Formal Opening
 A Grand Success
(From Tuesdays Examiner)

(From Tuesdays Examiner)
 The new Teller theatre was formal ly opened last night to road shows, and the occasion was one of the larg est audiences of representative pep pie ever seen ill Yuma.
 The play was '"The Barrier" dra- matization of Rex Beacn's famous novel, and certainly the play and players were ali that could be desired.
 Undoubtedly it was the strongest and best dramatic organization that has ever stopped in Yuma, and from the time of the opening until the close of the fourth act, the interest never bated, so individually good was each member of the cast,
 The company also carries a wealth of scenery for it's own production, and even the minutest detail has been so well covered by the strong organiza- ton that thAre was not a flaw to 0e found in the play or Tn the SuperD act ing of each and every memRer of the cast.
 And the audience was representa-. tive of all that is best in Yuma. Al were there and all went away we'll sat isfied not only with the show, but with the new theatre as well.
 And in passing it is only fair to toss an oratorical bouquet at the house or chestra under the management of Prof. Y. C. EscObar
 The music was not the least of th> enjoyments of the evening, and Mgr Teller is certainly to be congratulated on his new theatre.
 Next Monday night the Teller will offer Busby's famous negro minstrels.

Outdoor Services

Pastors who are disturbed over the
light attendance at their churches
during hot weather might take leaf
from the experience Of certain minis.
ters 10 the east, who have found 1t
profitable In towns Of moderate size
to unite and hold the evening services
In the town park. Many people who
would not go and sit 10 hot, uncom-
Portable church would willingly attend
an outdoor meeting. La Junta is try.
Ing out this plan with marked sue.
cess. The idea Is at least worthy Of
consideration. 1t may not be amiss
to recall the fact that the great Mas.
ter did practically all OF His preaching
in the open air. His present day mes.
sengers might well profit by His ex-
ample to certain extent.

Sugar BeetS and Soil

A few years ago it was the impress
sion among American farmers that
sugar beets we're soil exhausters, but
that impression has gone to join the
many other exploded theories. The
sugar beet not only does not rob the
soil, but feeds and enriches 1t. Its
roots break into depths that before
were not available for plant produc-
tion. A way is made for moisture to
penetrate, and the roots decaying
make the infertile ground fertile.
Germany and Kansas sowed the
same acreage to wheat in 1907. The
Germans reaped l45, 100000 bushels.
the Kansans 100000. The differ
ence was said to be due to the fact
that the German soil had been fertil-
lied and prepared by rotating other
crops with sugar beets. On sugar beet
land they have averaged 30 bushels to
the acre where before the introduction
of the beet they reaped lOS bushels.
When a thorough system OF rotation
OF crops, with the sugar beet as part,
has been adopted in this country. it is
estimated that Il billion dollars a year
will have been added to the value of
American farm products.

In one OF the best played games OF
the present season Ordway took the
odd game OF series Of three played
this year with the Pueblo Monobats
and again demonstrated that the
home team is Johnny on -the.spot.
When Manager Dave Roth came to
Ordway from Smoketown.by- -Ncpesta
he had his best bunch In tow and en-.
tertained rosy visions OF Juggling home
the breakfast bacon, but when the
final figures were hung up on the
score board he muttered, "Errare est

lated, means, 1--WE all fall down once
In WHILE"
Ketchum, who In this game made
his first appearance on the diamond
for this season, showed that he had
lost none OF his prowess as fielder.
The spectacular feature of the game
was his running one-handed catch OF
high fly in right field, when he turned
complete somersault, but hung on to
the ball, to the great disgust OF one

that he was as good on the receiving

That SugarCity
Fli1n-FlanCase

As mentioned in former issue. this
case was appealed from Police Magis-
trate Aldrich to the county court and
came up for hearing last Friday.
At the risk OF repetition, it Is we'll
to say, originally, Custer and Simmer
were engaged In making u poll OF
Sugar City with the purpose OF To-
eating such voters as would be eligi.
BILE to cast votes on the question OF
location OF the county seat. and their
undertaking, they claim, was justified
by the plainly apparent excessive reg.
istration of that burg for the spring
election (as reportedD and the extrava.
giant claims OF the tOuteEs Of Sugar
dom when they talk county.seat.
In their task they had gotten pretty
well over the west part OF town.
where II there were newly imported
voters whose qualifications were at all
doubtful they might be located. when
they we're arrested on the charge OF
disturbing the peace by disorderly
conduct, and II going from house to
house, calling on the people found and
In a gentlemanly way asking the
names, ages, length OF residence, na-
tivity, ETC., was disorderly conduct
they were guilty. Incidentally, the
police magistrate found them guilty,
fines OF $25 and costs were assessed
and the case was appealed to the
out because the purported original
complaint was not a complaint at all
for the reason that no one had sworn
oft.
Other facts developed at the county
court hearing show that on such film
sy pretext the two defendants were
arrested and the small books In which
was noted the Information they had
obtained we're forcibly taken from
their pockets and passed over to the
Iolice magistrate, who suddenly re-
signed his office and passed the books
to the towns temporary attorney,
who is incidentally deputy district
attorney for this county, and who,
Wien COIupcllcu uy Vic Coui " iCiuSN
tantly answered that he had turned
the books over to District Attorney
Davidson, at Pueblo, at the same
time intimating there was some mys-
terious prosecution contemplated In
which the books might be used as ev.
idence. All this Information was
elected by the court in seeking to find
out why the order to return the books
to the county court had been persist
emily ignored for twenty days. AS
yet the court has made no further
order looking to compelling the pro-
duction OF the books.
1t is incOnceivable that the books
contain any evidence whatever which
would tend to show such men as those
arrested were guilty of any criminal
otfense. Why, then, the proven anxi-
ETY. of those who took and have seen
their contents to keep them out OF
the hands of their proper owners?
We feel sure the district attorney
cannot be fully Informed of all the
circumstances of the TAXI ing and Jug
Cling about of these books since the
order of the court that they be trans
mitted thereto with other papers and
documents in the appeal, or his office
could not be used in such manner.
