AULT AFTER
own LIGHTING

Ault. May l6,-The sentiment
seemed much in favor of new
milk condenser for Ault at the
meeting of the Commercial club
which was held Monday evening.
A committee from the Farmers
union met with the club members
and they also expressed desire for
the new enterprise.
A municipal lighting plant was
another topic discussed and the re-
port of the committee. appointed TO
investigate the cost of lighting the
town with the present method, was
received 1t was the opinion of the
majority present that the city
should own and operate their light
ing plant.
Good roads for the community
was also talked about. There was
good attendance and an enthus-
iastic meeting held.

YOUNG COUPLE
ARE RELEASED

Mr.. and Mrs. J. f. Stone, the
young couple arrested Monday even
ing on the charge OF abandoning
their five weeks old babe in Pueblo.
were released Tuesday afternoon
and allowed to go their way. which
presumably is back to Pueblo,
where they left their infant in
charge of woman who agreed to
take care of it for stipulated sum.
1t appeared, after investigation.
that the young couple did not intend
to abandon the infant, but to have
1t taken care of until they should be
in better position to administer to
its wants.
Neither of the couple is of age
and the youthful wife is decidedly
pretty. Both wept most of the time

MARTIN TRIAL PROCEEDS
With PRINCIPAL WITNESS
ABLE TO GIVE TESTIMONY
Wife Accused Tells Her Story---Woman's Trial
Comes Later---Red Darnell Is Star Wi'ness---
Story Is Practically The Same AS Appeared In
Newspapers At Time Of The Crime.

With IL principal witness in con-
dition 20 go on the stand and tell
what he knew of the charges, the
case of larceny against John Martin,
the first of four under the same in
dictment, was resumed in the dis
trict court Wednesday morning.
E. G. Taylor, the ranchman who
charges that the quartet drugged
and robbed him of gold watch and
charm valued at 5000 and s22.5O
in cash, was not in condition to tes
tify yesterday when called upon.
He was found in stupor in the
Elite rooming house. but could not
appear during the day.
This morning he was the first wit
ness. He recounted his experiences
on the night of the robbery up to
the time he drank the beer in the
Chinese restaurant on Eighth
street, after which, he said, he re-
membered nothing until the next
morning when he regained his
senses in the home of Red" Dar-
mel.
Martin was put on the stand in
his own defense and declared his
innocence of having taken any of
the money or jewelry.
Mrs. Martin, one of the accused
was the third witness. She told OF
having had the watch in her room
and the inference was given that
The Greeley tribune., 1911-05-18

some sort of joke was being played
on Taylor by taking his jewelry
while he was intoxicated. There also
seemed to be an attempt on the
part of the witnesses to shift the
responsibility for the missing jew
elry on the two Georgii girls, Mary
and Ida, who are also among the
accused and whose trials are set
following that of Mrs. Maud Martin.
Red" Darnell was on the stand
when court adjourned at noon. He
told of seeing Taylor on the after
noon of the robbery in what he de-
scribed as an intoxicated condition.
The next he knew, he said, was
Martin telling him that Taylor was
| lying in the weeds "paralyzed" and
of his notification of the police.
The story as developed on the
witness stand was practically the
same as that appearing in the news
papers at the time the arrests were
made by the police.
There were no developments an
nounced in the theory the police are
working on that Taylor was drugged
on Monday night to prevent his ap-
pearance in court yesterday.

TO SUBMIT
THESE LAWS
TO PEOPLE
| SEVEN MEASURES BY LEGISLA-
TlON LEAGUE
the FIRST TRIAL OF INITIATIVE
Platform Pledges Included in List
That Will BE Referred to the
Voters for Their Endorse
ment at Election

Seven laws have been declared for
by the Direct Legislation League,
and after they have been gone over
and perfected they will be submit
ted to the voters through the initia-
tive at the next general election.
This will be the first real test of the
initiative. This was decided on at a
meeting of the league at the Savoy
hotel in Denver and the seven laws
for which a campaign will be i'm
mediately started are:
More economical advertising of
all constitutional amendments.
Headless ballot.
Recall for all elective Officers.
Eight hour day for working
women.
Anti-pass law.
Law abolishing the convention

Railroad commission law.

Street and ]. R. Hermann was ap-
pointed to draft bills covering all
these measures in the proposed
laws. and. at the next meeting Of the
league, to be held in two weeks.
submit the bills.
The fact that the presentation of
the proposed laws would cost the
voters of the state many dollars for
advertising alone. was the subject
of a long controversy. but 1t was
finally decided that the voters would
be glad to have. even at great
cost. the opportunity to pass laws
for themselves.
George Eisler objected to some of
the measures and the method of
adopting them. and stated that the
standing committee on legislation
had failed Of its duty in neglecting
to report back upon the measures
actually passed by the general as
sembly. and which might not be ac-
ceptable either to the league or to
the people. The meeting was enliv-
ened by lively tilt between Eisler
and John H. Gabriel. the presiding
officer of the league.
