ing from Denver, at the instance of
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney ].
k. Charlesworth. to make investiga-
tions of the charges preferred that
Ernest Gillette, a resident of North
Delta, was engaged in the liquor
business and that he was not in pos
session of the government license
required.
The two government officers pro-
ceeded at once to gain what fnfor-
nation they could, with the result
that Gillette was placed under ar
day, and given a preliminary hear
ing before u. S. Commissioner NJ
R Welch Tuesday evening, when
he was held in $500 bond for ap-
pearance before the United States
grand jury IN Denver next May.
Gillette is the man who was ac-
quilted of the charge of bootleg
ging' by a Jury in the county court
a few weeks ago, and three or four

that hearing were before U. S. Com
missioner Welch Tuesday evening

these was James Doyle. s years of
age. who stated that he had pur-
chased quart of whiskey from Gill
lette at his home in North Delta
some little time since. He said he
had heard about town that Gillette
was selling whiskey and he went
there and made the purchase.
Byron Charlesworth testified that
he had purchased intoxicants from
Gillette many times. He had pur-
chased both beer and whiskey, the
His purchases were made for men
about town who wanted the goods.

SMITH SHIPS BUNCH OF NUT
TON FROM HIS DELTA RANCH

]. G. Smith, who lives up the Gun
nison valley a few miles, has been
trying an experiment IN feeding
through the winter. the result of
which can doubtless soon be made
known. and which will be looked
forward TO with interest.
Mr.. Smith bought 1000 lambs
late last fall to fatten on his beet
crop. Elaving figured that he could
get more money out of it that way
than by selling it to the factory.
Whatever the profit results may
be after the work and material have
been summed up in detail, the flock
of lambs seem to have thrived and
tattened beautifully on their win
tiers feed. They were brought to
town Monday and Shipped to mar
ket and formed as handso me bunch
of mutton as anyone could wish to
see
When the returns come in the
facts can be ascertained regarding
profits. If the pay is all right Mr..
Smith will follow up the practice
and raise either sugar beets or Man
gel-wurtzels for feed each year on
lis fine valley farm.

ONIONS BRING OI1ATHE
MAN A RECORD YIELD.

c H. Picker recently sold three
carloads of onions in Chicago at So
10 per hundred. The cars contained
$4,000 pounds. which brought the
result to s2,914, or nearly $1,000 a
car. In addition, Mr.. Picker claims
to have sold $500 worth of oninons
from the field of four acres from
which this shipment was made, max
ing the gross yield of the patch
$3.50 per acre
Onions, at harvesting season last
fall, were low in price, only about
one-half that obtained for this mid
winter shipment in the Chicago mar
,,et, so those who were situated to
do so. held their crops for time
when demand might give them
better market.
With little care the onion is
sure keeper and usually finds its
place at good selling demand some
time between crops. Not being
staple like the potato, it would hard
ly be good product for every
farmer to plunge in, as overproduc-
tion would result.

journey was made in good shape.
The journey hcmweard, too, was
almost concluded without mishap,
when team of spirited horses that
was driven by farmer was con-
fronted. The farmer, it is said,
started to guide his team to one
side of the road. and then, evident
ly changing his mind, drew out ca
the other side. The chaffeur was
unable to turn his machine so sud
denly. and a collision followed. in
which the auto was completely over
turned and the driver and his pas
sengers hurled to terra firma with
considerable force.
Fortunately two of the women
escaped with trivial bruises but Mrs
Crose and Mrs. Blair were found to
be quite seriously injured. Mrs.
Crose was pinned beneath the over
turned machine and it was several
momnets before she could be liber-
ated. The farmer offered himself
and his conveyance for the use of
the party in completing the journey
