5000 ACRES
ARE SIGNED
FOR KERSEY
PROMISING BEET ACREAGE FOR
INDEPENDENT FACTORY RE-
PORTED BY COMMITTEE-DR.
GLOVER TALKS HORSE

Kersey, June with many
ladies present. the Commercial club
held the largest meeting of the year
last night in Woodman hall. DR..
Glover of Fort Collins was the prin-
cipal speaker. His subject was.
1.-THE Horse and It's Diseases" He
mentioned the different diseases the
horse 10 susceptible to and called
attention to the various poisonous
weeds which the animal is liable to
eat. DR.. Glover told how to treat
the diseases the horses would con-
tract In this district. The talk was
beneficial and the farmers went
away with the idea that the old
faithful plough horse might still do
little more work. and that the
automobile had not yet supplanted
the four footed animal in service.
r. A. Dix. chairman Of the COM
mittee to obtain promises OF acre
age for the Independent sugar fac
tory reported that the farmers were
glad to sign as many acres as able.
When the committee started out
last week to secure signatures they
met with great results and as a re-
suit OF Its efforts showed that
5000 acres had been signed up this
week.
Mr.. Dix was appointed chairman
OF the committee to meet with the
Farmers Union and Ward barley
soon to discuss new plans in regard
to the Independent sugar factory.
Mr. Dix said, THE farmers are
willing to pledge their acres to the
new project and see tn 1t they will
be benefited by the new under
taking. Some Of the farmers are
signing up 100 acres and we have
never secured any less than 10
acres"

BIG CUTTING
Of ALFALFA
ABOUT READY
WELL POSTED MAN SAYS FIRST
CUTTING WILL BE LARGER
YIELD THAN ALL LAST YEAR.
OTHER CROPS PROMISING

The. first cutting of alfalfa in
Weld county, due In a few days will
net more tons Of hay to the acre
than last years entire crop. So
says A. L. Mumper, real estate oper-
ator and farmer, one. of the best
posted men in Weld county on crop
conditions.
Mr.. Mumper's statement was
made after having recently covered
a large part of the county. Plenty
Of moisture is largely responsible
for the pleasing outlook. aided by an
almost total absence Of grasshop-
pers. The beet crop has been in
jured in some sections by cut
worms. but as a whole. is in excel
lent shape. Small grain. except in
the vicinity of Highlandlake, is
promising. Over there. it is said.
cut worms have done considerable
damage. A few more hot days and
the cut worms will have shrivelled
up and gone the way of all bad bugs.
Potato planting is well toward COM
pletion. but the acreage is much
less than last years planting, due
in part to the scarcity and high cost
of seed. and in part to the timidity
of farmers in risking too much on
the crop after last years bitter ex-
pcirence.
Mrs. W. W. 1.orimer came in
from Briggsdale this morning bring
ing with her samples of winter rye
from the Chicago ranch, in the dry
land country. The samples brought
were over three feet high. and we're
not selected from the exceptional.
rather. were fair average of the
whole so acres. Wheat, she says
looks fine.

MAYOR MAYAER
WANTS A GATE

Mayor Mayher has an idea. Moth
ing new about that. He has had
several since he was installed as
chief officer of this municipality.
This latest idea of the mayor.
however. is along a new line. He
has seen and admired the beau
tiful northeast entrance of the col
lege, left as a memento Of the class
Of '12, and he thinks a similar ap-
proach to Island Grove park would
set off the growing beauties of that
playground and be somewhat in
keeping with the other improve
ments made and to be made there
But how to get is is what's
bothering the mayor.
There isn't any graduating class
to be touched, and he thinks it q
bit too extravagant to saddle the
expense onto the city just now, but
he wants that gate worse than 9
coon wants water melon in Aug.
ust. So he is open to any sugges
tion for raising the wherewithal
Such structure as he bankers fol
would cost about $1,000. That il
about 25 cents for each adult resi-
dent of Greeley. II that airshil
had flown,-but 1t didn't. 1t ma!
be that the Tribune will have to pu
on another "Piper" stunt to hell
the mayor out. Anyway, his ide,
is a good one, and there ought to b'
some way to raise the money neede'
to carry it out. II anybody has al
idea on the subject, he can talk t.
Mr.. Mayher, or can call up the Tri
bune and relieve himself.

The little boy started to follow

which is only two feet deep. The

FEW HOURS LATER

Bripssdale, June 4.-When Will
lam Marr and wife returned from n
drive Sunday they found their new
home burned to the ground. The
origin of the fire Is unknown. The
loss is $4,000.
The couple left for drive at 10
O'Clock and while returning from a
neiehbor's 10 miles away noticed
smoke in the distance but thought
nothing OF it. AS they topped the
rise overlooking their home, they
saw neighbors gathered around a
heap of charred timbers. all that re-
mained of a five room cottage built
this spring.
Mr.. Marr said that he had NO
enemies that he was aware Of and
could not explain the origin OF the
blaze. my wife put out the fire
in the kitchen stove before We left
on the drive" said Mr.. Marr. 'and I
remember at the time that ! felt the
top of the range and 1t was cold as
ice."
Neighbors were attracted by the
blaze at $3.50, but as tho nearest
farmer is two miles distant, they
were unable to reach the burning
house intime to save any fufni-
ture.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mari are staying at
the home Of a neighbor. Mr.. Mari
has fine $50 acre farm and had
only been in his new home two

P|EL JURY
AGREED ON
A VERDICT
GUILTY OF MANSI4AUGHTEN
THEY SAY, AFTER ~ HOURS
Lookup CONSIDERING EVI-
DENCE AND WAITING

The Jury in the case OF Fred Piei'
on trial for the second time on the
charge o. numbering George keroer'
October "a, 1909. reported last
night after having been out for -
tours. They found the deferda"'
guilty of manslaughter. The penal
~ for this is from one to eight years
wears in the penitentiary.
ohe jury made its finding yestsr-
day morning, but owing to the aD-
sence of Judge Mccall, no report
was made until $3.50 O'CLOCK last
night. There were but few IN the
court room when the court convened
and the ceremony required but le"
minutes.
1t was belived by many that the
verdict would be an acquittal Tor
Piel. who, at his first trial nearly
three years ago, was found guilty
of murder in the first degree and
the penalty was fixed at death by
the jury. The supreme court re-
viewed the testimony and in writ
ten opinion censuring the first trial
allowed Piel another chance In
court. For more than two years
the defendant was in the very
shadow of the gallows. He has been
a prisoner at the state penitentiary
where he has improved his oppor-
tunities. He learned the English
language and has done what he
could toward making himself use
full citizen. His young wife and two
baby boys awaited the outcome OF
his second trial hopeful that he
would be freed.
Sentence was not pronounced by
Judge Mccall last night. Ten days
were allowed for motion for
new trial.
Disinterested citizens were res
ponsible for the rehearing of the
case. After the first trial, when
Piel, German-Russian peasant,
had but little chance. owing to his
lack of knowledge of the language
of his adopted country and OF court
procedure, the verdict appeared to
be a palpabie miscarriage OF justice,
a plea was made to the governor to
stay the execution until he should
have fair show.
Former County Attorney r. E.
Winbourn defended Piel at the trial
that closed last night. 1t is not
probable that a motion for a new
trial will be made, as the maximum
sentence is less than four times what
Piel has served already. Prominent
attorneys who have watched the
progress of the last trial prophesy
that the court in passing sentence
VIII consider the time that Piel has
served already and will also take
into consideration his wife and
babies In addition to his conduct in
prison.
