AGAIN
TWO MORE CHARGES OF BRI.
Berry LODGED AGAINST DEN.
YER CONTRACTOR - ADD.
TIONAL BOND REQUIRED

C. G. Sheely, the Denver contrac'
tor under indictment in connection
with the Irregularities in Weld
county affairs, was arrected again
Yesterday afternoon in Greeley on
two additional charges of bribery
He was allowed to go on his own
recognizance to provide at an early
date additional bond in the sum OF
$4,000. 1t is expected that he Will
furnish this bond tomorrow or Mon
day. This will bring his total bond
to S32 500.
The charges on which Sheely was
arrested Yesterday are based on the
return of $500 to the county by
Frank Peterson, deputy county
clerk and clerk to the board OF
county commissioners until he re-
signed a few months ago. 1t Is
rumored that Peterson in a state
ment given to District ATTORNEY
Carlson declared that the money
had been given him by Sheely IL
amounts of $3.50 each.
1t is rumored that the first step
in the defense of Sheely will be 10
ask for a change of venue on the
allegation that a fair trial coulu
not be secured in Weld county ow-
ing to the prejudice existing IN the
minds of all against him. Thls ap-
plication doubtless will be mace
on or before next Tuesday, when
the Nav term of the district court
will begin and the docket will oe
set A date will be set for hearlhs
arguments on the change OF Venue.

Poudre irrigation system and j. c.
White, Hunter and Bailey and A..
A. Howard have crews on the job

that big force is to be put on the
project by the first of next week
and that d. A. Camfield, president
of the Northern Construction COM
pany, will be home today ready to
make plans for the completion of

it is understood has been arranged
within the last few days.

FARMERS AROUND LA SALE
HAVE PLEDGED 5000 TO DATE
NO TROUBLE EXPECTED IN
GETTING ALL NEEDED

LaSalle, May 11.-Up-to-date
5000 acres have been pledged by
the LaSalle farmers for growing
sugar beets for the proposed Inde-
pendent Sugar factory to be estab-
lished in or near this locality. AL
though the roads were too heavy
for all the committee to get to work
yesterday Jo Bainbridge travelled
over the section near his farm and
proved himself the best single
handed" contract rustler when he
turned in 500 acres subscribed as
reuslt of his days work. j. A.
Hicks and w. c McMurray went
over the adjoining territory on the
east yesterday and Ward Darley
went into the Godfrey Bottoms
country with good results. Today
members of the committee will work
in and about town and it is ex-
pected to secure contracts for at
least 5000 acres in this vicinity be-
lore the end of next week.
Tonight at 1880 O'Clock there
will be a meeting of the local Farm
er's Union at Fraternal hall when
reports of the committee will be
given and when acreage may be
pledged So we'll have farmers res
pOuucu IL WOulu AOI 10 ouA-
prising If the 5000 acres wanted
from LaSalle would be subscribed
by tonight.
Most of the farmers are sub
&c .LIng on al ave a,e twenty
acres each. 1t is the judgment OF
the committee that the iaImer con-
tract only that acreage of which he
is sure he can care Tor in the best
possible shape. The committee has
not referred to contracts that farm
ers may make with any other sugar
factories. The LaSalle community
is interested in securing sufficient
acreage for an Independent factory
and have no time to discuss any
other beet sugar propositions. The
81 to 50 a ton for beets proposition
looks good to the grower and it is
usually the only argument needed
to secure a nice contract. 1t is ex-
pected to have big turnout at the
meeting tonight. Ward barley,
the proposed factory will
be there and answer questions. He
must leave by the latter part of next
week and it is hoped by that time
to have most of the 10000 acres
for the factory signed.

will grow 40 acres OF tomatoes for

pany has already rented parcels OF
grounds in the vicinity of Milliken
and will hire man to look after
the acreage grown and harvest the
crop. The company will share the
expense Of the project and will pro
rate the net profits. The association
was organized not SO much for
profit as to further the interests OF
the canning factory which must Sc
cure q hundred acres to operate.
The tomato plants have been secur-
ed in this vicinity for hot beds with

and on May 20 all the crop will be
set out,
The Milliken canning factory Will
be operated by the Greene Canning

last year but was not opearted be-
cause OF the failure of the crop to
mature owing to the lateness OF
the season. This year promises to
be good one for tomatoes and the
factory will handle 4
put from the 100 acres contracted
and possibly from more acres.

SAVED BY DOG

Ault, May 1O.-The account of
the rescue of the two year old son
of John Sanford from the fangs of
rattle snake by the family dog
yesterday reminded Mrs. r. l..
Pence, wife of the postmaster OF
Ault OF a similar experience which
befell her when a child. She was
about two years old and was walk
ing out of the front gate in her
Illinois home following her pa
rents to church. For some reason
the baby turned and went back to
the house and as she was about to
climb on the front porch a big rat
tie snake coiled and made ready to
strike. The pet dog who saw the
snake rushed at 1t and shook the
reptile to death. So grateful were
the parents to the dog that long
after it was blind and useless 1t was
cared for devotedly.

How TO get enough homes to house

the mills of Gary but who are compelI-
ed to live in surrounding towns and as
far west West Chicago and as far

discussed by the business and steel in

is high in Gary and how it may be re-

that of nearly 5000 men employed by

That said credentials committee re-

ing delegates were present, either in
person or by attorney, and offered to
prove the right of said contestfng dele

done in a fraudulent manner by the
