tire crop OF many growers was placed
in the hands of these commission
men without a dollars worth OF Sc
curity. and sold by them without any
sort of check. The proposals of the
measure have been outlined in this
paper before. Those present at the
banquet last night unanimously en-
dorsed the bill and pledged 1t the
support of the Fruita Chamber of
Commerce. The motion was made
by r. S. Baker.
Representative Mann discussed
this bill and other matters during a
brief talk in which many jocular ref
erences were made to Mr.. Skinner as
the next speaker.
Arthur j. Lee, cashier of the First
Bank of Fruita. was called upon to
outline the underlying causes for the
proposed division of Mesa county,
and to show the financial stability
of the new county. He told of the
grievance the lower valley has had
for years against the county commits
sioners and how the failure OF that
board to give the Fruita people their
Just proportion of taxes for road and
bridge improvement has caused them
to use this method of securing for
themselves what the rest of the coun-
ty would not give them. He gave
many figures which he declared to
have been taken from the certified
records and in many ways urged the
favorable consideration of his bill.
/. II. Whittemore followed with an
interesting talk on THE Undevelop-

agricultural. horticultural and graz

"HAT, in the event that the pro-
posed bill to establish Wilson
county fails in the next legisla-
tire, another measure would be in
troduced urging the annexation of a
portion of Garfield county to Mesa
county will be introduced. The peo-
pie of Fruita propose to see that that
portion OF Garfield county lying west
of the divide between Roam creek and
the Big Salt wash Is given an oppor-
tunity of doing its county business
in Mesa county. even though 1t falls
to secure a new county for itself.
These facts developed at the meet

1t also became apparent that Rep

on the proposed measure with much
favor, and the same is true in greater

TOMORROW WILL MARK OPENING
OF FIRST HOMICIDE CASE IN
LOCAL COURT IN SEVEN YEARS
Brilliant Pleas Are Made by the
Attorneys In Closing In
CoIIbran Case.

Brilliant pleas on the part of the
attorneys were the features of the
close of the case against Jesse Snipes
this morning. The entire forenoon
was taken up in the arguments, and
upon very few occasions, indeed, have
more eloquent or forceful addresses
been made to juries.
The court turned the case over to
the panel at 1890 pm. and they
have been out ever since.
The grilling cross-examination to
which Attorney S. n. Wheeler sub
mitted the witnesses caused consid-
cradle confusion among them. and
many variations We're developed in
their testimony. These discrepancies.
while not altogether material in
themselves. served to arouse consid-
cradle doubt about the credibility of
some OF them.

sion upon the jurymen.
The evidence was closed last night
After Snipes. who was testifying

ton and Fred Tanner were recalled
by the prosecution. Humeston was
not allowed to testify, but Mr.. Tanner
rebutted the statements of DR.. Will
lam Zinke, who declared that Tanner
could not have seen the difficulty
from the place where he declared he
stood when the shooting took place.
This morning at 8 O'Clock. Judge
Shackleford read his instructions to
the jury and the attorneys began
their arguments. Samuel G. Nc
Mullin, special prosecutor of ! the
state. made the opening plea and for
an hour he held the close attention
of his hearers as he reviewed the tes-
timony and urged upon the jury the
conviction of the prisoner. His ad
dress was a master effort and was
considered by spectators of the trial
to be one of the best speeches ever
heard in the court room.
He was followed by Samuel N.
Wheeler and Col. w. T. S. May, who
made brilliant pleas to the jury. Col.
Mays eloquence has seldom been
heard to better advantage, while Mr..
Wheeler's logical argument produced
profound effect upon all who
heard il.
II. l.. McClintock made the closing
address and emphasized many points
in the testimony which had not been
touched upon by the others.
