PERFECTING PLAN s
Poultry and Live Stock to Re Feat tured-Sh0w Owners Make Az.
 plications For Space.

The work of arranging the details for the big agricultural live stock and poultry show to be held in Pine Bluff for one week beginning Octo- Der 2S and ending November 2, is progressing. Already assurances have been received that a large number of breeders of high class stock will make exhibits and number of far mers from different points in Jeifer- son county called at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday and assured the secretary that they would bring the best of their stock to the fair, though the indifferent season will prevent the exhibition of as good a grade of stock as is usually raised.
 The poultrymen are making the strongest preparations of all, this be- ing the occasion of the fourth annual show of the Jefferson County Poultry Association. More than $1,500 ill cash premiums have been offered for collec- tions besides the usual prizes and it is already assured that the exnibl- tion will be larger than any pfeVl- ously held. A feature of this exhlbl- tion will be an egg laying contest of different breeds, ten yards of birds probably participating, with three prizes offered for the winners. This contest will be conducted under the supervision of A. G. Russell, who will also arrange to have small colony houses of simple design in each of the yards Mir. Russell, who already has a large flock of capons, will give daily exhibitions in caponizing. The practi- cal features of poultry raising will be made especially prominent.
 The secretary has received word from the Southwestern Passenger As sociation to the effect that special rates had been recommended to the lines interested for the event, tickets being good going on October 26. r, 2S, 29. 30 and 31, and returning, good till

A large trained wild animaJ show has agreed to make a contract if similar con- tracts can be made with other fairs and an application has alredy been received hy the fair at Hope for this attraction.
 At meeting of the travelling men held at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday afternoon the members of the Salesman Club all heartily ex- pressed their interest in the show and agreed to see that posters and litho- graphs advertising the event were placed in the stores, postoffices and stations in the towns they visit. The larger cities will be handled through the regular billpostcrs While the op- mig cf tho fair is still ten weeks off IL IS beginning to arouse q widesDread interest and it is proba 1le that all tae preliminary arrangements for exhi- bits and space will be made by the middle of Scstemhsr.
 Next week the secretary of tho fair will lay cut the grounds for the pur- poses Of lighting and also to arrange the exhibit tents and shows as tho space will be limited on the McGcnec lot, which has been donated for tho occasion. Next to the entrance will he placed the tent holding the merch- ants exhibits and booths so that all who enter the grounds may pass through To the right Of tais will be placed tAe poultry yard for the egg laying contest and at the extreme soul west corner of the let will be placed the tent in which the poultry exhibits will be made. The exhibition tent for agricultural products will he placed in the center of the grounds, around which numerous show and ex- hibition tents will be circled. It is probable that a great deal of the live stock from outside the county will be exhibited on vacant lots adjoining the show grounds which have been re- served for this purpose.

Boyce was to take over ali of BWfke's obligations. Later he sold part of his interest in the land to r, G. Snar. and the Cotton Belt Savings and Trust Company.
 The complaint alleges that Boyce ard Smart have expended large sums of money on the property for precur- ,nS pafc1 asers and large sums have ben paid to the defe0 dant fer rent, in fac the rent has been paid for more than year ahead of time. The pla'nti further allege that they have carried out and performed all clauses in the said contract original ly signed by Mrs. Martin and William Burke, but that the defendant is as serting and attempting to set up a calm of title adverse to the plain tiifs and attempting to declare for Ieiture on tae original contract With Burke, later assigned to the plain tiffs. It is charged that Mrs. Mar in on June IF, 1912, caused noice to be served on Burke and the plain tlffs alleging that on account of fail uTe to carry out the agreement that the contract IS at an end and the de- fendant is threatening to take pos session of the premises; otherwise t9 interfere wilh said plaint'f ifs in carrying Gut the contract and more especially the sale and transfer of los in the Industrial Addition"
 The plaintiffs deny that the things compla ned of are sufficent to cause forfeiture of the contract and al- lege that Mrs. Martin has claimed publicly that the contract has been forfeited and has been offering to sell the land as jhouga no lease ex- i.ed. Such action, allege the plain tiffs is slander on the tile of the plaintiffs and is materially injuring he sale of the lots and will induce many of these whe have purchased lots to forfeit them and refuse to pay the purchase price agreed upon.
 The plaintiffs pray that the defend ant be enjoined and restrained from declaring a forfeiture upon the con- tract and thaI she be restrained and enjcined from setting up title or claim to the prem ses, from taking possession apd otherwise interfering with the free use and occupancy of the premises.
 The land in litigation $ just eas of the site where the proposed pack ing plant is to be located II is said that several hundred of the lots have been sold and the suit will deter m'ne whether or nc. those who have purchased the land have a clear title.

MINES LOSE THE FIRST.

The first base ball game of the
season was played on the local dia.
mond Sunday. when the Gilpin Mines
and Idaho Springs team crossed bats
The final score stood Idaho Springs
6. Glpin Mines 3. Both teams played
a ragged game. Errors were numer-
GUS on both sides, with the Mines
team in the lead. Although marked
by ragged fielding, several brilliant
plays were made on each side! Fred
die Roberts, playing left field for
the Miners, made couple Of fine
catches in the left garden. Geo. Par
sons pitched eight innings of the
game. and showed up in league style.
George hasn't gone back in the least
and this summer will hang the skid
do sign on his opponents as hereto
fore. Ike Bolsinger pitched the last
inning Of the game, and showed good
form. Ike has plenty of speed and a
good assortment of curves. 1t looks
as though he will have a good year,
and II he does will more than hold
his own whenever he officiates. With
Parsons and Bolsinger in form, the
pitching staff of the Mines team will
be stronger than it has been for sev-
eral seasons. Art Mitchell is going
to have a good year behind the bat.
He played a heady game Sunday, and
showed that he was the goods. TIE
infield and outfields are little weak
in spots. After the season has pro-
gressed a little and the boys get
limbered up a bit, the Mines team
will prove stronger, than it has for
the past two or three seasons. The
weather Sunday was anything but
good base ball weather, and we must
therefore make allowances for the
poor showing of some of the boys.
Tho Springs boys Put up good clean
game, and showed that they too have
a team this year that will more than
hold its own throughout the coming
season. Following is the summary
and the score by innings of Sundays
game:
Idaho Springs ..3 0 1 o l 90 o 1-6
Gilpin Mines 30 o 0 1 0 0 0 2 %

A NEW BOOK.

Mrs. Almond Thompson is in re-
ceipt Of a book called THE Pendu-
lum," by Miss Cora G. Saddler. who
1t will be remembered is the wife of
the Rev. Frank w. Saddler, who was
the pastor of the St. James n. E.
church in this city s or 9 years ago.
The book has been read by a num-
Der. and has been pronounced excel
lent, among the number. Miss Hynd-
man, who speaks Of 1t as literature
and who thinks enough Of the work
to order 1t for her book shelf and
will recommend 1t to her patrons. The
book Is we'll written, the characters
not over drawn. but are Of the cast
which you meet in every community.
There IL fascinating interest In the
book which impels you to follow the
characters as acQuaintances. and to
love or loath them as the case may
be.
From the moral standpoint It es.
tablishes the fact that the law OF
retribution can no more be repealed
than the law Of gravitation. II is
we'll worth reading by all lovers OF
fiction.

OWNERS ARE LIABLE.

A decision Of much Importance to
miners and mine owners was rend.
cred by Judge Burke in the district
court a few days ago. J.. NJ. Grim,
owner Of the Herald mine at Sugar
Loaf in Boulder county leased the
same to the Herald Mines company
which employed a number OF men to
work on the property but shut down
without paying the employees who
filed liens on the mine and material.
The claims were assigned to Louis
Yates who brought action to enforce
the liens. which was contested by
Grim. who claimed that they would
not hold against the mine. Judge
Burke held that the liens were valid
because Of failure of the owner to
post notices OF non-liability as re-
Quired by the statute.

"a KENTUCKY BELLE"

The opera house was crowded last
Friday evening to witness the presen-
tation of "a kentucky Belle" by
the Senior class of the Central City
High school. The play met with the
approval Of the large crowd and
was voted as the most successful
school show to be given in num-
Der of years. There was Something
doing every minute in the play. i
The success of the production is
due in a large measure to Geo Ham,
llik. who had been drilling the class
faithfully for the past few weeks.
On account of the lack of sufficient
male talent in the High school to fill
all the parts, Rae Laird played the
leading role of Jack Cason, a STU
dent Of sociology. He handled his
part in a most creditable manner and
took large part in making the play,
a success.
Margaret Gibson, in the leading
role Of Isabelle Douglas, ard Emma
Grutzmacher as Marian Douglas, her
aunt, were credit to their parts.
Delmor Brown as Col. VIM. McMillen,
handled the heavy part in a very able
manner Stella Parsons as Cindy,
negro maid, and VIM. Flick as Henry
the negro Lad engaged to Cindy, are
deserving Of special mention fer the
way they handled these parts. Space
will not permit of an. extended write
up of all who had a part. suffice it
to say the cast were all good, and
all in all, the play was a decided
success.
New songs and specialties were in
troduced throughout the play, and all
were OF the melodious southern var
iety, which are always so pleasing
to hear. Well, anyway, Kentucky
Belle" won the race; Jack Cason won
fair maiden; and Col. VIM. McMil-
len was a maiden fair. So there you
are and then some.

R. e. LADWIo SUFFERS
LOSS BY FIRE.

Fire broke out in the harness and
saddlery shop of z. E. Ladwig Mon.
day. presumably from SCOT In the
stove pipe. The fire was detected
at 1880 by G. NJ. Laird, who was
1ust returning from his pork chops,
He heard cracking noise when he
was passing the Granite house and
attempted to look into the room o,
cupfed by Ladwig. The smoke was SO
deLse he could not see where the,
fire was burning. He notified Mr..
Ladwig and an alarm was turned in
to the department. The department
was on the ground within a minute
G. two after the alarm was sounded.
The fire was first fought from the
front of the building, but it was
soon discovered that the flames we're
issuing from back of a PARTON. A
hose was run from First High street,
through the rear OF the building and
the flames were quickly extinguish-
ed.
Much damage was done to the in
t.rior Of the room and the stock. A
large quantity of leather back of the
partition and also stock remedies and
other goods were totally destroyed.
The heat was intense and the har-
ness, tools and machinery in the
front part were damaged by smoke
and water. The loss to the stock
will amount to between $500 and $500
and the loss to the building about
$500. Both the building and stock Is
fully covered by insurance.
1t is fortunate for both Mr.. Lad
wig and the owners of the building
that Mr.. Laird with his searching eye
for news happened to detect the fire
just when he did or the flames would
have extended to the upper floor Of
the building and the damage would
have been very extensive.

MRS TAscHER Is
SENT TO PUEBLO.

d Mrs. Rose Tascher, wife OF Jacob
Asscher. was ladjudged insane by a
jury in the county court yesterday
morning and was committed to the
asylum at Pueblo. Mrs. Tascher's 8
mind has been distracted for some
time and during the past few weeks
much complaint has been made
against her.
Last Friday she was in Nevadaville
disturbing the women Of that peace
ful place and threatened to burn
down the Murphy house when refused
admittance. Among those who testi-
fled as to her peculiar actions
were: Emmett Tuck, Henry Lam
mann, John McGinnis, John Mack.
DR.. C. M. Froid, and her husband.
DR.. Froid said he had investigated
the woman's condition and had salts
fled himself that she is troubled with
senile dementia. He said that one
suffering a mental arrangement Of
this kind was not necessarily danger
GUS to others, but was more Of a
menace to their own safety and well
fare. He said the ailment is progress
sive and that the patient invariably
grows worse. He said while he was
examining Mrs. Tascher in the Jail,
she requested that he give her a
match that she might burn down the
Jail.
e Mrs. Tascher Is 65 years OF age,
although when. asked her age by the
court she demurely replied. "abOut
forty" This reply did not necessarily
signify that her mind was unbalanced
as those Of the gentler sex are allow
ed the widest latitude in stating their
ages. She has been married 80 years.
