give such a party will accumulate
fine assortment of hens. Then
when the others follow with similar
showers, there will be gradual
switching of the hens around until
every fellow has got good stock
and is just about where he started
with possibly few fresh eggs to the
good.

The County Commercial club on
Tuesday afternoon went on record as
endorsing the road bill now before
the general assembly, introduced by
Representative Madden. Judge Brad
field, who helped to draw the meas
ure, addressed the Club in the after
noon on its provisions and urged
that every effort be made to secure
the passage of the measure. Like
other bills affecting Weld county,
the provisions of this were not gen.
orally known to the members of the
Commercial club. Good roads gen.
orally were endorsed by the meeting.
A committee was appointed to
look into the matter of bringing here
the Amish colony in Illinois that was
planning on coming West. An ef-
fort is being made to get the colony
to settle at Limon, Colo. but 1t is
believed that better inducements
can be made for them in Weld. So
far as known the colonists would
make most desirable class of citi-
zens.
A request was formulated to the
county commissioners asking that a
new road be constructed from Fort
Lupton to Hudson or that the pres
ent road be put into good repair.

PLEADS GUILTY IN DENVER
UNITED STATES COURT
HIS COMPANIONS ARE Held
Greeley Authorities are Wondering
Over Action Of Government In
Handling Bootlegging Cases
in Dry Territory

Will Slusser, one of the three al
legged bootleggers from this county
who were taken to Denver to ap-
pear before the United States court,
is now immune from further pros
ecution by the government. AT the
hearing before United States Com
missioner Hinsdale, he pleaded
guilty and was allowed to take out
government license for the sale
of liquors. He now enjoys the dis
tinction of being one of the very few
residents of Weld county having
a permit from the government to
sell whiskey in the dry territory.
The two men taken to Den
yer with Slusser pleaded not guilty
and were bound over to appear be-
fore the Federal grand jury that
meets in Pueblo in April. If true
bill is found against them they will
be tried before the United States
court. Meanwhile in default of bond
they are being held in Jail awaiting
trial.
The city authorities of Greedy are
now wondering If the law governing
| bootlegging is all that it should be.
All three of these men were convict
ed in Greeley on the same evidence,
but it has developed that the one of
the trio who was able to pay for q
license was allowed to go on the
strength of making his peace with
Uncle Sam in this way. The other
two will have to remain in Jail at
least until the grand jury passes
upon their cases and even then may
not be liberated.
Meanwhile Slusser has a govern
ment license and his freedom, being
immune from government prosecu-
ton for selling liquor in Weld
county.
