Bassett, in his complaint, tells the
court that prior to Sept. 10, 1910,
Taylor falsely represented to him that
there was a thriving new town in Gar
field county, Colorado, named Chapman,

that the town had been surveyed,

Bassett says that he believed this
story, for Conrad gave him a copy Ct
the Chapman Herald, in which he saw
divers advertisements of prosperous
mercantile and industrial firms that
were making business hum in Chapman.
But what particularly impressed
Bassett with Conrad IS earnestness, says
the complaint, was the statement that

Former Garfield County Girl
Writes Prize Essay in the
Schools Of Albany, Ore.
MAKES DANGER PLAIN

The following from an Albany, Ore
gon, paper relates to the daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Chapman who for
many years lived on a ranch in the
Cattle creek country:
Following is the essay that won the
prize at the high school building last
night, on the subject of narcotics, pre-
sented by Miss Hazel Chapman:
Tobacco is a very important plant
belonging to the nightshade family.
According to some authorities, smoK
ing was practiced by the Chinese at Il
very early date. At the time of tho
discovery Of America, tobacco was IN
frequent use among the Indians and
the practice of smoking, which had
with them a religious character, was
common to all the tribes.
The name tobacco was either derived
from the term used in Hayti to desig
nate the pipe, or from tobacco in San
Domingo, whence it was introduced
ihto Spain ana lofiupdl IN 1903 bN Il
Spaniard. 1t soon found its way to
Paris and Rome and was first used IN
the shape of snuff.
Smoking is generally supposed TO
have been introduced into England by
Sir Walter Raleigh, but Camden says
the practice was introduced by Drake
and his companions on thir return
from Virginia in 1858.
1t was strongly opposed by both
priests and rulers.
All prohibitions, however, regal or
priestly, Were of no avail, and tobacco

TEDIOUS week IN
DISTRICT COURT
Booze vender Gets Minimum
Fine MEN Accused Of the
Borst Larceny On Trial
CASE TO Jury TODAY

The criminal business of the district
court was taken up last Saturday and
J. c. Richardson was arraigned for
violating the state liquor law in regard
to Sunday closing. The offense was
committed last summer after Sheriff
,Jessup had warned all Glenwood saloon
keepers Flat they must obey the state
laws or suffer the consequences. Jes-
sup didn't stutter when he said it;
neither did he wink the other eye but
there was an appearance of determine
tion in his attitude which convinced
everybody but Richardson that he
meant Business and they closed up as
per order.
Richardson organized "club" and
after giving away few membership
certificates started Sunday thirst
eradicator at the old Cedarbrook stand
on Cooper avenue. His arrest followed
and last Saturdays trial was the out
come.
Richardson, by his counsel and per
sonally, entered a plea of guilty and
then plead in extenuation that he
thought at the time of committing the
oifense that he was withing the law.
He said he knew the Elks in many
places had maintained clubs
similar to the one he proposed
to operate here and he had been III
formed that the law could not reach
them He made what would have
seemed like quite a plausible explain
alton to one not acquainted with the
facts.
a.ie-Sh.pate seemed to take soma
stock in Richardson's explanation and
gave him the minimum penalty, 500
and costs, and the district attorney
then entered a nolle in the other case
against Richardson, who went away
smiling.

ECH0S OF A PAPER" TOWN
Garfield County Suffers in Reputation
From Wildcat Promoter Of the
chapman Towsite Fake

Garfield county is so rich in posi-
bilities and possesses history so re
pete with financial achievements it is
little wonder that the land and town
lot schemer, the smooth swindler who
passes sleepless nights in his efforts
to divorce the unsophsticated from
his hard earned hekels, should look
to this county of splendid opportuni
ties as field for his disreputable op-
erations.
In this connection the following
story will possess deep interest to
many of the local citizens of Glen
wood and New Castle:
A Garfield county wild cat scheme
that surpasses in badness anything yet
heard of in Colorado came to light ia
the Denver district court yesterday
when j. A. Bassett swore that he pu--
chased a home in the "town of Chap
man. in Garfield county, and worked
might and main as an industrial agent
to bring other people to the same towl
when as a matter Of fact no such town
ever existed. Bassett also declares
that part of the "proof' was a
newspaper, "The Chapman Herald, +"
which purported to be published at tine
seat of operations.
The wall of an alleged wildcat"
victim was heard in the district court
yesterday when j. A. Bassett fled suit
against Conrad Tayor for $4,000 dam
ages alleging some new departure in
"gold brick" methods by which Bas-
sett, to use his own language, was

money had been well and intclligently
spent we should have today at least
200 miles of first class and permanent
roads instead Of few miles of very
Indifferent roads, Mr.. Rosenberg
told Of how men get to be road over
seers, not because of their knowledge
of road building, but because they hav"
political friends. He stated great
many truths and, incidentally, made a
very good republican speech.
E. l.. Mum of Leadville said. "Ten-
nessee pass road is built. l know t
is feasible route. To be sure it needs
Il few polishing touches but these will
be put on this year,
X. G. Horn of Vernal, Utah, said,
" We up in Utah are very much inter.
ested in good roads. We are also in
terested in railroad to our country
but between the two We have about
concluded that wagon road is the
more important question:
Fred G. Shaffer, municipal publicity
agent of Grand Junction, said, "No
matter how much of road we may
build through the canon, what does this
avail if we cannot find way out!
The National Highway association has
long since. designated as the traascon-
tinental route that along the line Of
the d. & R. G. railroad. The transcon'
tnental tourist is going to insist that
the roads he travels must be along IT
near railroad, so that in case of
breakdown he can take advantage of
the telephone or telegraph lines or if
need be the railroad lines which he
may want to use in shipping his ma
chine or in shipping parts by freight
or express.'' Mr.. Shatfer referred to
the good roads meeting at Salt Lake
and asked that the Glenwood Motor
club or the citizens designate some one
to represent them there. Bishop Brews-
ter was named as the Glenwood dele
gate to the Salt Lake meeting. Mr..
Shatier also urged liberal representa-
tiou from the association at a joint
Utah Colorado meeting to be held at
Grand Junction May 2 and 3.
Judge l.. r. Thomas, representing
the Eagle county contingent, made
lively and interesting talk in which
he favored the Tennessee pass route.
He said there should be 500 people at
Sweetwater lake during the summer
and predicted that they would be there
after the work now projected on the
county road was finished.
J. Fred kamm thought the way to
build road was to build it and he
thought it was time We had less hot
work. He said to build roads with
pick and shovel and plow and scrap.r
was better than with resolutions and
conventions.
Secretary Joseph Clarke thought the
meetings were very helpful in keeping
up the interest. He introduced a reso-
luton endorsing the Lincoln Highway,
which was unanimously adopted.
Mr.. Wilbur of Buena Vista moved
that the western terminus of the Holy
Cross division of the state highway
be extended to the Utah line and this
was carried
motion was then made and carried
that when adjournment was taken !.
be to meet at Grand Junction May 2
and ,. The Eagle county people will
try to get a meeting following that on
May IL, but no definite action was
taken on that.

Prophesied Disaster

Oracle denied that any of the pas
sengers had been fred upon, but stated
that shots were fired to intimidate some
steerage passengers who tumbled into
one of the boats before it was pre-
pared for launching.
''Before l retired,n he said, "I had
long chat with Charles H. Hays, pres
ident of the Grand Trunk railroad, III
which President Hays had said, "The
White Star line, the Cunard and the
Hamburger line are vieing with
each other to attain supremacy in lux
uriousness of their ships. The time
will come when this rivalry will be
capped with an appalling disaster.
Four hours later he was dead.

Believed Fortune Teller.

The last woman, Oracle said, was a
Miss Evans of New York, who refused
to be rescued because a fortune teller
in London had told her just before she
sailed that she would meet her death
on water. An English woman, who re-
fcused to give her name, recounted her
experience and praised Fifth Officer
Lowe in manning the life boats ade
quately and saving many lives. She
said that Lowe returned to the scene
of the wreck and picked up several
from life raft which was sinking.

Thirty Saved on Raft

Oracle told in graphic detail how,
from the toPmost deck, he jumped into
the waves as the Titanic went down.
The engulfed ship swirled around and
he said it seemed an interminable time
before he came to the surface. When
he cleared his eyes of water he found
man near him struggling towards a
life raft which he also boarded The
two men then began helping others and
at dawn had thirty with them on the
raft. Four hours before they were
picked up by the Carpathia they stood
knee deep in water as their raft was
overloaded.

He said: 81 was eating when the
Titanic struck The shock was terrible
and the vessel trembled from stem to
stern. None seemed to know the exact
extent of the accident. ] felt the boat
rise and she seemed to be riding over
the ice. 1t seemed to me that the dis
ciplne aboard was wonderful.'
Col. Oracle Saved
Col. Archibald Oracle was the last
man to be saved as far as is known at
this hour. He went down with the boat
but was picked up. Tonight he was
met by his daughter. He told a remark
able story of personal hardship and
denied emphatically the story of the
panic. He declared that the conduct
of the passengers and crew was most
praiseworthy. 1t was he who confirm
ed the story that Mrs. Isadore Strauss
went down with her husband, refusing
to leave him.
