 THE FAIR ISsION.-There was a meeting of the fair commission yesterday with Messrs. Keegan, Camp bell, Henderson and Secretary Wood present. Though there is a good deal of work to be done the commission de- cided by a unanimous vote that it would not look right and it would not be treating Messrs. Barnum and Bailey with the courtesy due those dis tinguished gentlemen, to hold their session in the afternoon or night The board applied the golden rule to their action in this respect. They realized that they would not like it if some body should come here and set up an attraction in opposition to the fair.

Co. VIII det Very Little

The property of the Union Trading Co..
consisting of fourteen stores on the West

was disposed of by auction in the United
States bankruptcy court at Pueblo on
Saturday afternoon.
An eleventh-hour compromise, offering
so 2-5 cents on the dollar and an even
later proposition. offering rs cents on the
dollar. were rejected by the creditors.
represented by Attorney Ellis of Denver,
who said that if the offer had been made
a week ago or in time for the attorneys
to confer with their clients, 1t might have
been accepted. but that it came at time
when buyers were in court ready to bid
and as an attorney representing his
clients he preferred to decline the offers
of compromise and take his chances, as
was requested by clients.
The property of the company was then
sold piecemeal at auction 1t brought S55,

The Lewis Bros. & johnson Hardware
and Furniture Co. of this city, purchased
the Rocky Ford store. which invoiced at

Frank C. Goudy. representing the
stockholders. stated that loans negotiated
by the company had failed at the last
minute through some cause not explained
and that an outside influence had worked
to prevent the company from securing
loans. In one instance it was brought
out that a Denver firm which held
$4,000 worth of securities had advance
ed $4,000. The tieup of securities on
small loans had ruined the company ac-
cording to the stockholders.
Taken in its entirety the sale Of the
Union Trading company property was
a great sacrifice and the buyers will be
enriched by their purchase many times
the amount Of the purchase. The
stockholders mistake in offering to COM
promise at the last minute after the sale
Of the property had commenced was fatal
to them and they will lose the amount
they have paid fer their stock, as the
sale will just little more than balance
the unsecured debts.

ATTORNEY DU0AN
Has Exciting Experience with Insur-
rectos In Small Mexican Town.

P.F. Dugan. the welI-known land at
torney and irrigation lawyer of Pueblo.
reached home on Monday after an excit-
ing experience of two weeks during
which he was held captive by one of the
rebel bands in Old Mexico. Only clash
of authority between two leaders of the
crowd of insurrectos stood between him
and death, it is said. until the rebel band
was surprised by federal troops last
Thursday morning and he was rescued.
Some three weeks ago Mr.. Dugan left
for Cuer Navara, small town in Mexico
to investigate big land deal for Colorado
clients. and nothing had been heard from
him from the time he crossed the border
until Friday when kilograms were receiv-
ed that he had reached El Paso in safety.
1t was the tenor of the kilograms that
Mr.. Dugan had been captured in the out
skirts of one Of the little towns of a cent
raj province of Old Mexico by band of
Rapata rebels. They took him for a spy
or a secret service agent In the employ
of the United States government. it is
believed. and made plans at once to end
his existence. Some members Of the band
including one of the leaders. feared some
what the possible consequences of such
an act, and dreading the ire of the United
States government in case the proposed
cold -blooded murder were carried out.
they called halt to the scheduled exeeu-
ton and demanded that care and discre-
ton be exercised in the punishment of the
supposed enemy.
1t was at time when the leaders Of
the band almost had agreed upon his i'm
mediate execution when the rebels were
taken by surprise in the middle of the
night by an overwhelming force of fed
erals and the captors of the we'll known
Puebloan few for their lives and liberty.
leaving him behind. The federal troops
lost no time in restoring him to the COM
forts of life and to his own country, and
as he had already completed his business
negotiations when he was taken into
custody, Mr.. Dugan lost no time in gain
ing the Americas side of the line. and
reached home on the date mentioned "a
bove, but little the worse for his exciting
experience.

the game every way possible.
The Rocky Ford boys were true sports

TAKEN TO COUNTY JAIL
Law Breakers Are Being Picked Up
BY City Police

On Tuesday the city marshais had
considerable business to attend to IN
La Junta. In their custody was Lem
Jordan, the chap who created rough
house in south side chilli parlor about
midnight Saturday and made his geta-
way from the night marshal. but was
| captured next day and after hearing IN
Judge Chritton's court was given thirty
days in Jail and assessed the costs which
will keep him where he can do no mis-
chief for ten days longer.
The officers also had with them
couple of Young Mexicans, recent arrivals
from Las Animas. who were arrested on
Monday night and were bound over to the
district court on charge of adultery.
The couple gave their names as Jose
Florenz aged 2 | and Margareta Martinez
aged l6.
In addition to the prisoners the mar shal
had an information to file in the juvenile
court against eleven boys of this city.
whose names the Enterprise will not
publish at this time through sympathy
with their relatives. For several weeks
past the officers have been trying to trace
the perpetrators of series of small
robberies, but it was not until Monday
after Geo. E. Bryant's office and Clark &
Thomas music store had been broken
into-that they could get line on any of
the suspected lads. Working the third
degree on couple of the boys the city
marshal learned that there was regular
organized gang of the young thieves. and
he eventually got the names of the entire
bunch, some of whom had broken into
Barnett's store on Chestnut avenue the
night of Feb. 2 and helped themselves
to candy and gum. The rest of the gang
were implicated in the petty larcenies OF
Sunday night. when they got intoBryant's
cash register and took everything it con-
tained-which happened to be bunch of
keys, At the music store they Jared a
little better and filed their pockets with
pencils. balls. tablets and the like. but in
no case did the boys get any money.
In view of this fact and the tender ages
of the eleven-who range from 9 to l6
years old-it is thought likely that Judge
MoDaniels will be lenent with them when
they come before him next Wednesday.

PREPARING FOR
Big VALLEY FAIR
Improvements to Fair Ground
and Race Track Ordered
WATERMELON GROVE
TO BE ENLARGED
New Plan Proposed to Provide the
Sweet Juice Boxes Required for
Our Big Feast Day.

The members of the board of
directors of the Arkansas Valley
Fair association were out in force
on Friday and spent the entire
day in making plans for the 1912
fair.
A change was made in the class
of the trotting race to be held on
the second day of the fair from a
2:25 to 2;30 class in order to
conform to the classes offered by
the other members of the Santa
Fe racing circuit.
The prices of admission will
remain as before but few chang
es have been found necessary in
the prices of grandstand seats.
The boxes for tho four days will
cost ten, twelve and sixteen dollars
according to location.
1t has been the custom in years
past for the citizens to contribute
toward the expense of the melons
but it was found in the past two
years that the contributions were
not sufficient to nearly cover the
expenses and the deficit has been
met by the fair association. 1t is
now proposed to adopt another
plan.
G. V. Ryan of the board offered
a proposition for the donation of
watermelons to the effect that he
would undertake to secure dona-
tions from the farmers and melon
growers Of as many melons as the
members of the board would agree
to donate. The plan was unani-
mously adopted and the members
of the board present agreed to fur
nish 2,200 melons.
In the afternoon the borrd pro-
ceeded to the Fair grounds and
gave attention to the improve
ments suggested:
Amongst those that were ord
cred is the addition of about rs
stalls to the stables for show
horses, extending them around
the west, south and east sides OF
the west part of the grove, he
east string Of stalls to be as far
east as the east side of Eighth
street.
Also, that the quar- ter stretch be
extended east to east end of old
grand stand and improved by fill
ing and grading so as to give
slope from the back to the fence.
The grounds for the melon pile
are also to be enlarged to accomo-
date a great many more on the
annual feast day.
