PLEA SOFTENS
JUDGES HEART

Referring to the release of Ar
mold J. Simmons of this city, arrest
ed last week here for forging his
partners name to money order, the
Denver Post of Sunday says:
when Federal Judge h. Il. Lewis
heard the story of Arnold Simmons,
arrested on the charge of forging a
postoffice money order for $4S3, he
ordered his release instanter, and
permitted him TO go back to his place
as brakeman on the Denver & Rio
Grande at Grand Junction.
simmons and John Perry came to
Colorado a year ago from Lexington,
Mo. They went to Grand Junction,
where Simmons obtained work and
Perry had friends. The latter was
in desperate financial straits and his
friends and relatives were quaran-
tined with scarlet fever so he could
not obtain aid from them.
Simmons not only supplied money
to keep Perry, but he carried large
quantities of goods to the people in
quarantine. Perry wrote back to
Missouri for money to pay Simmons
back what he had expended. They
sent him $4.S3 by a money order
Perry handed the order to Simmons,
and the latter, ignorant of the law,
signed Perry's name and cashed the
order
"lt was a technical violation; but
the federal grand jury felt that the
law must be observed and Simmons
was brought to Denver
Simmons story of brotherly love
and charity touched Judge Lewis,
and he released the prisoner on his
own recognizance. Simmons was
brought to Denver because he could
not provide a $500 bond

Crop Failure.

Pueblo county will have practically
no cherries this summer. The severe
w!ntel so injured the trees that the
fruit is found only on few trees.
The trees are not permanently in
jured. The cherries now on the To-
cal market are shipped in from the
south and are selling at 1915 per
crate wholesale. The western slope
has an enormous crop on what cherry
trees they have, but the number of
trees is comparatively small. Ohio re-
ports good crop and it is probable
that most of the local demand will
be supplied from east of the Miss
issippi river-Pueblo Chieftain.

The woman took the change and the
ticket and sat down, but she did not
put either change or ticket into her
purse. She held them In her hand,
and looked quite troubled. Finally
she went to the agent again.
II am sure there is some mistake"
she said. Il came from Greensburg
yesterday and l paid 40 cents"
"Our regular rate to Greensburs Is
80 cents" said the agent. ITS all
right, madam" he added. in a reas-

Again she took her seat, but not for
long. Again she came to the window
and spoke to the agent:
VIII you please explain to me why
the rate from here to Greensburg Is
only 80 cents when the rate from
Greensburg here is 40?"
This was a question that the agent
really could not answer. but the wom-
an looked 80 distressed over the un-

he felt sorry for her.
"Oh, it's down grade going that way,
you know" he explained, in a busl-
