Qrist Of bills to grind through.
and there was some special ones that re-
quired investigation, and this was the
cause Of adjournment.
The first matter up for discussion at
Monday nights meeting was upon letter
from the telephone company to George
Hammond in which he was notified that
his old contract allowing service to La
Junta without extra charge had been
cancelled. This made it appear to the
council that the free service within the
district granted when the franchise went
into effect was being suspended, and the
matter was referred to the city attorney
to investigate and ascertain the rights Of
the CITY under the franchise to keep the
telephone rates down to the stipulated
schedule and service.
Reports Of the commissioners and
several committees were read and or
dered filed.
A bill from the A.B.S.Co. for cleaning
the old surface drain in Park addition
was read, and the city clerk was instruct
ed to return same and request COM
munication explaining the liability Of the
city in the matter.
The bill of Engineer T. S. Shepperd.
amounting to $500, was also held up for
further consideration,
And the special bills relating to our
late marshals were on motion put over to
the adjourned meeting on Monday. Sept.
l8, when it is expected that they will all
be in.
The application for billiard and pool
room license by Geo. G. Goodwin. new
owner Of the Goblin block pool room. was
allowed and his bond was approved.
The ordinance providing a license fee
for transient traders passed second and
third readings and with its public alton in
this wee ks Enterprise will become law
Of this city.
On motion Water Commissioner Crosier
was instructed to employ Night Pump
man Cook for another month.
The council then adjourned until next
Monday night.

In the case of Miss Larson, who
is keeping house for her brother
Harry, assistant embalmer for
Henry ]. Sprinkler, the young lady
was alone in her home at 405
South Eighth street, and was pre-
pairing to retire about $3.50
Wednesday night when she heard
a noise ut the side door, and know
ing that her brother usually enter
ed by the front door she started to
investigate. She had just entered
the dining room when she en-
countered a Mexican, who gruffiy
demanded her money. Returning
to her room she picked up her
purse-containing a few dollars
in change-that was lying upon
the dresser, and handed it to the
fellow, who at once struck her a
brutal blow on the temple, knock
ing her down. When she revived
the fellow had disappeared, SO she
went into the front room and got
her brothers shot gun. Just as
she had thrown a shell into the
breech she saw the desperate
grinning at her from the doorway.
Taking hasty aim she d,but was
unable to tell whether the shot
reached its mark, as the recoil of
the gun in her weakened state
overbalanced her and she fell.
The noise of the shot aroused
the neighborhooi and III a few
minutes the front yard contained
Acting Night Marshal Bluff and
several men. but although the
young woman was lying in full
view of the front door and her
appeals for help could be heard
by all, no one went to her assist
ance until the arrival of Harry
Larson a good quarter of an hour
after the shot had been fired.
The brother Immediately sum-
moned DIR. Blotz, who shortly had
Miss Larson sufficiently revived
to tell of the robbery and assault
and give description of her as
sailant, whom she described as &
very swarthy Mexican of medium
height and wearing a slouch hat
and dark coat.
During the night and yesterday
several suspects were arrested,
but the guilty fellow-whom Miss
Larson says she can positively
identify-was not amongst them.
About 10 o'clock Tuesday night

near Newdale, was on the way to

The racing card for Rocky Ford day

though the enjoyment was somewhat
marred by the accident that befell

track lay the injured riders while rider

the other was racing back the way he
had come. Billy Waters was riding B.

The last day Of the fair has been ap-

our people have learned that it is almost
impossible to view the exhibits on Water

until the last day the visitors have looked
at the display as much as they wish, and
