CATTLE RUSTLERS:DRIVE
A BIGssFIRM 0yT

Grand Junction, Colo, Sept. 2s.-
Driven from the Pinon Mesa range,
upon which they have been supreme
for fifteen years, the Seiber Cattle
company has shipped the last Of their
herd to Grand Valley, where they have
acquired control of the Grand VAL
ley range and where cattle thieves
are not SO numerous.
General Manager F. d. Parks.
frankly states that the reason for
moving is none other than the abund-
ance OF cattle rustlers which have
infested the Pinon range during the
last four years. For fifteen years the
Seibers have operated on Pinon Mesa.
They have run thousands and thous-
ands Of head OF cattle but for four
years their dividends have gone to
thieves. The sheriff's office has ar
rested a score of alleged rustlers but
not one conviction has been secured.
The only satisfaction the Seiber peo-
pie have received is the death of
three rustlers who were shot by cow
boys.
The Utah Hide & Livestock COM
pany has acquired the seiber inter-
ests on Pinon Mesa and will turn IT
into sheep ranch.

In the world is situated at this hos

The hospital is under the care of

Thirty-hve doctors are on the Mayo

EVIDENCE
CONCLUDED

Arguments In River ClafHi-

Friday and Satordays g

~ .sfl LIZ aHiafO~ 7h99W ~
1t is expected that the evidence In
the river clar;Hcation case will all be
in when the district court adjourns
this afternoon and that argument will
be made by the attorneys tomorrow
and Saturday. A. H. waggoner. sup
erintendent of the south side water
works at Pueblo; ]. D. McFarlane,
superintendent Of the north side wa
ter system at Pueblo, and Robert
| Dryden, caretaker Of the Canon City
waterworks pipe line in the Royal
Gorge, were on the witness stand for
the plaintiffs this morning; the lat
ter exhibiting samples of water TAX
en- from the river at the intake to
! show the condition of the water in
the river at the present time.
Prof l.. G. Carpenter was put on
the stand this afternoon by the plain
tiffs in rebuttal and will close the
proceeding SO far as the submission
OF testimony is concerned. The case
has been on for Learly three weeks
and an immense amount OF data has
been presented by the litigants in re-
lation to the Arkansas river: the op-
erations OF the Twin Lakes Placers
company at Cache creek; the mineral
and vegetable matter held in sus-
pension by the water in its course
from Granite to Pueblo, and the VOL
ume OF silt carried by 1t at different
seasons OF the year.
The case has been an extraordin-
ary one in many respects and its out
come will be waited with the utmost
expectancy by the people OF the
southern half of the state. The testi-
mony when written out by the court
stenographer will be voluminous
document: making between twenty
FIVE hundred and three thousand
pages. The suit has been ably prose-
cuted and skillfully defended and the
result of the trial will be determined
by the court with a mastery array
of facts before II. II the public be-
lleves that 1t is an easy matter 10
prove that the Twin Lakes Piacers
company has been responsible for the
impurity Of the water in the Arkan-
sas river at any period such an i'm
preston would have been dissipated
by an attendance at the trial.
1t is impossible to forecast when an
opinion will be handed down by the
court in the case. but 1t will. probab-
ly. be a matter OF several weeks; per-
haps two or three months. before 1,
is adjudicated. The court Is going In
to the proposition very thoroughly
and its decision will be predicated
on a comprehensive knowledge OF the
facts and a clear understanding ol
the law in the premises. The clarih-
cation of the Arkansas river is a
matter OF tremendous Importance to
one hundred thousand people living
along It's course in this state. and. II
it is found that the Cache creek
placers are source OF its pollution
the law is adequate to abate the nuis.
ance in the interest of the public
health.
The trial of the case will 30 down
in the annals Of the Fremont county
district court as one of the mos
notable proceedings over submitted
for its consideration. The argument
will. no doubt, inspire one OF tn.
most remarkable forensic discussion
ever heard here In court OF record

"LIED AND SENT
BROTHER TO PEN"
George w. Whitehead, His
Days Numbered, Pleads
For the Liberty of
Hts Brother.

tai in Canon City. George W. White
head made his way to the state cap
itol Tuesday there to confess per-
jury and plead for the liberty of his
brother. R. L. Whitehead, who Is
serving a life sentence for the mur-
der of Wiley Lindsey, of Caddoa.
/. Exhausted, he staggered through the
door leading to the office of the gov-
ernor's private secretary and fell
fainting into the arms of Messenger
Jackson
bays Are Numbered.
George Whitehead is in the last
stages of consumption. His days are
numbered. He did not want to go
down to the grave with the burden
Of lies and perjury on him and, by
final. supreme effort, journeyed to
Denver.
The Whitehead case was the last
upon the list. The secretary's office
was filled with people who were there
to give their testimony in behalf of
relatives and friends of convicts.
Jackson carried the visitor to
lounge. There the invalid lay gasping
and he had every appearance of a
dying man.
Prays for Strength.
"ohl My God! My Cod" he pray
ed, his hands clasped, DO not let
me die until have told them that
my brother is innocent"
A physician was summoned from
the office OF the state board of health
and restoratives were given White
head. He slowly revived and asked,
for PHYS sake alone, that he be CIV
en- a hearing.
When informed Of the desperate
condition of the petitioner Governor
Shafroth suggested that the case be
advanced on the list and be heard
FIRST This was agreed to. after some
discussion by the board, and White
head was assisted into the governors
private office. where the board was
in executive session.
Lies Sent Brother to Pen.
"It was because perjured myself"
said Whitehead. who, too weak to
stand, lay back in one of the big,
soft chairs. that my brother is in
the penitentiary for life. thought
that by telling lies that could clear
myself Of suspicion Of the murder Of
Wiley Lindsey. There was plot to
convict us. lied and made a failure
of 1t, because my lies merely tangled
up the evidence in such a way as
to convince the jury that my brother
was guilty"
Retribution for his perjury has
fallen heavily upon George White
head. From the time he told false
stories In court his health began to
fail until he is merely the shell OF
human being. His sunken chest.
hollow cheeks, glittering eyes and
his staggering gait tell that the hand
Of death soon will seize him.
