A PAY DAY EVERY MONTH.

Mr.. I. A. Fielding of Mancos, Colo.
gentleman Of wide experience ana
college graduate, with five years oil
practical knowledge in the science OF
butter making, has agreed to move his
creamery from Mancos to Durango
providing the wills from 200 cows can
be furnished him at this point within
the next 80 days.
He has agreed to pay for the butter
fat the Denver market price SO soon
as his total output amounts to 5000
pounds of butter per month. When
the output is 5000 pounds per month
he will pay three cents under the
market price; when 1000 pounds per
month, two cents under the market
price, and when 5000 pounds, one
cent under the market price, This is
the price for which creamery butter
sells at wholesale. II should be easy
to obtain the milk from 200 cows in
the territory tributary to Durango ut
once, and we are asking you that you
let us know the namber Of cows
which you are milking, and will be
milking the rest CT the winter, also
taking the matter up with your neigh
bors, who may be in position to fur
nish cream. This offers an exception
al opportunity to get rid of the dam
aged hay at very good price, as it
should net from S12 to SIS per ton in
the form Of cream after paying for
the labor Of handling the cows, etc.
This matter is of great importance
to all the farmers in this territory.
There is shipped into Durango be-
tween 100000 and $4,000 worth of
buttor per year, and we want to see
this money stay right hero in the COM
munity, and see no reason why it
should not do so. This amount of
money put into circulation in the
amounts in which it will be distributed
and to the number of people who re-
eeive it win mean a great difference
IN the prosperity of the community.
The dairy country Is always a rich

ISAM TRULY REPEATS
s STORY OF SHOOTING

When the district court opened this
morning the cross-examination of
Sam TRULY was resumed by Attorney
Russell
Yesterday afternoon Sam told the
jury the story of the killing of his
brother, insubstantially the same way
he had told it at the coroners in
quest, but as our readers may have
forgotten it, we will here callatten-
ton to few of the many points in
his story.
On Sunday, the 10th day of last
April, Sam and Will TRULY had a
first fighe with Ike Cox and a man
named Burrows. On the following
Sunday Sam and Will together with
two other men were trying to pull
one of their cows out of the Florida
river, and finding that the cow was
stuck pretty fast they started home
on horseback to get a team. Will
TRULY took a short trail for the road
and Sam took a long one, the other
two men going in another direction.
When Sam struck the road he saw Ike
Cox and his brother Will had met and
the three rode on down the road to-
gether. Ike Cox called Sam a foul
name, to which Sam objected and Cox
dIew revolver and commenced shoot
ing. He killed Will TRULY the first
shot, but the report of his pistol caus-
ed Sans horse to plunge and thus
the three bullets which Cox fired at
Sam missed him. One Of the bullets
vents through his hat, one struck his
saddle horn, and one hit his horse in
the leg as he was riding away. Cox
did not pursue him very far, but
turned and rode toward Durango, and
Sam rode down to Bondad switch,
where he borrowed a gun from a
friend and started after Cox. That
in brief was Sans story, and the
cros-examination did not seem to
change it in any material points.
The other witnesses called today
were Joe Smith, John NJ. Rhodes and
two Greek section men, who covered
Will Truby's body with blanket
shortly after he was shot. The sec
tion men said they saw Sam TRULY
ride after Cox, and Rhodes said he
saw Sam shoot at him after he
crossed the bridge over the Animas on
his way to town. Many questions
were asked the witnesses about the
roads and the lay of the country,
where the shooting tok place, and as
we. go to press Engineer Tiffany, who
was engaged to make map of the
place is explaining it to the jury.

Meyer, secretary of the navy, in his

that while seeking peace and playing
a leading part in the movement for
general arbitration treaties the world
must understand that America is pre-
pared for war. The short life of a
warship, for the first or second line of
defense, approximately is only 20
years and this has caused the secre-
tary to ask for more ships this year.
Not to increase the navy but to main
tain it at it's existing strength. This
strength is being diminished by elm
ination from active service of battle
ships constructed for the navy in the
