Federal Court Took Up Cunningham
Case on Wednesday
On Wednesday in Denver the trial of
John R. Cunningham, who is charged
with embezzling and misappropriating
nearly $4,000 of the funds Of the FIRST
National bank Of this city. was begun in
the United States court after the defense
had vainly tried to secure stay of pro-
ceedines.
Thomas Ward. Jr., attorney for Cum
ningham. on Monday had filed an appli-
cation for bill of particulars. He in
sisted that it was necessary in making
the proper defense that he should know
each item OF the charges. The applica-
ton was denied by Judge Lewis. The
attorney then filed demurrer to the in
dictments. which was overruled and the
case was set for trial on Wednesday.
The defendant is held upon seven in
dictments. in each of which he is liable to
from five to twenty years Imprisonment
An the federal penitentiary.
According to the special assistant at
torney general. who is prosecuting the
case. and who spent the latter part Of
the week IN this city perfeoting his case.
the evidence will all be in and the case
be disposed Of by the federal court today.
unless the defense springs an unlooked d
for surprise.
Amongst the witnesses from this city
who left for Denver on Tuesday, in re-
sponse to tho subpoenas served upon
them. were Humphrey Best. John Van
Horne. Chas. Rocker. w. L. jackson. Mrs.

succulcnt growth is not likely to be
as hardy as normal growth. Wood
from young trees which have not
borne fruit should not be used unless
the variety is known positively, for
sometimes trees turn out to be some
other variety than that which was
ordered.
If any individual tree produces
fruit of extra good color or quality
fur that variety, it is commonly sup
Losed that cions from that tree will
do the same. There is considerable
toubt, however. as to whether these
characters are inherent or are simply
acquired through favorable environ
ment and will disappear with change
II environment. At any rate. there
is no harm in taking cions from trees
which produce the best fruit.
After the twigs are cut off. they
should be buried either on the north
side Of some building where drainage
is good or in sand in the cellar, and
not allowed to become wet or dry. but
kept moist and cool through the VIM
ter.
II cions of more than one variety
are to be cut. be very careful to keep
them in separate bundles and tied
with good strong cord that will not
come off easily after being buried
through the winter. And, above all
label carefully with the name of the
variety and, ii SO desired. the date
when cut, the source and any addi-
tional record you desire to keep.

IMPORTANT
- : CONFERENCE
Of Legislators and Southern
Colorado Associations
WILL BE HELD IN
PUEBLO TOMORROW
Most Important Matter to Be Dis
cussed VIII Be Protection Of
colorado'o Water

Tomorrow, Saturday, Dec. IA. rep
resentatives from the various COM
mercial associations in southern Col
orado, all the newly elected members
of the legislature from this part of
the state. the newly elected state Of
fcials, senators and members of con-
gress together with newspaper repre-
sentatives from southern Colorado
sections and county commissioners
will hold joint conference in Pu-
eblo.
The object of the meeting is to full
ly discuss and consider matters OF
legislation. that will especially affect
southern Colorado. and arrive at some
definite and set plan of operation
when the legislature meets mex,
month.
In the evening big banquet will
be arranged by the Pueblo Commerce
club at one of the hotels. This will
be a spread such as has not before
been given at a Pueblo affair, and the
delegates of the day will gather
around the banquet table i'll the even
ing. All arrangements for this por-
ton of the affair is in the hands of
the Commerce club, but it promises
not only swell feed but many prom
inent men on the speaking program.
The opportunities of this meeting
and its importance to the people OF
this section has been brought out by
the action of the supreme court that
on Monday sustained State Auditor
Lcddy in refusing to issue warrants
against what isk nown as the defense
fund appropriation.
Mr. Leddy- in declining to issue
warrants against this fund took the
position that the legislature in making
the appropriation for the defense fund
had no right to delegate the expendi-
ture of that fund to committee of
its own members.
The court opinion sustains Mr..
Leddy in every contention and holds
that the legislature has the right to
make appropriations for the defense
OF ;he water right of the state. but
that these appropriations must be ex-
pended through the regular executive
department and not through ia COM
nittee of legislators.
The last general assembly appro-
priated $4,000 to be used as de-
fense fund. At present there are a
number of suits instituted either by
corporations, other states or the fed
eral government all of which foi
their object the prevention oi the
use of water in Colorado for irriga-
tion in this state.
1t was for thep urpose of defending
Colorado's right in these suits that
the state legislature made the appro-
priation of $4,000.
The supreme court decision shows
that the state has now lost two years
in its fight to control its own waters
by reasons of the political mixup that
was on two years ago between Gov
ernor Shafroth and his general assem-
bly,.

RUTH.
She stood breast-high amid the
corn,
CIasped by the golden light of
morn,
Like the sweetheart of the sun,
Who. many glowing kiss had won.
On her cheek an autumn flush,
Deeply ripen'd-such blush
In the midst of brown was born,
Like red poppies grown with corn.
Round her eyes her tresses fell,
Which were blacklist none could
tell,
But long lashes veird a light
That had else been all too bright.
And her hat, with shady brim,
Made her tressy forehead dim;
Thus she stood amid the stocks.
Praising God with sweetest looks.
Sure, l said, heav'n did not mean,
Where I reap thou shouldst but
CLEAN;
Lay thy sheaf adown and come,
Share my harvest and my home.
