day at a friends house. one of the
guests observed that 1t was impos.
sible that the natives of Abyssinia

table, and before long returned from
the kitchen with piece of raw beef
steak. peppered and salted in the
Abyssinian fashion. Placing this in
front OF the guest who had doubted
his word. he said: "Sir. you will eat
that or fight me-" The guest pre-
ferred the former alternative. there

PROSECUTION IS READY
CONTINUED from Page one)

By having to repeat the number Of
each case and the name of the de-
fendant each time.
Nearly every man called had
hoard the case discussed. In the
case of one man it developed that he
had heard a grand juryman talk of
the sessions of that body and had
formed an opinion that he declared
would take considerable evidence to
ct aside. Several jurors admitted
taht they had formed opinions, but
whether favorable or against the
accused did not develop.
The challenges from both sides
came more rapidly as the day pro-
gressed and it became more appar-
ent that the panel probably would be
exhausted. The number of chal-
1enges allowed in each case, total
ing 1870, for each side, apparently
will not be too many.
Practically all of the men exam
ined had read of the case in the
newspapers and heard it discussed.
Only a limited proportion of the
Jurors called knew the defendant
personally. Some said that they had
never seen Mr.. Estes to their know
ledge until he faced them in the
court room.

Estes sits in the court room, d.
rectly behind his attorney, II. E.
Churchill. He is silent but keen
observer of the proceedings. So far,
he is leaving the conduct
of the trial absolutely in the hands
of his attorney.
The crowd in the court room
waned toward the close of the day
but those who remained were alert
to the adjournment.
A new element entered into the
examination of jurymen when Mr.
Churchill late in the Afternoon asked
one juror il he had ever heard of a
lumber trust" in the west. The
juror admitted that he had, but de-
MED being member. He said that
he had heard such an organization
existed. The next juror was excused
after admitting that he had heard OF
such an organization that existed in
Weld county.
Some in the court room received
the impression that such an organi-
cation might come into the trial in
some manner.

History Of the Cases

Nearly a year ago the taxpayers
OF the county began to protest
against the high taxes and there
were allegations made that the
board Of county commissioners had
been handling the county funds
recklessly. 1t was charged that the
L-aSalle bridge contract was weight
ed down with graft and that the
money expended on county roads
was not bringing value received.
An Indignation meeting of taxpay-
ers was held, to which the county
commissioners were invited A pre-
vious meeting of the Commercial
club to discuss tax question resulted
in packed meeting at which moth
ing was done. When the taxpayers
did not get a chance to ask the
county commissioners any questions
they appointed committee OF three
consisting OF A. l.. Mumper, ]. Max
Clark and r. w. Bullock to investi-
gate the county expenditures.
A partial report of this commit
tee was far from reassuring. They
said that the LaSalle bridge, Just
completed, had cost about twice
what it should have cost.
A grand jury was talked and
finally called by the district court
There were six republicans and six
democrats on the jury After MANY
weeks OF work the grand Jury re-
/ ported. finding indictments against
four men. One of the accused
