ARRANGING FOR
PRODUCE EXHIBITS
Agricultural Club and Com.
mercial Association
WILL SHOW WHAT
CAN BE RAISED
In Otero County and the Arkansas
Valley - Committees Are
Actively at Work

The Otero Agricultural club held
the special meeting Saturday at the
factory meeting room, and very
large attendance was present, show
ing the general interest taken in the
county exhibit being planned by these
members of the farmers club. The
committee consisting of J. w. Ed
gar, d. l.. Joehnck and c. V. Ryan
got very good start for the first
week, and a show collection of grains
greeted the club when they visited
the warehouse at the factory where
the exhibit is being put together by
w. w. Kearney. Mr.. Kearney, it
will be remembered, gathered and
mounted the winning Otero county
exhibit for last year, when such
cleaning" was made about the state
and east, and his record is such that
he is hard to beat.
There were lots of things planned
by the Otero Club at the meeting Sat
urday that they are not saying thing
about, but one thing is certain, when
number of prominent farmers get
after a proposition like an exhibit. and
decided to put one up, you can be
sure that Otero county is going to
be represented about A No. with all
the frills, for that is what they are
planning on.
Manager Noble has turned over the
sugar warehouse for use in mounting
any exhibits, should the committee
care to use it, and it is quite probable.
that If the plans made are carried out.
this building will be the scene OF
much activity during the few ensuing
weeks between now and fair time.
If the plans OF the Exhibit commit
tee of the Arkansas Valley CONNER
cial association are carried out. this
section OF the country will be well
represented in the Colorado train that
is being planned by the State Immi-
grafton Board to tour the middle
western states, exhibiting products of
this section for advertising purposes.
Frederick Noble, manager of the To-
cal American Beet Sugar Co. factory,
is chairman of this important commit
tee of the association, and at the meet
ing held in Pueblo last week it was
decided to go ahead with the plans,
in case the train was run the. valley
would be in a position to send car
load exhibit, and make it an effective
one. The committee that met in Pu-
eblo consisted OF Frederick Noble.

PRESBYTERIANS PICNIC
Sunday School Outing Is a
Gala Affair

The Presbyterian Sunday school had
its annual picnic last Tuesday in Roberts
grove, about three miles north Of town.
The call was made for the youngsters to
be at the church at $3.50 a. M. but by
$3.50 boys and girls were waiting for the
wagons.
At 10 o'clock the start was made,
there being five large hay racks lined with
scholars of all ages. Another wagon was
used for the grub" wagon, with tables.
ETC., and a water tank as trailer. Then
came bugges and carriages, autos and
motorcycles.
In all more than two hundred attended
and soon after arrival at the grounds
they all lined up for an old-fashioned
picnic feast which was ample to satisfy
the hungriest boy present. This delight
full performance was repeated at o'clock
when the watermelon pile furnished by
]. E. Lawson was attacked and soon the
grounds resembled the latter the feast
photographs.
The sports" were all there, for base
ball game between the married men and
bachelors brought out numerous star
players, but A. Latson and Fred John
ston had them all beat mile,
There were swings galore and ham,
mocks and best of all the river with its
wide sandy beach for wading. This last
was the most popular entertainment oil
the day, as there were few who did moi
enjoy wading in the warm waters of the
Arkansas.
The day was one of the most pleasant
holidays the school has ever enjoyed.

excel.
The days festivities were started with
a grand parade, in which were floats de-
pictng the various business places Of

county seat-and the chief industries of
the new county.
After the parade came the talkfest

Junta Democrat of Aug. 5, which
said: "Henry's contention is an
insult to the people of this coun-
ty. What could be gained by
such a move is beyond us. Any
jury would hang Harris: it
makes little difference where he is
present or where he is tried, the
same fate awaits him. No man
be he white or black, can willfully
shoot two men, put up plea of
self-defense and get off. We
don't believe the judge ON the
bench believes in any such foolish
ness and we don't believe he will
grant, change of venue. The
motion is an insult to the people
of this county and Henry will
have fewer friends than ever
after making such break as
this"
Henry claims that as an officer
of the court it was his duty to dc
all in his power to secure fair
and impartial trial for his clients.
He cited an instance of a Pueblo
Judge who short time ago fined
a newspaper editor for similar
offense; said he did not ask the
court to fine this editor, but intro
duced the clipping to show the
feeling of the people regarding
the case, Mr.. McCauley had also
made an affidavit that the people
of Otero county were not prejudic.

fair and impartial trial in this
county. Henry rididuled this
statement.
John Davidson, district attorney
and his assistant, A. p. Wallis, re
sisted the change of venue ant
brought forward aflidavits from 81
prominent citizens of Otero coun
ty; q from Rocky Ford, six o.

brated Crowley day by administering two

joyful fact that at the morning service
pledges were secured that will erase the

The trials of Bob Harris and
his parents. Joseph and Clara
Harris, were commenced in dis
trict court at La Junta on Mon
day morning before Judge Essex.
As the trio had already been in
dlcted on the charge of killing
Marshal J. B. Craig, direct in-
formation was ON Monday filed
against them and they were in
dicted for the killing of Night
Marshal Ripper, to which they
pleaded not guilty.
The court room was crowded to
almost suffocation at the opening
hour, and each session of the
court has witnessed the same large
throng, the citizens of Rocky
Ford being present in large num-
bers.
A phase in the Harris trial
that has never before been en-
countered in Colorado cropped up
Monday morning, when it was
. learned that the creating of the
new county of Crowley eliminated
more than half of the jurors i'm
paneled. The greater part of the
morning was consumed in dis
charging those jurors who lived in
Ordway, Sugar City and in the
new county, and it was found
necessary to call a special venire
of 80 men to.fiil the panel.
Attorney Lyman 1. Henry, ,coun'
sci for the defense, made strong
plea for change of venue from
Otero county, claiming that the
defendants could not obtain fail
and impartial trial in this county
He supported this by number O
newspaper clipping from papers o
Rocky Ford and La Junta, IL
which editorials had appeared
commenting on the peoples view
point regarding the case. The
petition was further supported by
affidavits from three citizens o
Rocky Ford: w. Blinn, L. w
Larmore and j. A. Ball, who swor'
they did not believe the defendant
could obtain fair and impartia
trial in Otero county.

ceed in this county.
Between rs and so jurors-3O
of whom had been summoned from
their homes in Fowler by Sheriff
Potter after midnight on Monday
were present when court opened
on Tuesday morning, and from
these the jury was finally accepted
about 2 o'clock in the afternoon,
after the state had used 5 pre-
emptory challenges and the de-
fense IL.
Following is the jury, IL of
whom are from Fowler and one,
the first on the list, from LaJ Junta:
William Siscus, Santa Fe shop
man; J. w. Lawler, carpenter;
Robert Farlow, laborer; d. l..
McPhilmey, retired farmer; @. g.

farmer: j. w. Maxy, blacksmith !;
J. G. Burch, photographer; d. L.,
Carol, liveryman; J. NJ. Magee,
laborer; Charles Nc Kinley, farm
er; w. H. LaShier, gardner.
After the jury was sworn, John
Davidson, district attorney, made
his statement. The charge against
Bob Harris was made up of two
which had been consolidated and
he was tried ou them jointly for
the killing of J. b. Craig and
Jacob Ripper. Davidson claimed
the state would show that on the
night of July 4, at the Harris res
idence in Rocky Ford, the defend
ant caused disturbance and, on
complaint of the neighbors, the
two marshals came to the door,
and Ripper attempted to arrest
Bob Harris while Craig kept his
man covered with a revolver.
The father, Joe Harris slipped
up behind the night marshal, con-
tinued the attorney, and hit him
over the head with a chair, and
the mother, Clara Harris, hit the
day marshal on the temple with an
empty beer bottle, stunning him.
Bob Harris then grabbed Craig's
gun and shot him, from the.effects
of which he died a few minntes
later, and then shot Ripper, who
died in st. Joseph's hospital at
Denver, July II. Kipper's dying
statement was introduced and
identified, but not read. The
district attorney said the highest
decree of murder penalty would
be asked.
Judge Henry of Pueblo, counsel
for the defense, made his state
ment to the jury, claiming the
Harris family were at their home
the night of July 4, and while
there was loud talking, it was of
no Importance; but the officers
came to the door, broke in and
dubbed the inmates over the head
with revolvers. In the scutfie
which ensued a revolver was dis
charged, the bullet hitting Craig
and causing his death, and in a
further scuflle a shot hit Ripper,
which eventually resulted in his
death; that the Harris family
were acting in self-defense, and
defending their home which had
been broken into without cause.
The first witness called was l..
P. Barbour, the physician to whom
Ripper went the night of the
shooting. He testified that Kip
per was shot through the jaw,
and that he was put under the
X-ray for examination. Later
Ripper was taken to Denver, again
put under the X-ray, the examina-
ton being followed by the opera
ton, from the effects of which he
did not recover. He identified
the statement introduced as Kip
per's dying statement.
