Showing the finest assortment
Of agricultural products, together
with a goodly array of livestock,
and fine apiary and horticultural
displays, Otero county was award
ed the grand sweepstakes prize
over all counties at the State Fair
in Pueblo last week. Because of
having a larger showing of man
ufactured products, horses, cattle,
fruits and garden truck Pueblo
county had a sufficient number of
points to win the sweepstakes, but
t Ii e exhibitors magnanimously
agreed to relinquish their appar-
ent right to the award and left it
to be contested for by outside
counties represented at the fair,
and as Otero county was far ahead
of all others and close second to
Pueblo it was awarded the honor.
Altogether there were SS exhib-
its placed by Otero county, of
which 81 were by individuals and
one by h e Otero Agriculture
al Club. OF the individuals 9. Il.
Burke captured the largest numb
er of premiums with his herd of
Duroc Jersey hogs, and in the
apiary department the Rocky Ford
exhibitors captured every prize
axcepting 2 seconds, as follows:
Mrs. Hannah Swink Conner, 10
firsts, 6 seconds; b. w. Hopper,
Z first, Z second; +. M. Kain, l
first, 5 second. For cantaloupes
Hart and Brown with their Victor
brand captured first prize for best
crate, making three years in sue
cession that this variety of melon
has received the state honors. They
also-with the Victor-were given
the first prize for best six canta-
loupe5 OF any variety.
The Otero Agricultural Club
took ~ first premiums and about
an equal number of seconds, and
the exhibit was conceded by every
one to be the finest agricultural
display ever shown i'll Colorado,
and by many it was declared to be
the best ever seen in the Western
States.
The superiority and great vari-
ETY. of the clubs exhibit was effec-
lively shown by the capture of n
handsome loving cup bearing the
following inscription:

This cup, together with the big
Hearst trophy and governors cup,
fianked by the imposing array of
blue and red ribb9ns won at the
State Fair, has this week been
drawing admiring glances to the
show window of the Rexall drug
store, but about tomorrow it is
likely that the display will start
on circuit of state fairs and it
may be that other cups will be
added before its return.
Many requests have been rece.
ived by the club for a showing of
their big exhibit at different fairs
and festivals. and according to the
present itinerary Farmer Kerney
and the Otero Agricultural Club
exhibit will leave tomorrow for

kidney trouble. Of none Of these ru-
mors was there the slightest verih-

tried to leap from a high window
when she learned how seriously her

Princess Henry ARE nursing hlm per-

From the fact that prayers are be-
ing offered in all the churches for
the patients recovery, it was believed

The Diaz followers who, shut up IN
the Vera Cruz barracks, were refus-
ing last night to surrender, were not
regarded as a serious obstacle in the
way of The restoration of peace,
since they were even trying to es-
cape.
Colonel Diaz OrdaZ, Diaz's cousin,
who joined him with his federal COM
mand at the outset of the uprlsl ~
had not been captured when Vera
Craz was last heard fFcm, bu5 de-
tachment of federal troops was On

expected that he had been made prs
oner.

officer shot in the leg when the gov
ernment forces entered Vera Cruz,

Waiting For The Verdict.

New York, Oct. 24.-The tate OF
Police Lieut. Charles Becker, is IN
the hands of the jury.
At precisely 1876 o'clock Justice
Golf concluded his charge to the II
men who are to pronounce the de-
fendant guilty of the murder OF gamb-
Ter Herman Rosenthal,ar declare hint
innocent and give him back his free
dom.
Tne charge was long, and was made
in an even passionless voice,but those
who heard it seemed impressed with
its justice and fairness. And from it
the jury has little chance of other
than returning a verdict of guilty Of
murder in the first degree or one
freeing the defendant entirely.

Rose Bruno was decoyed to the lone
ly roadway outside of stratforad and
slain as a warning to other white
slaves who might hope to rebel
AGAINST their masters seemed GER
tain today. The police admittedly do
not believe that the story told by her
confessed slayer Chicago Joe" Buo-
nomo, is the truth. He told half a
dozen conflicting stories since his ar
rest, but the police say the woman
before fleeing from Chicago, gave
information against slavers there and
that this was the direct cause OF her
murder.
